Abstract

Clinically used dosage regimen of nitroxoline, three times 100 mg daily, was proved to be inappropriate because the successfulness of medical treatment was rarely sufficient. Nitroxoline, used as urinary antiseptic, exhibits its antibacterial activity in concentrations higher than 6 mg/l, as demonstrated in many "in vitro" experiments. This work deals with the most appropriate nitroxoline dosage form as well as with the optimal dosage regimen design. The data were obtained by the aid of the suitable pharmacokinetic model and multiple dosing simulation on analog-hybrid computer EAI 580. From the several studied alternatives two usable dosage forms with the necessary dose and corresponding dosage interval were selected.

[Family practice management in urethritis. II. Comparison of clinical management to the protocol].

OBJECTIVE: To describe general practitioners' approach to and management of urethritis in men, and to compare this with a general practice protocol for urethritis. DESIGN: Descriptive. SETTING: General practices in Amsterdam. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 13 general practices in Amsterdam (23,510 patients, of whom 11,627 men) all episodes of urethritis in men (n = 55) were recorded during one year (complaints, medical management, diagnosis, medication, follow-up). OUTCOME MEASURES: Description of the diagnostic and therapeutic approach and the course of episodes; rough comparison with the urethritis protocol. RESULTS: In 25% the urine sediment was examined; other office tests were rarely performed. In 30 to 40% out of office microbiological tests were performed. In 50% of new diagnoses medication was underdosed, in some cases medication was wrong or not broad enough. In 25% explicit education was offered. In 22% new medication was given in the follow-up encounter. CONCLUSIONS: (Comparison with protocol.) Urine sediment examination as an effective test is performed insufficiently often. Other office tests are rarely performed, in accordance with the protocol. Out of office microbiological tests are performed too often, judged by the few changes of diagnosis and the character of new medication in the follow-up. First treatment is often underdosed and sometimes wrong. First treatment should preferably be broad, adequately dosed and independent of out of office microbiology. Too little education is given concerning the risks of ascending infections in female partners and of HIV infection. The referral rate is very low. It is important to pay attention to the outcome of this study in (postgraduate) education for general practitioners, as they treat the vast majority of urethritis patients.

Determination of cefixime and its metabolites by high-performance capillary electrophoresis.

Cefixime (CX), an oral cephalosporin antibiotic, and its metabolites in human digestive organs were separated by various modes of high-performance capillary electrophoresis. The zone electrophoresis mode in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) containing 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulphonate gave the best separation, permitting the complete resolution of CX and all of five metabolites. On the other hand, the plain zone electrophoresis mode in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) offered a simple procedure for the direct determination of urinary CX concentration using intact urine samples.
