Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs impair platelet aggregation and secretion in man, pigs, and rabbits and inhibit platelet thromboxane/prostaglandin synthesis. The present investigation studied the effects of phenylbutazone on platelet aggregation and bleeding times in the horse. Aggregation responses to adenosine diphosphate and collagen were markedly impaired 15 minutes and 2 hours after treatment, but 4 hours after treatment, platelet responses approximated those prior to treatment. The in vivo effect of phenylbutazone correlated with its plasma concentrations. Phenylbutazone, like aspirin, appeared to exert its effect by inhibiting thromboxane/prostaglandin synthesis, because thrombin-induced malondialdehyde formation was inhibited. However, unlike aspirin, free arachidonate-induced malondialdehyde synthesis was reduced but not eliminated, which suggested that phenylbutazone may have more than one site of action. Although collagen-induced platelet aggregation was impaired, a response was still present, and bleeding times were not altered by phenylbutazone treatment. To account for these findings, it is proposed that equine platelets can respond to collagen by thromboxane/prostaglandin independent pathways. The physiologic and pathophysiologic importance of these findings is discussed.  相似文献

Presently, in the United States, there are no nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, except aspirin, that are approved for use in animals intended for food production. Use of phenylbutazone, flunixin meglumine, and dipyrone for treatment of food animals may be considered in special circumstances. Such use requires strict adherence to FDA guidelines for extra-label use of drugs. Flunixin meglumine and phenylbutazone have been shown to have a favorable influence on the course and outcome of certain diseases. This report reviews information concerning the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutics of phenylbutazone and flunixin as they have been used on an experimental basis in food animals.  相似文献

Equine platelet aggregation responses to bovine collagen, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), serotonin, epinephrine, and arachidonate in a platelet aggregometer were recorded. Equine platelets exhibited irreversible aggregation when incubated with ADP at a final concentration of 10 microM and bovine collagen. A secondary aggregation wave was recorded from platelets from certain horses at final ADP concentrations of 1 to 5 microM. Serotonin and arachidonate induced a weak reversible aggregation response, but a response was not observed following epinephrine addition. Equine platelet aggregation was influenced by concentration of anticoagulant (sodium citrate). Platelet aggregation responses at 37 C were indistinguishable from those recorded at 39 C. Platelet aggregation responses also were altered if the aggregation tests were not performed within 4 hours of blood sample acquisition. An assessment of platelet aggregation from multiple blood samples from the same horse indicated that the procedures described provide a reliable method to assess equine platelet aggregation in vitro.  相似文献

Ten adult dogs (5 Beagles and 5 mixed-breed dogs) were inoculated IV with canine platelets containing Ehrlichia platys. Inclusions and morulae of E platys developed in platelets of infected dogs at 10 to 14 days after inoculation, followed by marked thrombocytopenia at 14 to 21 days. Parasitemia and marked thrombocytopenia recurred at 24 to 28 days after inoculation. Increased numbers of megakaryocytes were observed in marrow aspirate smears from infected dogs, indicative of regenerative thrombocytopenia. Prior to infection, platelet-rich plasma from these dogs was determined to have similar aggregatory response to arachidonate. After infection with E platys, the aggregatory response of platelet-rich plasma to collagen or 3 dilutions of adenosine diphosphate was evaluated. A statistically significant (P less than 0.05) inhibition of platelet aggregatory response to the lowest dilution of adenosine diphosphate was detected for mixed-breed dogs, whereas aggregation responses were unchanged in Beagles. Results indicate that platelet activation may occur in dogs with acute ehrlichial infection.  相似文献

Platelet aggregation to collagen, arachidonic acid and adenosine diphosphate was evaluated in six dogs using a whole blood electronic aggregometer. The six dogs were then given phenylbutazone orally according to four different dosage levels and durations of treatment. Aggregation responses were measured at established intervals of time following phenylbutazone administration. Data on untreated dogs indicated that arachidonic acid, at a final concentration of 50 micrograms/mL and collagen, at a final concentration of 5 micrograms/mL, were useful agents for studying whole blood platelet aggregation in the dog, but adenosine diphosphate, at a final concentration of 30 microM was not. The high single dose (900 mg) of phenylbutazone significantly inhibited platelet aggregation to arachidonic acid at 1.5,4,7 and 12 hours following administration. The results indicated that the whole blood electronic aggregometer was of limited value in detecting subtle changes in platelet aggregation. It was concluded, however, that the instrument is potentially useful as a rapid screening aid for detecting canine patients at high risk of platelet-related bleeding problems.  相似文献

Newer cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as firocoxib, are proposed to reduce inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase-1 (COX-1) and avoid undesirable side effects, while continuing to inhibit inflammation associated with COX-2. However, COX selectivity is typically based on in vitro testing, which may not provide sufficient information critical for treatment selection. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics and ex vivo COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition of phenylbutazone, flunixin meglumine, meloxicam and firocoxib. Horses (n = 3) were administered one of the four drugs, in a randomised cross-over design, with 3-week washout periods. For each drug, three doses were given and sampling performed. Drug plasma concentrations, thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were determined. After one dose, TXB2 and PGE2 levels were significantly higher in horses administered firocoxib compared to flunixin meglumine. Following the third dose, TXB2 levels in horses administered firocoxib and meloxicam were significantly higher compared to flunixin meglumine or phenylbutazone; all drugs reduced PGE2 to a similar degree. The mean plasma half-lives were 5.97 ± 0.47, 4.74 ± 0.14, 8.24 ± 3.74 and 47.42 ± 7.41 h for phenylbutazone, flunixin meglumine, meloxicam and firocoxib, respectively. Firocoxib and meloxicam exhibited significantly less COX-1 inhibition compared to flunixin meglumine and phenylbutazone; all drugs inhibited COX-2. The plasma half-life of firocoxib was longer than the other NSAIDs, including meloxicam. Data from this study have important clinical relevance and should be used to inform practitioners’ drug selection of a COX-1 sparing or traditional NSAID and dose selection and to provide knowledge of the duration for the four NSAIDs studied.  相似文献

Injuries sustained by horses during racing have been considered as an unavoidable part of horse racing. Many factors may be associated with the musculoskeletal injuries of Thoroughbred race horses. This study surveyed the amounts of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) in injured horse's biological system (plasma) at Kentucky racetracks from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1996. During that period, there were 84 catastrophic cases (euthanized horses) and 126 noncatastrophic cases. Plasma concentrations of NSAIDs were determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography in injured and control horses. The possible role of anti-inflammatory agents in musculoskeletal injuries of Thoroughbred race horses was investigated by comparing the apparent concentrations of NSAIDs in injured horses to concentrations in control horses. The plasma concentrations of phenylbutazone and flunixin were higher in injured horses than in control horses. Most injured and control horses did not have a detectable level of naproxen in their plasma samples. Further studies must be carried out to determine whether horses with higher plasma concentrations of NSAIDs have an altered risk of musculoskeletal injuries compared with other horses.  相似文献

Weak organic acids possessing anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties--commonly known as aspirin-like drugs--have been used in equine medicine for almost 100 years. These non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be classified chemically into two groups; the enolic acids such as phenylbutazone and carboxylic acids like flunixin, meclofenamate and naproxen. All NSAIDs have similar and possibly identical modes of action accounting for both their therapeutic and their toxic effects. They block some part of the cyclo-oxygenase enzyme pathway and thereby suppress the synthesis of several chemical mediators of inflammation, collectively known as eicosanoids. The available evidence indicates that some of the newer NSAIDs have a reasonable safety margin but further studies are required. The toxicity of phenylbutazone in the horse has been investigated very thoroughly in recent years and it has been shown to cause renotoxicity and, most significantly, ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract when relatively high doses are administered. Several factors may predispose towards phenylbutazone toxicity in the horse, including breed and age, but high dosage is considered to be particularly important. The absorption into, and fate within, the body of NSAIDs are considered and particular attention is drawn to the ways in which these pharmacokinetic properties relate to the drugs' toxicity and clinical efficacy. In reviewing current knowledge of the clinical pharmacology of this important group of drugs, it is hoped to provide the clinician with a rational, scientific basis for their safe and effective use in equine practice.  相似文献

Tissue irritation after intramuscular injections of 4 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents was studied in 5 lactating cows. Preparations containing phenylbutazone, flunixin, metamizole (dipyrone) and ketoprofen were investigated; physiological saline was used as a control substance. Tissue reactions at the injection sites were examined by palpation and by determining serum creatine kinase. A kinetic method based on creatine kinase released from the injured muscle tissue was used, which allowed estimation of the amount of damaged muscle. The metamizole preparation clearly provoked signs of pain all the cows. After flunixin and phenylbutazone injections slight reactions were observed, and ketoprofen and saline did not cause any clinical signs. Some palpatory findings after injections were found for all the preparations except saline. Based on serum creatine kinase, the 2 most irritating preparations were the ones containing flunixin and phenylbutazone. After injections of these 2 substances, the estimated amount of damaged muscle was about 80 grams. The statistical difference between flunixin and phenylbutazone and the other 2 preparations was significant. Physiological saline had no effect on serum creatine kinase. For preparations containing phenylbutazone and flunixin, intravenous administration is recommended.  相似文献

Background: Limited information exists regarding hemostasis in camelids despite the importance of platelet function testing in the accurate identification of platelet disorders. As further importation of llamas to North America is restricted, variability in breeding stock will continue to decrease, potentially leading to an increase in heritable bleeding disorders. Objective: The objective of this study was to measure platelet aggregation responses in clinically healthy llamas and provide baseline data to which abnormal platelet function may be compared in the future. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 39 healthy adult llamas, citrated, and centrifuged to produce platelet‐rich plasma (PRP). Within 4 hours of the blood draw, 20 μL of each agonist reagent were added to 180 μL of PRP. Final concentrations of agonists were 2 × 10?5 M ADP, 0.19 mg collagen/mL PRP, 1 × 10?4 M epinephrine, and 500 μg arachidonic acid/mL PRP. Results: Llama platelets were most responsive to ADP and collagen, with a maximum percent aggregation (mean±SD) of 71.3±18.6% and 55.8±19% and aggregation rates of 9.5±3.9 and 6.7±3.7 cm/min, respectively. Llama platelet aggregation in response to epinephrine and arachidonic acid was minimal to absent. Conclusions: This study is the first of its kind to establish baseline values for platelet aggregation in healthy adult llamas.  相似文献

The medical treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) in the horse is one of the most utilized therapeutic regimens in the equine practice. It is important to understand the anatomy of synovial joints and the pathophysiology of the disease process to treat OA adequately. Once a thorough understanding of the disease process is comprehended the proper combination of systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), intraarticular steroids, viscosupplementation and chondroprotectants can be used to treat the disease and inhibit further progression of degenerative changes to the cartilage surface. The equine practitioner is faced with many choices for controlling inflammation in OA. This review presents the background and appropriate uses of various NSAIDs such as phenylbutazone, flunixin meglumine, ketoprofen, naproxen, and carprofen as well as their associated toxicities. Various steroid formulations exist for intraarticular (IA) administration and much has been learned in the past decade regarding correct dosage, frequency of administrations, indications and toxicity. This review presents IA steroids and their indications in addition to various chondroprotective drugs that also exist to control inflammation and provide viscosupplementation. Data are also given on disease modifying OA drugs such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate that have more recently become available to the equine practitioner.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro the effects of hydrocortisone and aminophylline on adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation in horses. Blood samples from 30 healthy Thoroughbred horses were collected by via jugular venipuncture to assess platelet aggregation. Platelet-rich and platelet-poor plasma were prepared from all samples by centrifugation and divided into three different aliquots. In the first aliquot, platelet aggregation was measured after platelet activation with 1 µM and 0.5 µM ADP (Group A). In the other two aliquots, the effect of a 10 min preincubation with hydrocortisone (Group B) or aminophylline (Group C) on ADP-induced aggregation at final ADP concentrations of 1 µM and 0.5 µM was observed. Platelet aggregation, recorded by an aggregometer, was evaluated by measuring the maximum degree of platelet aggregation and the initial velocities of platelet aggregation were obtained. Our results demonstrated the inhibitory effect of hydrocortisone and the induction effect of aminophylline on equine platelet responses in vitro.  相似文献

Platelet Aggregation in Feline Cardiomyopathy   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Platelet aggregation in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was evaluated in 16 healthy cats and in 10 cats with cardiomyopathy. The minimum threshold concentration of ADP required to induce irreversible (2nd-phase) aggregation was determined in each cat. The minimum ADP concentration needed for 2nd-phase aggregation in platelets from healthy cats ranged from 1 microM to 100 microM ADP, with 56% (9/16) requiring 100 microM ADP. Of the remaining seven normal cats, three had platelets responding irreversibly to 10 microM ADP, and four had platelets responding to 1 microM ADP. In cats with cardiomyopathy, the threshold concentrations ranged from 0.01 microM ADP to 10 microM ADP. Two cats had platelets responding irreversibly to 0.01 microM ADP, whereas another cat had a threshold response at 0.1 microM ADP. Platelets from the remaining seven cats with cardiomyopathy exhibited 2nd-phase aggregation in response to 1 microM ADP (five cats) or 10 microM ADP (two cats). Platelet counts ranged from 210,000/mm3 to 630,000/mm3 in healthy cats and from 218,000/mm3 to 624,000/mm3 in cats with cardiomyopathy. There was no apparent correlation between the platelet count and the magnitude of the threshold aggregation response, as measured by lag phase and slope of the aggregation curves. The results indicate that some cats with cardiomyopathy have platelets that are hyperaggregable to ADP in vitro.  相似文献

The effect of two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (carprofen and ketoprofen) on platelet adhesion and aggregation functions was evaluated by the PFA-100 analyser (Dade-Behring, CA, U.S.A.) using its collagen-adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen-epinephrine (EPI) cartridges. The function of platelets was evaluated in 55 healthy dogs, in 7 dogs treated with ketoprofen and in 31 dogs treated with carprofen in a therapeutic dose for minimum 5 days. The therapeutic doses of carprofen had no effect on the closure time of PFA-100 (which is the marker of platelet function) but ketoprofen caused a significant increase when using collagen-EPI stimulation The closure times for both the healthy (control) and the treated dogs using EPI cartridges were often longer than the upper default cut-off point (300 sec) of the device. The PFA-100 analyser with collagen-ADP cartridges could be a useful tool for veterinary applications including the evaluation of platelet aggregation in dogs treated with NSAIDs. The upper cut-off point of PFA-100 might be extended.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of administering multiple doses of phenylbutazone alone or a combination of phenylbutazone and flunixin meglumine to alleviate lameness in horses. ANIMALS: 29 adult horses with naturally occurring forelimb and hind limb lameness. PROCEDURES: Lameness evaluations were performed by use of kinematic evaluation while horses were trotting on a treadmill. Lameness evaluations were performed before and 12 hours after administration of 2 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment regimens. Phenylbutazone paste was administered at approximately 2.2 mg/kg, PO, every 12 hours for 5 days, or phenylbutazone paste was administered at approximately 2.2 mg/kg, PO, every 12 hours for 5 days in combination with flunixin meglumine administered at 1.1 mg/kg, IV, every 12 hours for 5 days. RESULTS: Alleviation of lameness was greater after administration of the combination of NSAIDs than after oral administration of phenylbutazone alone. Improvement in horses after a combination of NSAIDs did not completely mask lameness. Five horses did not improve after either NSAID treatment regimen. All posttreatment plasma concentrations of NSAIDs were less than those currently allowed by the United States Equestrian Federation Inc for a single NSAID. One horse administered the combination NSAID regimen died of acute necrotizing colitis during the study. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Administration of a combination of NSAIDs at the dosages and intervals used in the study reported here alleviated the lameness condition more effectively than did oral administration of phenylbutazone alone. This may attract use of combinations of NSAIDs to increase performance despite potential toxic adverse effects.  相似文献

A recently identified intrinsic platelet function defect in 2 Spitz dogs is described. Both affected dogs had a history of chronic intermittent bleeding primarily from the nasal, oral, and gastrointestinal mucosa. Platelet aggregation in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), collagen, and platelet activating factor (PAF) was absent; however, platelet shape change did occur. Platelets aggregated in response to gamma thrombin, although a delayed onset and a reduced velocity of aggregation were present. Platelet 14C-serotonin release was diminished in response to collagen and PAF. Glycoprotein Illa was detected on the surface of platelets by flow cytometry. Platelets were morphologically normal under light and electron microscopy. Two male Spitz dogs, related to one of the affected dogs, did not have a bleeding diathesis. Collagen-induced platelet aggregation, however, was diminished in these 2 dogs. This platelet defect most closely resembles the defect described in Basset hounds.  相似文献

Platelet activating factor is a multifaceted mediator of inflammation capable of stimulating platelet aggregation as well as anaphylaxis, neutropenia and numerous other in vitro and in vivo cellular changes. This lipid mediator, or autocoid, is released by a wide variety of inflammatory cells following an equally diverse group of cellular stimuli including phagocytosis or antigenic stimulation. The synthesized form of PAF is acetyl glyceryl ether phosphorylcholine (AGEPC). In this study AGEPC aggregated bovine platelets in a dose dependent manner. Maximal, irreversible aggregation occurred at 3.6 × 10?11 M AGEPC with unwashed platelets and at 8.8 × 10?12 M AGEPC with washed platelets. Aggregation failed to occur when platelets were tested with the biologically inactive structural analog of AGEPC. The possible contribution by platelet cyclooxygenase products was eliminated by showing lack of platelet aggregation to arachidonic acid and also by pretreating platelets with aspirin.  相似文献

Blood obtained from Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) by cardiac puncture was used to develop a method for preparing platelet suspensions suitable for biochemical and aggregometric studies. The aggregation responses of gerbil platelet suspensions to 10 microM adenosine diphosphate and to 0.2 U/mL thrombin were immediate and irreversible. In addition, thrombin produced a short lag period. Bovine acid-soluble collagen (1:800) produced a long lag period coupled with an irreversible aggregation. Indomethacin (10 microM) significantly depressed adenosine diphosphate--induced aggregation but had no effect on thrombin-induced aggregation. Indomethacin significantly prolonged the lag period and reduced the rate of collagen-induced aggregation. Our results strongly indicate that platelet suspensions from the Mongolian gerbil, an animal which is responsive to hypercholesterolemic diets, may be useful in studying dietary lipid factors which influence platelet aggregation.  相似文献

Whole blood platelet counts, coagulation profiles and in vitro platelet function tests were monitored in newborn foals during the first week of life. Platelet counts, mean platelet volumes and thrombin-induced malondialdehyde production were not different from adult mares. Prothrombin and partial thromboplastin times were slightly, but not significantly, longer for neonatal blood samples than for mare samples. Platelet aggregation responses to serotonin, arachidonic acid or adrenaline did not change during the study. On the other hand, adenosine diphosphate-induced aggregation and collagen-induced aggregation increased progressively over the first week of life. Adrenaline exposure diminished adenosine diphosphate-induced aggregation only during the first 12 h of life. The results of this study indicate that the haemostatic mechanisms of equine neonates are immature at birth and that, during the maturation period, the equine neonate may be at risk of platelet-associated haemorrhagic disorders.  相似文献
