چکیده

The characteristics of the neuromuscular block produced by streptomycin in vivo were studied on the sciatic-tibialis anterior nerve-muscle preparation of eight anaesthetized cats. The lungs of the animals were ventilated mechanically and normocarbia was maintained. During acute exposure to streptomycin (within 2 h), ED50 for blockade of the twitch was 56 (SEM +/- 5) mg kg-1 of the base. The characteristics of block were similar to those of neomycin-induced block in some aspects. There was absence of train-of-four fade and tetanic fade, partial sparing of the responses elicited at 10 Hz and 20 Hz, and total sparing of the 50 Hz tetanus, as well as the post-tetanic twitch. In contrast to neomycin-induced neuromuscular block, however, post-tetanic exhaustion was not observed and prolonged exposure to streptomycin (22-28 h) did not change the characteristics of the block. We conclude that, despite their chemical similarities, streptomycin and neomycin block neuromuscular transmission differently.

Phospholipids of guinea-pig inner ear tissues were labelled in vivo by perilymphatic perfusion of the cochlea with [32P]orthophosphate or my~-[~H]inositol. After 2 W 0 min the most highly labelled 32P-lipids were phosphatidylinositol phosphate and diphosphate. Incorporation of [3H]inositol proceeded in the order phosphatidylinositol > phosphatidylinositol phosphate > phosphatidylinositol diphos...
