A new series of N‐(benzoylphenyl) and N‐(acetylphenyl)‐1‐benzofuran‐2‐carboxamides ( 3a – 3d and 4a ′– 4c ′) were synthesized. Compounds ( 3a , 3b , and 4a ′– 4c ′) were tested in vivo using Triton‐WR‐1339‐induced hyperlipidemic rats as an experimental model for their hypolipidemic activity. The tested animals were divided into eight groups: control, hyperlipidemic, 3a , 3b , 4a ′, 4b ′, 4c ′, and bezafibrate. At a dose of 15 mg/kg, the elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) levels were significantly reduced in compounds 3b (p <0.0001) and 4c ′ (p <0.05) after 12 and 24 h compared to the normal control group. Furthermore, high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol levels were remarkably increased in compounds 3b (p <0.001) and 4c ′ (p <0.05). Meanwhile, compound 4b ′ slightly reduced the TG levels after 12 and 24 h. The present study demonstrated new properties of the novel series of benzofuran‐2‐carboxamides 3b and 4c ′ as potent lipid‐lowering agents. It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that compounds 3b and 4c ′ may have a promising potential in the treatment of hyperlipidemia and coronary heart diseases. 相似文献

The antiarrhythmic effect of an oral 3-week-pretreatment with oligomer procyanidins derived from Vitis vinifera was investigated on the isolated perfused heart after global no-flow ischemia (procyanidin-treated group: n = 9, control group: n = 13). Hearts were perfused with a modified Krebs-Henseleit solution in which the K+ content was reduced to 3.0 mmol/l in order to lower the fibrillation threshold. Monophasic action potentials in addition to ECG were recorded. The durations of ischemia and reperfusion were 20 and 30 min, respectively. Arrhythmias including ventricular fibrillation (VF), ventricular tachycardia (VT), flutter (Fl) and bradycardia were evaluated. During the reperfusion, irreversible VF occurred in most of control hearts. The incidence of VF (percentage of the hearts in which VF occurred) was lowered by oligomer procyanidins from 84.6 to 55.6 %, and the duration of the episodes of VF (expressed as percentage relative to the total duration) was significantly shortened from 76.1 +/- 27.9 % to 36.6 +/- 40.6 % (p = 0.036). Simultaneously, the percentage of duration of normal sinus rhythm (NSR) increased from 19.5 +/- 30.3 % to 46.2 +/- 35.9 % (n.s.). VF occuring in the procyanidin-treated hearts could be reversed in two hearts within few minutes to a stage of "reversible arrhythmias" consisting of short episodes (1 to 60 s) of either Fl or VT or bradycardia or NSR alternating with each other. LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) release in the first drops appearing from the reperfused heart was significantly reduced in the procyanidin-treated rats (66.7 +/- 36.2 mU/min, n = 8) in comparison to controls (159.7 +/- 79.0 mU/min, n = 10; p = 0.010). These results demonstrate an antiarrhythmic and cytoprotective effect of oral pretreatment with oligomer procyanidins under the given experimental conditions. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Sedation rates may vary among countries, depending on patients' and endoscopists' preferences. The aim of this survey was to investigate the rate of using premedication for routine diagnostic upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy in endoscopy societies, members of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). METHODS: We evaluated a multiple-choice questionnaire which was e-mailed to representatives of national endoscopy societies, which are members of the ESGE. The questionnaire had 14 items referring to endoscopy practices in each country and the representatives' endoscopy units. RESULTS: The response rate was 76% (34/45). In 47% of the countries, less than 25% of patients undergo routine diagnostic UGI endoscopy with conscious sedation. In 62% of the responders' endoscopy units, patients are not asked their preference for sedation and do not sign a consent form (59%). Common sedatives in use are midazolam (82%), diazepam (38%) or propofol (47%). Monitoring equipment is not available 'in most of the endoscopy units' in 46% (13/28) of the countries. Though they were available in 91% of the national representatives' endoscopy units, they are rarely (21%) used to monitor unsedated routine diagnostic UGI endoscopy. CONCLUSIONS: In about 50% of ESGE-related countries, less than 25% of patients are sedated for routine diagnostic UGI endoscopy. Major issues to improve include availability of monitoring equipment and the use of a consent form. 相似文献

We investigated reported policies and practices of normal delivery in Jordanian hospitals to assess whether these practices are evidence-based and whether women are given choices in delivery. Staff at a nationally representative sample of 30 hospitals were interviewed using a semistructured questionnaire. The surveyed hospitals were found to be well equipped to deal with obstetric emergencies, and many follow evidence-based procedures. The internal evaluation system, however, typically is based on team feedback, and 20 percent of hospitals reported having no internal evaluation procedure. Some unnecessary procedures, including pubic shaving and enemas, are frequently practiced. Women are restricted in their movement during labor, and the lithotomy position is usually adopted for delivery; the majority of hospitals report strapping women in the delivery position. Most hospitals do not allow social support during labor and delivery. Measures are needed to encourage the best evidence-based practices regarding normal childbirth, including better evaluation. Jordanian women need much more information about their delivery options so that they can exercise their preferences wherever possible. 相似文献

Background
Electronic prescribing is increasingly being used in primary care and in hospitals. Studies on the effects of e-prescribing systems have found evidence for both benefit and harm. The aim of this study was to identify features of e-prescribing software systems that support patient safety and quality of care and that are useful to the clinician and the patient, with a focus on improving the quality use of medicines. 相似文献8.

Histamine acid phosphate (HAP) solutions are used in tests for asthma and also as positive controls in general allergenic testing. Previously these solutions have been sterilized, if at all, by filtration, thus limiting the shelf-life of the preparation and introducing some degree of uncertainty in their use. It is shown here that HAP solutions can be sterilized successfully by heating in an autoclave with little degradation and that subsequent storage of autoclaved solutions indicates a minimum shelf-life of 4 months. 相似文献

Would you prescribe a drug without regulatory approval, for which the safety and efficacy are unknown? Unlikely. Would you use a clinical practice guideline that is not endorsed by a peak body, with no accessible evidence for its recommendations and with its authorship unknown? Unlikely. Do you currently use decision support tools in your prescribing software that have not been evaluated or accredited, with unknown or variable quality and reliability? Very likely. 相似文献

Protective effect of Crataegus oxyacantha against reperfusion arrhythmias after global no-flow ischemia in the rat heart 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The protective effect against reperfusion arrhythmias of a 3-month oral pretreatment with a dried extract of Crataegus oxyacantha (LI 132) (standardized to 2.2 % flavonoids) was studied with the Langendorff heart of the rat after global no-flow ischemia.
The heart was perfused with a modified Krebs-Henseleit solution in which the K+ content was reduced to 3.4 mmol/l in order to lower the fibrillation threshold. According to pilot experiments which considered
various durations of global no-flow ischemia ranging from 10 to 20 minutes, two durations were chosen for the present study:
20 minutes (group 20) in which ventricular fibrillation (VF) was the predominant form of arrhythmias, and 18 minutes (group
18) in which the prevalence of VF was markedly lower despite the small difference in the duration of ischemia.
Crataegus pretreatment significantly (p = 0.02) reduced the average prevalence of malignant arrhythmias (VF + Flutter) as
observed during the 20-min-period of reperfusion as follows:
– group 20: from 89% (control, n = 9) to 51% (LI 132, n = 7),
– group 18: from 48% (control, n = 8) to 8% (LI, 132, n = 8).
In group 20, ventricular tachycardia (VT) could be observed only in the treated group, because of the predominance of VF in
the control group. LI 132 pretreatment reduced the average prevalence of VT in group 18 in spite of the identical percentage
of occurrence (6 out of 8 rats, with and without treatment) due to a shorter duration of the VT episodes.
Thus, under the conditions of our experiments, effective prevention against reperfusion arrhythmias by Crataegus pretreatment
was evident.
