The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipolytic potential of solutions used in the practice of cosmetic mesotherapy to stimulate lipolysis, cause local fat reduction and reduce the appearance of cellulite. The mesotherapy solutions were tested in a human fat cell assay using the fold induction of glycerol generation as a measure of lipolysis. The following mesotherapy solutions were tested:...

Combination of low-dose budesonide and low-dose aminophylline may improve lung function in reduced adverse effects compared with high-dose monotherapy. Adult rabbits intratracheally received 4 ml/kg of saline or meconium (25 mg/ml). Meconium-injured rabbits were treated at 0.5 and 2.5 h after meconium instillation by intravenous aminophylline (1.0 mg/kg), by intratracheal budesonide (0.125 mg/k...

OBJECTIVE This study is to evaluate the effects of aminophylline on systemic inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing valve replacement. METHODS Thirty patients undergoing elective valve replacement were randomized to receive either aminophylline treatment (aminophylline, n = 15) or no aminophylline (control, n = 15). Administration of aminophylline (5 mg/kg) ...

results seventy-five patients completed the study. compared to saline, patients who received 1 and 5 mg/kg of aminophylline demonstrated decreased extubation times (mean ± sd) (12.26 ± 7.33 vs. 11.15 ± 8.62 and 10.4 ± 4.78 min, respectively, p = 0.001) with higher bis values (p = 0.001). however, the recovery and discharge times from the pacu were no different between the aminophylline and sali...

Aminophylline and beta-adrenergic agonists are widely used in the treatment of obstructive lung diseases. It has been suggested that combined aminophylline and beta-agonist therapy may promote the development of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. The effects of these agents in combination on myocardial conduction and tissue refractoriness have not been documented. We evaluated the electrophysi...

We evaluated the effects of intravenous administration and five days of oral administration of aminophylline on hypoxic and hypercapnic ventilatory drives in seven normal men. Serum levels of theophylline were 13.2 micrograms/ml +/- 1.0 micrograms/ml (mean +/- SD) after intravenous administration of aminophylline and 8.8 micrograms/ml +/- 1.7 micrograms/ml after oral administration of aminophyl...

conclusions this study supports the preventative effects of aminophylline on apnea in extreme premature infants. in other words, the more premature an infant, the greater the preventative effect of aminophylline on the incidence of apnea and bradycardia. background a few studies have been carried on preventive drugs for apnea of preterm neonates. objectives this study aimed to assess the safety...

Experiments were performed to determine (1) whether intravenously administered aminophylline inhibits the coronary vasodilating effects of intravenous or intracoronary administration of dipyridamole or adenosine and (2) whether aminophylline locally administered in the coronary artery inhibits the vasodilating action of adenosine given intravenously or injected into the coronary artery. Coronar...

The Effect of Intracarotid Aminophylline Infusion on the Cerebral Circulation • The influence of aminophylline infusion into the internal carotid artery on cerebral blood flow (CBF) was studied in 12 patients. Six of them were studied using the N2O saturation technique of Kety and Schmidt, and the other six using the Xenon-133 intra-arterial injection method of Lassen and Ingvar. Intracarotid i...
