Application of quinidine on rat sciatic nerve decreases the amplitude and increases the latency of evoked responses.
Multi-modality electrophysiological techniques were performed to assess the effects of quinidine on peripheral nerve conduction. ⋯ Quinidine decreases amplitude and prolongs latency in the sciatic nerve in a dose-related manner without local neural toxicity.

The effects of stellate ganglion block on the electroencephalogram in rats.
It is reported that the sympathetic nervous system may play an important role in the arousal response. The present study evaluated the effect of stellate ganglion block (SGB) on electroencephalogram (EEG) activity in rats. ⋯ SGB with 0.2 ml 0.25 % bupivacaine significantly decreased EEG activities in rats. These results suggest that SGB can induce a sedative effect in rats. Further studies are required to investigate the behavioral tests for sedative effects of SGB.

The lowest effective intracuff pressure of the esophagus obstruction tube to prevent reflux of gastric contents: a study on rabbits.
To determine the lowest effective cuff pressure of the esophageal obstruction tube to prevent reflux of gastric contents in rabbits. ⋯ The insertion of an esophageal obstruction tube before endotracheal intubation can be an acceptable method for preventing the reflux of gastric contents in most rabbits under light anesthesia.
