HP 818: A centrally acting analgesic with neuroleptic properties

HP 818 (1-benzoyl-6-fluoro-3-(1-methyl-4-piperidinyl)-1H-indazole) exhibits the profile of a potent nonnarcotic analgesic with neuroleptic properties. HP 818 blocks the effects of chemical (phenylquinone), pressure (tail clip), and radiant heat (tail flick) painful stimuli in mice (ED₅₀ values of 0.3, 1.2, and 4.1 mg/kg s.c., respectively). This compound displays antinociceptive activity by the subcutaneous, oral, and intravenous routes of administration. It is also effective in the shock titration assay in squirrel monkeys and in a model of surgically induced pain. The rank order of potency of HP 818 and several other standard compounds in these tests for analgesia was Innovar > fentanyl > HP 818 > codeine > droperidol. In addition to its antinociceptive effects, HP 818 possesses neuroleptic properties. It is active in the climbing mouse, pole climb avoidance, and intracranial self-stimulation assays (ED₅₀ values of 1.8, 1.7, and 2.5 mg/kg i.p., respectively). Moreover, HP 818 inhibits amphetamine- and apomorphine-induced stereotypy, indicative of D₂-dopaminergic blocking properties. HP 818, unlike typical neuroleptic agents, does not induce supersensitivity to the effects of apomorphine when administered chronically in mice. In contrast to the clinical standard neuroleptanalgesic Innovar, HP 818 (1.0–3.0 mg/kg i.v.) produces no significant cardiovascular or respiratory changes in the anesthetized dog. Thus, HP 818 is potentially an effective presurgical medication due to its nonnarcotic analgesic activity and sedative neuroleptic effects, along with its lack of limiting cardiorespiratory side effects.     

电针改善硬膜外吗啡用于术后镇痛所引起的免疫抑制

为观察硬膜外吗啡和电针对术后患者免疫功能的影响，检测自然杀伤细胞（ＮＫｃｅｌｌ）活性和ＰＨＡ诱导白细胞介素２（ＩＬ－２）水平在单纯胆囊切除术患者术前和术后第１、３、７天的动态变化情况。结果吗啡组ＮＫ活性在术后第１、３、７天抑制，手术组仅在术后第１、３天出现抑制，而抑制率低于同天的吗啡组，电针可拮抗吗啡引起的ＮＫ活性抑制加深状况。在术后第１天，手术组和吗啡组ＩＬ－２水平均下降，吗啡＋电针组无明显变化，术后第７天吗啡＋电针组ＩＬ－２升高接近正常人水平。表明电针能改善硬膜外吗啡引起的免疫抑制，促进术后机体的恢复。硬膜外吗啡结合电针是值得推荐的术后镇痛方法。

A retrospective study on the use of oral morphine in cancer pain

The authors report a retrospective study of 390 cancer pain patients tested with oral morphine during a four-month period. Initial pain scores were reduced to one half after one week of treatment and then maintained throughout the study period. Mean daily dosages of morphine were lower in those patients 65 years and older. No significant changes in performance in relation to therapy were noted except for an increase in hours of sleep. An accurate titration of dosage and continued control of side effects are the main requirements of this method of administration. The presence of side effects and the cause of interruption of treatment are reported.     

Diclofenac and oxycodone in treatment of postoperative pain: a double-blind trial

The effects of a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor (diclofenac, Voltaren) and an opiate (oxycodone, Oxanest) on postoperative pain were compared. Included in the study were 85 candidates for various operations. Patients requesting an analgesic were given either 75 mg of diclofenac or 10 mg of oxycodone as an intramuscular injection. The onset of analgesic effect occurred within 13 +/- 4 min with oxycodone and within 16 +/- 8 min with diclofenac. The analgesic effect of diclofenac was slightly weaker than that of oxycodone (on a pain scale of 1-4, 1.6/2.1 after 0.5 h and 1.5/1.8 after 1 h). The patients again asked for an analgesic after an average of 4.6 h in the oxycodone group and after an average of 6.1 h in the diclofenac group. The average number of injections required until the first postoperative morning was 2.5 in the oxycodone group and 1.8 in the diclofenac group. Side-effects: 21 patients in the oxycodone group reported a total of 39 side-effects and eight patients in the diclofenac group a total of 10 side-effects. Diclofenac is an alternative to opiates in the management of postoperative pain. It is especially useful in patients in whom opiates cause side-effects.     

The CT criteria for conservative treatment — but under close clinical observation — of posterior fossa epidural haematomas

Summary In order to assess whether the indications for conservative treatment of supratentorial epidural haematomas are applicable also to posterior fossa epidural haematomas (PFEDH), the author reviewed the records of 25 patients. With a PFEDH volume of no more than 10 ml, a thickness of no more than 15 mm, a midline shift of no more than 5 mm, and in the absence of a significant intracranial haematoma elsewhere on computed tomography (CT) scans, the patients undergoing conservative treatment achieved the same excellent outcome as those undergoing early surgery. These CT criteria for conservative treatment of PFEDHs are similar to those of supratentorial epidural haematomas except the volume factor, namely, 10 ml in the former against 30 ml in the latter. That means a PFEDH of 10 ml or larger in the small posterior fossa may produce the same degree of midline shift and compression, and be as dangerous as an epidural haematoma of 30 ml or larger in the more capacious supratentorial compartment. But also for epidural haematomas of the posterior fossa, which initially are smaller than 10 ml, the general rule remains valid that they should be under close clinical supervision     

Experimental study of spinal cord compression by epidural tumors using electron probe X-ray microanalysis and confocal laser scanning microscopy

Changes in the nerve fibers of the spinal cord were studied in rat experimental epidural tumor models. Light microscopy showed demyelinization in all with rats paraparesis and paraplegia. Cross-sectional views of nerve fibers stained with 3,3dipentyloxacarbo-cyanine iodide, obtained by confocal laser scanning microscopy, showed distorted, shrunken fibers with a low fluorescence intensity. Changes in the electrolyte contents of nerve fibers were studied by electron probe X-ray microanalysis. The K concentration in axons and the myelin sheath was increased in the paraparesis group, but was decreased in the paraplegia group. These findings suggest that, in the paraparesis group, compression of the spinal cord damaged cell membrane channels, which subsequently caused an increase in intracellular K, a decline in the action potential, and low-intensity fluorescence of nerve fibers. On the other hand, in the paraplegia group, destruction of cell membranes caused a decrease in intracellular K until it approached the extracellular level. This reduced both the action potential and the fluorescence intensity. As Ca and Mg concentrations in both axons and the myelin sheath increased in relation to the severity of neurologic damage, it appears that these electrolytes may also play an important role in damage to nerve fibers.
