    Notes: Abstract The cardiovascular and central nervous system effects of the kappa opioid receptor agonist U-62066E were investigated in ten normal male subjects who received U-62066E or placebo with low or high dose naloxone in a randomized, double blind study. Blood pressure and heart rate in the supine and standing position, plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline, regional Doppler blood velocity indices and psychometric assessments were recoreded for 1.25 h before and 6 h following injection. U-62066E caused sedation and dysphoria but no euphoria. Plasma noradrenaline was increased by U62066E when compared with basal levels. This action of U62066E was prevented by high but not low dose naloxone. U-62066E had no significant effect on blood pressure, heart rate or regional blood flow indices in the vessels studied and no effect on plasma adrenaline levels. Since U62066E at a dose known to have marked kappa effects was not found to influence cardiovascular indices our results do not support a major role for kappa opioids in the control of the circulation. However, U62066E may influence noradrenaline release or clearance and cause sedation and psychotomimetic effects.

    Notes: Summary Reproducibility of Doppler blood velocity waveform measurements in external and internal carotid, middle cerebral, and brachial arteries and ascending aorta was determined in 8 normal male volunteers twice daily on three occasions each separated by two or more weeks. Measurements were made in supine and standing positions at rest and after taking glyceryl trinitrate and in the supine position after performing a standardized exercise test. The Doppler blood flow waveform indices showed a between days coefficient of variation of less than 15% both for baseline measurements and during haemodynamic change induced by exercise or glyceryl trinitrate. We conclude that Doppler blood velocity waveform measurement in different vascular beds is reproducible at baseline and when the cardiovascular system is interrupted pharmacologically or physiologically.

    Notes: The nature and time-course of acute piroxicam-induced gastric mucosal injury was determined in ten healthy volunteers treated with 10 mg piroxicam twice daily by mouth for 21 days. Mucosal injury was measured endoscopically by visual analogue scales and by the method of Lanza, and luminal blood loss by haemoglobin measurements in gastric washings, 10 h after the first drug dose and then after 5, 10 and 21 days.Acute mucosal injury, consisting mainly of haemorrhagic lesions in the gastric body, developed to a maximum extent within 10 h of the first dose of piroxicam, and did not increase thereafter. By contrast intraluminal bleeding increased little for 10 days and then rose significantly at 21 days, when plasma piroxicam levels reached values likely to affect platelet function.We conclude that gastric mucosal injury and bleeding may be dissociated and may constitute different targets for prophylaxis. Gastric mucosal injury is probably exerted topically as it is maximal at low plasma drug concentrations, whereas bleeding may arise because of interference with platelet-dependent mechanisms.
