Fluorescein and fluorescein glucuronide in plasma after intravenous injection of fluorescein.

After intravenous injection of fluorescein the time-course of the plasma concentrations of fluorescein (F) and fluorescein glucuronide (FG) was studied in 18 insulin-dependent diabetics with various degrees of nephropathy, and in two non-diabetic subjects. Fifteen minutes after injection the molar concentrations of free (non-protein bound) F and FG were almost identical. After one hour the concentration curve integrals of the two substances were of the same magnitude. There was, however, considerable interindividual variation. In diabetic patients with renal insufficiency an increase was found in both integrals, the F integral being less increased (27%) than the FG integral (44%). It appears from the variation in absolute and relative concentrations of F and FG that a separate determination of the two fluorophores in plasma is desirable, when F is used by intravenous administration as an indicator of blood-ocular barrier function. Previous observations of an increase with time after injection of the free fraction of plasma fluorescence are explained by the finding of a higher free fraction of FG (34%) than of F (11%) and a change in relative concentrations of the two fluorophores.

Fate of intravenously injected cultured human cancer cells in the lungs of congenitally athymic nude mice.

Three cultured cell lines of human lung cancer with varied degrees of thromboplastic and fibrinolytic activities were injected subcutaneously or intravenously into congenitally athymice nude mice, and their fate was observed with light and electron microscopes. All the cell lines formed solid tumor masses at the sites of subcutaneous injection. When the cancer cells with high or moderate thromboplastic activity were injected intravenously, marked platelet aggregation and fibrin deposition, followed by neutrophilic infiltration, were seen around the cancer cells arrested in pulmonary arterioles or capillaries. Platelet aggregation and fibrin deposition were less conspicuous, when the cancer cells with low thromboplastic activity were injected. No metastatic foci were found 2 weeks after the intravenous injection of each cancer cell line. These results suggest that thromboplastic activity of human cancer cells is closely related to thrombus formation at the sites of lodgement and that thrombus develops without participation of immunological mechanisms.

Cloxacillin distribution in the rabbit eye after intravenous injection.

Distribution of isotopically labelled and intravenously injected cloxacillin was studied in rabbit eye. The antibiotic concentration determined by liquid scintillation counting proved to be a reliable measure of the total antibiotic concentration when controlled by microbiological assay. In the rabbit eye after an intravenous injection of 50 mg/kg of cloxacillin sodium, longlasting antibiotic concentration regarded as therapeutic against penicillinase producing staphylococci was obtained in all vascularized ocular structures and in the cornea. The antibiotic present in the iris and ciliary body, and in the retina and choroid preparations, proved to be partly intravascular, whereas it penetrated better into the extravascular tissue compartment of the sclera and limbal area. Cloxacillin failed to achieve a therapeutic antibiotic concentration in the vitreous body and in the lens. Administration of probenecid had an enhancing effect on ocular cloxacillin concentration allowing improved drug diffusion into the eye by means of an elevated plasma concentration. No specific ocular effect of probenecid was noticed. Therapeutic concentration of cloxacillin in the aqueous humour, otherwise barely achieved, was more satisfactorily obtained with a previous injection of probenecid.

Mercury poisoning from intravenous injection: treatment by granuloma resection.

Intravenous injection of mercury is a rare event. Mercury administered by this route may have several different consequences. In addition to elevated serum mercury levels, the diagnosis may be made by radiographic detection of metallic densities in the chest and at the sites of injection. Death due to mercury intoxication is unusual. Impairment of renal and hepatic function may occur. Our patient presented with gingivitis and a dentoalveolar abscess. Dense granulomas occur at the sites of injection. Treatment for these patients should include granuloma excision as the benefit of chelating agents, for chronic mercury intoxication is questionable. Skin and granuloma resection may leave vital structures exposed, necessitating flap coverage.

The fate of intravenously injected trypsinogens in dogs.

After intravenous injection of autologous purified and radiolabeled anionic and cationic trypsinogens in the dog, there is a multiexponential elimination from serum of the trypsinogens without activation to active trypsins. The results are in agreement with an elimination of the trypsinogens iva glomerular filtration, a variable tubular uptake of anionic trypsinogen, and a complete tubular uptake of cationic trypsinogen. Fractional catabolic rates for anionic trypsinogen were 0.35-0.92 h-1 and for cationic trypsinogen 0.38-1.05 h-1. The total amount of anionic trypsinogen turned over in the circulation is estimated at approximately 0.55 mg every 24 h, and the corresponding figure for cationic trypsinogen is 0.35 mg/24 h.

Toxicity with intravenous injection of naphtha in man.

Intravenous injection of charcoal lighter fluid (naphtha) in a suicidal attempt led to development of severe hemorrhagic pneumonitis in a 40-year-old individual. Presenting symptoms consisted of pleuritic chest pain, epigastric discomfort, and dyspnea; they appeared within 2 hours after injection. Development of roentgenographic changes lagged behind the clinical symptoms by several hours. Fever and leukocytosis were present despite the absence of demonstrable superimposed bacterial infection. The pathology seemed exclusively confined to the pulmonary system with no clinical or laboratory evidence of extrapulmonary involvement. Repeated clinical, radiographic, and pulmonary function evaluations over an 18-month follow-up period have shown complete resolution of pulmonary lesions without residual abnormalities.

[Pharmacologic intolerance reaction after intravenous injection of pethidine].

We report on anaphylactoid reactions (urticae at the injection site and along the injection vein) after intravenous injections of pethidine in two patients. Skin tests with pethidine were negative, but intravenous challenge showed urticae. These results indicate that the reactions were due to a non-immunological mechanism resembling pharmacological intolerance. Retrospective analysis revealed a 5.6% incidence of pharmacological intolerance reactions to intravenous pethidine in 519 patients.

The effect of intravenous injection of lidocaine on the auditory system.

Lidocaine hydrochloride was intravenously injected into guinea pigs. Auditory evoked brain stem response (ABR) to clicks, whole nerve action potential (AP) and summating potential (SP) to clicks and 4 kHz tone bursts, and cochlear microphonics (CM) to 4 kHz tone bursts were recorded during a 60 min period following injection. Injection of a small dosage of lidocaine (4 mg/kg body weight) failed to produce any significant change in ABR wave III, AP and CM. However, a large dosage of lidocaine (20 mg/kg) influenced ABR and AP, but had no observable effect on CM. Latency of ABR wave III was prolonged, but its amplitude remained unchanged. Change in the case of 4 kHz tone burst-evoked AP was more pronounced than that in the case of the click-evoked AP. The 4 kHz tone burst-evoked AP showed an initial increase in amplitude, which was followed by a gradual decrease. Latency of both click and 4 kHz tone burst-evoked AP did not show any changes. The amplitude of SP showed more variation during the course of the test period following lidocaine injection than did either ABR or AP, however, SP decreased in its amplitude approximately 60 min after lidocaine injection. Complete disappearance of ABR and AP, followed by recovery of ABR and AP, was observed in animals given a larger dose (30 mg/kg) of lidocaine. CM did not completely die out, and in fact sustained only about a 75% decay in its amplitude. From the above results, it should be concluded that lidocaine, when injected intravenously, affects ABR and AP significantly more than CM.
