...Yi Shao; Haibin Wei; Minglei Sha; Feng Sun; Jun Lu; Shujie Xia Purpose: To estimate the effects of verapamil on pelvic pressure and investigate the possible systemic side effects in the porcine model during the procedure of increasing perfusion rates. Materials and Methods: In the experimental...

... to investigate the effect of magnesium on the response of rabbit whole bladder to field stimulation in vitro. The response to field stimulation was decreased by magnesium in a concentration-dependent manner. Verapamil significantly enhanced the suppressive effect of magnesium, whereas BAY-K8644 decreased...

...) dissolved in 24 ml physiological saline plus 15 mg of verapamil (VR) (6 ml) every day for 10 days. In spite of the short period of treatment, 6 of the 18 evaluable patients (33.3%) showed complete response (CR) and a further 5 (27.8%) showed partial response (PR). Five of the 6 patients with CR were...

...Poul-Erik Lundbech; Hans Jørgen Kirkeby; Jens Christian Djurhuus The intracavernosal pressure changes induced by 3 vasodilating drugs, diazoxide, glyceryltrinitrate and verapamil were investigated during autologous extracorporeal penile blood perfusion in an experimental rabbit model. In order...

... blocker on pronounced apoptotic changes were evaluated. Results: Immunohistochemistry results revealed that PUUO for 4 weeks caused an upregulation of p53 to 55.2 ± 2% and Fas to 30.1 ± 1.1%, whereas verapamil challenge attenuated the expression of these two apoptotic markers (p53: 15.9 ± 1.8%; Fas: 18.2...

... (verapamil) on the histology and the tubular diameter of contralateral testicle was evaluated. Following a definite period of unilateral testicular torsion (i.e., 4 h), the protective effect of this specific medication was evaluated both after detorsion and orchiectomy procedures. The results of our study...
