    Notes: Abstract The pyrogenic response to supernatants from human blood monocytes stimulated with polyriboinosinic acid:polyribocytidylic acid (poly I:C) was characteristic of a response to endogenous pyrogen in that it was brief and monophasic, and was destroyed by heating the supernatants at 70°C for 30 min. Pyrogen production was unimpaired when the incubations were carried out in the presence of cycloheximide (50 μg/ml; an inhibitor of protein synthesis) or indomethacin (50 μg/ml; an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis). Also, neither interferon, interleukins, tumor necrosis factor nor prostaglandin E2 were detectable in the supernatants from the poly I:C-stimulated human monocytes.

    Notes: Abstract During the onset of heat stroke, rabbits displayed hyperthermia (42.8°C), and decreased cerebral perfusion pressure and decreased cerebral blood flow (as reflected by a prolonged cerebral circulation time) compared to those of normothermic rabbits. On the other hand febrile rabbits, during the fever plateau did not show the above responses, although they had a similar level of hyperthermia (42.4°C). The data support the concept that cerebral ischemia is the main cause for the onset of the heat stroke syndrome.

    Notes: Summary Administration of either Poly I:Poly C (0.05–0.50 μg) or norepinephrine (2–8 μg) into the anterior hypothalamic area produced a dose-related fever in rats. The fever induced by Poly I:Poly C was attenuated after selective depletion of norepinephrine in the hypothalamus. However, selective depletion of hypothalamic norepinephrine did not affect the fever induced by intrahypothalamic norepinephrine. The data indicate that Poly I:Poly C may act to induce fever through the endogenous release of norepinephrine from the rat's hypothalamus.

    Notes: Summary 1. The effects of changes in central serotoninergic transmission on clonidine analgesia were assessed in monkeys. The minimum electrical current required for producing jaw opening is referred to as the pain threshold. Pain was induced by electrical stimulation of tooth pulp afferents. 2. In the first series of studies, intracerebroventricular administration of clonidine (5–30 μg) produced dose-dependent analgesia in monkeys. The clonidine-induced analgesia was abolished or attenuated by prior injection of the animals with p-chlorophenylalanine or 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine into the third cerebral ventricle. On the other hand, pretreatment of the animals by injecting 5-HT or its precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan into the cerebral ventricle potentiated the clonidine-induced analgesia in monkeys. 3. In the second series of experiments, administration of clonidine (1–10 μg) into the diencephalic periventricular gray (of the anterior hypothalamic portion), the periaqueductal gray, or the dorsal raphe nuclei also produced dose-dependent analgesia in monkeys. The analgesia induced by clonidine injection into the diencephalic periventricular gray or the periaqueductal gray was effectively antagonized by pretreatment of the animals by injecting two 5-HT receptor antagonists (such as ketanserine and methysergide) into the diencephalic periventricular gray or the periaqueductal gray. The clonidine-induced analgesia in monkeys was not affected by pretreatment of the animals with injections of either ketanserine or methysergide into the dorsal raphe nuclei. 4. The results suggest that the functional activity of central 5-HT neurons correlate well with the analgesic sensitivity of clonidine microinjected centrally. In addition, the analgesia induced by clonidine microinjected into the diencephalic periventricular gray or the periaqueductal gray was mediated by the 5-HT receptors at the site of injection.

    Notes: Summary The possible involvement of spinal 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) pathways in antinociception induced by microinjection of clonidine into the ventrolateral surface of the medulla oblongata was investigated in rats. Microinjection of clonidine (10-20 µg), but not yohimbine (1 µg) or 0.9% saline, into the lateral medulla prolonged the hot plate latency in rats. This clonidine-induced antinociception was abolished by intramedullary injection of the alpha2-adrenoceptor antagonist, yohimbine. Selective destruction of spinal 5-HT neurons produced by intraspinal injection of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT; 10 µg) or postsynaptic blockade of spinal 5-HT receptors produced by intrathecal injection of cyproheptadine (1 µg; a mixed 5-HT1/5-HT2 antagonist) also abolished clonidine-induced antinociception. Rats given 5,7-DHT intraspinally or cyproheptadine intrathecally showed a decrease in hot plate latency as compared with the controls. In anesthetized rats, the 5-HT release from the thoracic spinal cord was enhanced by microinjection of clonidine into the lateral medulla. This enhanced spinal 5-HT release evoked by intramedullary injection of clonidine was abolished by pretreatment of rats with intraspinal injection of 5,7-DHT. These results indicate that 5-HT pathways to the spinal cord mediate the antinociceptive effect induced by microinjection of clonidine into the ventrolateral surface of the medulla oblongata in rats.
