I.緒論
1935年v.Meduna9)によつて紹介されたメトラゾールと,1954年Shaw et al.8)によつて紹介されたメジマイドとは,ともに現在実験てんかん痙攣誘発剤としてまたは異常脳波賦活剤として賞用されている。
各種刺激剤に対して,脳内諸機構はその生理解剖学的な特異性によつて異なつた感受性を有し,異なつた反応態度を示すと考えられるので,両剤の誘発様式に差がありうるだろうし,またてんかん脳のごとき器質的機能的に異常な脳ではさらにその反応態度は異なつてくると想像される。
(1) In order to make a comparison of Metrazol and Megimide for inducing seizure discharges, each of these was intravenously given in unanesthetized cats. Thedosage was 10 mg and 2.5 mg/30 sec for Metrazol and Megimide respectively.
a) Body weight should be considered as a significant factor for threshold determination.
b) The minimum dosage and minimum injection times for inducing major seizure were 22.5 mg/kg and 6.3, for Metrazol and 10.0 mg/kg and 11 for Meg-imide respectively.
c) From the standpoint of EEG discharge, Metrazol seizure was of subcortical origin and Megimide seizure was of cortical origin.
(2) Statistical analysis was made in activation of sei-zure discharge of human epileptic and non-epileptic patients who showed no seizure discharge in routine EEG examination. The intravenously given dosage was 1 mg and 0.25 mg/kg/min for Metrazol and Megimide respectively.
a) In epileptic group, more than 90% of activation was obtained by 7 injection times of Metrazol (7 mg/kg in total), and, in contrast, by over 11 injection times of Megimide (over 2.75 mg/kg in total).
b) In non-epileptic group, though all of them had a certain anamnesis of head trauma or neurological symptoms, each of these two dosage induced more than 30% of seizure discharge activation.
c) Both in epileptic and non-epileptic groups, Metrazol tended to activate bilateral diffuse seizure dis-charges more than localized discharges based on the analysis of their threshold and numbers of activation. Vice versa in Megimide.
(3) It is to be stressed that these characteristics of Metrazol and Megimide for activation of seizure dis-charge and pharmacological values were consistent ir-respective of species difference between cat and human, and pathological difference between epileptic and non-epileptic patients.
