Charcoal hemoperfusion in the treatment of phenytoin overdose.

In the case of phenytoin, a drug that is generally highly protein bound, there is a lack of consensus on the use of charcoal hemoperfusion in cases of overdose. We performed charcoal hemoperfusion on a phenytoin-overdosed patient to assess the effectiveness of this treatment. The plasma concentrations of total and free phenytoin fell rapidly, from 40.0 microg/mL and 3.6 microg/mL to 16.2 microg/mL and 1.5 microg/mL, respectively, after 3 hours of hemoperfusion. The total phenytoin elimination half-life was 3.9 hours. The fraction of protein-bound phenytoin was constant (90.8% +/- 0.5%) before, during, and after the procedure. The relations between the in vitro protein binding and adsorption of phenytoin to activated charcoal were also examined. Interestingly, bound phenytoin was found to dissociate from plasma proteins in the presence of activated charcoal and subsequently became adsorbed to the activated charcoal. Considering that phenytoin is bound to albumin with a large number of binding sites (n = 6) and a small binding constant (K = 6 x 10(3/)mol/L), the extent of adsorption to activated charcoal may depend on the magnitude of the binding constant of the drug to plasma proteins. The current results suggest that charcoal hemoperfusion is effective for the removal of drugs that bind to plasma proteins with a low binding constant.

Changes of serum amylase, its isozyme fractions and amylase-creatinine clearance ratio in dogs with experimentally induced acute pancreatitis.

To investigate the diagnostic application of amylase to canine pancreatic diseases, serum amylase activities, its isozyme fractions and amylase-creatinine clearance ratio (ACCR) were analyzed in normal intact dogs and dogs experimentally induced acute pancreatitis. There was no statistic difference between normal male and female dogs. Amylase specific activities in pancreatic tissue extracts were more than 2,300 times higher than that in serum, and were also higher than those in other tissues; parotid and mandibular salivary glands, lung, heart, liver, spleen, duodenum, jejunum, ileum and kidney. Following the chloroform injection into the pancreatic tissue, WBC increased from 6 to 240 hr and serum glucose significantly increased at 72 and 96 hr, and no urine glucose was detected. BUN as well as serum and urine creatinine showed normal levels. ACCR increased until 96 hr without statistic significance. Serum amylase activities increased significantly after 3 hr and its isozyme was separated into 4 fractions (Amy1-Amy4) in contrast to 3 fractions (Amy2-Amy4) in intact dogs. Since this extra Amy1 seen from 1 hr increasing after 6 hr similarly to other 3 fractions, the evaluation of serum amylase and its isozyme fractions was indicated to be useful for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in dogs.

HPLC-studies on nonmercapt-mercapt conversion of human serum albumin.

Human mercaptalbumin (HMA) and nonmercaptalbumin (HNA) could be separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at neutral pH. Using HPLC, the present authors found the nonmercapt-mercapt conversion (HNA----HMA) during hemodialysis and the mercapt-nonmercapt conversion (HMA----HNA) after hemodialysis in chronic renal failure, indicating HMA as the covalent carrier protein for sulfur-containing amino acids.

[Fundamental and clinical studies of sulbactam/cefoperazone in the pediatric field].

Fundamental and clinical studies were carried out on sulbactam/cefoperazone (SBT/CPZ) in the field of pediatrics. The following results were obtained: A total of 185 clinical isolates that had been stocked at our department was employed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of SBT/CPZ against various bacterial species. SBT/CPZ showed strong antibacterial potency against E. coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella and P. mirabilis, and relatively strong potency against S. marcescens, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. Antibacterial potency of SBT/CPZ was stronger than that of CPZ alone against E. coli, and it also showed strong activity against strains of Salmonella, S. marcescens and S. aureus, moderately or highly resistant to CPZ. SBT/CPZ was administered by intravenous bolus infusion to pediatric patients to determine the serum concentrations of SBT and CPZ. At a dose of 10 mg/kg the mean serum levels of SBT and CPZ were as follows; 17.8 micrograms/ml, 40.7 micrograms/ml at 15 minutes and 0.3 microgram/ml at 6 hours, respectively. The half-lives of SBT and CPZ in the serum were 1.05 hours and 1.76 hours, respectively. Similarly, at a dose of 20 mg/kg the mean serum levels of SBT and CPZ were; 31.9 micrograms/ml, 81.0 micrograms/ml at 15 minutes and 0.5 microgram/ml, 6.1 micrograms/ml at 6 hours, and the half-lives were 1.00 hour and 1.72 hours, respectively. At a dose of 40 mg/kg, only 1 case was determined. The serum levels of SBT and CPZ were 34.4 micrograms/ml, 74.8 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes and 0.2 microgram/ml at 6 hours, and the half-lives were 0.78 hour and 1.38 hours, respectively. SBT/CPZ was drip-infused intravenously over a period of 1 hour, and the serum concentrations of SBT and CPZ were determined. At the dose of 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg, the peak serum levels of SBT and CPZ were observed at 1 hour or at the end of drip infusion. At a dose of 10 mg/kg the mean serum levels of SBT and CPZ were 14.4 micrograms/ml, 33.7 micrograms/ml at 1 hour and 1.4 micrograms/ml, 4.6 micrograms/ml at 7 hours, respectively. The half-lives was 1.86 hours for SBT and 2.23 hours for CPZ, respectively. Similarly at a dose of 20 mg/kg, the mean serum levels of SBT and CPZ were, 22.2 micrograms/ml, 34.6 micrograms/ml at 1 hour and 0.5 microgram/ml, 2.8 micrograms/ml at 7 hours, and the half-lives was 1.17 hours and 1.75 hours, respectively. The urinary recovery rate was determined for the 6 hours period after administration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

[Basic and clinical studies on ceftazidime in the pediatric field].

Basic and clinical studies were made on ceftazidime (CAZ) in pediatric field, and the following results were obtained. The antibacterial activity of CAZ against clinically isolated and maintained strains was examined. CAZ was unequivocally more active than CEZ and CMZ against Gram-negative rods, with MIC distribution similar to that of CTX, except for that for P. aeruginosa. The MIC of CAZ was lower than that of CTX for P. aeruginosa. Compared with the MICs of CEZ, CMZ and CTX, CAZ showed slightly higher MICs for Gram-positive bacteria. The blood concentrations of CAZ, at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after a one shot intravenous injection of 10 mg/kg of CAZ were 64.9, 36.9, 28.3, 14.7, 4.92 and 2.42 micrograms/ml, respectively, with the half-life of 1.27 hours. The blood concentrations of CAZ, at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after a 1-hour drip infusion of 10 mg/kg of CAZ were 16.6, 24.5, 41.4, 17.1, 5.38 and 2.62 micrograms/ml, respectively, with the half-life of 1.28 hours. The blood concentrations of CAZ, at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after a one shot intravenous injection of 20 mg/kg of CAZ were 73.1, 60.8, 39.3, 17.3, 8.23 and 4.45 micrograms/ml, respectively, with the half-life of 1.42 hours. The blood concentrations of CAZ, at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after a 1-hour drip infusion of 20 mg/kg of CAZ were 55.1, 69.0, 32.1, 11.4 and 4.56 micrograms/ml, respectively, with the half-life of 1.27 hours. Urinary recovery rate of CAZ during the first 6 hours after a one shot intravenous injection of 10 mg/kg of CAZ was 86.7%. CAZ was administered to 17 children with infections, and the clinical response was excellent or good in 94%. CAZ was bacteriologically effective in 14 patients, all bacteria having been eradicated in them. The bacteria were E. coli in 10 patients, H. influenzae in 2, P. aeruginosa in 1 and S. pneumoniae in 1. As for side effects, slight elevation in GOT was observed in 1 case and eosinophilia, in another case.

[Experimental and clinical studies of an ampicillin suppository (KS-R1) in pediatrics].

Blood levels of ampicillin (ABPC) were measured in 10 childish patients with heart disease after the rectal administration of KS-R1 at doses of 125 mg and 250 mg. Average blood levels of ABPC at 15, 30 minutes, 1, 2 hours and 4 hours after the administration of KS-R1 were 6.8, 6.9, 3.1, 1.1 mcg/ml and 0.1 mcg/ml with half-life of 0.64 hours in patients of age from 1 year to 4 years 7 months old (dose level 8.9 approximately 13.9 mg/kg, average 10.5 mg/kg), and 5.2, 6.1, 3.4, 1.0 mcg/ml and 0.1 mcg/ml with half-life of 0.65 hours in patients of age from 7 years 10 months to 10 years 7 months old (dose level 8.3 approximately 13.9 mg/kg, average 9.8 mg/kg), respectively. Clinical effective rate (excellent and good) was 87% in 55 childish patients with infections. Bacteriologically, 13 strains (74%) out of 18 strains which were isolated from the patients were eradicated. No severe side effects were observed. Diarrhea was observed in 3 cases.

[Experimental and clinical evaluation of cefpiramide in pediatrics].

Fundamental and clinical studies on cefpiramide (CPM), a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, were made and the following results were obtained. The antibacterial activities of CPM against clinical isolates were almost similar to those of conventional cephems except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antibacterial activity of CPM against P. aeruginosa was excellent and superior than those of the others. Ten or twenty mg/kg of CPM was given intravenously at one shot to 11 cases. The mean serum levels of CPM reached 231 micrograms/ml at 15 minutes, 119 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes, 88 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 65 micrograms/ml at 2 hours and 33 micrograms/ml at 6 hours after administration at a single dose of 10 mg/kg, respectively with the half-life of 3.42 hours. In case of 20 mg/kg, the mean serum levels attained 306 micrograms/ml at 15 minutes, 245 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes, 160 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 118 micrograms/ml at 2 hours and 66 micrograms/ml at 6 hours respectively after administration with the half-life of 5.20 hours. CPM was given intravenously to 12 patients with various bacterial infections. The clinical effects were excellent in 5 cases, good in 6 cases and poor in 1 case and the effective rate was 92%. No side effect was observed in all cases.

[Pharmacokinetics study on gentamicin intravenous drip infusion in children].

Pharmacokinetics of gentamicin in children after intravenous infusion over 60 minutes were compared with that after intramuscular injection. 1. Mean measured peak serum levels after intravenous infusion of 2.5 mg/kg and intramuscular injection of 2.0 mg/kg were 6.1 micrograms/ml at termination of infusion and 6.5 micrograms/ml at 30 or 60 minutes after injection, respectively. Older children showed higher serum levels. 2. There was no difference in serum half-life between both modes of administration. 3. The AUC after intravenous infusion was slightly larger than that after intramuscular injection. 4. It was suggested that the efficacy and safety of the treatment by intravenous infusion in children are comparable to that by the intramuscular injection, and optimum single dose is 1.5--2.5 mg/kg.
