Does transdermal nitroglycerine enhance spinal neostigmine postoperative analgesia following gynecological surgery?
Although neither intrathecal 5 microgram neostigmine alone nor transdermal nitroglycerine alone (5 mg/day) delayed the time to administration of first rescue analgesics, the combination of both provided an average of 14 h of effective postoperative analgesia after vaginoplasty, suggesting that transdermal nitroglycerin and the central cholinergic agent neostigmine may enhance each other's antinociceptive effects at the dose studied.
These results indicate that the expression of DBC1 and BRCA1 are closely related with in the progression of ovarian carcinomas and may have clinical utility in the prediction of prognosis of ovarian carcinomas. Especially, DBC1 expression could be employed as a significant prognostic indicator for ovarian carcinomas especially in high-grade serous carcinomas.
