Rectal premedication in children. Comparison of diazepam with a mixture of morphine, scopolamine and diazepam.

Two hundred and eight healthy children who were to undergo minor elective surgery during halothane, nitrous oxide, oxygen anaesthesia were studied in a double blind investigation to evaluate the sedative and anticholinergic effects of two rectal premedications. Group I received diazepam 0.75 mg/kg rectally; Group II received a mixture of diazepam 0.5 mg/kg, morphine 0.15 mg/kg and hyoscine 0.01 mg/kg rectally. No significant difference was found between the two groups in sedative or anticholinergic effects during induction of anaesthesia or in the postoperative period. No adverse effects were seen.

Radix Angelica Sinensis extracts ameliorate scopolamine- and cycloheximide-induced amnesia, but not p-chloroamphetamine-induced amnesia in rats.

The effects of the methanolic extract of Radix Angelica Sinensis (Umbellifera) (abbreviated as RAS extract) and n-hexane fraction of RAS extract (RAS(H) fraction) on the various drugs-induced amnesia in rats were studied by using passive avoidance task. RAS extract (1 g/kg) significantly prolonged the shortened step-through latency induced by SCOP and CXM, but not PCA. Furthermore, RAS(H) fraction (1 g/kg) also significantly prolonged the shortened step-through latency induced by SCOP and CXM but not PCA. RAS extract at any dose alone did not influence the step-through latency in the training trial produced by non-shocked rats, but it plus PCA prolonged the latency compared with PCA alone. However, RAS(H) fraction (1 g/kg) prolonged the latency in the training trial produced by non-shocked rats, but it plus any induced drugs did not differ from any induced drugs alone. These results suggest that the attenuating effects of RAS extract on the various drugs-induced amnesia were related to the memory processes. n-Hexane fraction of RAS extract might be one of the active fractions of RAS extract in the treatment of amnesia.
