TROMBOSE VENOSA EXPERIMENTAL NA COBAIA: EFEITO DA HEPARINA E DE DROGAS QUE ALTERAM A FUNCAO PLAQUETARIA

Thrombosis was induced in the jugular vein of guinea pigs by damage of the epithelium with a sclerosing solution. The effect of heparin, Dextran 70, acetylsalicylic acid, dipyridamole and phenylbutazone in preventing the development of the thrombus was investigated. Only heparin in high doses showed this effect.

Efeitos do pentobarbital sódico sobre o fluxo sanguíneo renal. Estudo experimental no cão

In six dogs, previously anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (30 mg/kg) for surgical preparation, catheterism and monitoring, the action of sodium pentobarbital (7,5 mg/kg) on renal flow was studied. Determinations of mean arterial pressure, venous pressure, cardiac rate, arterio-cava pressure gradient and renal arterial resistance were made. Pentobarbital doesn't change significantly the renal blood flow or any of the other parameters studied, with the exception of venous pressure in the inferior caval vein where the drug produces a significant fall.

Prevention of experimental venous thrombosis induced by contrast medium in the rat

In order to assess experimentally the usefulness of some procedures employed in man to prevent venous thrombosis following phlebography, thrombosis was induced in rats using sodium diatrizoate in a temporarily isolated segment of a jugular vein. The prevention of thrombosis was attempted by washing out the vein with physiologic saline or saline plus heparin or by injecting saline plus heparin in the opposite jugular vein. Thrombosis occurred in all animals in the control group and in the group treated with saline alone. Both treatment schemes with heparin significantly reduced the incidence of thrombosis, the wash out with heparin being more effective than systemic heparin.

ACAO ANTIARRITMICA DA METOCLOPRAMIDA (PLASIL®) EM INTOXICACAO DIGITALICA EXPERIMENTAL. COMPARACAO COM A DIFENIL-HIDANTOINA

The antiarrhythmic action of metoclopramide in cardiac arrhythmias caused by toxic doses of desacetyl-lanatoside C and digitoxin was studied in dogs. A comparison was made between the efficacy of metoclopramide and diphenylhydantoin in arrhythmias caused by digitoxin. The results indicate that metoclopramide antagonized the arrhythmias induced by desacetyl-lanatoside C, while causing a transitory reversion of those induced by digitoxin in most of the experiments. Diphenylhydantoin failed to show an arrhythmic effect in the majority of the tested animals.
