[Effect of OU-1308 on uterine motility in pregnant rats and monkeys].

Effect of OU-1308 (17s, 20-dimethyl-6-oxo-prostaglandin E1 methyl ester) on uterine motility in anesthetized rats and monkeys was examined by means of the balloon catheter or open-end catheter method and compared with that of PGF2 alpha. OU-1308 and PGE2 alpha exhibited uterine contractile activity at the dose of 30 micrograms/kg, i.v., on day 8 of pregnancy and 10 micrograms/kg, i.v., on day 20 of pregnancy in rats. In monkeys on day 50 approximately 120 of pregnancy, both compounds enhanced uterine motility at 10 micrograms/kg, i.v. Intragastric administration of OU-1308 at 500 micrograms/kg, however, was without effect in monkeys. These results indicate that when administered intravenously, OU-1308 was as potent as PGF2 alpha in terms of uterine contractile activity in pregnant rats and monkeys.

Comparative study of subjective fatigue between automatic transmission bus drivers and manual transmission bus drivers.

The difference in the physiological condition of drivers of manual transmission buses (MTB) and automatic transmission buses (ATB) was examined from the viewpoint of occupational health. This study was based on a self-administered questionnaire which involved items concerning subjective fatigue complaints. No differences in the mental fatigue and stress between MTB drivers and ATB drivers were observed. Although ATB drivers tended to feel less physical fatigue than MTB drivers, the difference was not statistically significant. From these results, it was suggested that there was little difference in the subjective fatigue between ATB drivers and MTB drivers.

[Reproductive pharmacology of prostaglandins].

Effects of prostaglandins and their analogues in reproduction were investigated using rats and Japanese monkeys. Prostaglandin of the F series exerted uterine contractile, luteolytic, anti-nidation and abortifacient effects. Prostaglandins of the E series exhibited a potent uterine contractile effect, although their luteolytic, anti-nidation and abortifacient effects were much less potent than those of the PGF series. A comparison of animal and human data on prostaglandins and their analogues indicated a good cor-relationship between the uterine contractile effect in animals (rates and monkeys) and the abortifacient or labor inducing effect in humans.
