2.Preliminary study on manufacture process of transdermal patch of nitroglycerin
Pharmaceutical Journal 2003;321(1):15-18
Nitroglycerin, a vasoactive substance, has been used in the treatment of vagina for more than 100 years. To sustain the pharmaceutical effect, doses were administered every 2 hours. Recently the transdermal delivery systems have became popular. Based on eudragit E 100, we combined it with plasticizer (dibutyl sebacate/triethyl citrate), crosslinker (succinic acid), active ingredient (nitroglycerin) and further excipients (e.g. permation enhances: ethyl alcohol) to form a self adhesive matrix system for use in nitroglycerin patch. The concentration of nitroglycerin in the patch was determined by HPLC assay

To evaluate the coronary vasomotor tone in vasospasic angina, we compared the diameters of non-spastic segments of vasospastic group with those of control group. The internal diameters of each segment of three major coronary arteries were measured on the basal coronary angiogram, and nitroglycerin administration after provocation with ergonovine or acetylcholine. The vasospastic angina group consisted of 26 patients(20 males, 6 females, mean age of 54 years) and control group consisted of 25 patients (7 males, 18 females, mean age of 55 years). The basal coronary arterial diameters in vasospastic angina group were smaller than those in control group(p<0.05) except the distal segment of right coronary artery. The percent dilation ratio in vasospastic angina group was greater than that in control group(p<0.05). In vasospastic angina group there was no significant difference in the degree of constriction after provocation with ergonovine or acetylcholine between proximal and distal segment. These observations suggest that in vasospastic angina, basal coronary arterial tone is increased in the entire coronary arterial tree and the localized spasm may reflect local hyperrespon siveness.

4.Comparison of Graded and Bolus Infusion Methods in Baroreflex Measurements in Rabbits.
Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 1995;38(1):61-65
Graded infusion and bolus injection methods of vasoactive drugs have both been used to measure baroreflex sensitivity. To determine whether the two methods produce the same values of baroreceptor sensitivity, phenylephrine and nitroglycerin was administered intravenously by both graded infusion and bolus injection methods to 11 rabbits. To evaluate the baroreflex control of heart rate(HR), a logistic sigmoid function model was used. The range of HR and baroreflex gain by the bolus method(100.53+/-0.62, 0.113+/-0.011) were significantly(p<0.05) larger than those measured by the graded infusion method(108.49+/-1.66, 0.126+/-0.013). However, there were no significant changes in the pressure at the midrange of the baroreflex curve. Thus my results indicate that baroreflex control of HR by the graded infusion and bolus injection methods is not equivalent and that baroreflex-induced HR response to a gradual change in pressure is less than that seen with a repid change.

7.The effect of nitroglycerin capsule to decrease the arterial systolic pressure in heart failure patients with high pressure of pulmonary artery
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;442(2):40-43
In 35 heart failure patients (20 male, 15 female with average age 48±6) in the Hospital 103 from November 2001 to May 2002 the study was carried out. Doppler ultrasound on the heart identified high systolic pressure of pulmonary artery (SPPA). One sublingual capsule of nitroglycerin (0.5 mg) exested a decrease of SPPA in heart failure patient with high SPPA within 5, 10, 15 , 30 and 1 hour. The preparation was well tolerable, with no significant side effects

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Flow-mediated brachial artery vasoactivity has been proposed as a noninvasive means for assessing endothelial function. The present study is designed to assess the influence of aging on endothelial function and when vasoactivity developed initially, peaked. MATERIALS AND METHOD: We measured brachial artery diameter for 60 seconds continuously using 7.5 MHz ultrasound following 5 minutes of lower arm occlusion in 22 normal volun-teers (young group: 10 volunteers, 26.5+/-1.9 years; old group: 12 volunteers, 55.9+/-3.3 years). After sublingual administration of 0.6 mg nitroglycerine, 240 seconds continuously. And then we measure vasoactivity every 3 seconds. RESULTS: Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) was started earlier in young group (24.3+/-2.8 sec; old group 28.8+/-3.6 sec, p=0.017). After release of occlusion, peak vasoacitivity time was at 35.5+/-4.7 seconds and peak vasoactivity was 8.4+/-1.7% in young group (old group 6.9+/-1.5%, p=0.099). Endothelial independent vasodilation (EID) was started at 80.7+/-13.3 seconds after sublingual nitroglycerine in young group (vs 80.0+/-19.0 sec), peaked at 177.5+/-16.9 seconds (vs 171.3+/-13.8 sec). Peak vasoactivity was higher in young group (19.1+/-3.1%; old group 15.9+/-2.5%, p=0.033). CONCLUSION: We conclude that 1) Aging has influence on endothelial function about initiating time of vasoactivity as well as peak vaso- activity. 2) FMD can be measured around 50 seconds after release of brachial artery occlusion and EID at 180 seconds after application of sublingual nitroglycerine. 3) The initiating time of vasoactivity (under 30 seconds) can be used for evaluation of endothelial function.

BACKGROUND: In patients with variant angina, previous data have been inconclusive as to whether basal coronary artery tone is elevated at the spastic sites and nonspastic sites. The purpose of this study was to assess the basal coronary artery tone and to evaluate the responsiveness to acetylcholine and ergonovine in patients with variant angina. METHODS: Basal coronary artery tone was assessed by obtaining the percent increase in coronary artery diameter induced by nitroglycerin in 66 patients with variant angina and 26 control subjects. We also compared the basal coronary tone and the constrictive responses to acetylcholine and ergonovine between the 31 patients with variant angina whom spasm was provoked by the low doses of acetylcholine(Ach; intracoronary, 20microg) or ergonovine(Erg; intravenous, 50microg)(Group 1) and the 35 patients provoked by higher doses of acetylcholine(intracoronary, 100microg) or ergonovine(intravenous cumulative dose of 350microg)(Group 2). RESULTS: Patients with variant angina whom spasm was provoked by low doses of acetylcoline and ergonovine, have a more tendency of combine fixed disease(mix disease), multivessel spasm and high disease activity. Basal coronary artery tone at the spastic sites was significantly elevated in the Group 1 in whom spasm was provoked by low doses of acetycholine and ergonovine than that in Group 2(44+/-17 vs 13+/-11%, respectively, p<0.05). Basal coronary artery tone of spasm-related artery, but not nonspasm related artery, at the non spastic site was greater in the Group 1 than that in Group 2 (26+/-14 vs 16+/-10%, respectively, p<0.05). In the patients with variant angina in whom spasm was provoked by higher dose of acetylcholine or ergonovine, basal coronary artery was comparable at the spastic and nonspastic sites and was not different from that in the control subjects. The magnitude of vasoconstrictive responses to acetylcoline and ergonovine, at the nonspastic sites, were also greater in Group 1 than those in Group 2 and the control groups(Ach; 40+/-20 vs 26+/-11. 27+/-12% : Erg ; 37+/-18 vs 12+/-8, 13+/-10%, respectively, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that elevated basal coronary artery tone of the spastic sites and nonspastic sites of spasm-related artery in patients with variant angina may be related to occurrence of coronary spasm.

BACKGROUND: To overcome the limitation of angiography, intravascular ultrasound(IVUS) is widely used to guide coronary stent implantation. We compared the quantitative measurements of IVUS and quantitaitve coronary angiographic(QVA) analysis after stent implantation. METHODS: Thirty nine patients with 39 coronary lesions underwent coronary stent implantation. The implanted stents were CrossFlex stent in 17, NIR stent in 13, Palmaz-Schatz stent in 6, Multilink stent in 2 patients, and Divysio stent in 1 patient. Post-stent IVUS procedure with automatic pullback device was performed successfully in all patients after angiographic optimization. IVUS and QCA measurements included the minimum lumen diameter at proximal and distal reference artery, and stented site after intracoronary administration of 0.2mg nitroglycerin. RESULTS: IVUS and QCA measurement of minimal luminal diameter(MLD) at proximal and distal reference artery, and stented site correlated reliably each other(r=0.62, p<0.01 ; r=0.77, p<0.01 ; r=0.73, p<0.01 respectively). Event if insignificant statistical difference, there was a tendency of larger MLD at proximal and distal reference artery by IVUS measurement than by QCA measurement(3.2+/-0.5mm vs. 3.1+/-0.4mm, p=0.2 : 3.1+/-0.6mm vs. 3.0+/-0.7mm, p=0.2, respectively). The MLD at stented site was significantly larger by QCA measurement than by IVUS measurement(3.2+/-0.6mm vs. 2.9+/-0.5mm, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We concluded 1) the correlation between IVUS and QCA measurements of reference vessel and stented site was reliable. 2) There was a tendency of larger luminal diameter at reference vessel by IVUS than by QCA. 3) The minimal luminal diameter was measured significantly larger at stented site by QCA than by IVUS.
