[Prolongation of the effective refractory period on isolated guinea pig atria by some anti-arrhythmia agents: relevance in a comparison of their potentialities].

The effects of bepridil, nifedipine, verapamil, lignocaïne and amiodarone on the atrial effective refractory period were investigated in the guinea-pig. The observed results permitted elucidation of a remarkable activity by both nifedipine and verapamil, and by bepridil and lignocaïne. In contrast, in the experimental conditions, no activity was detected with amiodarone up to concentrations of 10(-4) M. The efficacity rating of the test compounds is not reflected by their anti-arrhythmic efficacity as demonstrated in vivo in the animal, nor by their therapeutic anti-arrhythmic efficacity as reported in the clinical literature. However, this efficacity rating may be related to the interaction of the compounds with the transmembrane sodium or calcium movements.

[Morphine self-administration added to food conditioning: methodological variant in rats].

Rats with permanent intra-jugular cannula are submitted to an alimentary operant reinforcement schedule with fixed ratio type FR 1, FR5, then FR 20. As a result, the animals are self administering (together with the alimentary inducer) a slow (about 5 sec) intravenous infusion of morphine (0.05 mg/kg). 20 per cent only of the experimental population exhibit a psychogenic dependance afterward. On the other hand, the animals for which morphine self-administration has been substituted to the alimentary reinforcement without respecting a transitory period combining both types of reinforcement have never shown any tendancy toward morphine self-administration. The lack of positive results could be related to the marked duration of the self-injection.

[Creation, in the dog, of a denervated antral pouche, associated with a Heindenhain's pouche: technical considerations relative to surgical time and postoperative complications].

Overall assessment following the creation of denervated antral and fundic pouches, in 64 mongrel dogs, leads to the recommendation of certain important technical options: surgical intervention carried out in 1 stage; respecting of precise operative timetable; reestablishement of digestive continuity by gastro-jejunostomy with large anastomosis mouth; inutility of scraping the walls of vessels irrigating the pouches.
