The local anesthetic properties of tetrodotoxin, a potent naturally occurring sodium channel blocker, have been recently reexamined. It was found that sciatic nerve block duration could be greatly increased and systemic toxicity greatly decreased if epinephrine was injected with tetrodotoxin. The mechanism that underlies epinephrine-mediated prolongation of tetrodotoxin nerve blocks is not known, but indirect evidence suggests that epinephrine may slow the clearance of tetrodotoxin from the site of injection. The authors hypothesized that tetrodotoxin causes vasodilatation at its injection site, which accelerates its systemic uptake, and that this vasodilatation is attenuated by coinjected epinephrine.', 'The radiolabeled microsphere technique was used to measure tissue blood flow in anesthetized rats before and after perisciatic injection of tetrodotoxin alone and in combination with epinephrine.', 'Tetrodotoxin, in a dose of 0.1 ml of a 60 microM solution, significantly increased blood flow in perisciatic muscle at the injected side compared with simultaneous contralateral control and ipsilateral preinjection baseline. Tetrodotoxin did not increase blood flow in the sciatic nerve. Coinjection of epinephrine with tetrodotoxin prevented tetrodotoxin-induced increases in perisciatic muscle blood flow over time and did not alter sciatic nerve blood flow. Arterial blood pressure was maintained with this dose of tetrodotoxin, although brain blood flow decreased. Coinjection of epinephrine with tetrodotoxin prevented decreases in brain blood flow. Higher doses of tetrodotoxin produced hypotension.

Does epinephrine prevent muscle blood flow increases after perineural injection of tetrodotoxin?

The genus Fusarium comprises a heterogeneous group of fungi important for agriculture. Fusarium solani f. sp. eumartii (F. eumartii), historically considered to be a fungal pathogen of potato, has also been associated with tomato disease. Currently, chitosan and its derivatives have been receiving more attention as environmentally friendly antimicrobial compounds in sustainable practices. The aim of the present work was to characterize downstream events associated with the mode of action of chitosan, including nitrosative reactive species, in order to identify new biomarkers of its cytotoxic action.', 'Data indicated that chitosan-mediated nitric oxide (NO) production might lead to conidial death, concomitant with the strong reduction in fungal pathogenicity in tomato plants. Following chitosan applications, a notably dose-dependent reduction in conidial viability was demonstrated in F. eumartii. Thereafter, the infectivity of chitosan-treated spores was tested by a bioassay using tomato seedlings.

Is nitric-oxide-mediated cell death triggered by chitosan in Fusarium eumartii spores?

The main pathology of haemodialysis graft stenosis is venous neointimal hyperplasia at graft-venous anastomoses. Neointimal hyperplasia is also observed in cases of coronary artery in-stent restenosis. Paclitaxel is a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat cancer, and has been proven to inhibit neointimal hyperplasia of coronary artery in-stent restenosis. In this study, we examined whether a paclitaxel-coated haemodialysis graft could inhibit neointimal hyperplasia and prevent stenosis.', 'We dip-coated paclitaxel on expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts at a dose density of 0.59 microg/mm(2). In vitro release tests showed an initial paclitaxel burst followed by a long-term slow release. Using ePTFE grafts with (coated group, n = 8) or without a paclitaxel coating (control group, n = 11), we constructed arteriovenous (AV) grafts connecting the common carotid artery and the external jugular vein in Landrace pigs.', 'After excluding seven pigs for technical failure, cross-sections of graft-venous anastomoses obtained 6 weeks after placing the AV grafts were analysed. Percentage luminal stenosis, ratios of intima to media in whole cross-sections, areas of intima in the peri-junctional areas (within 2 mm above and 2 mm below the graft-venous junction), and the mean thickness of intima within venous sides of cross-sections, were 60.5% (range, 41.5-60.7), 13.0 (range, 8.6-20.4), 23.7 mm(2) (range, 10.8-32.1) and 2.1 mm (range, 1.1-3.0), respectively, in the control group, whereas corresponding median values in the coated group were 10.4% (range, 1.0-17.8), 1.0 (range, 0.7-5.1), 1.6 mm(2) (range, 0.2-8.0) and 0.3 mm (range, 0.1-2.2). All parameters were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05 by Mann-Whitney test).
