Abstract
Synovitis in horses is frequently treated by administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which inhibit cyclooxygenase isoforms (COX-1 and COX-2). Constitutively expressed COX-1 is involved in physiologic functions such as maintenance of gastric mucosal integrity, whereas COX-2...

Abstract
At 6, 12, and 24 hours after the fourth treatment, subjective lameness evaluations and force plate data indicated significant improvement in lameness from baseline values in horses treated with flunixin or phenylbutazone, compared with control horses; at those time points, the assessed variables in...

Abstract
Compared with values obtained after administration of saline solution, mPVF was significantly increased at all posttreatment evaluation times when phenylbutazone was administered. Clinical lameness scores were significantly decreased 6 and 12 hours after administration of the final dose when phenylb...

Abstract
The effect of feeding Sporobolus and Rhodes hay on phenylbutazone (4 g) relative absorption was examined in six camels using a two-period, two-sequence, two-treatment crossover design. Serum concentration of the drug was measured by high performance liquid chromatography. The measured values (means+...

Abstract
The HOCl-injured mucosa had lower resistance and higher permeability to mannitol, compared with control tissue. Histologic changes were also evident. Resistance of HOCl-injured mucosa recovered partially during the incubation period, and glutamine improved recovery. Phenylbutazone and indomethacin i...

Abstract
We therefore investigated the effect of thiamphenicol (TAP), the active principle of thiamphenicol glycinate acetylcysteinate (TGA), on human granulocyte functions, mainly phagocytosis and intracellular killing of Streptococcus pyogenes. Our findings support the use of thiamphenicol in the treatment...

Abstract
Chloro and bromo substututed indanyl tetrazoles (compounds 5a, b) and indanyl methyltetrazoles (compounds 5c, 5d) have been synthesized from their respective acids through amide and nitrile routes, and characterized. The title compounds (5a, 5b, 5c and 5d) were subjected for their analgesic activity...

Abstract
The objective was to compare the gastrointestinal and general toxicity of suxibuzone (SBZ) to that of phenylbutazone (PBZ) when administered orally in horses. Fifteen healthy horses were allocated to three treatment groups. One group received a high dose of PBZ for two weeks; the second group was gi...

Abstract
We investigated the effects of a Korean traditional prescription, Geiji-Bokryung-Hwan (GBH) consisting of five herbs of Cinnamomi Ramulus (Korean name Geiji), Poria cocos (Bokryung), Moutan Cortex Radicis (Modanpi). Paeoniae Radix (Jakyak) and Persicae Semen (Doin) on tumor growth-inhibitory activit...

Abstract
We have evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of IL-1beta against inflammation induced by local administration of the methanol extract of dried latex of Calotropis procera (MeDL) and compared it with that against carrageenan. The anti-inflammatory activity of standard anti-inflammatory drugs, phe...

Abstract
A multi-residue liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method (LC/MS2) was developed for the detection of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs acetylsalicylic acid (via the marker residue salicylic acid), flunixin, phenylbutazone, tolfenamic acid, meloxicam and ketoprofen, in bovine mus...

Abstract
In this study, the effect of 14-deoxyandrographolide (14-DAP) on calcium channel-dependent rat uterine smooth muscle contraction was evaluated. Using a tissue bath preparation, 14-DAP was able to reduce the contractile response to 0.3 and 3.0 mm of CaCl(2), with an IC(50) of 1.24 +/- 0.23 x 10(-5) m...

Abstract
The extracts of Bambusa arundinacea have been used in Indian folk medicine to treat various inflammatory conditions. The plant has got antiulcer activity also. It is thought that these two properties in the same extract are very much useful in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. It is well kno...

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a very common life-style-related disease. Both genetic and environmental factors are strongly involved in its etiology and pathogenesis, and patients suffering from this disease are rapidly increasing in number. Since the discoveries of insulin in the 1920s and of antidiabetic su...

Abstract
This study provides evidence that LPS affects gastric acid secretion in the horse and that these LPS-induced changes are mediated, in part, by prostaglandins. POTENTIAL RELEVANCE: Lipopolysaccharide administration can induce changes in the composition of gastric contents in the horse but further wor...

Abstract
The right dorsal colon could be imaged most consistently at the right 11th, 12th, and 13th intercostal spaces, below the margin of the lung and axial to the liver. Mural thickness measured from ultrasonographic images was significantly greater in horses with right dorsal colitis than in healthy hors...

Abstract
Pharmacological studies were conducted with the hexane extract of the dry stem of Diospyros variegata Kruz. (Ebenaceae) on experimental animals for evaluating the analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities. In the analgesic test, the hexane extract elicited inhibitory intensity on aceti...

Abstract
These results demonstrate that drug transfer and offspring exposure can be studied using the cow-calf model. The data also highlight the importance of considering not only the dose but also physicochemical characteristics and pharmacokinetics of the drug in the offspring when evaluating the safety o...

Abstract
Adulterations with synthetic drugs are common problems with herbal medicine and this can potentially cause serious adverse effects. It is therefore important to determine the presence of synthetic drugs in herbal medicine to ensure patients' safety. The objective of this study was to develop sensiti...

Abstract
Flunixin meglumine and phenylbutazone were selective inhibitors of COX-1. Carprofen and flunixin meglumine, but not phenylbutazone, inhibited LPS-induction of iNOS. Carprofen and, to a lesser degree, flunixin meglumine had inhibitory effects on NFkappaB activation. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE...

Abstract
The symptoms and signs of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency are discussed. When the condition occurs among males in the neonatal period it is likely to be lethal. Pathological findings are non-specific. The diagnosis should be considered if coma with cerebral oedema and respiratory alkalosis occ...
