Abstract

Forty patients having fixed drug eruptions were subjected to provocation tests. Twelve patients failed to complete the provocation tests while in the remaining, the causative drugs were shown to be tetracyclines (6), analgin (metamizole) (6), oxyphenbutazone (5), phenobarbitone (4), sulphadiazine (3), sulphaphenazole (2), penicillin (1), suphadimethoxone (1), Saridon (1), sulphadimidine (1) and sulphamethoxypryridazine (1). There was evidence of cross-sensitivity between tetracycline and demethylchlortetracycline and also between exyphenbutazone and phenylbutazone, but not between different sulphonamides, In 2 cases, the minimum dose of the drug capable of reactivating the lesions was 100 mg of sulphadiazine and 50 mg of Saridon respectively.

High-performance capillary electrophoresis of unsaturated oligosaccharides derived from glycosaminoglycans by digestion with chondroitinase ABC as 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone derivatives.

This paper proposes a new method for simultaneous analysis of unsaturated disaccharides derived from glycosaminoglycans by enzymatic digestion with chondroitinase ABC, based on high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) of their 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone derivatives. The O-sulphate group is stable in this derivatization, and this method allows reproducible microdetermination of glycosaminoglycans. This paper also demonstrates the applicability of this method to estimation of urinary chondroitin sulphates. Urinary creatinine as an inherent internal standard could also be estimated by HPCE, though in another mode of separation, i.e. ion-exchange electrokinetic chromatography.

Accelerated improvement of alcoholic liver disease with enteral nutrition.

This prospective study compared the effects of tube-fed nutrition with those of a regular diet in alcoholic liver disease. The high prevalence of malnutrition in patients with alcoholic liver disease requires clarification of the benefits of aggressive nutritional support. Patients were randomly assigned a regular diet without or with tube-fed supplementation, delivering 1.5 g/kg protein and 167 kJ/kg daily. Comparisons of encephalopathy, antipyrine clearance, metabolic rate, and biochemical parameters were performed weekly for 4 weeks. Sixteen patients receiving enteral supplementation had antipyrine half-life (50% vs. 3% reduction), serum bilirubin (25% vs. 0% reduction), and median encephalopathy scores that improved more rapidly than those of controls. Initially, 15 controls did not consume adequate calories to meet measured resting energy expenditure. Aggressive nutritional intervention accelerated improvement in alcoholic liver disease. Adverse effects did not offset the demonstrated benefits of a 2-cal/mL, casein-based tube-fed supplement. These findings support the use of standard, casein-based solutions in the treatment of alcoholic liver disease and as the control condition for future studies.
