Abstract

Using healthy rabbits, medial and lateral rectus muscles were recessed. Classical Swann incisions, along with limbal incisions with and without conjunctival recession, were performed. The second variable of reactability of suture material, utilizing absorbable 6-0 chromic and nonabsorbable 6-0 tycron sutures, was tested. Using a 9-0 nylon marking suture for documentation of area of recession, anterior advancement could be accurately measured. Five months after surgery, the animals were sacrificed, and each muscle was examined. Regardless of incision perfored and regardless of suture type used, no anterior advancement of retroplaced muscles occurred.

A new bioabsorbable material for rat vascular cuff anatomosis: establishment for the long-term orthotopic liver transplantation model.

Rat vascular anastomosis was performed using a newly synthesized bioabsorbable material (LA-GA copolymer) cuffs and the ordinary polyethylene cuffs. The LA-GA copolymer cuff which anastomosed the portal vein and the inferior vena cava were patent and developed no collateral veins even after 6 months, keeping the transplanted liver normal. By contrast, the polyethylene cuff anastomosed portal vein was completely occluded and the collateral veins were highly developed, with the transplanted liver showing the fatty degeneration of hepatocytes and numerous regenerative nodules. It is concluded that the LA-GA copolymer cuff is a suitable material for the short and long term study of rat orthotopic liver transplantation.

Models for describing absorption rate and estimating extent of bioavailability: application to cefetamet pivoxil.

Five absorption rate models have been compared for describing cefetamet data in 34 adults after oral administration of cefetamet pivoxil with food alone or in combination with either an antacid or an H2 antagonist. A sequential zero- then first-order input process provided the most flexible description of the absorption rate of cefetamet. If the first-order rate constant is linked to the zero-order input parameters the model can be interpreted as the consequence of solubility-limited absorption. While a sequential input is theoretically reasonable to assume, the first-order process appeared to be independent of the zero-order input. A population-based approach was applied to estimate the effect of dose and gastric pH increase on absorption and disposition. There appeared to be a dose-associated change in several parameters. The most marked change was an increase in volume of distribution of cefetamet. Treatments expected to increase gastric pH slowed the first-order component of the absorption process. Three models for estimating the extent of bioavailability have been compared using observations from 18 adults and 13 children receiving iv cefetamet and oral cefetamet pivoxil on two separate occasions. The most consistent estimates of the disposition parameters and the extent of bioavailability were achieved with the sequential zero- and first-order model under the assumption that steady state volume of distribution and nonrenal clearance were the same after iv and oral treatment.

Smooth nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation for population pharmacokinetics, with application to quinidine.

The seminonparametric (SNP) method, popular in the econometrics literature, is proposed for use in population pharmacokinetic analysis. For data that can be described by the nonlinear mixed effects model, the method produces smooth nonparametric estimates of the entire random effects density and simultaneous estimates of fixed effects by maximum likelihood. A graphical model-building strategy based on the SNP method is described. The methods are illustrated by a population analysis of plasma levels in 136 patients undergoing oral quinidine therapy.
