New data on the pharmacokinetics of adriamycin and its major metabolite, adriamycinol

Twenty-two days after administration by intravenous bolus, of 50 mg of adriamycin to several patients we found concentrations of adriamycin and adriamycinol of the order of 100 pcg/ml. In theory, however, with a terminal half-life of 30 h, the plasma levels of adriamycin and adriamycinol should be close to 0.1 pcg/ml. Further pharmacokinetic investigation was therefore necessary. We have retained for this study nine male patients, aged between 53 and 69 years who received 25 to 50 mg of adriamycin by slow intravenous injection. The HPLC method permitted the detection of 50 pcg/ml of adriamycin and adriamycinol, with the possibility of monitoring their elimination during 120 h (and in one case during 160 h). The terminal half-lives of elimination estimated in 8 patients were respectively 110 +/- 52 h for adriamycin and 92 h 50 min +/- 43 h for adriamycinol. Surface ratios under adriamycinol curves against calculated adriamycin was 1.10 +/- 0.26. Plasma levels found during the To in certain patients correspond to the end of the drug elimination of the previous treatment. It is difficult with a half-life to 110 h to predict the effects of residual concentrations of adriamycin and adriamycinol.

肱桡关节炎的超声诊断与综合治疗

[目的]探讨超声在诊断肱桡关节炎的价值和综合治疗的效果。[方法]应用高频超声探头对34例肱桡关节炎病人进行检查诊断，从超声表现上与“网球肘”相鉴别，并根据超声、临床表现和普通X线片进行临床分期，针对病情采用不同的方法进行治疗。[结果]制动、局部糖皮质激素封闭治疗5例，症状消失，复诊B超关节囊恢复正常。关节腔内注射玻璃酸钠10例，8例症状消失，关节内积液消失，B超检查关节间隙恢复正常。Ⅲ型在关节镜下手术2例，镜下手术包括病变滑膜切除，关节冲洗，病变软骨修整手术开放手术1例，滑膜切除、关节软骨修复桡骨小头切除。随访3个月-2年，开放手术治疗功能恢复效果不如关节镜手术。局部疼痛症状均消失，3例病人有5。左右的旋转功能受限。开放手术桡骨小头切除病例肘关节屈曲5。受限。[结论]超声作为一种无创、精确、简易、经济的检查手段对诊断肱桡关节炎有重要的作用。根据临床分型采取不同综合治疗方法治疗取得了良好的临床效果。

国产腺苷介入心肌灌注断层显像对心肌缺血的诊断价值

目的评价国产腺苷负荷心肌灌注断层显像对心肌缺血的诊断价值及腺苷试验的安全性。方法 102例临床疑冠心病患者行腺苷负荷/静息~(99)Tc~m-甲氧基异丁基异腈(MIBI)心肌灌注断层显像,其中70例显像1周内又行冠状动脉(简称冠脉)造影检查。腺苷按体重0.84 mg·kg~(-1)通过输液泵静脉双通路给药,对心肌灌注断层显像图作定性分析。结果 70例行冠脉造影者中正常31例,有冠脉狭窄病变者39例(单支病变19例,双支病变10例,3支病变10例);共检出病变血管69支,累及左前降支32支,左回旋支16支,右冠脉20支,左主干1支。腺苷负荷心肌灌注断层显像正常33例,心肌缺血37例,其对冠心病心肌缺血诊断的灵敏度为82.05%(32/39例),特异性为83.87%(26/31例),准确性为82.86%(58/70例),阳性预测值为86.49%(32/37例),阴性预测值为78.79%(26/33例)。对各病变血管检出的灵敏度为:左前降支75.00%(24/32支),左回旋支62.50%(10/16支),右冠脉80.00%(16/20支)。对单支、双支、3支血管病变诊断的灵敏度分别为68 42%、90.00%和100%。腺苷负荷心肌灌注断层显像对病变冠脉诊断总灵敏度为73.53%(50/68支),特异性96.48%(137/142支),准确性89.05%(187/210支),阳性预测值90.91%(50/55支),阴性预测值88.39%(137/155支)。腺苷试验不良反应轻,时间短,发生率为85.29%(87/102例)。结论国产腺苷负荷试验介入~(99)Tc~m-MIBI 心肌灌注断层显像安全可靠。     

The effect of continuous epidural analgesia on postoperative pain, rehabilitation, and duration of hospitalization in total knee arthroplasty

Efficacies of three alternate methods of postoperative analgesia were studied in 156 patients who had total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Forty-two of these patients received parenteral meperidine hydrochloride or morphine (Group 1), 58 patients received periodic epidural injections of morphine (Group 2), and 56 patients received continuous epidural infusions of bupivacaine hydrochloride and Duramorph (Group 3). The postoperative course of all patients was documented in terms of the incidence and severity of pain, range of joint motion, duration of hospitalization, and occurrence of complications. Although epidural analgesia increased the cost and duration of the operation, good-to-excellent pain relief was attained in 86% (Group 2) and 88% (Group 3) of cases with epidural analgesia compared with 61% of patients (Group 1) receiving conventional analgesia. Moreover, 67% of patients in Group 1 experienced frequent episodes of moderate-to-severe postoperative pain in contrast to 40% of patients in Group 2 and only 10% of patients in Group 3. As a result of diminished pain, greater joint motion was obtained within the first 72 hours in Groups 2 and 3. They also had shorter hospitalization (9.6 days versus 11.2 days for Group 1 and 10.8 days for Group 2). However, the use of epidural analgesia did not reduce the incidence of complications, including nausea. Continuous infusion of epidural bupivacaine and Duramorph provided good-to-excellent control of postoperative pain after TKA. However, better analgesics are needed to reduce the high incidence of side effects associated with various treatment methods.     

Progressive peripheral cone dysfunction

A 22-year-old man had a three-year history of progressive day blindness, most notably peripherally, and denied difficulty with central vision or color vision. Visual function studies demonstrated a diffuse dysfunction of the photopic system and normal scotopic function. The central cone function, however, was essentially normal. Visual acuity was 20/20 in each eye, results on AO-HRR and Ishihara color plate testing were normal, color naming visual fields demonstrated color discrimination in the central 10 degrees, and foveal adaptation was normal.
