    Notes: 1. Digital arteries, removed at autopsy from 12 hypertensives and 11 normotensives, have been compared in vitro for the calcium dependence of contractures produced by potassium chloride and noradrenaline, and the potency of verapamil to antagonize contractures to noradrenaline.2. No significant differences were found between the vessels from the hypertensives and normotensives for the pD2 values or the maximum response to either potassium chloride or noradrenaline in bathing solutions containing 2.5, 1.0, 0.5 or 0 mmol/l calcium chloride.3. There were also no significant differences between the vessels, from the hypertensive or normotensives, in the pD2 values for the addition of calcium chloride to arteries exposed to potassium chloride or noradrenaline in a calcium free bathing medium, in the ability of verapamil to shift the pD2 values for noradrenaline, nor in the ability of verapamil to reduce the maximum responses to noradrenaline (except at the two highest concentrations of verapamil tested).4. It is concluded that it is unlikely to be a primary abnormality of the mechanisms regulating calcium ion entry and release in vascular smooth muscle in human hypertension.

    Notes: SUMMARY1. The post-receptor mechanisms of α1 and α2-adrenoceptor subtypes in guinea-pig aorta and human digital arteries have been explored.2. Nifedipine antagonized contractile responses of human digital arteries to TL99 and methoxamine to a similar degree, thus suggesting that neither the α1 nor the α2 receptor is preferentially linked to calcium entry through voltage-operated channels of the cell membrane.3. In the guinea-pig aorta, which contains only α1-adrenoceptors, methoxamine-stimulated inositol phosphate (IP) production at similar concentrations was required to produce contractile responses.4. In the human digital artery, noradrenaline also produced a significant increase in IP formation, but preliminary experiments have suggested that both TL99 and methoxamine stimulate IP production.5. Thus, the present authors have been unable as yet to confirm, in a tissue which contains both α1-and α2-adrenoceptors, that the post-receptor mechanisms of the α subtypes are different.

    Notes: 1. Synergism between the contractile effects of platelet-derived serotonin (5HT) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) on a human blood vessel has been investigated by incubating strips of digital arteries in subcontractile concentrations of either 5HT or the TXA2-mimetic agent U46619.2. Either agonist U46619 or 5HT, in subcontractile concentrations, significantly potentiated the contractile response to the other.3. The 5HT antagonist ketanserin (10 (μmol/1), theCa2+ antagonist drugs verapamil (3 μmol/l), or nifedipine (10 nmol/l), or a Ca2+-free bathing medium, reduced the contractile responses to 5HT, but had no effect on the potentiation mediated by U46619.4. The interaction between TXA2 and 5HT derived from platelets was studied by measuring responses to platelets 1 min after aggregation (in the absence or the presence of ketanserin 10 μmol/l), and 20 min after aggregation. The results indicated that the response to platelets mediated by TXA2 and 5HT was greater than the sum of those mediated by TXA2 or 5HT separately.5. It is concluded that synergism between the contractile effects of 5HT and U46619 occurs in human blood vessels; that this is mediated by enhanced utilization of intracellular, rather than extracellular calcium; and that synergism can also occur when 5HT and TXA2 are released from stimulated human platelets.

    Notes: SUMMARY 1. The effects of caffeine, halothane, potassium chloride and procaine have been studied on normal human skeletal muscle in vitro. Particular emphasis has been given to the role played by extracellular calcium ions in producing these effects.2. Caffeine produces a concentration-dependent contracture probably by stimulating the release of calcium ions from the calcium storing membranes of the muscle cell.3. Halothane potentiates the contractures produced by caffeine and potassium chloride probably by facilitating the release of calcium from the storage membranes.4. Potassium chloride produces a contracture only in the presence of caffeine or halothane.5. Procaine inhibits all the contractures studied.

    Notes: Summary The accumulation and disposition of the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug isoxicam were investigated following its oral administration to 6 subjects with normal renal function and 13 patients with diminished renal function. Isoxicam was given daily as a single oral dose for 14–15 consecutive days. Steady-state plasma levels were achieved after 13 days. The effect of differences in renal function on the kinetics of isoxicam appeared to be minimal. Accumulation of isoxicam was similar in both groups of subjects and there was no significant difference between the groups in the plasma clearance or terminal half-life of isoxicam. There were substantial differences between individuals in the apparent plasma clearance and half-life of the drug, and this is reflected in the 7-fold range of steady-state plasma isoxicam concentrations encountered in the subjects.
