The effects of oral salicylate on serum uric acid levels.

Thirteen males and six females were given 40 grains of oral salicylate daily for six days. The serum uric acid of 16 of the 19 subjects fell, the mean post-treatment level being 1.1 mg. % less than the control mean. In five males and five females, administration of 20 grains of oral salicylate daily for six days resulted in a uniform rise of serum uric acid, the post-treatment mean being 1.4 mg. % above the pretreatment mean. Salicylate therapy in common dosage may therefore falsely elevate or depress serum uric acid levels. An accurate evaluation of a serum uric acid level can be made only if the patient is not under the influence of salicylates.

Therapeutic trial of a pyrazole derivative, KB-95, for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

A phenylbutazone-like pyrazole derivative, Sandoz KB-95, claimed to have antiserotonin, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, was tested on patients with rheumatoid arthritis. A double-blind study on 17 patients with definite or classical rheumatoid arthritis was performed for two-week periods on both KB-95 and placebo. Grip strength, the time to walk 50 feet, the number of other analgesic tablets taken daily, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and a subjective rating of pain were the parameters of measurement. KB-95 failed to produce significantly more improvement than the placebo in this trial and was therefore considered not to be a useful drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. No acute toxic effects were observed to this dose of 300 mg. given three times daily.
