Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of morphine on resistance to infection.
TL;DR: The results suggest that there is a close relationship between the fact that morphine exacerbates infections and thefact that morphine depresses phagocytic functions, and the negative effect of morphine onphagocytosis is at least one of the reasons for its negative effect on the development of infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphine and methadone impact on human phagocytic physiology
Ezio Tubaro,Ustik Avico,Claudio Santiangeli,Piergiorgio Zuccaro,G. Cavallo,Roberta Pacifici,Carlo Croce,Giorgio Borelli +7 more
TL;DR: Human subjects submitted to treatment with morphine show a severe depression of phagocytosis, killing properties and superoxide production both of their polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes, and Methadone-treated subjects show a similar effect atphagocytic level but far less evident.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liver xanthine oxidase increase in mice in three patholgoical models. A possible defence mechanism.
TL;DR: A long-lasting, but not permanent, increase in XO activity was observed in mice during bacterial or protozoal infection or with Ehrlich ascitic carcinoma, and a nonspecific defence mechanism is indicated, probably involving enhanced oxidative processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methadone vs morphine: comparison of their effect on phagocytic functions.
Ezio Tubaro,Claudio Santiangeli,Luisella Belogi,Giorgio Borelli,Giovanni Cavallo,Carlo M. Croce,Ustik Avico +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that methadone, like morphine, reduces R.E.S. activity and PMN superoxide anion production, but unlike morphine it does not produce haematologic changes, and appears to have a lower toxic potentiality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiplatelet effects of a new de-N-acetyl-lyso-glycosphingolipid
Ezio Tubaro,Luisella Belogi,Carlo M. Croce,Giovanni Cavallo,Guiseppina Guida,Giorgio Borelli +5 more
TL;DR: WILD20 antiplatelet effect is due to the interference with ADP or thrombin-induced aggregation, probably via phospholipase A2 (PLA2) blockade; the substance is also effective when arachidonic acid is used as an agonist.
