Different magnitude of resistance to non-depolarizing muscle relaxants in dexamethasone-treated rat diaphragm associated with altered acetylcholine receptor expression.
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of chronic dexamethasone (Dex) administration on rat diaphragm sensitivity to non-depolarizing muscle relaxants (NDMRs) and muscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) expression, which may help direct future administration of NDMRs. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to receive a daily intraperitoneal injection of Dex (60...
متن کاملChanges in resistance to mouth opening induced by depolarizing and non-depolarizing neuromuscular relaxants.
Mouth opening was measured in 43 children anaesthetized with isoflurane and paralysed with vecuronium or suxamethonium. Measurements of mouth opening were made for up to 10 min after loss of the adductor pollicis twitch and cessation of muscle fasciculations. In 22 patients receiving suxamethonium, a significant (P less than 0.001) reduction in mean mouth opening occurred in the 60 s after loss...
متن کاملDexamethasone‑induced hyposensitivity to rocuronium in rat diaphragm associated with muscle‑fiber transformation.
The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of chronic dexamethasone (Dex) administration on rat diaphragm function and sensitivity to rocuronium and muscle‑fiber transformation. Adult male Sprague‑Dawley rats were randomized to receive a daily intraperitoneal injection of Dex to evaluate whether alterations in diaphragm function and susceptibility to rocuronium would be induced....
متن کاملDenervation supersensitivity: the response to depolarizing muscle relaxants.
The chemical theory of neuromuscular transmission (Dale, Feldberg and Vogt, 1936) is now almost universally accepted, and implicates acetylcholine as the neuromuscular transmitter. Depolarizing muscle relaxants act, at least initially, in a manner similar to acetylcholine and are believed to produce their effects by prolonged depolarization, but in certain situations these agents, instead of pr...
متن کاملAltered Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in Glioma
EGFR is a key molecule in cancer cells. EGFR signaling was shown to promote tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and angiogenesis and mediate resistance to treatment, including ionizing radiation in preclinical models. We extracted proteins from astrocytoma (III and IV) oligodendroglioma(IV) tumors and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test ...
