Effect of colchicine on the osmotic water flow across the toad urinary bladder

Osmotic water movement across the toad urinary bladder in response to both vasopressin and cyclic AMP was inhibited by 10(-5) to 10(-4) M colchicine on the serosal but not on the mucosal side. This inhibitory effect was found to be time- and dose-dependent. Colchicine alone did not change basal osmotic flow and a baseline of the short-circuit current (Isc) and also did not affect a vasopressin-induced rise of the Isc. The inhibitory effect was not prevented by the addition of pyruvate. The osmotic water movement produced by 360 mM Urea (mucosal), 360 mM mannitol (serosal) or 2 mug/ml amphotericin B (mucosal), was not affected by 10(-4) M colchicine. These results suggest that colchicine inhibits some biological process subsequent to the formation of cyclic AMP except a directional cytoplasmic streaming process where microtubules may be involved.

Abstract 1. PGE 1 alone induced no significant change in osmotic water flow, but stimulated the short-circuit current and inhibited vasopressin- and theophylline-induced osmotic flow across the urinary bladder of the toad, Bufo bufo japonicus . 2. The vasopressin-induced osmotic flow was also inhibited by PGE 2 , PGF 1 α , PGF 2 α , PGA 1 , PGA 2 , PGB 1 and PGB 2 . The potency of this effect was PGE ⩾ PGF > PGB > PGB, and 1 series > 2 series. 3. Among these prostaglandins PGE 1 exhibited the most striking stimulatory effect on the short-circuit current.

Abstract 1. The effects of nine representative diuretics on the short-circuit current and the hydroosmotic response to vasopressin were studied under the same conditions using the toad bladder. 2. On the basis of these effects from either the serosal or the mucosal side, the diuretics examined were classified into five groups. 3. Differences and similarities between the present results and those reported with the toad bladder and amphibian skin were also discussed.

薬物治療に抵抗する狭心症を合併した維持血液透析中の12例 (男8, 女4例, 平均年齢は56.3歳) に対する経皮的冠動脈形成術 (PTCA) の治療成績について検討した. 合計27狭窄病変に対してPTCAを施行し, 22狭窄病変 (82%) の拡張に成功した. 不成功例は2例で, そのうちの1例は小脳出血により死亡したが, 他の11例では重篤な合併症は出現しなかった. 患者成功は12例中10例 (83%) で, 非透析例と同等の治療成績であった. 11例の平均追跡期間は2年5か月で, 狭心症が4例に再発し, 3例には再度PTCAを施行し, 全例成功した. 透析患者に対する冠動脈バイパス術はいまだにhigh riskとされていることから, 透析患者の難治性狭心症に対しては, 解剖学的に禁忌・不適応でない限り, PTCAが第一選択と考えられた.

血液透析中に心電図上のST下降が認められたにもかかわらず, 冠動脈造影で有意狭窄病変 (70%狭窄以上) がなかった2症例を経験した. 症例1は28歳の女性で, 慢性腎炎による慢性腎不全で透析導入1年後に透析中の胸痛を主訴として入院した. 透析開始2時間後に胸痛が出現し, 心電図でST下降を示した. ニトログリセリンの舌下服用で胸痛が増悪した. 除水を中止し, 生理食塩水100mlを静注したところ, 胸痛が消失し, 心電図も正常化した. 冠動脈造影では有意狭窄が認められなかった. 症例2は49歳の男性で, 糖尿病性腎症のため血液透析を導入した. 透析開始2時間後に無症候性に心電図上ST下降が出現した. 透析中のST下降時に心筋シンチグラフィーを施行したところ, 左室前壁側に心筋虚血所見が検出されたため冠動脈造影を行った. しかし, 有意狭窄は認められなかった.症例1ではST下降時に胸痛を伴ったこと, 症例2ではST下降時の心筋シンチグラフィーで心筋虚血所見が認められたことから, これら2例の心電図ST下降は心筋虚血に起因すると考えられた. 冠動脈造影所見が正常であっても透析患者では貧血や左室肥大, また基礎疾患として高血圧, 糖尿病, 高脂血症, 腎不全に基づく心筋障害が存在するために透析中の血圧低下によって心筋虚血が生じることを示唆した.
