[Clinical evaluation of ciprofloxacin in pulmonary infections in the patients with chronic respiratory diseases].

The clinical efficacy of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) was investigated in pulmonary infections in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Out of 58 cases collected, 54 were evaluable for utility of CPFX including 20 with pneumonia, 34 with chronic bronchial infection. CPFX was given orally at 200 mg 3 times per day. In 20 cases of pneumonia, the mean age was 62.0 years underlying diseases were chronic bronchitis 9, bronchiectasis 6, inactive pulmonary tuberculosis 4, and diffuse panbronchiolitis 1. The efficacy rate of CPFX in this group was 90.0%. In 34 cases of chronic bronchial infection, the mean age was 59.8 years, underlying diseases included bronchiectasis 10, chronic bronchitis 8, inactive pulmonary tuberculosis 7, diffuse panbronchiolitis 5, and pulmonary emphysema 4. The efficacy rate of CPFX in this group was 70.6%. The overall efficacy rate in the entire cases was 77.8%, and we consider CPFX to be effective in the treatment of patients with chronic respiratory diseases.

[A case of massive hemorrhagic enteritis due to rotavirus].

We described a 8-month-old boy of massive hemorrhagic enteritis due to rotavirus complicated by shock. As far as we know, this case is the first patient who developed vascular collapse from the gastrointestinal tract bleeding by rotavirus infection. Clinicians should be alerted to the possibility of the occurrence of severe hemorrhagic enteritis as a life threatening complication in rotavirus induced enteritis.

[Evaluation of tiquizium bromide (HSR-902) as an antiulcer agent].

The effects of HSR-902, an antimuscarinic agent, on development of various gastric and duodenal lesions, gastric secretion, pupil size and salivation in rats were compared with those of pirenzepine.2HC1 (pirenzepine, antiulcer agent) and timepidium bromide (timepidium, antispasmodic). 1) HSR-902 (10-100 mg/kg), given orally, dose-dependently inhibited the developments of gastric lesions induced by water-immersion stress, aspirin, indomethacin, serotonin and reserpine and duodenal lesions induced by cysteamine and mepirizole. The activities of HSR-902 were almost equal or somewhat more potent than those of pirenzepine, and they were more potent than those of timepidium. 2) HSR-902 (30 and 100 mg/kg, p.o.), when examined using pylorus-ligated preparations, dose-dependently inhibited the gastric acid output, pepsin output, and gastric acid and pepsin concentrations, but did not inhibit the gastric volume (HSR-902, in a higher dose, slightly increased the gastric volume.). Pirenzepine (100 mg/kg, p.o.), like atropine sulfate, inhibited the gastric volume, acid output and pepsin output, but did not inhibit the gastric acid and pepsin concentrations. Timepidium (100 mg/kg, p.o.), however, hardly influenced these parameters except for increasing the gastric volume. 3) HSR-902 (100 mg/kg, p.o.) induced the mydoriasis and inhibited the pilocarpine-induced salivation, and its activities were less potent than those of pirenzepine. These results suggest that HSR-902 is a promising agent for the treatment of peptic ulcer.

[Cytoprotective activity of tiquizium bromide (HSR-902) and its mechanism].

The effects of HSR-902, an antimuscarinic agent, on acute gastric mucosal lesions induced by various necrotizing agents, gastric mucus secretion and gastric HCO3- secretion in rats were compared with those of pirenzepine.2HCl (pirenzepine), an antiulcer agent. 1) HSR-902 (10-100 mg/kg), given orally, dose-dependently prevented the gastric mucosal lesions induced by ethanol-HCl (60% ethanol in 150 mM HCl), aspirin-HCl (150 mg/kg of aspirin in 150 mM HCl), 0.6 N HCl and 0.2 N NaOH; and the cytoprotective effects of HSR-902 were almost equal or somewhat more potent than those of pirenzepine. 2) HSR-902 (30 mg/kg, p.o.), like pirenzepine, increased the alcian blue binding to gastric mucosa and both hexosamine and N-acetylneuramic acid in gastric juice and reversed the decrease of alcian blue binding to gastric mucosa in water-immersion stress. 3) HSR-902 (30 mg/kg, p.o.), unlike pirenzepine and atropine sulfate, increased the gastric HCO3- secretion in the pylorus-ligated preparations. 4) The cytoprotective effect of HSR-902 (30 mg/kg, p.o.), when examined using gastric mucosal lesion induced by aspirin-HCl, was not abolished by the pretreatment with indomethacin (10 mg/kg, s.c.) or N-ethylmaleimide (10 mg/kg, s.c.). 5) HSR-902 (30 mg/kg, p.o.) did not influence the gastric mucosal potential difference. These results suggest that HSR-902 is a promising drug for the treatment of gastritis and peptic ulcers.

Pharmacological studies of the new centrally acting muscle relaxant 4'-ethyl-2-methyl-3-pyrrolidinopropiophenone hydrochloride.

The pharmacological properties of 4'-ethyl-2-methyl-3-pyrrolidinopropiophenone hydrochloride (HSR-770), a new centrally acting muscle relaxant, were investigated in experimental animals. HSR-770, within a dose range of 1-10 mg/kg i.v., relaxed alpha- and gamma-rigidities in rats, the dose required to relax gamma-rigidity being lower than the dose required to relax alpha-rigidity. When HSR-770 was intraduodenally (i.d.) administered within a dose range of 25-50 mg/kg, the relaxant activity on alpha-rigidity was potent and long-lasting in comparison with eperisone or tolperisone. HSR-770 inhibited flexor reflex more strongly than patellar reflex in a dose-dependent manner within a dose range of 2.5-10 mg/kg i.v. or 25 and 50 mg/kg i.d. in anesthetized cats. In spinal cts, HSR-770 (5 and 10 mg/kg i.v.) inhibited flexor reflex but this potency was weaker than that in anesthetized cats. HSR-770 (12.5-50 mg/kg i.d.) inhibited he crossed extensor reflex in anesthetized rats. In spinal cats, HSR-770 inhibited mono- and polysynaptic reflex potentials to the same extent and also depressed dorsal root reflex potential at 5 and 10 mg/kg i.v. HSR-770 at a dose (50 mg/kg p.o.) which exerted muscle relaxant activity on both rigidity and flexor reflex, had little effect on spontaneous motor activity (mice), hexobarbital-induced sleeping time (mice) and conditioned avoidance response (rats). These results indicate that HSR-770 is a potent centrally acting muscle relaxant and that its central nervous system depressant activity is relatively weak.
