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.

難治性免疫性神経疾患患者に対し免疫吸着療法 (IAT) を施行し, その臨床的有用性を検討した.対象は慢性多発性根神経炎 (CIDP) 5例, ギランバレー症候群 (GBS) 1例で, CIDP症例についてはステロイド療法などの薬物治療に反応しないものとした. 血液浄化法は膜分離法による血漿吸着法とし, 吸着カラムにはポリビニールアルコールゲルにフェニルアラニンをリガンドとして固定した疎水性カラムを使用した. IATは症例により1-35回施行した. 全例で活動力低下, 異常知覚, 歩行障害などの自他覚症状の改善を認め, 握力検査においても筋力増強が確認された. IAT施行前後の血中蛋白分画の比較では免疫グロブリン分画の有意の減少がみられたが, アルブミンは不変であった. また, CIDP症例においてはIAT施行前, 全例に髄液蛋白濃度の増加がみられたが, IAT施行後はほとんどの症例で蛋白濃度の明らかな減少を認めた. 副作用としてIAT施行中の-過性の血圧低下と施行後の発熱を認めたが, いずれも重篤なものではなかった. 以上より, 本療法は難治性免疫性神経疾患に対し有用かつ安全に施行可能な治療法と思われた.

Pharmacokinetics and clinical effects of carvedilol in chronic hemodialysis patients with hypertension.

Shigehiro Miki; Hidemi Masumura; Yasuo Kaifu; Shigeo Ono; Masakazu Kanayama; Shigekazu Yuasa

血液透析を施行している高血圧を伴う慢性腎不全患者6例を対象にcarvedilolの有効性, 安全性および体内動態について検討した.透析時および非透析時におけるcarvedilol 10mg単回投与後の血漿中未変化体はいずれも投与1-5時間で最高濃度に達し, 以後徐々に代謝され24時間後にはほぼ消失した. 血圧は透析日および非透析日のいずれにおいてもcarvedilolの投与により緩徐に下降した. また, carvedilolの透析による体外除去は極めて少なく, 本薬の血中濃度への透析の影響はほとんどなかった.Carvedilol 10mg 1日1回4週間の連続投与により, 早朝服薬前の血漿中未変化体濃度の上昇はみられず, 本薬の蓄積性は認められなかった. 血圧は, 投与期間中良好にコントロールされ, 耐薬性もみられなかった. また, 心拍数は, いずれの時点においても有意な変化を示さなかった. 副作用および臨床検査値の異常は認められなかった.以上より, carvedilolは血液透析患者における血圧管理に有効かつ安全な降圧薬であると考えられた.
