Abstract

The objective of the present experiments was to determine the specific receptor subtype through which dopamine (DA) receptor agonists relax the lower esophageal sphincter in vitro. Opossum lower esophageal sphincter smooth muscle strips were placed in oxygenated Krebs' solution containing propranolol and cocaine. The tissues were placed at a tension that gave maximum relaxation to electrical field stimulation and were then pretreated with phenoxybenzamine. The effects of DA, and the DA receptor agonists epinine and apomorphine were determined. In addition, agonist responses were studied in the presence of the selective DA2 receptor antagonist domperidone, a mixed DA1/DA2 receptor antagonist metoclopramide, and the selective DA1 receptor antagonists bulbocapnine and SK&F 83566. The DA agonists relaxed the smooth muscle strips in the following order of potency: DA greater than epinine greater than apomorphine. Domperidone did not antagonize DA- or apomorphine-induced relaxation. Metoclopramide failed to alter DA-induced relaxation. Bulbocapnine and SK&F 83566 significantly inhibited the relaxation induced by DA. These data indicate that DA-induced lower esophageal sphincter relaxation in vitro is mediated by DA1 receptors.

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the visual and economic benefits of same-day bilateral cataract surgery versus separate-day bilateral cataract surgery in the United States., Setting: Private practice, Amarillo, Texas, USA., Design: Prospective controlled nonrandomized clinical trial., Methods: A cohort of patients having same-day bilateral cataract surgery was age-matched with a cohort of control patients who had standard separate-day bilateral cataract surgery. The primary outcome was a comparison of the direct cost for the patient, physician, ambulatory surgery center (ASC), and third-party payer., Results: The same-day cohort (42 patients, 84 eyes) had similar baseline characteristics and postoperative outcomes as the control cohort (42 patients, 84 eyes). The same-day cohort had less total distance traveled for care (P = .0039 and P < .0001 for in-town and out-of-town residents, respectively), less total time spent traveling for care (P = .0008 and P < .0001 for in-town and out-of-town residents, respectively), less total number of visits required for care (P < .0001), and less total time for vision recovery (P < .0001) than the control cohort. The physician and ASC reimbursements were lower in the same-day cohort (P = .0028 and P = .0016, respectively), whereas the total physician time spent caring for the patient in surgery was not different between the 2 groups (P = .7310). The total ASC expenses were higher in the same-day cohort (P < .0001). The total third-party payer cost was significantly less in the same-day cohort (P < .0001)., Conclusion: Visual and economic benefits for the patient can be achieved with same-day bilateral cataract surgery in the U.S. at the present time., Financial Disclosure: No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned., (Copyright © 2015 ASCRS and ESCRS.
