BBE represents a potential therapeutic anti-angiogenic strategy for treating vascular tumors. 69 ADENOVIRAL-MEDIATED ANGIOPOIETIN-2 OVEREXPRESSION ACCELERATES RE-EPITHELIALIZATION IN IMPAIRED WOUND HEALING F. Lim1, Z. Petko1, M. Herlyn2, and T.M. Crombleholme1. Angiogenesis is essential for tissue repair and regeneration during normal wound healing. Growth factors from the Angiopoietin Ang ; family that are ligands for endothelial cell-specific tyrosine kinase Tie-2 receptors may play important role in the regulation of this process. Whereas angiopoietin-1 Ang-1 ; activates these receptors and promotes cell survival, migration, and sprouting, little information is available regarding how Ang-2 influences cells of the newly forming vasculature and its potential role in wound healing. To evaluate the effect of Ang-2 overexpression in impaired wound healing we set out experiments using adenoviral mediated overexpression of Ang-2 in excisional wounds in genetically diabetic db db ; mice. Two 10mm excisional wounds were created in the dorsum of db db mice and were treated with either 1x10e8 pfu 50 microliters ; of Ad-Ang-2 n 23 ; or Ad-LacZ n 15 ; and similar volume of PBS n 15 ; for control. Animals were sacrificed at 3, 7 and 14 days post-wounding for histological evaluation. Five-micrometer paraffin sections were scored for vascular response measured as number of capillaries per high power field hpf ; , and epidermal reaction. Increased capillary density was observed by day 7 in wounds treated with Ad-Ang-2 7.41.6 hpf ; compared to PBS 2.70.8 hpf; p 0.001 ; and Ad-LacZ 3.41.2 hpf; p 0.004 ; controls. In contrast to the control animals, by day 14 all but one db db mice treated with adenoviral-mediated overexpression of Ang-2 had almost complete re-epithelialization of the excisional wound. The size of the epithelial gap of Ad-Ang-2 18.545.3m ; treated wounds at day 14 was significantly different from both the PBS 4296.61725.3m; p 0.001 ; and the Ad-LacZ 3429.11958.6m; p 0.002 ; control groups. We concluded that adenoviral mediated overexpression of Ang-2 accelerates reepithelialization and overall healing of impaired wounds in db db mice. Alteration in wound healing by Ang-2 overexpression warrants further investigation. 70 EFFECT OF THROMBIN PEPTIDE TP508 ON CULTURED ENDOTHELIAL CELLS SUGGEST A WOUND HEALING MODE OF ACTION THAT INVOLVES REVERSAL OFENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION Barbara Olszewska-Pazdrak, Travis W. Hein * and Darrell H. Carney Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX, * Department of Surgery, Texas A&M Health Science Center, College Station, TX TP508 Chrysalin ; is a non-proteolytic peptide representing a portion of human thrombin involved in receptor binding with cellular effects distinct from those of proteolytically active thrombin. In preclinical studies, TP508 accelerated repair and revascularization of dermal and musculoskeletal tissue, and increased the number of blood vessels in ischemic myocardium. More recent pilot human clinical trials showed that twice-weekly application of TP508 resulted in a significant increase in number of foot ulcers closing by 20 weeks and a near doubling of the rate of healing relative to placebo controls. Studies from a number of laboratories suggest that endothelial dysfunction decreased eNOS activity or increased arginase activity ; induced by hypoxia or pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduces the responsiveness of endothelial cells to angiogenic factors and plays a role in failure of chronic wounds to heal. We therefore hypothesized that TP508 may accelerate wound healing by a process that involves stimulation of NO production or inhibition of the effects of inflammatory cytokines on endothelial dysfunction. Our studies showed that TP508 increased NO production in cultured human endothelial cells ~2-fold over controls. This stimulation was associated with up-regulation of eNOS mRNA expression 3045% ; and enhancement of eNOS phosphorylation at S1177 1.8-fold ; . To address possible TP508 effects on inflammation induced endothelial dysfunction, we analyzed TP508 effects on TNFa-treated endothelial cell cultures. TNFa stimulation caused a 1.7-fold increase in the expression of arginase 1 protein Western Blots ; and arginase 1 mRNA levels determined by real-time PCR ; that was completely blocked by pretreatment of cells with TP508. This TP508 inhibition was dose dependent and specific since TP508 did not block TNFa-stimulated phosphorylation of Erk1 2 and p70S6 kinase. These studies suggest that TP508 may accelerate healing of chronic wounds by restoring NO signaling and reversing inflammatory cytokine effects on endothelial dysfunction. It may be proarrhythmic, although not as frequently as class ia, ic or other class iii drugs and omeprazole.

'As of the writing of these recommendations September 1996 ; , additional antipsychotic agents were expected to reach the market within the next 1 to 2 years. These agents include olanzapine, quetiapine, sertindole, and ziprasidone. No recommendations specific to these newer compounds are included because the level of data on them is more limited than for clozapine and risperidone. Until proven otherwise, the use of these newer compounds, when marketed, should follow the recommendations for antipsychotic agents other than clozapine.

Given via intraperitoneal injections, we used continuous infusion via minipump. This is an important issue when one considers that the terminal half-life of haloperidol is 24 h humans Bezchlibnyk-Butler and Jeffries, 1999 ; and 1.5 h in rats Cheng and Paalzow, 1992 ; . Thus, 24 h after a single dose of haloperidol, D2 occupancy levels remain high in humans Farde et al., 1989; Seeman, 2002 ; , but fall to well below clinically relevant levels in rats Kapur et al., 2000a ; . Our findings demonstrate that continuous antipsychotic treatment and D2 receptor blockade induces neuroadaptations that lead to antipsychotic failure. It is possible, therefore, that much of what is currently known about the neurobehavioural effects of antipsychotic drugs in animals might not apply if antipsychotics are given continuously rather than intermittently. Indeed, merely changing the mode of antipsychotic administration i.e., intermittent vs continuous infusion ; can have markedly different effects Turrone et al., 2003, 2005 ; . Animal studies that use a mode of drug administration that more closely mimics clinical antipsychotic treatment i.e., relatively continuous treatment ; might be more informative about the true effects of these drugs in humans Kapur et al., 2003 ; . Although in the present study with rats haloperidol and olanzapine lost efficacy over time, not all treated patients develop therapeutic tolerance. However, a notable proportion of initially stabilized patients relapse during treatment and this cannot always be explained by nonadherence to treatment. For example, even when medication is guaranteed by depot injection, the average relapse rate at 12 years is still 18 55% Carpenter et al., 1999; Schooler, 2003; De Graeve et al., 2005 ; . Although relapse during continued treatment can be attributed to a number of reasons, our results suggest that an antipsychotic-induced increase in dopamine sensitivity might predispose certain individuals to psychotic relapse. This provides a discrete hypothesis that can be tested in patients. Together, the present findings allow us to propose the following: 1 ; initially, antipsychotics block D2 receptors, and increase dopamine and dopamine turnover in a system where levels of D2 receptors and D2 High receptors are normal. At this stage the balance of agonist i.e., endogenous dopamine-related ; drive and receptor blockade allows the antipsychotic to exert a net antidopaminergic effect. 2 ; With continued treatment, there is a decrease in turnover on the presynaptic side, D2 blockade by antipsychotics is maintained, but both D2 receptor numbers and D2 High sites are elevated. At this later stage, endogenous dopamine drive is potentiated and can more readily oppose the antidopaminergic effects of the antipsychotic. This might explain why antipsychotics so often fail. The challenge now is to identify the neural processes by which dopamine supersensitivity and antipsychotic treatment tolerance develop. At the same time, the biological i.e., increases in D2 receptors and D2 High sites ; and behavioral loss of efficacy in behavioral models ; markers identified here provide targets that can be used to identify strategies to overcome or prevent antipsychotic treatment failure. Vaccinations and anti-malarial tablets can be expensive and you may have to save up for them and oxcarbazepine. REFERENCES 1.

Street et al 1996; Tollefson et al 1997; Tollefson and Sanger 1997 ; . Phase III studies on new antipsychotics in patients suffering from an acute schizophrenic episode are carried out according to high methodological standards but patients are highly selected. This clearly limits a generalisation of the results. Obviously, there is the necessity to bridge the results of phase III studies with experiences in routine clinical use of a new psychopharmacological agent after its introduction. In the meantime, a large amount of clinical experience has been gathered with the new neuroleptics, also from open follow-up trials. It is not possible to relate all details about the multitude of small studies and data; however, some of the more important results will be summarised here. There is a wealth of experience available for risperidone, for example. Risperidone will therefore be focused upon here as an example. It has been demonstrated that the optimal effective and well-tolerated dose of 4-8 mg of risperidone, which has been determined in phase III studies, also holds true for routine clinical use. For example, the average daily dose of risperidone was 4.8 mg in a German open trial Albus et al 1998; Albus et al 1997; Philipp et al 1998 ; . There are also reports about better extrapyramidal tolerability compared with other highly potent traditional neuroleptics risperidone is also a highly potent substance! ; in daily routine use Mackay et al 1998; Marder 1996 ; . However, this advantage may disappear, as is to be expected on the basis of results from phase III studies, as soon as a high dose treatment 10 mg or more ; is needed in some patients. Another advantage of risperidone in these open trials is a shortening of the time spent in hospital, which in turn improves the quality of life of the patient and thus leads to better acceptance of the drug Albright et al 1997 ; . Furthermore, risperidone showed positive effects on cognition, and also better extrapyramidal tolerability, which may also improve compliance Borison 1996; Franz and Gallhofer 1997; Gallhofer et al 1996; Rossi et al 1997; Stip and Lussier 1996 ; . The data from open trials of olanzapine also confirm the atypical profile, amongst other things, as well as subsequent advantages for routine care Beasley et al 1999; Kane 1999; Satterlee et al 1996; Street et al 1996; Tollefson et al 1997 ; . Furthermore, it became apparent that some patients with acute schizophrenia required higher doses than were tested in the phase III studies. Sertindole, whose atypical profile has also been confirmed during routine clinical use, unfortunately had to be subjected to very restrictive prescription regulations until suspected cardiac. Olanzapine is generally well tolerated, and although it is associated with a higher incidence of weight gain than most atypical agents, it has a low incidence of extrapyramidal symptoms eps and oxytetracycline.

The total daily doses for the psychoactive medication regimen at the time dysphagia was diagnosed included risperidone 2 mg daily for psychosis and mood lability, clozapine 500 mg for mood lability, clonidine 0.3 mg for aggression and dyskinesia, and benztropine 1 mg for drooling and extrapyramidal symptoms. The most recent medication change, which occurred the previous month, was an increase in risperidone from 1.5 mg to 2 mg that followed increases in behavioral dyscontrol without an identifiable antecedent. In clinic, Ms. A was not appreciably calmer. The dose was subsequently decreased to the previous dose of 1.5 mg. On follow-up 3 days later, drooling and swallowing difficulties were resolving. Case reports related to dysphagia secondary to atypical antipsychotic use have been reported previously. Two reports involved risperidone use; one followed an increase to a total daily dose of 1.5 mg and resolved with risperidone discontinuation and substitution of olanzapihe 2.5 mg.1 The other occurred following a single 4-mg risperidone dose and resolved after administration of benztropine.4 Dysphagia was also reported 5 days after initiation of olanzapine 20 mg.5 Olanzapineassociated dysphagia resolved with medication discontinuation. Concurrent use of clozapine and risperidone may have predisposed our patient to adverse effects. Clozapine atypicality is thought to be associated with its greater affinity for serotonin 5-HT2A receptors than dopamine D2 receptors and rapid dissociation from the basal ganglia D2 receptors. In addition, its anticholinergic effects may act to moderate the risk of extrapyramidal effects.6 Risperidone has pharmacologic properties resembling those of clozapine, with antagonistic activity primarily at serotonin 5-HT2A and dopamine D2 receptors.7 Concurrent therapy may negatively impact the rapid D2 dissociation times that have been reported8 and increase the potential for adverse effects. We believe this is the first report of dysphagia identified secondary to atypical antipsychotic use in a person with developmental disabilities. The presence of mental retardation is an indication of neurologic impairment, and dysphagia may be overlooked.9 Limited verbal abilities may impede selfreporting. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for this infrequently reported adverse effect in both the general population and those with developmental disabilities, particularly with concurrent therapy regimens!
