چکیده

abstract introduction: in this study the role of pge2 as an important inflammatory mediator in indomethacine and theophylline effects on joint diameter and vascular response of chronically inflamed rat knee joint to saphenous nerve stimulation was investigated. methods: inflammation was induced by intraarticular injection of 0.2 ml freund,s complete adjuvant (fca) and 3, 7, 14, 21 days post injection knee joint diameter, blood flow changes to saphenous nerve stimulation and pge2 content of joint were assessed using micrometer, laser doppler flowmeter and enzyme immunoassay kit respectively. in another three groups, control and inflamed receiving indomethacin or theophylline also these variables determined. results: after inflammation induction in rat knee joint constrictory response of joint vessels to saphenous nerve stimulation reduced but joint diameter enhanced significantly. furthermore in inflamed rats received theophylline both vascular response of knee joint to nerve stimulation and joint diameter decreased however, daily reception of indomethacine had no effect on joint edema but increased constrictory response of joint vessels to nerve stimulation. furthermore pge2 content increased in inflamed knee joint in comparison with control (uninflamed) during two weeks but in rats receiving indomethacine it reduced significantly on days 3, 14. also in inflamed rats treated by theophylline pge2 content was significantly decreased only in day 14. conclusion: in chronic inflammation pge2 as an inflammatory mediator play an important role in edema and modulation of constrictory response of joint vessels to nerve stimulation. furthermore antiedematotic effect of theophylline also may be mediated by pge2 through decrement of vascular permeability.

Investigation of Response to Angiotensin (Ang ) and its Receptor Subtypes in Acutely Inflamed Joint Blood Vessels in Rabbit

Introduction: Inflammatory joint diseases are common in elderly, and regulation of joint blood flow (JBF) is important in these conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the response of inflamed joint blood vessels to angiotensin (Ang ), a vasoconstrictor factor which has been shown to be produced in inflamed joints locally. Identification of Ang receptor subtypes in joint blood ve...

Role of Angiotensin II in Reactive Oxygen Species Production and Modulatory Role of Nitric Oxide (NO) in Vessel Responses to AngII in Acute Joint Inflammation in the Rabbit

Introduction: It has been approved that in most tissues NO production increases during acute inflammation and Angiotensin II has a role in production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). As regulation of joint blood flow (JBF) is important in this situation, this study was performed to investigate the interaction of local Ang II and ROS production and the modulatory role of NO on regulation of JBF...

Alterations in the vascular β-adrenoceptors of the rabbit knee joint due to acute inflammation

  It has been shown that acute inflammation reduces the effectiveness of sympathetic nerves in the regulation of knee joint blood flow. To investigate the role of vascular β- adrenoceptors in this event, 12 NZW rabbits were maintained anaesthetized by 1 % halothane in N2O/O2, and acute knee joint inflammation was induced by intra-articular injection of 1 ml of 2% carageenan solution 24 hours be...

The Effect of Chronic Inflammation on Knee Joint Vascular β-adrenoceptors in Rabbit

It has been shown that inflammation reduces the effectiveness of sympathetic nerves in the regulation of knee joint blood flow, and the joint vascular- ß adrenoceptors are changed due to acute inflammation from a majority of ß-1 to an equality of ß-1 and ß-2 receptors.. To investigate the role of sympathetic nerves in nerve induced vasoconstriction and changes in joint vascular ß-adrenoceptors ...

Effect of Angiotensin II on Blood Flow in Acute and Chronically Inflamed Knee Joints of Rabbits: The Role of Nitric Oxide

Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) upregulation in stromal cells of joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis may lead to higher tissue angiotensin II that is a vasoconstrictor and mitogen factor. To date, the role of angiotensin II on regulating blood flow in inflamed joints has not been studied. Methods: Acute and chronic joint inflammation was induced in rabbits by intra-articular...
