ABSTRACT Gloria E. Malpass. INTERACTION of MEMANTINE with ETHANOL CONSUMPTION and DOPAMINERGIC FUNCTION in HIGH ETHANOL PREFERR ABSTRACT Gloria E. Malpass. INTERACTION OF MEMANTINE WITH ETHANOL CONSUMPTION AND DOPAMINERGIC FUNCTION IN HIGH ETHANOL PREFERRING RATS. (Under the supervision of Dr. Brian A. McMillen) Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, November 2009. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists have been reported to decrease ethanol consumption in rodents, but these drugs often produce adverse side effects. Memantine is a neuroprotective and low-affinity, noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist shown to be an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease with a favorable clinical profile. This study investigated effects of memantine on volitional ethanol consumption in the Myers’ high ethanol preferring (mHEP) rat using a two-choice 24 hour access paradigm. Memantine was found to reduce ethanol consumption in an apparent dose-dependent manner. Behavioral experiments indicated that memantine, at a dose shown to decrease ethanol consumption, did not adversely affect locomotor ability and activity, induce sedation, or add to ethanol-induced hypothermia. Previously, ethanol has been shown to alter levels of dopamine metabolism (DA) in brain regions receiving DA input in the DA reward pathway. Therefore, high performance liquid chromatrography (HPLC) was used to compare levels of DA metabolism in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), nucleus accumbens (NAc), and striatum (STR) of rats treated with saline, memantine (10.0 mg/kg, i.p.) and/or ethanol (1.0 or 2.5 g/kg, i.p.). No significant treatment effects were detected in levels of DA or its metabolite, 3,4- dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC). Ethanol (2.5 g/kg) increased striatal DOPAC to levels bordering on significance, but mematine clearly produced no effect. To determine if memantine alters ethanol intake via signaling downstream of activation of the DA D1 receptor, Western blots were used to compare effects of the same treatments on levels of DARPP-32, a protein implicated as an intracellular regulator in ethanol reward, and its phosphorylation at Thr34 and Thr75 sites in the mPFC, NAc, and STR. Bands for phospho-DARPP-32 (Thr34) in the mPFC were undetectable. All other blots indicated no significant treatment effects on levels of DARPP-32 or its phosphorylation at Thr34 and Thr75 sites. Together, these results suggest that mechanisms which do not involve glutamate and the NMDA receptor may also activate ethanol reward in the mHEP rat, and a mechanism not downstream of the DA D1 receptor is involved. The effect of memantine on consumption of ethanol does not involve modification of the DA/DARPP- 32 signaling system. ©Copyright 2009 Gloria Elaine Malpass INTERACTION OF MEMANTINE WITH ETHANOL CONSUMPTION AND DOPAMINERGIC FUNCTION IN HIGH ETHANOL PREFERRING RATS A Dissertation Presented To The Faculty of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmacology and Toxicology by Gloria Elaine Malpass November, 2009 INTERACTION OF MEMANTINE WITH ETHANOL CONSUMPTION AND DOPAMINERGIC FUNCTION IN HIGH ETHANOL PREFERRING RATS by Gloria Elaine Malpass APPROVED BY: DIRECTOR OF DISSERTATION: _________________________________ Brian A.

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Investigate the morphological effects of chronic exposure to tobacco smoke inhalation and alcohol consumption on the lungs and on the growth of rats. METHODS: Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control, tobacco, alcohol, tobacco + alcohol, for a period of study 260 days. Morphological analysis was conducted by optical and electron microscopy. Rat growth was investigated by measuring the snout-anus length, body mass index and body weight. RESULTS: The three groups exposed to the drugs presented lower growth and lower weight than the control group. The percentages of alveolitis, bronchiolitis and the mean alveolar diameter were greater, particularly in the groups exposed to tobacco smoke, but were not significantly different from the control group.

Journal of Contemporary Studies in Epidemiology and Public Health. 2020;1(1):ep20002. https://doi.org/10.30935/jconseph/8441 ABSTRACT The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has triggered the world’s worst public health challenge in the last 100 years. In response, many countries have implemented disease control measures such as enforced quarantine and travel restrictions. These measures have inadvertent adverse effects on the mental health and psyche of populations. Long-term social isolation is associated with alcohol use and misuse, creating a potential public health crisis. Alcohol and its intermediate products of metabolism have a multisystemic effect with an impact on the liver, heart, lungs as well as other organs in the body. Similarly, COVID-19 mediate a damaging effect on organ systems through cytopathic effects and cytokine storm. Alcoholism potentially increases the risk of cardiac injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis, and liver damage in synergy with COVID-19; thereby worsening disease prognosis and outcome.

  • The Effect of Alcohol Consumption on Risk for Sepsis and ARDS
    The Effect of Alcohol Consumption on Risk for Sepsis and ARDS E. L. Burnham, M. Moss, and G. S. Martin I Introduction Alcohol is the most frequently abused drug throughout the world, and alcohol-re­ lated problems are a common occurrence among patients admitted to hospitals and intensive care units (ICUs). Alcohol affects all tissues of the body. Its effects on im­ mune function and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) remain topics of active investigation. In regard to immune function, alcohol consumption alters the response at several points along the inflammatory cascade. Due to these potent modulating effects on immune function, alcoholic patients have an increased incidence and severity of infection, particularly in the lung. This association be­ tween alcohol use and infection is especially evident in the post-operative setting. Among patients with sepsis, a prior history of chronic alcohol abuse confers a sig­ nificant increase in the likelihood of respiratory dysfunction and development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Chronic alcohol abuse similarly in­ creases the mortality from ARDS. One possible mechanism by which chronic alco­ hol abuse may increase susceptibility to acute lung injury (ALI} is through altera­ tions in pulmonary glutathione homeostasis. This chapter discusses the immuno­ modulatory effects of alcohol and the epidemiological and experimental evidence associating chronic alcohol abuse, sepsis, and the development of ARDS. I Background Alcohol is the most commonly abused drug in the world, with approximately half the US population consuming alcohol regularly. Fifteen to twenty million individuals meet the criteria for alcoholism [ 1]. The economic cost of alcohol in the USA is around $100 billion (USD), with > 10% of this cost directly attributable to medical services [2].

Summary. The purpose of this review article is to prove the damage that alcohol causes to the respiratory system. We will make a brief review of alcohols history in the course of the centuries till nowadays. The problem of addiction to alcohol (alcoholism) will be examined for several countries. Alcohol’s metabolism is another topic to be discussed parallel to its pharmacological action. In addition, alcohol’s impact on the respiratory system varies from damaging the mucociliary system to the regulation of breathing and from the sleep apnea syndrome to diffusion disorders. “Alcoholic lung disease” constitutes a syndrome despite the fact that the damage of the lung due to concurrent smoking and drug use is often indistinguishable.
