It is Proposed in the Present study to investigate the effects of TTX intravenously or intrahypothalamically administered on the arterial blood pressure and respiration and also to explorc effect of intrahypothalamically administered TTX on the pressor responses to electrical stimulation in the hypothalamus. The results obtained are as follows; 1) The pressor responses to electrical stimulation in the hypothalamus were markedly reduced after administration of TTX. In the $0.01\;{\mu}g/kg$ of TTX administered group, the pressor responses were almost abolished in 6 minutes and there was no tendency toward recovery throughout the experiment. 2) In $0.01\;{\mu}g/kg$ of TTX administered group, the mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate-were gradually reduced while there was a transient increase in respiratory rate followed by slow recovery thereafter. On the other hand no changes in arterial blood pressure, heart rate an4 respiration were observed in $0.005\;{\mu}g/kg$ TTX administered group. 3) Following intravenous administration of $1\;{\mu}g/kg$ TTX, the arterial blood pressure and heart rate were slowly reduced by 60 minutes while no marked changes were found in respiration. From the results of present study it is strongly suggested that TTX exerts its depressant effect not only on peripheral nerves but also on central nervous system.

Captopril, an inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme, is also known to inhibit the degradation of bradykinin. We examined the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) captopril on the central pressor response to bradykinin in normotensive, 2-kidney, 1 clip Goldblatt (GHR) and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. Captopril (1 mg) and bradykinin (5 nmol) were administered into the right lateral cerebral ventricle, and blood pressure and heart rate were continuously monitored throughout the experiment. ICV captopril alone did not affect the blood pressure within 10 minutes but it significantly augmented the central pressor response to bradykinin in GHR. On the contrary, captopril was without effect on the pressor response to bradykinin in normotensive and DOCA-salt rats. These findings indicate that endogenous kinins are not critical in regulating arterial pressure in normotensive and DOCA hypertensive rats. However, in GHR, an enhanced activity of the brain kallikrein-kinin system in maintaining the high blood pressure is suggested.

Effect of BR-900317 on the angiotensin I-induced pressor response in pithed rats and the effects of its single oral administration on plasma angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activities in normotensive rats and on the cardiovascular system in hypertensive model rats (SHR, RHR), were compared with those of captopril. BR-900317 attenuated the angiotensin I-induced pressor effects in pithed rats. In a single oral dose administration study, BR-900317 inhibited the plasma ACE activities in a dose-dependent fashion. Duration of the action of BR-900317 was similar to that of captopril. BR-900317 produced antihypertensive effect in spontaneously hypertensive rats and dose-dependent antihypertensive effect in 2-kidney Goldblatt hypertensive rats without affecting heart rate. These results suggest that the main mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of BR-900317 is the suppression of angiotensin II production due to the inhibition of the ACE.

마취가토에서 혈압유지에 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 교감신경계, renin-angiotensin계, vasopressin계를 차단하였을때의 혈압자체의 변동과 norepinephrine (NE), angiotensin II (AII) 및 vasopressin (VP)의 승압효과의 변동을 조사하였다. 교감신경계와 renin-angiotensin계의 차단에는 각각 교감신경절 차단약인 chlorisondamine (CS)과 pirenzepine (PZ), angiotensin 변환효소억제약인 enalapril (ENAL)를 사용하였다. VP계의 차단에는 혈장 VP농도를 하강시킴이 알려져 있는 kappa opioid 수용체의 작용약인 bremazocine (BREM)을 사용하였다. CS (0.4mg/kg), ENAL (2mg/kg), BREM (0.25mg/kg)은 각각 비슷한 정도의 저혈압상태를 일으켰다. BREM에 의한 저혈압은 VP와 같은 효과를 가진 합성약인 desmopressin으로 유의하게 길항되었으며 BREM에 의한 저혈압이 적어도 일부 혈장 VP농도의 하강과 관계있음을 시사하였다. CS는 ENAL 또는 BREM으로 하강된 혈압을, ENAL은 CS 또는 BREM으로 하강된 혈압을, BREM은 CS 또는 ENAL로 하강된 혈압을, 더욱 하강시켰다. CS, PZ 그리고 ENAL 또는 CS, PZ 그리고 BREM에 의한 저혈압은 CS이외의 세약물에 의한 저혈압보다 심하였다. CS는 NE에 의한 승압효과 뿐만아니라 AII와 VP의 승압효과도 강화시켰다. AII의 승압효과는 또 ENAL과 BREM으로도 증대되었다. VP의 승압효과는 BREM으로도 강화되었다. ${\alpha}$-수용체의 길항약인 phentolamine과 phenoxybenzamine은 AII와 VP승압효과를 강화시켰다. 3승압계 차단이 혈압자체에 미치는 실험결과는 3계가 모두 혈압조절에 관여하고 그 중에서도 교감신경계가 가장 큰 역할을 하고 있음을 가리키고 있다. 한 승압계의 차단하에서, 그 계의 승압 hormone 뿐만아니라 다른 계의 승압 hormone의 승압효과도 증대됨은 이 3승압계가 긴밀한 상호작용을 하고 있는 증거이다.

This study was attempted to investigate the pharmacological action, especially depressor action of Phellodendri cortex and to elucidate the mechanism of its action, making use of Phellodendri cortex methanol extract (PCME) because its hypotensive action is not clear. Influence of PCME on the blood pressure of the rabbits and cats were observed in this study. PCME, when given intravenously in the rabbits and cats, elicited the hypotensive action, but intraventricular PCME in the rabbits did not show depressor action. Accumulation and tachyphylaxis by PCME administered into the ear-vein of the rabbits were not shown. Depressor effect of PCME in the rabbits was attenuated significantly by pretreatment with phentolamine, guanethidine, chorisondamine and atropine, but not by propranolol, diphenhydramine, cyproheptadine and vagotomization. The pressor activity of angiotensin was unimpaired after injection of maximal hypotensive doses (100mg/kg) of PCME, but the pressor activity of norepinephrine and carotid occlusion was abolished markedly. In addition, PCME given into jugular vein of the cats weakened norepinephrine pressor responses and caused the reversal of epinephrine pressor responses. These results suggest that the hypotensive action of PCME may be due to dual mechanisms by interference with peripheral sympathetic function, alpha adrenoceptor blocking action, and peripheral parasympathomimetics action, muscarinic action.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of experimenter gender on pain report as well as the sex differences in pain threshold and pain tolerance. Cold pressor test and pressure pain threshold (PPT) test were performed on forty dental students by both of a male and a female experimenter separately with 1 day interval. The obtained results were as follows : There were no differences in pain threshold and pain tolerance between males and females when they were examined by the same gender experimenter in the cold pressor test, but when they were examined by the opposite gender experimenter the pain threshold of males was significantly higher than females. When the pain threshold was measured by the same gender experimenter, using a algometer, there was no differences in PPT between males and females. However, when the same measurements were done by the opposite gender experimenter, the PPT of males was significantly higher than females at anterior temporalis and inferior masseter. For cold pressor test, females tended to report lower levels of pain threshold and pain tolerance to a male experimenter than a female, but the differences were not significant. Although both pain threshold and pain tolerance were increased when males were examined by a female experimenter in the cold pressor test, the statistical significance was found only in pain tolerance. When subjects were examined by the opposite gender experimenter in the PPT text, females reported significantly higher levels of pain at inferior masseter and males reported significantly lower levels of pain at anterior temporalis and inferior masseter.
