We investigated the effects of the neuropeptide met-enkephalin on histamine-induced bronhoconstriction in an experimental model of asthma. Classic Konzett and R?ssler's method of whole body plethysmography modified by Gjuris, was applied in the study. This method represents a standard experimental model of bronchoconstriction, suitable for the evaluation of peptide effects on the histamine-induced bronchoconstriction. The results of the measurements implicate a dose-related modulatory effect of met-enkephalin on the bronchoconstrictor action of histamine. Met-enkephalin doses of 1 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively, caused statistically significant reduction of the histamine-induced bronchoconstriction. Estimated ED50 dose was 0.235 mg/kg. Further studies are needed to define practical and therapeutical use of the presented observations in respiratory pharmacology. 相似文献

Cholinergic component of histamine-induced bronchoconstriction in newborn guinea pigs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The magnitude of parasympathetic reflex-mediated bronchoconstriction during histamine infusion was compared in anesthetized paralyzed newborn and adult guinea pigs. The animals were ventilated using a constant-flow ventilator, and the conductance and compliance of the respiratory system were continuously monitored. We found that reactivity to histamine infusion was less in newborns than in adults, because newborns required a larger dose of histamine than adults (300 vs. 125 ng.kg-1.s-1) to produce an equivalent decrease in conductance (42 +/- 13 vs. 42 +/- 15%). Vagal interruption by bilateral cervical vagotomy or muscarinic blockade with atropine (3 mg/kg) significantly reduced the bronchoconstrictor response to histamine in adults. By contrast, neither vagotomy nor atropine significantly changed this response in the newborns. These results indicate the lack of a vagal component in the bronchoconstriction that histamine induced in the newborns. Their relative unresponsiveness to histamine might partly be related to the fact that, in the newborn, histamine mainly acts directly via its airway receptors. 相似文献

The effects of tidal volume amplitude on bronchopulmonary reactivity were investigated in three groups of 14 anesthetized paralyzed mechanically ventilated guinea pigs. Animals of group 1 served as control; in animals of group 2, both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems were blocked; in animals of group 3, only the parasympathetic system was blocked. In each group, the animals were randomly divided into two subgroups characterized by their ventilatory pattern: rate of 60/min with a 6-ml/kg tidal volume or rate of 40/min with a 9-ml/kg tidal volume. Bronchopulmonary reactivity to infused histamine was assessed by the respiratory compliance and conductance values measured during bronchoconstriction and expressed as a percentage of the corresponding basal values. In group 1 the animals ventilated with a 9-ml/kg tidal volume were found significantly less reactive than those ventilated with a 6-ml/kg tidal volume. This difference was abolished in groups 2 and 3. These results demonstrate that the effects of increased tidal volume on bronchopulmonary reactivity are vagally mediated and suggest that the decrease observed in histamine-induced bronchoconstriction is mainly due to reflex effects evoked by stretch receptor stimulation. 相似文献

The effects of body temperature on histamine-induced bronchoconstriction were investigated in anesthetized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated guinea pigs. Four groups of guinea pigs were studied with constant body temperatures of 40, 38, 35, and 32 degrees C, respectively. Histamine was infused for 5 min at a rate of 50 ng.kg-1.s-1. Body cooling from 40 to 32 degrees C augmented the bronchomotor responses to histamine, which eventually rose almost fourfold. The enhancement of histamine-induced bronchoconstriction induced by body cooling was not suppressed by pretreating guinea pigs with 5 mg/kg hexamethonium or 5 mg/kg hexamethonium plus 3 mg/kg atropine; neither was the enhancement of histamine-induced bronchoconstriction suppressed in pithed guinea pigs, demonstrating that the autonomic nervous system is not involved in potentiating bronchoconstriction at low body temperatures. These results suggest that, at low body temperatures, increased airway responsiveness to histamine may be because of some direct effect of temperature on bronchial airway smooth muscle. 相似文献

Prolonged methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction in dogs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Studies in normal subjects have shown that there is little difference in the size of the closing volume when measured by either the nitrogen methods or a bolus method. In this study we have examined the changes in closing volume following histamine-induced bronchoconstriction. In five normal subjects histamine resulted in a reduction in the vital capacity, an increase in the residual volume, and an increase in the airway resistance. The size of the closing volume measured by a bolus method increased after induced bronchoconstriction (0.52 +/- 0.15 1 to 0.74 +/- 0.17 1). With the nitrogen method the closing volume became smaller (0.51 +/- 0.19 1 to 0.17 +/- 0.17 1). Similar differences between the two methods are demonstrated in patients with asthma. The suggested explanation for these differences lies in the different methods used to establish a concentration gradient of gas in the lung. If there is "air trapping" the nitrogen method may fail to establish a concentration gradient. 相似文献

We compared the effects of large-volume ventilation on airway responses to aerosolized histamine in anesthetized mongrel dogs with its effects in Basenji-Greyhound crossbred (B-G) dogs. Before bronchoconstriction, large inflations resulted in only small changes of dynamic compliance (Cdyn) and pulmonary resistance (RL) in both groups of dogs. After the induction of a moderate degree of bronchoconstriction with aerosolized histamine, large inflations had a more substantial effect; Cdyn increased by 7.5 +/- 2.3% (mean +/- SE; P less than 0.05), and RL decreased by 32 +/- 3.4% (P less than 0.001) in the mongrel dogs. In the B-G group, Cdyn increased by only 0.2 +/- 1.8% (NS), and RL increased by 29.3 +/- 9.2% (P less than 0.05); these changes differed significantly (P less than 0.05) from those observed in the mongrel dogs. Large-volume ventilation following the administration of indomethacin (10 mg/kg iv) and histamine increased Cdyn by 11.4 +/- 1.8% (NS vs. without indomethacin) and decreased RL by 43.9 +/- 3.4% (P less than 0.05) in the mongrel group. In the B-G group large-volume ventilation increased Cdyn by 7.6 +/- 1.7% (P less than 0.01) and decreased RL by 15.7 +/- 8.1% (P less than 0.05). Thus indomethacin enhanced the bronchodilator effects of large-volume ventilation in mongrel dogs and reversed the bronchoconstrictor effect of this maneuver on RL in B-G dogs. 相似文献

We reassessed the severity of cigarette smoke-induced bronchoconstriction and the mechanisms involved in anesthetized dogs. To evaluate the severity of smoke-induced bronchoconstriction, we measured airway pressure and airflow resistance (Rrs, forced oscillation method). We studied the mechanisms in other dogs by measuring airway pressure, central airway smooth muscle tone in tracheal segments in situ, and respiratory center drive by monitoring phrenic motor nerve output, including the role of vagal and extravagal nerves vs. the role of blood-borne materials during inhalation of cigarette smoke. Rrs increased more than fourfold with smoke from one cigarette delivered in two tidal volumes. About half the airway response was due to local effects of smoke in the lungs. The remainder was due to stimulation of the respiratory center, which activated vagal motor efferents to the airway smooth muscle. Of this central stimulation, about half was due to blood-borne materials and the rest to vagal pulmonary afferents from the lungs. We conclude that inhalation of cigarette smoke in dogs causes severe bronchoconstriction which is mediated mainly by extravagal mechanisms. 相似文献

Volume-controlled irreversible haemorrhagic shock in rats produced by blood withdrawal until stabilisation of critical mean arterial pressure (MAP) 20-25 mmHg is associated with an extreme decrease in cardiac index (CI) and an increase in total peripheral resistance index (TPRI), with reductions in renal (RBF), hindquarters (HBF) and mesenteric blood flow (MBF), and leads to the death of all control animals within 30 min. Histamine (100 nmol) injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) in the early phase of critical hypotension produces a prompt and long-lasting increase in MAP and heart rate, with a 100% survival for 2 h after treatment. The effects are associated with the rise in the circulating blood volume and CI, and the decrease in TPRI, with the increase in RBF and HBF, and persistently lowered MBF. Both splenectomy and ligation of the suprahepatic veins inhibit histamine-induced increase in circulating blood volume as well as cardiac and regional haemodynamic effects. It can be concluded that histamine administered icv activates central endogenous compensatory mechanisms, which leads to the reversal of haemorrhagic shock conditions due to the mobilisation of blood from venous reservoirs, the increase in circulating blood volume and its redistribution. Moreover, histamine evokes the rises in Cl and perfusion of the renal and skeletal muscle vascular regions. 相似文献

The activity of the muscarinic cholinergic system (acetylcholine, ACh; acetylcholinesterase, AChE; choline acetyltransferase, ChAT; muscarinic acetylcholine receptors) was studied in the carp brain. The ACh content (13.9 ± 1.1 nmol/g wet tissue) was estimated by gas chromatography after microwave irradiation focused to the head. The AChE and ChAT activities were 153 ± 13 nmol/min/mg protein and 817 ± 50 pmol/min/mg protein, respectively. The characteristics of [3H](−)quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H](−)QNB) and [3H]pirenzepine ([3H]PZ) binding were also studied in brain membranes. Their specific binding was linearly dependent on the protein content and they appeared to bind with high affinity to a single, saturable binding site. A dissociation constant (Kd) of 47 ± 6.3 pM and a maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) of 627 ± 65 fmol/mg protein were obtained for [3H](−)QNB, with a Kd value of 3.85 ± 0.67 nM and a Bmax value of 95.3 ± 6.25 fmol/mg protein for [3H]PZ binding. The [3H]PZ binding amounted to only 15% of the [3H](−)QNB-labeled sites, as estimated from the ratio of the Bmax values of [3H](−)QNB and [3H]PZ, suggesting a low density of M1 subtype. Atropine sulfate, atropine methylnitrate and PZ inhibited the binding of both radioligands with Hill slopes (nH) close to unity. The nH value of AF-DX 116 was close to 1 against [3H](−)QNB binding, while it was 0.75 against [3H]PZ binding. The displacement curves of oxotremorine and carbachol were shallow for the binding of both radioligands. The rank order of potency of muscarinic ligands against [3H](−)QNB binding (Ki nM) was atropine sulfate (0.55) > atropine methylnitrate (1.61) > PZ (61.19) > oxotremorine (156.3) > AF-DX 116 (307) > carbachol (1301), while in the case of [3H]PZ binding it was atropine sulfate (0.24) > atropine methylnitrate (0.34) > PZ (10.38) > AF-DX 116 (55.87) > oxotremorine (62.79) > carbachol (1696). The results indicate the presence of a well-developed muscarinic cholinergic system with predominantly M2 receptors in the carp brain. 相似文献

The maximal effect induced by methacholine (MCh) aerosols on pulmonary resistance (RL), and the effects of altering lung volume and O3 exposure on these induced changes in RL, was studied in five anesthetized and paralyzed dogs. RL was measured at functional residual capacity (FRC), and lung volumes above and below FRC, after exposure to MCh aerosols generated from solutions of 0.1-300 mg MCh/ml. The relative site of response was examined by magnifying parenchymal [RL with large tidal volume (VT) at fast frequency (RLLS)] or airway effects [RL with small VT at fast frequency (RLSF)]. Measurements were performed on dogs before and after 2 h of exposure to 3 ppm O3. MCh concentration-response curves for both RLLS and RLSF were sigmoid shaped. Alterations in mean lung volume did not alter RLLS; however, RLSF was larger below FRC than at higher lung volumes. Although O3 exposure resulted in small leftward shifts of the concentration-response curve for RLLS, the airway dominated index of RL (RLSF) was not altered by O3 exposure, nor was the maximal response using either index of RL. These data suggest O3 exposure does not affect MCh responses in conducting airways; rather, it affects responses of peripheral contractile elements to MCh, without changing their maximal response. 相似文献

When isolated constricted airway smooth muscle is oscillated, muscle tone decreases. We investigated whether changing tidal volume (VT) would affect induced bronchoconstriction in an in vivo canine model. Open-chest dogs were intubated with a double-lumen endotracheal tube, which isolated each main bronchus, and mechanically ventilated with a dual-cylinder ventilator. Bronchial pressure (Pbr) and flow were measured separately in each lung. Resistance and elastance were calculated by fitting the changes in Pbr, flow, and volume to the equation of motion. After baseline measurements at the same VT (150 ml), the two lungs were ventilated with different VT (50 vs. 250 ml) at a constant positive end-expiratory pressure. A continuous infusion of methacholine was begun, and measurements were repeated. The two lungs were then ventilated with the same VT (250 ml), and measurements were again repeated. A similar protocol was performed in a second group of dogs in which mean Pbr was kept constant. Bronchoconstriction was more severe in the lung ventilated with lower VT in both protocols. When VT was reset to the same amplitude in the two lungs, the difference in bronchoconstriction was abrogated. These results demonstrate that large VT inhibits airway smooth muscle contraction, regardless of mean Pbr. 相似文献
