Background: Renin-angiotensin systems (RAS) are involved in the physiology of migraine. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. We tested whether ramipril has an effect on migraine. Methods: The study was designed as a prospective open-labeled trial in a single center. All patients were asked to maintain a headache diary. Ramipril was administered at 5mg/day (2.5mg twice a day) and subjects were checked every 4 weeks up to 12 weeks. Results: The mean number of headache days was 19.9 ± 11.2 days per month at baseline, and 12.0 ± 11.5 at 12 weeks (p<0.001 vs. baseline) with a responder rate of 41.9%. Stratified analysis by migraine frequency (15 days a month > vs. <15 days a month) did not show a difference. Mean blood pressure was not altered. Conclusions: Ramipril prevented migraine attacks independently from blood pressure. This result supports a link between renin-angiotensin system and migraine pathophysiology (Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01402479).

Extravasation of toxic chemotherapeutic 'agents cause severe skin ulceration and necrosis which often need secondary surgical intervention. Still, there were not established antidote agent in case of extravasation with mitomycin-c. Dimethyl sulfoxide is known as an effective chemical scavenger of toxic hydroxyl free radical and sodium thiosulfate also was demonstrated significant protector from mitomycin-c induced ulceration by a few experimental studies. Author investigated necrotic area of mitomycin-c injected site and compare to the effectiveness of topical treatment with dimethyl sulfoxide and intradermal injection of sodium thiosulfate according to starting times, forty five mice were divided into 3 groups. Control group(n=5) had no treatment after subcutaneous injection of mitomycin-c. Experimental group I and 11 were 20 mice treated dimethyl sulfoxide and sodium.
