Sevoflurane. Sevoflurane, l,l,l,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propyl fluromethyl ether [28523-86-6] is nonpungent, suggesting use in induction of anesthesia. The blood/gas partition coefficient is less than other marketed products (Table 1) yet similar to nitrous oxide, suggesting fast onset and recovery. In animal studies, recovery was faster for sevoflurane than for isoflurane, enflurane, or halothane (76). Sevoflurane is stable to light, oxygen, and metals (28). However, the agent does degrade in soda lime (77). 

Dismption of the endothehal surface of blood vessels expose coUagen fibers and connective tissue. These provide surfaces that promote platelet adherence, platelet release reaction, and subsequent platelet aggregation. Substances Hberated from the platelets stimulate further platelet aggregation, eg, adenosine diphosphate maintain vasoconstriction, eg, serotonin and participate in blood coagulation, eg, platelet Factors III and IV. In addition, the release reaction modifies platelet membranes in a manner that renders phosphoHpid available for coagulation. The thrombin [9002-04-4] elaborated by the coagulation mechanism is a potent agent in the induction of the platelet release reaction. 

The ex vivo IL-6 and TNF-inducing activities of fractionated and modified or unmodified poly(MA-CDA) were performed according to the method reported [26] and shown in Figs. 12 and 13, respectively. A similar tendency was shown in IL-6 and TNF induction from peripheral whole blood cells by those of poIy(M A-CDA). 

The pretreatment of MH-susceptible patients with oral or intravenous dantrolene prior to surgery in order to avoid a crisis is controversial. Most physicians do not recommend prophylactic pretreatment except in patients who have had a previously documented episode. However, if pretreatment is desired, it is recommended that therapy be begun with intravenous dantrolene in a dose of 2 mg/Kg just prior to induction of anesthesia. This prevents the uncertainty of predictive blood values associated with the use of the oral route. The adverse effects of intravenous dantrolene prophylaxis include phlebitis and tissue necrosis. Patients who receive prophylactic treatment with oral dantrolene often complain of incapacitation, gastrointestinal irritation, prolonged drowsiness, and clinically significant respiratory muscle weakness. 

Agarwal et al. 1978), the quantification of these specific enzymes may indicate that exposure to endosulfan has occurred. Blood tests, such as decay curves for aminopyrine in plasma, which are semiquantitative indices of liver enzyme induction, have been used successfully in the past to demonstrate enzyme induction in pesticide-exposed workers. Because numerous chemicals found at hazardous waste sites also induce these hepatic enzymes, these measurements are not specific for endosulfan exposure. However, measurements of enzyme activity, together with the detection of the parent compound or its metabolites in tissue or excreta, can be useful indicators of exposure. All of these potential biomarkers require further verification in epidemiological studies. Further studies with focus on the development of methods to separate and measure the estrogenicity of endosulfan in in vitro assays would be valuable since these assays are more sensitive and discriminative than other conventional biomarkers. Preliminary results have been presented by Sonnenschein et al. (1995). 

PNMT catalyzes the N-methylation of norepinephrine to form epinephrine in the epinephrine-forming cells of the adrenal medulla. Since PNMT is soluble, it is assumed that norepinephrine-to-epinephrine conversion occurs in the cytoplasm. The synthesis of PNMT is induced by glucocorticoid hormones that reach the medulla via the intra-adrenal portal system. This special system provides for a 100-fold steroid concentration gradient over systemic arterial blood, and this high intra-adrenal concentration appears to be necessary for the induction of PNMT.

Lipoxygenases catalyse the regio-specific and stereoselective oxygenation of unsaturated fatty acids. The mammalian enzymes have been detected in human platelets, lung, kidney, testes and white blood cells. The leukotrienes, derived from the enzymatic action of the enzyme on arachidonic acid, have effects on neutrophil migration and aggregation, release of lysosomal enzymes, capillary permeability, induction of pain and smooth muscle contraction (Salmon, 1986).
