Effect of Landiolol Hydrochloride on Hemodynamics in a Histamine-Induced Shock Model.

Background And Objective: Anaphylactic shock is a serious adverse drug reaction that can occur in response to contrast media used during coronary computed tomography angiography. The imaging quality of coronary computed tomography angiography is improved by β-blockers, which decrease heart rate. In this study, we sought to analyze anaphylactic shock treatment in patients receiving short-acting β1-blockers.

Intermittent minodronic acid treatment with sufficient bone resorption inhibition prevents reduction in bone mass and strength in ovariectomized rats with established osteopenia comparable with daily treatment.

This study examined and compared the effects of four-week intermittent and daily administrations of minodronic acid, a highly potent nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, on bone mineral density (BMD), bone strength, bone turnover, and histomorphometry on established osteopenia in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Fourteen-week-old female F344 rats were OVX or sham-operated. At 12 weeks post surgery, minodronic acid was orally administered once every 4 weeks at 0.

The effect of continuous arterial infusion of gabexate mesilate (FOY-007) on experimental acute pancreatitis.

The effectiveness of continuous arterial infusion of Gabexate Mesilate (FOY-007) on experimental acute pancreatitis was investigated. Acute necrotizing pancreatitis was induced by an injection of 10% Na-taurocholate (1ml/kg) into the main pancreatic duct of mongrel dogs. Animals were divided into three groups; Group A: non-treated control, Group B: after the induction of pancreatitis, injected with FOY-007 intravenously (5mg/kg/hr), Group C: after the induction of pancreatitis, injected with FOY-007 via the celiac artery.
