头孢菌素类抗生素的ADR监察

调查了国内外报道的有关头孢菌素的不良反应,结果表明,头孢菌素是一类较安全的抗生素。与其他类抗生素引起的不良反应相比,其药物副反应（ＡＤＲ）例次较少,但在常规应用剂量下,它也可以引起一些不良反应,有些甚至是十分严重的反应。我国ＡＤＲ监察工作刚刚起步,药物的ＡＤＲ监察制度尚不健全,因此,需逐步宣传普及ＡＤＲ监察工作的性质、目的、意义,确保临床合理用药的安全性。

The human toxicity of marijuana: a critique of a review by Nahas and Latour

A review entitled “The human toxicity of marijuana” was published in 1992 in the Medical Journal of Australia. The authors claimed that the adverse effects of cannabis use have been trivialized and that the effects are much more serious than earlier reported. We have made a careful study of this review and examined the claims made. We compared the claims of the authors with the information contained in the documents they cited and found that at least 28 of the 35 citations in this article were cited inaccurately. Five of these publications were misquoted, or the findings of the study were not fully reported. Twenty-three citations contained other errors, leaving only six to eight (two citations could not be retrieved because of their obscurity) accurate citations among 35. All of these inaccuracies operate in the direction of finding an adverse effect of marijuana.     

Neurotoxicity and pharmacokinetics of ventriculolumbar perfusion of methyl 6-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-6-deoxy-alpha-D-gluco-pyranoside (MCNU) in dogs

Summary Ventriculolumbar perfusion of methyl 6-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (MCNU), a water soluble nitrosourea with log P-0.71, may be efficacious in the treatment of subarachnoid dissemination of malignant glioma. We used 2 dogs to study the neurotoxicity and pharmacokinetics of MCNU. MCNU (1 mg), dissolved in 10 ml of artificial CSF, was administered via the right lateral ventricle during a period of 18 to 42 min and the CSF was drained by lumbar puncture. The perfusion was repeated once a week for 10 consecutive weeks. No neurological and systemic symptoms were noted after perfusion. Histological examination of the brain and spinal cord showed local denudation of the ependyma and local subependymal spongy degeneration and gliosis in the lateral ventricle into which MCNU was administered in one dog and local denudation of the ependyma in the other. When administration was over a period of 21 to 38 min, the MCNU concentration in the lumbar CSF peaked at 11.11 to 50.67 g/ml, in 28 to 78 min. The area under the drug concentration-time curve (AUC) was 1152 g×min/ml on average, significantly larger than that of ACNU. The elimination phase followed linear kinetics and the half-time was 41.1 min on average, significantly longer than that of ACNU. These findings suggest that ventriculolumbar perfusion of MCNU may be effective in the treatment of subarachnoid dissemination of malignant glioma notwithstanding some local histological changes.     

Shiva-1: in vitro and in vivo tests of the effects of a novel,synthetic, lytic peptide on ocular cells

An investigation was undertaken to determine the toxicity of an intravitreal injection of a novel peptide drug, Shiva-1, in rabbits. The drug, a synthetic peptide modeled after lytic peptides secreted by certain insects, has antiproliferative and antibacterial properties. Initial in vitro experiments showed that the drug, at a concentration of 100 M, was toxic to both Y-79 retinoblastoma cells and human retinal pigment epithelial cells. A wide range of doses (6–1200 g) was injected into the rabbit vitreous in an attempt to determine the maximum tolerated dose. Retinal toxicity was evaluated clinically, by electroretinography, and by light microscopy. Some localized toxicity was evident at 200 g; all doses of 240 g and above were toxic. While the drug appears to exhibit a narrow range between effective and toxic doses, the results suggest that this and other peptides of similar design merit further investigation for the treatment of proliferative and infectious diseases of the eye.Supported in part by U.S. Public Health Service grants EY07541 and EY02377 from the National Eye Institute, the National Institutes of Health Services, Bethesda, MD, USA

Mobilization of intracellular calcium stores participates in the rise of [Ca2+]i and the toxic actions of the HIV coat protein GP120

The HIV envelope glycoprotein, GP120, increases intracellular Ca2+ concentration and induces degeneration of human and animal neurons in culture. Using patch-clamp recordings and Ca2+ imaging techniques, we have now examined the contribution of intracellular stores of calcium in the effects of GP120. We report that in rat hippocampal neuronal cultures, GP120 induces a dramatic and persistent increase in [Ca2+]i which is prevented by drugs that either deplete (caffeine, carbachol, thapsigargin) or block (dantrolene) Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. In contrast, N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors or voltage-dependent calcium channels do not participate in these effects, as: (i) the increase in [Ca2+]i was not affected by NMDA receptor antagonists or calcium channel blockers; and (ii) and GP120 did not generate any current in whole-cell recording. Dantrolene, a ryanodine stores inhibitor, also prevented neuronal death induced by GP120. Our results show that the GP120-induced rise in [Ca2+]i originates from intracellular calcium stores, and suggest that intracellular stores of calcium may play a determinant role in the pathological actions of GP120.
