    Notes: Abstract The aim of the present clinical trial was to test tolerability during 2 treatments with EMDOGAIN® in a large number of patients. An open, controlled study design in 10 Swedish specialist clinics was chosen, with a test group of 107 patients treated with EMDOGAIN® in connection with periodontal surgery at 2 surgical test sites per patient. The procedures were performed 2 to 6 weeks apart on one-rooted teeth with at least 4 mm deep intraosseous lesions. A control group of 33 patients underwent flap surgery without EMDOGAIN® at I comparable site. In total 214 test and 33 control surgeries were performed. Serum samples were obtained from test patients for analysis of total and specific antibody levels. 10 of the patients had samples taken before and after the first surgery. 56 other samples were taken after one treatment with EMDOGAIN®, and 63 after 2 treatments. None of the samples, not even from allergy-prone patients after 2 treatments, indicated deviations from established baseline ranges. This indicates that the immunogenic potential of EMDOGAIN® is extremely low when applied in conjunction with periodontal surgery. Comparison between the test and control groups demonstrated the same type and frequency of post-surgical experiences, i.e., reactions caused by the surgical procedure itself. Clinical probing and radiographic evaluation was performed at baseline and 8 months postsurgery. About half of the patients (44 test and 21 control) were also evaluated after 3 years. There was a significant difference between the test and control results at 8 months post surgery. and this difference had increased further at the 3 year follow-up. The 2.5–3 mm increase in attachment and bone level after treatment with EMDOGAIN® was of the same magnitude as seen in the studies with split-mouth design aiming for lest of effectiveness of EMDOGAIN®.

    Notes: Abstract Neonatal intracisternal administration of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, 50 μg on day 1 after birth) caused a marked hyperactivity when the rats were tested as adults. These rats also showed severe DA depletions in striatum and nucleus accumbens. Pretreatment with the noradrenaline (NA) uptake inhibitor desipramine provided protection against NA depletion in frontal cortex and nucleus accumbens. Pretreatment with DNA uptake inhibitors, amfolenic acid or GBR 12909, before 6-OHDA, provided full protection against DA depletion but produced marked NA depletion in frontal cortex. These rats did not demonstrate any degree of hyperactivity. Low doses ofd-amphetamine (0.25 mg/kg SC) or methylphenidate (1 mg/kg SC) reversed the hyperactivity in DA-depleted rats but increased motor activity in vehicle-treated and NA-depleted rats. Higher doses ofd-amphetamine (1 mg/kg) or methylphenidate (4 mg/kg) produced potentiated levels of locomotion but attenuated levels of rearing in DA-depleted animals. The results further suggest the utility of the neonatal DA lesion in rats as a potential animal model for derivation of therapeutic agents that may be efficacious in the treatment of the hyperkinetic syndrome.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of noradrenaline (NA) depletion upon amphetamine-induced hyperactivity were examined in five experiments. Central NA depletion via either systemic DSP4 or neonatal 6-OHDA antagonised the amphetamine-induced (2 mg/kg SC) increase in rearing behaviour, whereas lesions of the dorsal noradrenergic bundle using 6-hydroxydopamine antagonised the increase in locomotor activity. Peripheral NA depletion following systemic 6-hydroxydopamine to adult rats did not cause any changes in motor activity after acute amphetamine administration. Desipramine, the selective NA uptake inhibitor, blocked the effects of DSP4 upon amphetamine-induced rearing. NA depletion antagonised hyperactivity produced by the 2 mg/kg dose of amphetamine, but not the hyperactivity (rearing or locomotion) effects of amphetamine at 1, 4 or 8 mg/kg.
