[Genetic polymorphism of isoniazid acetylation in Chilean patients with tuberculosis].

We studied genetic polymorphism of isoniazid acetylation in 47 tuberculous patients treated with 4 drugs between Aug 1987 and Dec 1988. Inactivation of isoniazid was estimated from urine samples after administration of the drug (10 mg/kg). There were 18 slow and 29 fast acetylators. The frequency of the slow mutant gene was estimated at 0.612, which is intermediate between values found in american natives (0.46) and western europeans (0.73). No associations of the presence of slow gene with sex, ABO group, ancestors, socioeconomic level, undernutrition, alcoholism or tobacco consumption were found.

Double-blind parallel comparison of single oral doses of ketoprofen, codeine, and placebo in patients with moderate to severe dental pain.

Ketoprofen, 25, 50, and 100 mg, was compared with 90 mg codeine and placebo for relief of pain due to removal of impacted third molar teeth. Treatment was self-administered as a single oral dose under double-blind conditions in five parallel groups established by a random code in healthy young adults. Based on 129 patient evaluations of pain experience and pain relief, ketoprofen was shown to have a more rapid onset and longer duration of action than codeine. In the derived variables of SPID (Sum of Pain Intensity Differences) and TOPAR (Total Pain Relief), all three doses of ketoprofen, with no dose-related differences among them, were found to provide statistically superior analgesia to codeine and placebo. All five treatments were associated with some adverse reactions.
