Influence of Hemorrhagic Shock Followed by Crystalloid Resuscitation on Propofol: A Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Analysis

Background: Previous work has demonstrated that ongoing hemorrhagic shock dramatically alters the distribution, clearance, and potency of propofol. Whether volume resuscitation after hemorrhagic shock restores drug behavior to baseline pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics remains unclear. This is particularly relevant because patients suffering from hemorrhagic shock are typically resuscitated before surgery. To investigate this, the authors studied the influence of an isobaric bleed followed by crystalloid resuscitation on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of propofol in a swine model. The hypothesis was that hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation would not significantly alter the pharmacokinetics but would influence the pharmacodynamics of propofol.

Methods: After approval from the Animal Care Committee, 16 swine were randomly assigned to control and shock-resuscitation groups. Swine randomized to the shock-resuscitation group were bled to a mean arterial blood pressure of 40 mm Hg over a 20-min period and held there by further blood removal until 42 ml/kg of blood had been removed. Subsequently, animals were resuscitated with lactated Ringer's solution to maintain a mean arterial blood pressure of 70 mm Hg for 60 min. After resuscitation, propofol (750 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1) was infused for 10 min. The control group underwent a sham hemorrhage and resuscitation and received propofol at the same dose and approximate time as the shock-resuscitation group. Arterial samples (20 from each animal) were collected at frequent intervals until 180 min after the infusion began and were analyzed to determine drug concentrations. Pharmacokinetic parameters for each group were estimated using a three-compartment model. The electroencephalogram Bispectral Index Scale was used as a measure of drug effect. Pharmacodynamics were characterized using a sigmoid inhibitory maximal effect model.

Results: The raw data demonstrated minimal differences in the mean plasma propofol concentrations between groups. The compartment analysis revealed some subtle differences between groups in the central and slow equilibrating volumes, but the differences were not significant. Hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation shifted the concentration effect relationship to the left, demonstrating a 1.5-fold decrease in the effect-site concentration required to achieve 50% of the maximal effect in the Bispectral Index Scale.

Multiclefted nuclei. A helpful feature for identification of intermediate trophoblastic cells in uterine curetting specimens.

Intermediate trophoblast is a distinct form of trophoblast, the presence of which in uterine curettings is considered a reliable indicator of intrauterine pregnancy even in the absence of chorionic villi. However, the appearance of intermediate trophoblastic cells have not been described in sufficiently specific terms to permit their reliable identification, and distinction from decidual cells can be difficult. We have noticed for some time that the intermediate trophoblastic cells often show multiple deep clefts in the nuclei, and the present study was performed to address the issue of whether this nuclear feature is reliable for their identification. We reviewed 242 uterine curettings of intrauterine pregnancy, documented by the presence of chorionic villi, and were able to find a distinct population of cells with large, hyperchromatic, multiclefted nuclei scattered in the decidua in 88% of the cases. In most instances, these cells produced a characteristic variegated pattern that was readily recognizable at low magnification. Positive immunostaining for cytokeratin (CAM 5.2) in these isolated cells within the decidua confirmed their trophoblastic nature. In contrast, multiclefted nuclei were absent in the 51 negative control cases, which included decidualized endocervical polyps (40 cases), uterine curettings from patients with tubal pregnancy (10 cases), and endometriosis with decidual change (one case). We conclude that intermediate trophoblastic cells can usually be reliably identified in curettings of intrauterine pregnancy by their characteristic nuclear multiclefting.     

Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay of Pro-gastrin-releasing Peptide for Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients in Comparison with Neuron-specific Enolase Measurement

Our previous study demonstrated that pro-gastrin-releasing peptide(31–98), or ProGRP, is a specific tumor marker in patients with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). Using a newly developed, highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for ProGRP, we analyzed 1,446 samples including those obtained from 478 lung cancer patients to evaluate the clinical usefulness of this ELISA. Several properties indicated that ProGRP is a useful tumor marker for SCLC. First, ProGRP was specifically elevated in SCLC patients. In non-SCLC patients and patients with non-tumorous lung diseases, its serum level was very rarely elevated. Secondly, ProGRP was a reliable marker, in terms of the marked elevation of serum ProGRP levels in SCLC patients. Thirdly, serum ProGRP levels were elevated in SCLC patients even at a relatively early stage of this disease. Fourthly, changes in the serum ProGRP level showed an excellent correlation with the therapeutic responses in SCLC patients. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is accepted as a tumor marker of SCLC patients. With the aim of comparing ProGRP and NSE as tumor markers for SCLC patients, we measured serum NSE levels in all samples collected in the present study. We found that ProGRP was superior to NSE in terms of sensitivity, specificity and reliability. Therefore, we consider that ProGRP can play a major role as a clinical tumor marker for SCLC patients.     

Variation of Apolipoprotein A-I in Cirrhosis and its Clinical Value

The serum apolipoprotein A- I (apo A-I) Concentrations in 39 patients with posthepatitis cirrhosis were reported to be 0.87±0.27 g/L lower than that of controls 1.15±0.14 g/L P<0.01. The, decrease of apo. A-I was correlated with the severityof impaired liver function. Apo A- I concentrations in serum correlated positively with decrease of serum albumin (r=0.503 P< 0.01) and negatively with serum bilirubin increase (r=- 0.508 P <0.01) . The data indicate that decreasing of apo A- I concentration may be regarded as one of the reliable indices reflecting the degree of liver function impairment.

The role of gallium 67 imaging in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract

To evaluate the clinical usefulness of gallium 67 imaging in the detection of gastrointestinal (GI) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and in the assessment of the therapeutic effects, images were reviewed in 24 cases (25 lesions: stomach, 20; ileum, 2; and terminal ileum and/or cecum, 3) and were compared using barium studies and, in 16 cases, computerized tomography (CT). In all, 23 (92.0%) of the 25 lesions were detected by⁶⁷Ga citrate imaging, the barium studies detected all 25, and CT detected 15 of 16 lesions (93.8%). The two lesions not identified by imaging and the one not found by CT were the smallest of all. In 2 (8.7%) of the 23 lesions positively identified by⁶⁷Ga-citrate imaging, both CT and imaging revealed the extent of the tumor more accurately than did the barium studies. In all but one of the patients, a close correlation existed between the imaging results and the therapeutic effects. These data suggest that⁶⁷Ga imaging is useful in conjunction with CT and barium studies for the detection of GI NHL and for the assessment of both the spatial extent of disease and the therapeutic effects, although a lack of⁶⁷Ga uptake after therapy does not always indicate a good therapeutic effect.
