所谓抗癫(癎)"中成药"中暗地添加抗癫(癎)西药成分的调查

目的:调查所谓抗癫癎“中成药”制剂中是否有西药成分。方法:对北大医院癫癎门诊1995-2005年口服“中成药”制剂就诊的癫癎患者进行苯巴比妥、苯妥英钠、卡马西平、丙戊酸钠四种药物的血药浓度监测,并对结果进行分析。结果:在所监测的患者服用的76种“中成药”中,暗中都添加了上述4种西药成分,其中含有一种西药成分有45种,含有二种西药成分有22种,含有三种西药成分有7种,含有四种西药成分有2种。有44种中药添加了苯巴比妥,占的比例最大,其余依次为苯妥英钠、卡马西平、丙戊酸钠。结论:在所谓抗癫癎的“中成药”中暗地里加西药已成为较普遍的现象,严重地侵犯了患者的权益,妨碍抗癫癎的正规治疗,损害了患者的健康。     

Large,Consistent Estimates of the Heritability of Cognitive Ability in Two Entire Populations of 11-Year-Old Twins from Scottish Mental Surveys of 1932 and 1947

Twin studies provide estimates of genetic and environmental contributions to cognitive ability differences, but could be based on biased samples. Here we report whole-population estimates using twins from unique mental surveys in Scotland. The Scottish Mental Surveys of 1st June 1932 (SMS1932) and 4th June 1947 (SMS1947), respectively, administered the same validated verbal reasoning test to almost everyone born in 1921 or 1936 and attending school in Scotland. There were 572 twin pairs from the SMS1932, and 517 pairs from the SMS1947. Information on zygosity was unavailable. A novel application of a mixture distribution was used to estimate genetic and environmental components of verbal reasoning variation by maximum likelihood. We found consistent heritability (~0.70) and shared environment (~0.21) estimates. The estimates did not change substantially when additional quantitative traits (height and weight) were added in a multivariate analysis. More generally for studies in genetics, the methodological innovation developed here implies that large (national) data collections can provide sufficient information on twin pairs to estimate genetic parameters, even without zygosity.     

Is there a non-dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway?

Sixteen per cent of the substantia nigra cell bodies normally labeled from the injection of a fluorescent retrograde tracer in the caudate-putamen complex could still be labeled by the same procedure after multiple intracisternal 6-hydroxydopamine treatments that depleted dopamine levels in the caudate-putamen complex to 1.0% of control. However, the demonstration of glyoxylic-acid-induced catecholamine histofluorescence in tissue from these lesioned rats revealed that many of the surviving retrogradely-labeled substantia nigra cell bodies still contained dopamine. The persistence of some dopamine in the substantia nigra of the lesioned animals was confirmed biochemically. Therefore, retrograde tracing in 6-hydroxydopamine lesioned rats overestimated the extent of the non-dopaminergic nigrostriatal tract.The simultaneous combination of retrograde fluorescent tracing and catecholamine histofluorescence in unlesioned animals revealed that only 5% or less of the substantia nigra cell bodies retrogradelylabeled from the caudate-putamen complex were without catecholamine fluorescence. These apparently non-dopaminergic nigrostriatal cells were located primarily in the ventral tegmental area, substantia nigra pars reticulata and extreme medial edge of the substantia nigra pars compacta.

Intrapleural analgesia in a child with a mediastinal tumour

A case is presented of an eight-year-old child with a mediastinal tumour, who had developed acute renal failure following the institution of steroid therapy. Intrapleural analgesia was successfully used for the insertion of a peritoneal dialysis catheter so that the considerable risks of general anaesthesia were avoided. Subsequent dialysis allowed chemotherapy to commence and, as a result of the shrinkage in tumour size, general anaesthesia was administered safely two days later. The purpose of this report is to highlight the use of intrapleural analgesia in children as an alternative to general anaesthesia, when the latter is contraindicated. The mechanism of action of intra-pleural analgesia and the risks of anaesthesia in the presence of a mediastinal tumour are discussed.     

The Relationship of Diastereomer Hydrolysis Kinetics to Shelf-Life Predictions for Cefuroxime Axetil

Cefuroxime axetil, an ester prodrug of cefuroxime, is comprised of a 50:50 mixture of diastereomers A and B. The first-order hydrolysis kinetics of cefuroxime axetil were investigated as a function of pH, temperature, buffers, and ionic strength. Chromatographically identified hydrolysis products were cefuroxime, ²-cefuroxime axetil, and ,-sulfoxides. Buffer catalysis was observed in acetate and phosphate buffers. No significant kinetic effect was observed for ionic strength in the range µ = 0.1-1.0. The pH–rate profiles for hydrolysis of cefuroxime axetil isomeric mixture were obtained at 45, 35, and 25°C. The equation defining the cefuroxime axetil hydrolysis rate constant as a function of pH was k _obs = k _H(a _H) + k _s + k _OH(K _w/a _H), exhibiting maximal stability in the pH range 3.5 to 5.5. The predicted profile at 5°C was in excellent agreement with experimental data in the pH range 3.6 to 5.5. In the pH range 1 to 9, the maximum difference observed for individual hydrolysis constants of isomers was 27%. Shelf-life estimates based on the hydrolysis rate constants for cefuroxime axetil as an isomeric mixture were shown to be equivalent to those based on individual hydrolysis rate constants for isomers A and B.
