SummaryThe roles of N- Methyl –D- Aspartate receptor in the processing of nociception has led to renewed clinical interest in ketamine, an antagonist of NMDA receptor. Low-dose ketamine had been reported to possess analgesic effect though the paucity and inconsistency of such data have called for direct evaluation of this claim. This study therefore explored the analgesic effect of a sub-psychotomimetic dose of ketamine (SPDK), evaluated such effect on morphine- and diclofenac-induced analgesia and determined its possible neuronal mechanism of analgesia. Mice weighing between 18-25 g were randomly distributed into two major groups consisting of Group 1 and 2 which were used for the assessment of analgesic effect and determination of neuronal mechanism of 1 mg/kg ketamine using the hot plate model; and the formalin-induced pain model respectively. Data were presented as mean ± standard error of mean SEM and analyzed using ANOVA followed by post-hoc analysis (StudentNewman-Keuls) and P < 0.05 was set as an accepted level of significance. The SPDK induced significant analgesia in the hot plate model but caused allodynia in the formalin-induced pain model. In addition, SPDK potentiated morphine-induced and diclofenac-induced analgesia in both the hot plate and formalin tests, while naloxone significantly blocked its analgesic effect at 90 minutes post-administration in the hot plate test. This study showed that SPDK induced analgesia in the acute pain model but aggravated pain in the chronic model. It also potentiated both morphine and diclofenac-induced analgesia possibly mediated through modulation of opioidergic pathway in mice.Keywords: Sub-Psychotomimetic Dose, Ketamine, morphine, diclofenac, allodynia, hot plate model, formalininduced pain model, NMDA receptors, opioidergic pathway Resume Les roles du recepteur N-Methyl-D-Aspartate dans le traitement de la nociception ont suscite un regain d’interet clinique pour la ketamine, un antagoniste du recepteur NMDA.

N-甲基- d -天冬氨酸受体在痛觉加工中的作用使氯胺酮(一种NMDA受体拮抗剂)重新引起了临床的兴趣。据报道,低剂量氯胺酮具有镇痛作用,但此类数据的缺乏和不一致要求对这一说法进行直接评估。因此,本研究探讨亚拟精神剂量氯胺酮(SPDK)的镇痛作用,评估其对吗啡和双氯芬酸诱导的镇痛作用,并确定其可能的神经元镇痛机制。将体重在18 ~ 25 g之间的小鼠随机分为1组和2组,采用热板模型评价1 mg/kg氯胺酮的镇痛作用和测定其神经元机制;和福尔马林致痛模型。数据以均数SEM的均数±标准误差表示,采用方差分析和事后分析(StudentNewman-Keuls)进行分析,P < 0.05为可接受的显著性水平。SPDK在热板模型中引起明显的镇痛作用,但在福尔马林诱导的疼痛模型中引起异常性疼痛。此外,SPDK在热板和福尔马林实验中均能增强吗啡诱导和双氯芬酸诱导的镇痛作用,而纳洛酮在热板实验中则在给药后90分钟显著阻断其镇痛作用。本研究表明,SPDK在急性疼痛模型中诱导镇痛,但在慢性疼痛模型中加重疼痛。它还增强了吗啡和双氯芬酸诱导的镇痛作用,可能是通过调节小鼠的阿片能通路介导的。关键词:亚拟精神剂量,氯胺酮,吗啡,双氯芬酸,异位性痛觉,热板模型,福尔马林诱导的疼痛模型,NMDA受体,阿片能通路恢复受体n -甲基- d -天冬氨酸的作用,对痛觉的影响,对神经恢复的影响,对氯胺酮的临床作用,对受体NMDA的非拮抗作用。氯胺酮是一种有效剂量的镇痛药,其疗效尚不明显。本研究探讨了氯胺酮(SPDK)剂量下的有效镇痛,评价了吗啡和双氯芬酸诱发的有效镇痛效果,并确定了神经元潜在镇痛的作用机制。研究对象为18 ~ 25组,主要研究对象为2组,主要研究对象为1 ~ 2组,主要研究对象为1 ~ 2组,主要研究对象为1 mg / kg氯胺酮和1 mg / kg氯胺酮。让我们分别用数学公式来建立两个模型。研究对象与被试者之间的差异包括:随机方差分析、随机方差分析、随机方差分析、随机方差分析(Student-Newman-Keuls)、随机方差分析(p < 0.05)、随机方差分析和随机方差分析(p < 0.05)。SPDK是一种具有明显镇痛作用的药物,是一种具有诱发性的药物,是一种具有诱发性的药物,是一种具有诱发性的药物,是一种具有诱发性的药物,是一种具有诱发性的药物,是一种具有诱发性的药物。此外,SPDK与吗啡和双氯芬酸相比具有潜在的镇痛作用,在给药后90分钟内具有明显的阻滞作用,在给药后90分钟具有显著的阻滞作用,在给药后90分钟具有显著的阻滞作用。我们研究了一种新的镇痛方法,这种方法可以诱发慢性疼痛,主要是加重慢性疼痛和慢性疼痛。在吗啡和双氯芬酸的作用下,镇痛作用的潜力是平等的,在阿片的声音和疼痛的作用上,镇痛作用的潜力是平等的。药物:剂量模拟精神,氯胺酮,吗啡,双氯芬酸,异丙酸,斑块模型,双酚a,受体NMDA,阿片类药物West Afr。j .杂志。2017年1月至12月;30-36

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of oxytocin (OX)  administration on conception rates in does. Red Sokoto (RS) does (n = 38) were equally allocated into 2 groups; I: does treated with prostaglandin plus normal saline (PGNS) and II: does treated with prostaglandin plus oxytocin (PGOX). Does were observed for standing oestrus behaviour and bred naturally using sexually active bucks. Results showed that oestrus response, conception and kidding rates were higher in the PGOX (73.7 %, 85.7 % and 58.3 %) than PGNS (63.2 %, 75.0 % and 55.6 %). Interval to onset of oestrus, duration of oestrus did not differ significantly (P < 0.05) between groups. We conclude that administration of oxytocin concurrent with prostaglandin F 2a enhanced oestrus response, conception and kidding rates of Red Sokoto does.

The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of antiseizure claims of Ficus thonningii (FT) leaves by some people in Nigeria. Hydro-ethanol leaf extract of FT was obtained by hot extraction and the LD 50 value was determined using Lorke’s method. Pentylenetetrazole, maximal electroshock and pilocarpine seizure models were employed to assess the antiseizure activity of the extract using Swiss albino mice. The acute toxicity test showed the extract to be fairly safe with LD 50 of 2154 mg/kg. The extract offered protection against pentylenetetrazole and pilocarpine-induced seizures at doses of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg body weight but did not protect mice with maximal electroshock seizures. The observed antiseizure effect of the extract in pentylenetetrazole and pilocarpine seizure models could be due to stimulation of GABA-mediated inhibition in the brain and/or blockade of glutamatergic neurotransmission mediated by N-methyl-D-aspartate.  Ficus thonningii leaf is therefore a potential source of drug for management of epilepsy. Keywords: Seizures, antiseizure, Ficus thonningii leaf extract, albino mice
本研究的目的是调查一些人在尼日利亚声称的抗癫痫的有效性。采用热萃取法得到牛蒡叶的氢乙醇提取物,用洛克法测定其ld50值。采用戊四唑、最大电休克和匹罗卡品癫痫模型对瑞士白化小鼠进行抗癫痫作用评价。急性毒性试验表明,提取物的ld50为2154 mg/kg,相当安全。在剂量为200 mg/kg和400 mg/kg体重时,该提取物对戊四唑和匹罗卡品诱导的癫痫发作有保护作用,但对小鼠的最大电击发作没有保护作用。在戊四唑和匹罗卡平癫痫模型中观察到的抗癫痫作用可能是由于刺激gaba介导的脑抑制和/或阻断n -甲基- d -天冬氨酸介导的谷氨酸能神经传递。因此,梧桐叶是治疗癫痫的潜在药物来源。关键词:癫痫,抗癫痫,梧桐叶提取物,白化小鼠

The effects on down-stream signalling and neuroplasticity are the ways the actions of the presently-used antidepressants, the tricarboxylic acids (TCAs) and the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are enhanced and effected. The present study aims to determine whether the actions of the calcium channel blocker, nifedipine, and the loop diuretics, furosemide and bumetanide are enhanced on chronic administration in the forced swim (FST) model of depression in mice. Six groups (six mice in each group) of male albino mice (25-40g) were used. They were housed in a soundproof laboratory and allowed food and water ad libitum in labeled metal cages. Respective groups were pretreated with 5mg/kg of nifedipine, 10mg/kg of imipramine, 5mg/kg of sertraline, 2.5mg/kg of bumetanide and 10mg/kg of furosemide daily intra-peritoneally for 30 days. A control group received 0.25ml of placebo daily for 30 days. On the test days (Day 1, 15 and 31), the doses were gicen but those on furosemide received 100mg/ kg and the bumetanide group received 75mg/kg intra-peritoneally. Experiment using the forced swim test was then used to evaluate their effect on the prolongation of onset of the period of immobility in mice.The compounds enhanced the prolongation of period of onset of immobility over the acute treatment significantly (F(5,30)= 20.35; (p sertraline>nifedipine> furosemide>bumetanide.

A number of therapeutic agents are known to alter serum trace element levels with dangerous consequences. An earlier study had demonstrated significant alteration in the levels of some trace elements in male rats dosed with paracetamol/methionine. This study is designed to compare serum element presentation at the 4th hour (peak of absorption) with the 16th hour (peak of toxicity) so as to establish how early in the course of paracetamol exposure trace element alteration takes place. This is because essential trace elements take part not only in the process of cell division but in DNA repair system as well, DNA repair system prevents mutation. And because cell division is a continuous process and has been described to be characterized by at least one spontaneous mutation per a million cell divisions, then it becomes expedient to carry out a study of this nature. Eight female Wistar rats per group were used for the study. They were administered with different doses of paracetamol/methionine (5:1) ranging from 350-5000 mg/kg bw. Results indicate that trace element alterations commenced as early as the 4th hour, with these alterations lasting till the end of the 16th hour in both paracetamol & paracetamol/methionine groups at most levels of exposure. Although studies had indicated that addition of methionine to paracetamol may ensure tissue protection even at toxic doses, evidence from this study suggests that it may not prevent trace element alteration, a situation capable of rendering genes to be susceptible to mutation and provoking oxidative stress-induced diseases.

已知一些治疗药物会改变血清微量元素水平,造成危险后果。早些时候的一项研究表明,服用对乙酰氨基酚/蛋氨酸的雄性大鼠体内某些微量元素的水平发生了显著变化。本研究旨在比较第4小时(吸收峰)和第16小时(毒性峰)的血清元素表现,以确定对乙酰氨基酚暴露过程中微量元素改变发生的时间。这是因为必需微量元素不仅参与细胞分裂过程,还参与DNA修复系统,DNA修复系统防止突变。由于细胞分裂是一个连续的过程,并且已经被描述为每一百万次细胞分裂中至少有一次自发突变的特征,因此对这种性质进行研究就变得方便了。每组选用雌性Wistar大鼠8只。它们被给予不同剂量的扑热息痛/蛋氨酸(5:1),范围为350-5000 mg/kg bw。结果表明,在大多数暴露水平下,对乙酰氨基酚和对乙酰氨基酚/蛋氨酸组的微量元素变化早在第4小时就开始了,这些变化持续到第16小时结束。虽然研究表明,在扑热息痛中添加蛋氨酸即使在中毒剂量下也能确保组织保护,但本研究的证据表明,它可能无法防止微量元素的改变,这种情况可能使基因容易发生突变并引发氧化应激诱发的疾病。关键词:扑热息痛;峰值;吸收;毒性;微量元素;Wistar鼠

Angiotensin converting enzyme Inhibitors are often used in sub-optimal doses among Nigerian hypertensive patients and others at high risk of cardiovascular events because of concerns of tolerability or high cost of sustaining therapy. In an open randomized comparative trial, blood pressure lowering effects and safety of high doses of ramipril titrated over a 3 to 12 week period was compared with that of felodipine extended release (ER). Sixty patients with mild to moderate primary hypertension were randomized to receive ramipril (RP) or felodipine ER (FER) in a four phase stepped care trial of 3 weeks interval each. RP or FER was started at a dose of 5mg daily and then increased in subsequent phases according to responses. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) was added as required. Hematological and biochemical parameters and adverse effects were monitored.Monotherapy of FER was significantly more effective than RP in lowering blood pressure (88% FER vs. 7% RP, r= 0.020). 92% of patients treated with RP required addition of HCT (25-50mg) to achieve satisfactory blood pressure control. FER produced significantly higher mean reduction in blood pressure at the ends of weeks 3 and 6 of treatment but comparable mean changes at the end of study period. Both drugs were safe and well tolerated. Ramipril is safe at high doses of 10mg daily in black Nigerian patients with mild to moderate hypertension when titrated over an appropriate period of time and it produces comparative blood pressure lowering effects as 10mg felodipine when used in combination with 25-50mg hydrochlorothiazide. Key words: Ramipril, high doses, felodipine ER, hypertension, blacks.
血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂通常在尼日利亚高血压患者和其他心血管事件高风险患者中以次优剂量使用,因为考虑到耐受性或维持治疗的高成本。在一项开放的随机对照试验中,与非洛地平缓释片(ER)相比,高剂量雷米普利3 - 12周的降血压效果和安全性进行了比较。60例轻中度原发性高血压患者随机接受雷米普利(RP)或非洛地平ER (FER)的四期分步护理试验,每期间隔3周。RP或FER以每天5mg的剂量开始,然后根据反应在随后的阶段增加剂量。根据需要加入氢氯噻嗪(HCT)。监测血液学和生化指标及不良反应。FER单药治疗在降低血压方面明显优于RP (88% FER vs 7% RP, r= 0.020)。92%接受RP治疗的患者需要添加HCT (25-50mg)以达到满意的血压控制。在治疗第3周和第6周结束时,FER产生了显著更高的平均血压下降,但在研究期结束时的平均变化可比较。两种药物都是安全且耐受性良好的。雷米普利在高剂量(每日10mg)的情况下对尼日利亚黑人轻中度高血压患者是安全的,在适当的时间内进行滴定,当与25-50mg氢氯噻嗪联合使用时,它产生的降压效果与10mg非洛地平相当。关键词:雷米普利,大剂量,非洛地平ER,高血压,黑人

The palmyra palm, sometimes called the African fan palm, Borassus aethiopum , is an important food source in Ghana and other African countries. The present study was aimed at investigating the possible antioxidant properties of the aqueous fruit extract of this plant. The total phenolic content was assessed by the Folin-Ciocalteau assay, the antioxidant capacity assayed by the phosphomolydbenum method whereas the antioxidant activity was measured by the ability of the extract to scavenge DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) radicals. Also, the ability of the extract to inhibit lipid peroxidation was established using the linoleic acid autoxidation assay. The results indicate that the extract (0.1-10 mg/ml) contains phenolic compounds which may be responsible for the antioxidant properties since the coefficient of correlation between the total phenolic content and the total antioxidant capacity was high (r 2 =0.9912). The n-propyl gallate (0.001-0.03 mg/ml), a reference antioxidant and the extract exhibited concentration-dependent free radical scavenging activity. The extract also inhibited concentration dependently the lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid. These findings suggest that the fruit extract of Borassus aethiopum contains antioxidant principles and its use as health supplement in alleviating oxidative stress can be exploited. Key words: Borassus aethiopum , Folin-Ciocalteau, phosphomolydbenum, 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, n-propyl gallate.
棕榈,有时被称为非洲扇棕榈,是加纳和其他非洲国家的重要食物来源。本研究旨在探讨该植物果实水提物可能的抗氧化特性。总酚含量采用Folin-Ciocalteau法测定,抗氧化能力采用phosphomolydbenum法测定,抗氧化活性采用清除DPPH (1,1 -diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl)自由基能力测定。此外,利用亚油酸自氧化实验确定了提取物抑制脂质过氧化的能力。结果表明,总酚含量与总抗氧化能力的相关系数较高(r 2 =0.9912),在0.1 ~ 10 mg/ml的含量范围内,总酚类化合物的含量可能与总抗氧化能力有关。没食子酸正丙酯(0.001 ~ 0.03 mg/ml)为参考抗氧化剂,提取物具有浓度依赖性的自由基清除活性。提取物对亚油酸脂质过氧化的抑制作用也呈浓度依赖性。这些结果表明,埃塞俄比亚Borassus aethiopum果实提取物具有抗氧化作用,可以作为健康补充剂来缓解氧化应激。关键词:埃塞俄比亚博拉索,福林-乔卡托,磷钼,1,1 -二苯基-2-苦酰肼,没食子酸正丙酯

The antidiabetic and antioxidant effect of ethyl acetate extract of Terminalia superba (combretaceae) was investigated in streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced type 2 diabetes. Diabetes was induced in adult male wistar rats by intraperitoneal injection of 110 mg/kg of nicotinamide, 15 min before an intravenous injection of 65 mg/kg of streptozotocin. The effects of the plant extract were evaluated on serum glucose, lipid profile, some parameters of oxidative stress, hepatic and renal function. The effects of plant extract on blood pressure were also monitored. Daily administration of the plant extract provoked a significant (P< 0.01) dose dependent reduction in serum glucose levels. At the end of treatment the percentages of reduction were 34.10% and 42.02% at the doses of 75 and 150 mg/kg respectively. Oral administration of the plant extract for 28 days showed a significant improvement in lipid profile and a significant reduction of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Treatment with the plant extract significantly provoked a reduction of aorta, liver and kidney malondialdehyde, and induced a significant improvement in reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase activity when compared with diabetic control. Blood pressure measurement revealed that, at all doses (75 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg), the plant extract prevented (15.33% and 15.39% of reduction) the rise in mean blood pressure observed in diabetic control rats. These results suggest that ethyl acetate extract of T. superba lowers blood glucose and hyperlipidemia, prevents oxidative stress and reduces blood pressure in diabetic conditions, thus justify its traditional use for the management of diabetes and hypertension.

The transparent gel of Aloe vera has been used as a nutritional supplement and herbal remedy for centuries. It is claimed to have several therapeutic properties but there is little scientific evidence of its effectiveness and safety. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of GNLD’s Aloe vera plus on the liver of rats. Eighty apparently healthy, adult Wistar albino rats were divided into five groups, three of which given three different doses of Aloe vera plus twice a day for 14, 28 and 42 days. One of the groups served as control and another was given Aloe vera plus for 28 days, following which the drug was withdrawn for another 28 days. The animals were sacrificed at the end of the experiment. Blood samples and the livers were collected for liver enzyme estimation and histopathological analysis. We found a significant elevation of all the liver enzymes after 14 and 28 days of administration of Aloe vera plus and upon withdrawal of the drug for 28 days, the enzyme levels returned to normal values. The histopathological analysis revealed a number of toxic effects, including portal triditis, myxoid degeneration, intracytoplasmic vacuolization , intraparenchymal haemorrhage and hepatic necrosis. Aloe vera plus caused a time- but not dose-dependent hepatotoxicity which recommends the need for more stringent regulation by food and drug regulatory authorities to ascertain its effectiveness and safety. Keywords: GNLD, Aloe vera plus, pharmacovigilance, Liver enzymes, Histopathology, Rats
几个世纪以来,芦荟的透明凝胶一直被用作营养补充剂和草药。据说它有几种治疗特性,但几乎没有科学证据证明它的有效性和安全性。本研究旨在探讨GNLD芦荟提取物对大鼠肝脏的影响。80只看似健康的成年Wistar白化大鼠被分为五组,其中三组给予三种不同剂量的芦荟,每天两次,持续14天、28天和42天。其中一组作为对照,另一组服用芦荟加28天,之后再停药28天。实验结束时,动物被处死。采集血液和肝脏进行肝酶测定和组织病理学分析。我们发现,在服用芦荟14天和28天后,所有肝酶都显著升高,停药28天后,酶水平恢复到正常水平。组织病理学分析显示了许多毒性作用,包括门脉炎、粘液样变性、胞浆内空泡化、肝实质内出血和肝坏死。芦荟引起的肝毒性是时间依赖性的,但不是剂量依赖性的,这表明食品和药物监管当局需要更严格的监管,以确定其有效性和安全性。关键词:GNLD,芦荟,药物警戒,肝酶,组织病理学,大鼠
