Investigation into mechanisms mediating the inhibitory effect of 1,4-benzodiazepines on mast cells by gene expression profiling.
2013
Abstract Aims This study aims to identify by a molecular genetic approach potential targets in mast cells at which 1,4-benzodiazepines may cause their inhibitory effect on mast cell activity. Main methods Gene expression analyses with microarray gene chip and/or quantitative PCR were performed using 1,4-benzodiazepine-treated human mast cell leukemia HMC-1.2 cells, promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells and human mast cells from healthy volunteers and patients with mast cell activation disease (MCAD). Pathway analysis was applied to search for enriched biological functions and canonical pathways within differentially regulated genes. Key findings Both neoplastic and normal human mast cells expr…
Standard additions-dilution method for absolute quantification in voltammetry of microparticles. Application for determining psychoactive 1,4-benzodi…
2013
A standard additions-dilution solid-state electrochemical method for the determination of psychoactive 1,4-benzodiazepine and antidepressants drugs used as adulterants in commercial slimming herbal formulations is described and compared with conventional standard addition method. The proposed method, based on the voltammetry of microparticles approach, permits quantify, via standard additions methodology, 1,4-benzodiazepine and antidepressants drugs in phytotherapeutic formulations with no need of sample dissolution using dilution with a reference electroactive compound. The method was used to measure 1,4-benzobenzodiazepines (clonazepam, flurazepam, alprazolam, midazolam, bromazepam, chlor…
Continuous neurophatic orofacial pain: a retrospective study of 23 cases
2016
Background To determine the clinical characteristics of Continuous Neuropathic Orofacial Pain in patients that suffer Persistent Idiopathic Facial Pain (PIFP), Painful Post-Traumatic Trigeminal Neuropathy (PPTTN) or Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) and to describe their treatment. Material and Methods A retrospective observational study was made, reviewing the clinical history of the patients diagnosed with Continuous Neuropathic Orofacial Pain between 2004 and 2011 at the Orofacial Pain Unit of the Master of Oral Surgery and Implantology of the University of Barcelona and at the Orofacial Pain Unit of the Teknon Medical Center of Barcelona. Results The average age of the patients with Continuo…
Petit-mal-Status bei Hyperthyreose
2008
A 68-year-old woman who, for the first time, had a generalized tonic-clonic seizure and persisting confusional state was found to have nodular enlargement of the thyroid and a tachycardic arrhythmia. Electroencephalography (EEG) demonstrated a continuous irregular polyspike wave pattern. Total T4 concentration was elevated to 23 micrograms/dl. Consecutive Administration of 250 mg phenytoin, 4 mg clonazepam and 7.5 mg midazolam changed neither the clinical nor the EEG findings. But after general intensive care measures and high-dose thyrostatic treatment (40 mg thiamazole intravenously every four hours) the clinical and neurological status became normal. Serial EEGs over the subsequent weeks…
