Long-term effects of lercanidipine on the lipoprotein and apolipoprotein profile of patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension

1999

Abstract The goal of this multicenter, randomized, double-masked, parallel- group study was to assess the effects of lercanidipine versus those of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) on the lipoprotein and apolipoprotein profile of patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension. After a 2-week washout period, 52 patients (age range, 18 to 70 years) were randomly allocated to receive lercanidipine 10 mg (n = 26) or HCTZ 12.5 mg (n = 26) once a day for 24 weeks. In nonresponding patients, the dose was increased to 20 or 30 mg of lercanidipine once a day and to 25 or 37.5 mg of HCTZ once a day, after 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. To assess long-term effects, patients receiving lercanidipine enter…

Cardiovascular effects of the methanol and dichloromethanol extracts fromTeucrium cartaginenses L.

1998

Methanol and dichloromethanol extracts of the leaves and stems of Teucrium cartaginensesL. have been tested for their effects on resting arterial blood pressure, heart rate and noradrenaline induced hypertension. Both extracts administered i.v. to urethane anaesthetized normotensive rats reduced mean arterial blood pressure and heart valve, while only the dichloromethanol extract prevented noradrenaline induced hypertension. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Development of a nomogram for the estimation of long-term adherence to clozapine therapy using neutrophil fluorescence

2018

Aims: Previously, we have reported an association between clozapine use and elevated FL3 neutrophil fluorescence, a flow-cytometric parameter for cell viability. Here, we developed and evaluated a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model relating FL3-fluorescence to clozapine exposure and derived a nomogram for estimation of long-term adherence. Methods: Data from 27 patients initiating clozapine were analysed using nonlinear mixed effects modelling. A previously described pharmacokinetic model for clozapine was coupled to a FL3 fluorescence model. For this, an effect compartment with clozapine concentrations as input and a first order decay rate as output was linked with an Emax model to FL3-…

Der Einfluss der Epiphyse auf die Lokomotionsaktivität bei Ratten

After pinealectomy adult hypoactive rats show an increased exploratory behavior, whereas adult hyperactive rats show no significant behavioral change. These data are discussed in relation to brain serotonin content.

Crystal Chemistry of CdIn2S4, MgIn2S4, and MnIn2S4 Thiospinels under High Pressure

2012

We report X-ray diffraction measurements in CdIn2S4, MgIn2S4, and MnIn2S4 thiospinels at room temperature and high pressures. The pressure dependences of the structural parameters have been determined and compared to those from theoretical calculations. It is found that the three thiospinels have similar bulk moduli (B-0) between 75 and 80 GPa (B-0' similar to 3). The degree of inversion of these thiospinels has also been determined. The three thiospinels undergo a phase transition toward a defect LiTiO2-type structure above 9.5, 8.3, and 6.8 GPa in CdIn2S4, MgIn2S4, and MnIn2S4, respectively. Interestingly, the low- and high-pressure phases belong to the same symmetry group (Fd-3m), the tr…

Low temperature measurements by infrared spectroscopy in $CoFe_2O_4$ ceramic

2012

In this paper results of new far-infrared and middle-infrared measurements (wavenumber range of 4000cm-1 - 100cm-1) in the range of the temperature from 300K to 8K of the CoFe2O4 ceramic are presented. The bands positions and their shapes are the same in the wide temperature range. The quality of the sample was investigated by X-ray, EDS and EPMA studies. The CoFe2O4 reveals the cubic structure (Fd-3m) in the temperature range from 85K to 360 K without any traces of distortion. On the current level of knowledge the polycrystalline CoFe2O4 does not exhibit phase transition in the temperature range from 8 K to 300 K.

Pressure-induced structural and semiconductor-semiconductor transitions in Co0.5Mg0.5Cr2O4

2018

The effect of pressure on the structural, vibrational, and electronic properties of Mg-doped Cr bearing spinel $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{o}}_{0.5}\mathrm{M}{\mathrm{g}}_{0.5}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{r}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ was studied up to 55 GPa at room-temperature using x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, electrical transport measurements, and ab initio calculations. We found that the ambient-pressure phase is cubic (spinel-type, $Fd\overline{3}m$) and underwent a pressure-induced structural transition to a tetragonal phase (space group $I\overline{4}m2$) above 28 GPa. The ab initio calculation confirmed this first-order phase transition. The resistivity of the sample decreased at low pressures …

Pressure-induced order–disorder transitions in β-In2S3: an experimental and theoretical study of structural and vibrational properties

2021

This joint experimental and theoretical study of the structural and vibrational properties of β-In2S3 upon compression shows that this tetragonal defect spinel undergoes two reversible pressure-induced order-disorder transitions up to 20 GPa. We propose that the first high-pressure phase above 5.0 GPa has the cubic defect spinel structure of α-In2S3 and the second high-pressure phase (ϕ-In2S3) above 10.5 GPa has a defect α-NaFeO2-type (R3m) structure. This phase, related to the NaCl structure, has not been previously observed in spinels under compression and is related to both the tetradymite structure of topological insulators and to the defect LiTiO2 phase observed at high pressure in oth…

Lattice dynamics of ZnAl2O4 and ZnGa2O4 under high pressure

2010

In this work we present a ¿rst-principles density functional study of the vibrational properties of ZnAl2 O4 and ZnGa2 O4 as function of hydrostatic pressure. Based on our previous structural characterization of these two compounds under pressure, herewith, we report the pressure dependence on both systems of the vibrational modes for the cubic spinel structure, for the CaFe2 O4-type structure (Pnma) in ZnAl2 O4 and for marokite (Pbcm) ZnGa2 O4. Additionally we report a second order phase transition in ZnGa2 O4 from the marokite towards the CaTi2 O4-type structure (Cmcm), for which we also calculate the pressure dependence of the vibrational modes at the ¿ point. Our calculations are comple…
