Comparisons between Antimicrobial Pharmacodynamic Indices and Bacterial Killing as Described by Using the Zhi Model

Various suggestions have been made for empirical pharmacodynamic indices of antibiotic effectiveness, such as areas under the drug concentration-time curve in serum (AUC), AUC>MIC, AUC/MIC, area under the inhibitory curve (AUIC), AUC above MIC, and time above MIC (T>MIC). In addition, bacterial growth and killing models, such as the Zhi model, have been developed. The goal of the present study was to compare the empirical behavior of the Zhi model of bacterial growth and killing with the other empirical pharmacodynamic indices described above by using simulated clinical data analyzed with the USC*PACK PC clinical programs for adaptive control of drug therapy, with one model describing a concentration-dependent antibiotic (tobramycin) and another describing a concentration-independent antibiotic (ticarcillin). The computed relative number of CFU was plotted against each pharmacodynamic index, with each axis parameterized over time. We assumed that a good pharmacodynamic index should present a clear and continuous relationship between the time course of its values and the time course of the bacterial killing as seen with the Zhi model. Preliminary work showed that some pharmacodynamic indices were very similar. A good sensitivity to the change in the values of the MIC was shown for AUC/MIC and also for T>MIC. In addition, the time courses of some other pharmacodynamic indices were very similar. Since AUC/MIC is easily calculated and shows more sensitivity, it appeared to be the best of the indices mentioned above for the concentration-dependent drug, because it incorporated and used the MIC the best. T>MIC appeared to be the best index for a concentration-independent drug. We also propose a new composite index, weighted AUC (WAUC), which appears to be useful for both concentration-dependent and concentration-independent drugs.

Reizhusten, Belastungsdyspnoe und zystische Lungenveränderungen bei einem 28jährigen Patienten

Zusammenfassung Eine neu aufgetretene Dyspnoesymptomatik und eine symmetrische, apikal betonte retikulonodul?re Zeichnungsvermehrung im R?ntgen-Thorax bei jungen rauchenden Erwachsenen müssen an das seltene Krankheitsbild der pulmonalen Histiocytosis X denken lassen. Klinischer Befund, laborchemische- und Lungenfunktionsuntersuchungen zeigen unspezifische Befunde. Neue radiologische Verfahren wie die hochaufl?sende Computertomographie (HRCT) leisten bei gezielter Indikationsstellung eine entscheidende differentialdiagnostische Hilfestellung. Dieser Fall verdeutlicht die M?glichkeit einer Diagnosesicherung durch transbronchiale Biopsien unter Verzicht auf offene Lungenbiopsien. Eine ambulante Diagnostik war m?glich, das h?here Risiko eines operativen Eingriffes konnte vermieden werden. Die Indikation zur Therapie ist nicht gesichert und wird daher durch den Grad der subjektiven bzw. funktionellen Einschr?nkung sowie den Verlauf bestimmt.     

铁缺乏时淋巴细胞增殖反应改变的实验研究

本研究采用体外细胞培养，３Ｈ－Ｔｄｒ掺入，原子吸收光谱分析等技术方法，观察了低浓度Ｆｅ－ｃｉｔ时淋巴细胞内铁浓度变化及经ＣｏｎＡ、ＰＨＡ诱导的细胞增殖反应能力改变，结果显示：铁缺乏时（第２、３、４组）ＳＩ降低，与正常组（第１组）比较相差非常显著（Ｐ＜０．０１），ＳＩ与细胞内铁浓度的变化呈显著正相关（Ｐ＜０．０５，ｒ１＝０．９４６６，ｒ２＝０．９３３９），说明铁缺乏时淋巴细胞增殖反应能力受抑。     

维甲酸对涎腺腺样囊性癌实验性肺转移的抑制作用研究

本文利用已建立的涎腺腺样囊性癌肺转移动物模型，着重观察了Ａｃｃ－Ｍ细胞株经维甲酸体外处理后其在裸鼠肺部形成转移能力的情况。结果表明：１０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ、２０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ两种浓度有明显抑制转移作用，转移率及肺转移灶重量、数目和直径均较对照组有显著下降（Ｐ〈０．０５）；但抑制作用无浓度依赖性，揭示维甲酸对Ａｃｃ－Ｍ细胞株的作用位点是有限的。１０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ、２０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ可能是维甲酸抑制Ａｃｃ－Ｍ细胞株转移的最低饱和浓度。

A preliminary study of the changes in the direct-acting mutagenicities of several nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons after exposure under sunlight

Five commercially available nitropolyclyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAH), namely, 4-nitrobiphenyl, 2-nitrofluorene, 9-nitroanthracene, 1-nitropyrene, and 2,7-dinitrofluorene, were exposed under restricted sunlight in the open air. The direct-acting mutagenicities of the samples after an exposure of 45 days were measured in order to compare them with those of the original samples in the Ames Salmonella typhimurium bioassay. It was found that the mutagenicities of some nitro-PAH do not change significantly while the mutagenicities of others increase or decrease after exposure. A preliminary study of nitro-PAH reaction products after exposure using GC, GC/MS, and FT-IR is also reported.
