AIM: To study the effect of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa ) on intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+ ]i) and the effects of verapamil (Ver), cyproheptadine (Cyp), and anisodamine (Ani) on TNFa-induced [Ca2+...
Acute traumatic brain edema models were established in SD rats by dropping weight methods.We observed the therapeutic effect of Cyproheptadine(Cyp)on traumatic brain edema.It was shown that Cyp could obviously reduce ...
Profound hemorrhagic shock was produced in thirty rabbits by exsanguination via the carotid artery until blood pressure (BP) reached 5.3 kPa (40 mmHg) and was sustained for a period of 90 minutes. The rabbits were equ...
