Does the 5-HT4 receptor agonist mosapride attenuate NSAID-induced gastric mucosal damage?
These results suggest that the mucosal protective action of mosapride may be mediated by an action on immune cells through the acceleration of ACh release from parasympathetic nerves via the activation of 5-HT(4) receptors, followed by activation of the nicotinic anti-inflammatory system. It appears that the alpha7nAChR may be involved in the antiulcerogenic action of mosapride.
In this large observational study, we found no evidence of an association between preoperative angiotensin blockade and the occurrence of POAF. Adequately powered randomized studies are needed to clarify the best strategy of perioperative ABDT in patients with and without guideline-based indications.
