Design, synthesis, and negative inotropic evaluation of 4-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one derivatives containing triazole or piperazine moieties

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοΘεραπείαΠριν από 3 δευτερόλεπτα

Abstract In the present study, four novel series of 4-phenyl-1*H*-1,2,4-triazol-5(4 *H*)-one derivatives containing triazole or piperazine moieties were designed, synthesized and evaluated for negative inotropic activity by measuring the left atrium stroke volume in isolated rabbit heart preparations. Almost all of the compounds showed an ability to moderate the cardiac workload by decreasing the heart rate and contractility. Among them, *7h* was found to be the most potent with a change in stroke volume of −48.22 ± 0.36% at a concentration of 3×10−5 mol/L (metoprolol: −9.74 ± 0.14... περισσότερα »

Abstract The number of people affected by neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease is rapidly increasing owing to the global increase in life expectancy. Small molecules with neurotrophic effects have great potential for management of these neurological disorders. In this study, different (C1-C12) alkyl ester derivatives of hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs) were synthesized (a total of 30 compounds). The neurotrophic capacity of the test compounds was examined by measuring promotion of survival in serum-deprived conditions and enhancement of nerve ... περισσότερα »

The woman was diagnosed with mucosal carcinoma of the right oral cavity. During reconstruction after segmental excision of the mandible, a titanium plate was selected based on several risk factors. After the operation, the plate became exposed at the center of the chin. A second surgery was deemed inappropriate because of her age, malnutrition, and recurrent aspira... περισσότερα »

Safety of Outpatient Isolated Orbital Floor Fracture Repair.

στοOtoRhinoLaryngology - Head and Neck SurgeryΠριν από 8 δευτερόλεπτα

Orbital fractures are common, accounting for nearly 40% of all facial fractures. Open repair is required to restore preinjury orbital volume and relieve any extra-ocular muscle entrapment. Monitoring for postoperative intraorbital hemorrhage, and its consequent potential for visual impairment, has triggered most surgeons to observe their patients in the hospital overnight postoperatively. The real risk of postoperative hemorrhage in this patient group, however, is uncertain and the need to contain healthcare costs clear. The objective of this study was thus to determine the incide... περισσότερα »

Idiopathic Orbital Inflammatory Pseudotumor With Bone Erosion.

στοOtoRhinoLaryngology - Head and Neck SurgeryΠριν από 8 δευτερόλεπτα

Purpose/Background: To report a rare patient with idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor showing obvious bone erosion of the orbital wall. Methods: Clinical features and imaging findings, orbital surgery, and histopathological examination are presented. Results: A 56-year-old Chinese man showed a gradually growing unilateral proptosis of the left eye for 6 months. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior segment, and fundi were normal in both eyes. Proptosis was 17 mm in the right eye and 23 mm in the left. No palpable mass was present on the left orbital rim. Ocular mot... περισσότερα »

Zigzag Temporal Incision With Preauricular Incision Extension as a Variant Approach to the Temporomandibular Joint.

στοOtoRhinoLaryngology - Head and Neck SurgeryΠριν από 8 δευτερόλεπτα

Surgical visibility of the joint is often compromised by the efforts to protect the facial nerve and its branches. Several approaches to the temporomandibular joint have been proposed over the years and perhaps the standard and most commonly used incision is the preauricular which is then extended with coronal incision to improve visibility and safety during surgery. The authors present a new modification based on the achievement of an aesthetically acceptable and inconspicuous scar in the temporal area. This is achieved by using a preauricular incision extended with a zigzag inci... περισσότερα »

Pneumocephalus Following Air Travel in a Patient With Preexisting Facial Fractures and Dural Tears.

Changes in cabin pressure can potentially cause expansion of any preexisting intracranial air resulting in tension pneumocephalus. The authors describe a 28-year-old man, who was involved in a motor vehicle accident complicated by multiple facial fractures and a dural tear while on his way to the airport. Instead of seeking medical attention after the accident, he proceeded with a 2-hour commercial flight. He did not suffer from any neurologic deterioration inflight, but upon presentation to our center, a computed tomography scan was done which revealed extensive pneumocephalus, f... περισσότερα »

Bone Healing Promotion by Negatively Charged Polysterene Microspheres.

στοOtoRhinoLaryngology - Head and Neck SurgeryΠριν από 8 δευτερόλεπτα

Bone healing under optimal conditions is fairly predictable. Yet when the healing process is disturbed by inadequate immobilization, inadequate blood supply, or scar tissue, little therapeutic alternatives to surgery exist. It appears that redistribution of electric charges along the bone during a callus consolidation promotes bone healing. It has been shown in the past that negatively charged polysterene spheres promote bone growth in animal models. In this preliminary report, we tested weather or not a commercial device of negatively charged polysterene spheres promotes bone heal... περισσότερα »

Plasma Fibrinogen in Patients With Bell Palsy.

στοOtoRhinoLaryngology - Head and Neck SurgeryΠριν από 8 δευτερόλεπτα

Objective: To determine the plasma fibrinogen level in patients with Bell palsy and explore the significances of it in Bell palsy. Methods: One hundred five consecutive patients with facial paralysis were divided into 3 groups: group I (Bell palsy), group II (temporal bone fractures), and group III (facial nerve schwannoma). In addition, 22 volunteers were defined as control group. Two milliliters fasting venous blood from elbow was collected, and was evaluated by CA-7000 Full-Automatic Coagulation Analyzer. Results: The plasma fibrinogen concentration was significantly higher in ... περισσότερα »
