Effect of Salt-Loading and Spontaneous Hypertension on in Vitro Metabolism of [1-14C]Linoleic and [2-14C]Dihomo-γ-linolenic Acids

1993

The present study compared the effect of spontaneous hypertension and salt-loading on in vitro metabolism of 18:2n-6 (linoleic acid) and 20:3n-6 (dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid). Ten weanling spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and 10 normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) maintained on a rodent lab chow were given tap water with (n = 5) or without (n = 5) addition of 1% NaCl for 4 weeks. Thereafter, animals were killed and liver microsomes were prepared. Aliquots of microsomes suspended in the phosphate-sucrose buffer containing MgCl2, ATP, CoA, and NADPH were incubated with 0.3 microCi of [1-14C]-18:2n-6 or [2-14C]-20:3n-6 at 37 degrees C for 15 min. The activity of delta 6- and delta 5-desa…

Immunohistochemical localization of cyclooxygenase isoforms in the organ of Corti and the spiral ganglion cells of guinea pig cochlea.

2003

Prostaglandins have been used in experimental models and clinical studies for the therapy of sudden hearing loss and tinnitus with conflicting results. However, little is known about the rate-limiting enzymes of prostaglandin synthesis in the inner ear, the generally constitutively expressed cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) and the distress-inducible cycloxygenase 2 (COX-2). To extend our knowledge concerning the physiological expression and localization of these two enzymes, immunohistochemical stainings of the guinea pig cochlea were performed. Light microscopical analysis revealed a homogenous distribution of COX-1 within nearly all cell types of the organ of Corti, but no COX-1 expression in th…

Pharmacological treatment of sensorineural hearing loss

2019

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a common and alarming symptom of about 360 million people that suffer from hearing impairment worldwide. The sudden sensorineural hearing loss usually arises unilaterally and it is habitually described as greater than 30dB hearing reduction, attributable to lesions of the cochlea, cranial nerve VIII, brainstem and temporal lobe. There are many factor that promote the onset of this lesions such us infections, circulatory diseases, inner ear neoplasia and neurological disorders. This pathology is characterized by primary symptoms such as the impairment of the comprehension of spoken language and the struggling to listen to music. Subsequently, secondary sy…

Questioni cronologico-attributive e tecnica compositiva del «Carmen de Hastingae proelio» di Guy d’Amiens

2018

In questo studio il «Carmen de Hastingae proelio» assegnato a Guy d’Amiens viene sottoposto a una lunga disamina, con la rassegna delle principali questioni cronologiche e attributive susseguitesi dalla prima metà dell’Ottocento ‚fino ai nostri giorni, l’analisi e la discussione dei più rilevanti problemi storico-letterari e interpretativi e, nella seconda e più ampia parte, l’esame di tre passi del poemetto a loro modo altamente significativi (il proemio, la geste di Taillefer e l’incoronazione di Guglielmo il Conquistatore). Tale disamina mira, in primo luogo, a rimettere in discussione un’impostazione e un livello di lettura dell’opera vòlti, in maniera preponderante se non esclusiva, a …

The efficacy and safety of unfixed and fixed combinations of latanoprost and other antiglaucoma medications.

2002

Adjunctive therapy for the management of glaucoma is commonly used. Unfixed combinations of the prostaglandin analog latanoprost and other glaucoma medications have been demonstrated to effectively lower intraocular pressure (IOP). The range of reported additional reductions in IOP compared to a monotherapy baseline are as follows: latanoprost-timolol (13-37%), latanoprost-pilocarpine 2% (7-14%), latanoprost and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (15-24.1%), and latanoprost and dipivefrin (15-28%). There is a fixed combination of latanoprost (0.005%) and timolol (0.5%) that has been investigated in Phase III trials in Europe and the United States. In these trials, it was noted that the efficacy …

Update on topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

2001

Topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are a novel addition to the armamentarium of medical glaucoma treatment; dorzolamide has been available since 1995 and brinzolamide since 1998. They lower intraocular pressure by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase, a key enzyme for aqueous humor formation. Intraocular pressure-lowering activity of the substances appears to be the same and is similar to that of most other agents, but it does not reach the activity of the unselective beta-blocker timolol or the prostaglandin latanoprost. On concomitant treatment, additivity is reached with all other topical agents. A possible improvement of blood flow may offer an additional benefit, but its significance for t…

Efficacy and safety of tafluprost 0.0015% and timolol maleate 0.5% fixed combination in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.

2014

Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) is at present the only therapeutic approach to the treatment of glaucoma proven to be successful. The choice of therapy must take into account efficacy, tolerability, safety, quality of life, adherence and cost. Monotherapy fails to achieve a satisfactory IOP reduction in 40 - 75% of glaucoma patients after2 years of therapy. So far, three prostaglandin/timolol maleate 0.5% fixed combinations (FCs) are available.This review provides a background on the tafluprost-timolol FC (TTFC, Santen Oy) and its individual compounds. It summarizes the data on efficacy and safety, including comparative data with prostaglandin/timolol FCs already available.Tafluprost is…
