Laser interstitial thermotherapy in stereotactical neurosurgery

The authors present their first experience with laser interstitial thermotherapy, (ITT). Four patients with deep-seated non-infiltrative benign tumours (three astrocytomas, one oligodendrocytoma) underwent ITT. Previously, a stereotactic procedure had been performed to determine the exact location of the tumour, its spatial configuration and its histological diagnosis. The MRI controls confirmed the efficacy of hyperthermia on the tumour tissues. The authors discuss the possible ITT mechanisms. The indications of such laser ITT in neurosurgery should be enlarged to malignant tumours (gliomas, metastases) and to certain hypophyseal adenomas.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic (HPLC) Assay Using Fluorescence Detection for the Simultaneous Determination of Gallopamil and Norgallopamil in Human Plasma

Gallopamil is a calcium-channel antagonist with reported activity in experimental animals three to five times higher than that of verapamil. An automated high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with fluorescence detection is described for the simultaneous determination of gallopamil and its metabolite norgallopamil in plasma. Gallopamil was well resolved from norgallopamil and other metabolites, allowing simultaneous quantitation of both drugs. The detection limit for both gallopamil and norgallopamil was 0.9 ng/ml. This method has been successfully used for the determination of gallopamil and norgallopamil following the administration of 25-, 37.5-, and 50-mg oral doses of drug.     

Drug-Biomacromolecule Interaction XII: Comparative binding study of sulfaethidole to bovine serum albumin by equilibrium dialysis,fluorescence probe technique,uv difference spectrophotometry and circular dichroism

Binding of sulfaethidole to bovine serum albumin was studied by equilibrium dialysis, fluorescence probe technique, uv difference spectrophotometry and circular dichroism. Equilibrium dialysis method enabled us to estimate the total number of drug binding sites of albumin molecule. For sulfaethidole, albumin had 6 primary and 40 secondary binding sites. The primary and secondary binding constants were 0.9×10⁵ M⁻¹ and 0.2×10⁶ M⁻¹, respectively. 1-Anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) and 2-(4′-hydroxylbenzeneazo)-benzoic acid (HBAB) were used as the fluorescence probe and the uv spectrophotometric probe, respectively. In fluorescence probe technique, results indicated that the number of higher affinity drug binding site of albumin was 1 and the number of lower affinity drug binding sites of albumin was 3, and the primary and secondary drug binding constants for bovine serum albumin were 2.15×10⁵ M⁻¹ and 1.04×10⁵ M⁻¹, respectively. In uv difference spectrophotometry, binding sites were 3 and binding constant was 1.88×10⁵ M⁻¹. The above results suggest that several different methods should be used in ompensation for insufficient information about drug binding to albumin molecule given by only one method.

Local variations in the cerebral microcirculatory response to hypercapnia and haemorrhage

Summary This study evaluates local variations of the cerebral vasomotor responses to hypercapnia and haemorrhagic hypotension in a pig model. Four laser Doppler flow probes were used in each pig. There was considerable variation in laser Doppler signals between the four probes in baseline recordings. The increases in flow after CO₂ administration in 7 pigs had a mean coefficient of variation of 0.43 ± 0.31, and the flow changes after blood loss in another 7 pigs had a mean coefficient of variation of 0.45 ± 0.34. The range of flow changes within each animal was large; the probe with the highest CO₂ response showed on the average a 273% ± 157% larger CO₂ response than the probe with the lowest CO₂ response. Correspondingly, the probe with the best preserved blood flow after blood loss had on the average a flow value of 93% ± 12% of the baseline value, while the probe that changed most with haemorrhage had a flow value of 44% ± 24% of the baseline value. Single laser Doppler recordings have been used for the monitoring of cerebral blood flow in neurosurgical critical care, but our results suggest that a single laser Doppler flow probe is not an adequate method to monitor vasoreactivity in neurosurgical patients because flow signals from one probe may be unrepresentative for other sites in the brain.

The anterior inferior cerebellar arterial network supplying the rat cochlea and its role in autoregulation of cochlear blood flow

Summary The sensitivity of the cochlea is dependent upon maintenance of a delicate homeostatic environment. One mechanism which participates in providing this environment is the autoregulation of cochlear blood flow. This autoregulation is ensured through the interaction of sympathetic, peptidergic and hemodynamic mechanisms. The current study demonstrates an adaptation that also participates in cochlear blood flow autoregulation. Specifically, an anterior inferior cerebellar arterial network is described and the relative contributions of each of its vessels to total cochlear blood flow is measured using laser Doppler flowmetry. The results show that each collateral vessel contributes to the blood supply of the cochlea and that reperfusion is accompanied by hyperemia. These findings suggest an adaptation that provides stable blood flow through redundancy and compensatory potential. Additionally, these observations have implications for experimental models of ischemia.
