Assessment of immunotoxicity induced by chemicals in human precision-cut lung slices (PCLS)

Occupational asthma can be induced by a number of chemicals at the workplace. Risk assessment of potential sensitizers is mostly performed in animal experiments. With increasing public demand for alternative methods, human precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) have been developed as an ex vivo model.Human PCLS were exposed to increasing concentrations of 20 industrial chemicals including 4 respiratory allergens, 11 contact allergens, and 5 non-sensitizing irritants. Local respiratory irritation was characterized and expressed as 75% (EC₂₅) and 50% (EC₅₀) cell viability with respect to controls. Dose–response curves of all chemicals except for phenol were generated. Local respiratory inflammation was quantified by measuring the production of cytokines and chemokines. TNF-α and IL-1α were increased significantly in human PCLS after exposure to the respiratory sensitizers trimellitic anhydride (TMA) and ammonium hexachloroplatinate (HClPt) at subtoxic concentrations, while contact sensitizers and non-sensitizing irritants failed to induce the release of these cytokines to the same extent. Interestingly, significant increases in T_H1/T_H2 cytokines could be detected only after exposure to HClPt at a subtoxic concentration.In conclusion, allergen-induced cytokines were observed but not considered as biomarkers for the differentiation between respiratory and contact sensitizers. Our preliminary results show an ex vivo model which might be used for prediction of chemical-induced toxicity, but is due to its complex three-dimensional structure not applicable for a simple screening of functional and behavior changes of certain cell populations such as dendritic cells and T-cells in response to allergens.

A systematic review of economic analyses of low-molecular-weight heparin for the treatment of venous thromboembolism

INTRODUCTION: Public concerns about the increase in health care expenditure have prompted investigators to analyze the costs and benefits of health care interventions. We conducted a systematic review of economic analyses of venous thromboembolism treatment focusing on studies evaluating low-molecular-weight heparin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified studies by a MEDLINE search and a review of bibliographies of retrieved articles. From each eligible study, we extracted data on the study characteristics, the effectiveness, and the cost of managing the venous thromboembolism with respect to treatment. We critically appraised the studies according to the framework from the Users' Guides to the Medical Literature XIII: How to Use an Article on Economic Analysis of Clinical Practice. RESULTS: Six of these eight economic analyses of venous thromboembolism treatment that met the inclusion criteria for this review showed that low-molecular-weight heparin is associated with less recurrent venous thromboembolism and is less costly than treatment with unfractionated heparin. Although discrete recurrent venous thromboembolism event rates were not included in the seventh study, these investigators concluded that the cost of low-molecular-weight heparin for the treatment of venous thromboembolism treatment was offset by the savings associated with fewer hospital admissions when low-molecular-weight heparin was used. In the eighth study, although the cost of treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin was higher than treatment with unfractionated heparin, the investigators concluded that low-molecular-weight heparin is cost-effective for inpatient management. CONCLUSIONS: Low-molecular-weight heparin treatment may confer economic advantages over unfractionated heparin therapy because it does not require anticoagulant monitoring and it facilitates outpatient therapy.     

An open-label, comparative study of the efficacy and safety of once-daily dose of enoxaparin versus unfractionated heparin in the treatment of proximal lower limb deep-vein thrombosis

BACKGROUND: Treatment of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) with a once-daily regimen of enoxaparin, rather than a continuous infusion of unfractionated heparin (UFH) is more convenient and allows for home care in some patients. This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of these two regimens for the treatment of patients with proximal lower limb DVT. METHODS: 201 patients with proximal lower limb DVT from 13 centers in Brazil were randomized in an open manner to receive either enoxaparin [1.5 mg/kg subcutaneous (s.c.) OD] or intravenous (i.v.) UFH (adjusted to aPTT 1.5-2.5 times control) for 5-10 days. All patients also received warfarin (INR 2-3) for at least 3 months. The primary efficacy endpoint was recurrent DVT (confirmed by venography or ultrasonography), and safety endpoints included bleeding and serious adverse events. The rate of pulmonary embolism (PE) was also collected. Hospitalization was at the physician's discretion. RESULTS: Baseline patient characteristics were comparable between groups. The duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter with enoxaparin than with UFH (3 versus 7 days). In addition, 36% of patients receiving enoxaparin did not need to be hospitalized, whereas all of the patients receiving UFH were hospitalized. The treatment duration was slightly longer with enoxaparin (8 versus 7 days). There was a nonsignificant trend toward a reduction in the rate of recurrent DVT with enoxaparin versus UFH, and similar safety. CONCLUSIONS: A once-daily regimen of enoxaparin 1.5 mg/kg subcutaneous is at least as effective and safe as conventional treatment with a continuous intravenous infusion of UFH. However, the once daily enoxaparin regimen is easier to administer (subcutaneous versus intravenous), does not require aPTT monitoring, and leads to both a reduced number of hospital admissions and an average 4-day-shorter hospital stay.     

The effect of body weight on dalteparin pharmacokinetics A preliminary study

Aim: To investigate whether there were significant differences in the volume of distribution (V) and clearance (CL) of dalteparin in obese versus normal-weight patients, and thereby determine whether dosing of dalteparin should be based on total body weight, lean body weight or an adjusted body weight in obese patients. Methods: Patients (ten obese and ten normal weight) treated with dalteparin were matched for age, gender, lean body weight and creatinine CL. Two steady-state plasma dalteparin concentrations were taken from each patient and assayed in duplicate. The pharmacokinetic values of V and CL were estimated, for each patient, using the Bayesian maximum a posteriori method with the program ABBOTTBASE. Results: The mean V in obese patients was approximately 60% larger than in normal-weight patients, but this was not statistically significant (P=0.11; two-tailed). The mean value of V (8.4 l) in the normal-weight patients was similar to that reported in the literature. The mean difference in values of CL (18% larger in obese patients) was not clinically or statistically significant. A poor correlation was seen between V and lean body weight (r ²=0.05). There was a moderate correlation between V and total body weight (r ²=0.52) and between V and adjusted body weight (r ²=0.55); adjusted body weight=[lean body weight + 0.4(total body weight – lean body weight)]. Total body weight and adjusted body weight provided a better correlation with CL (r ²=0.39, 0.32, respectively) than did lean body weight (r ²=0.01). Conclusion: These results suggest that doses of dalteparin in obese patients should be based on total body weight or an adjusted body weight, but not lean body weight. This study highlights some potential differences in the pharmacokinetics of dalteparin in individuals who are obese, and further work is necessary to quantify these differences in more detail.
