Abstract

Background and Aims

Mosapride citrate is known to affect gastric motility. However, whether mosapride citrate has any effect on visceral pain in the colon or rectum is not certain. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of mosapride citrate on visceral pain in a rat visceral hypersensitivity model.

Methods

The perception of visceral pain was evaluated by the visceromotor response to colorectal distension observed on electromyographs of the abdominal musculature in urethane-anesthetized rats. Visceral hypersensitivity was induced by the intrarectal instillation of 4% acetic acid or 1.5% zymosan. Mosapride citrate was administered intraperitoneally 3 h later. VMRs to CRD were recorded prior to the instillation of acetic acid or zymosan and before and after mosapride citrate treatment.

Results

The intracolonic instillation of acetic acid resulted in a significant increase in VMRs of the abdominal muscles to CRD, compared with the pretreatment state (174 ± 24%, P < 0.05). The intracolonic instillation of zymosan resulted in a significant increase in VMRs of the abdominal muscles to CRD, compared with the pretreatment state (144 ± 9%, P < 0.05). Intraperitoneal injection of mosapride citrate resulted in a significant reduction in the VMRs to CRD in an acetic acid-induced visceral hypersensitivity rat model (61 ± 9%, P < 0.05). The intraperitoneal injection of mosapride citrate also resulted in a significant reduction in the VMRs to CRD in a zymosan-induced visceral hypersensitivity rat model (67 ± 9%, P < 0.05).

Conclusions

Mosapride citrate diminished visceral pain in rats.

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
