    Notes: [Auszug] Two ionic fluxes, akin to those initiating and transducing nerve impulses, may be essential regulators of animal cell proliferation. This idea emerged at a recent conference* where many findings pointed to increased Na+ influx being an early, perhaps the initial, mitogenic signal, and to ...

    Notes: Summary In Study I 20 normal volunteers received a single oral dose of spironolactone 100 mg. In Study II a further 20 normal volunteers were given first spironolactone 100 mg b.i.d. and subsequently spironolactone 100 mg once a day for a further 4 days. In Study III 5 normal subjects were given a single dose of spironolactone 500 mg. The concentration of canrenone in serum was determined both by fluorimetry and HPLC for 0–48 h in Study I, 120–168 h in Study II and 0–36 h in Study III. The total AUCs after the single 100 mg dose did not differ from the AUCs within the dosing interval during steady state. The half-lives of the terminal log-linear phases were almost identical (14.99±0.80 h and 15.69±0,80 h) when determined by fluorimetry, and were sligthly, but significantly (p〈0.01), longer when determined by HPLC — 20.14±1.62 and 18.71±1.04. The mean ratio of the specific AUC determined by HPLC and the fluorimetrically determined AUC was 0.3 after the single 100 mg dose. It did not differ from the corresponding value during steady state (0.34). In contrast, the ratio after the single 500 mg dose was approximately 50% higher. Fluorimetrically determined AUCs after 100 and 500 mg doses did not show dose-proportionality in contrast to the HPLC-determined AUCs. It was concluded that Canrenone contributes much less to the conventional fluorimetric determination than was previously assumed. It may not provide more than 1/10 and 1/4 of the antimineralocorticoid activity of spironolactone after single dose and multiple doses, respectively. Whereas linear kinetics apply after single and multiple 100 mg doses of spironolactone, after 500 mg saturation kinetics must be assumed with respect to metabolism. Thus, in bioavailability studies high doses of spironolactone should be avoided. For such studies the fluorimetric assay seems to be the appropriate bioanalytical method in spite of its lower specificity.

    Notes: Summary The disposition kinetics of bezafibrate, a newly developed drug of great lipid-lowering potency, were investigated in normal male subjects. Five male volunteers received14C-labelled bezafibrate orally in solution, and a further 10 were given the same dose (300 mg) of un-labelled drug as tablets. The concentration of bezafibrate in serum and urine from the latter was determined by GC, and in the former total radioactivity in serum, urine and feces was followed for 48 h, and urinary excretion products were analysed by TLC and GC-MS. Rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract led to peak serum levels 30 min and 2 h after administration of solution and tablets, respectively. Since approximately 95% of the administered14C-bezafibrate was excreted in urine within 48 h, and almost all the remainder was detected in feces, absorption can be regarded as complete after administration in solution. The relative optimal bioavailability from the tablets was also complete, since in both cases approximately 50% of the administered dose was detected as unchanged bezafibrate in urine within 24 h by GC in the tablet study, and by TLC in the solution study. Of the decomposition products, more than 20% of the dose was present as glucuronides and the remainder consisted of several more polar compounds, one of which was identified as a hydroxyderivative of bezafibrate. Since the apparent halflife of bezafibrate in serum was 2.1 h, this new drug possesses favourable pharmacokinetic features: rapid and complete absorption, even from tablets, combined with a conveniently short half-life, and clearance which is half renal (56 ml/min) and half metabolic (43 ml/min), giving a total clearance of 99 ml/min.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Übersicht gegeben über klinische Untersuchungen, die mit einem hochsensiblen in-vitro Erythropoietin Assay (foetale Mäuseleberzellkultur) zur Klärung der umstrittenen Rolle des Erythropoietinmangels in der Pathogenese der renalen Anämie an großen Patientenpopulationen durchgeführt wurden. Die Studien betrafen: a.) chronisch Nierenkranke mit variierender Funktionsein-schränkung in der Vordialysephase b.) nicht nephrektomierte und anephrische chronische Dialysepatienten. Die bisher vorliegenden Ergebnisse belegen, daß die Anfangsphase der renalen Anämie mit einem kompensatorischen Anstieg der Serumerythropoietinkonzentration einhergeht und somit ein Erythropoietinmangel nicht die primäre Ursache dieser Anämie sein kann; lediglich ein relativer Erythropoietinmangel ist anzunehmen. Erst in der Terminalphase der Niereninsuffizienz wird der Erythropoietinmangel absolut, so bei 50% der untersuchten chronischen, nichtnephrektomierten Hämodialysepatienten und bei allen anephrischen Patienten. An einzelnen Patienten läßt sich aber selbst in der terminalen Niereninsuffizienz eine Regulierbarkeit der Serumerythropoietinkonzentration über den Hämatokrit im Sinne eines negativen feedback nachweisen, der auf einem subnormalen Hämatokritniveau arbeitet.
    Notes: Summary A review is given of clinical studies performed by use of a highly sensitive in-vitro erythropoietin assay (fetal mouse livercell culture) in large patients' populations to clarify the controversial role of erythropoietin deficiency in the pathogenesis of renal anemia. Studies involved a.) patients with chronic renal disease and varying degree of renal insufficiency in the predialysis phase b.) non-nephrectomized and anephric patients on regular hemodialysis treatment. The data available demonstrate that the initial phase of renal anemia is accompanied by a compensatory increase of serumerythropoietin concentration and therefore erythropoietin deficiency has to be excluded as a primary cause of the anemia of renal failure; merely a relative lack of erythropoietin seems to exist. In the terminal phase of renal failure, erythropoietin deficiency becomes absolute, such in 50% of the investigated non-nephrectomized hemodialysis patients and in all anephric patients. However in individual patients even in terminal renal failure a sustained regulatory feedback mechanism between serume-rythropoietin concentration and hematocrit, probably working at lower hematocrit level, could be demonstrated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary During reuse of formaldehyde sterilized Kiil-dialysers, red cell survival, measured by means of51Cr t/2, was significantly reduced (p〈0.001) in 16 patients with anti-N-like positive sera, when compared with 19 antibody negative control patients (Mean±SD: 16.5±2.7 versus 22.4±3.1 days.) In antibody negative patients (n=10) replacement of form-aldehyde sterilized dialysers by ethylene-oxide sterilized disposable dialysers resulted in a significant increase (p〈0.002) of51Cr t/2 (Mean±SD, days: Kiil-dialyser 16.3±1.9; disposable dialyser 20.3±3.5). This improvement took place, although antibody titres persisted during the51Cr-measurements and declined thereafter only slowly. In antibody negative patients (n=6) red cell survival did not increase, when formaldehyde as a sterilant was avoided. In antibody positive patients mean haematocrit rose significantly (p〈0.05), whereas in none of the antibody negative patients a definite change of haematocrit occurred. The data demonstrate, that formaldehyde sterilisation of dialysers may cause antibody-mediated haemolysis contributing to the extent of renal anaemia. This immunohaemolysis may be corrected, in spite of continuing antibody persistance, when formaldehyde exposure is totally avoided, or possibly when minimized.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Während der Wiederverwendung Formaldehyd-sterilisierter Kiil-Dialysatoren war die mit51Cr bestimmte Erythrocytenüberlebenszeit bei 16 Patienten mit Anti-N-artigen Antikörpern significant (p〈0,001) kürzer als bei 19 Antikörper-negativen Kontrollpatienten (MW±SD: 16,5±2,7 bzw. 22,4±3,1 Tage). Bei Antikörper-positiven Patienten (n=10) führte das Umsetzen von Formaldehyd-sterilisierten Kiil-Dialysatoren auf Ethylenoxid-sterilisierte Einmaldialysatoren vergleichbarer Effektivität zu einem sofortigen, signifikanten (p〈0,002) Anstieg der Erythrocytenüberlebenszeit (MW±SD: 16,3±1,9 Tage, Kiil-Dialysator; 20,3±3,5 Tage Einmaldialysator). Die Antikörper-Titer blieben während der Messung der Erythrocytenüberlebenszeit unverändert, danach fielen sie im Verlauf von Monaten langsam ab. Bei Antikörper-negativen Kontrollpatienten (n=6) führte das Umsetzen von Formaldehyd-sterilisierten Kiil-Dialysatoren auf die Ethylenoxid-sterilisierten Einmaldialysatoren nicht zum Anstieg der Erythrocytenüberlebenszeit. Bei den Antikörper-positiven Patienten stieg der mittlere Hämatokritwert nach dem Umsetzen signifikant (p〈0,05) an, dagegen kam es nach dem Umsetzen bei keinem der Antikörper-negativen Patienten zu einer gerichteten Veränderung der Hämatokritwerte. Die Untersuchungen belegen, daß die Formaldehyd-Sterilisation von Dialysatoren zu einer Antikörper-vermittelten Hämolyse führen kann, die zum Ausmaß der renalen Anämie dieser Patienten beiträgt. Diese Immunhämolyse kann, auch bei Persistenz der Anti-N-artigen Antikörper, zumindest teilweise verhindert werden, wenn eine weitere Formaldehyd-Exposition des Patienten vermieden wird.

    Notes: Summary The determination of N fractions in the soil by means of electro-ultrafiltration (EUF) is described. The results can be summarized as follows: 1) For aqueous soils suspension the direction of NH4 + and NO3 − migration in an electric field is determined by electrical charge and water flow. Therefore the filtrates obtained at both the cathode and anode can be mixed for subsequent analysis for NH4−N and NO3−N. In order to avoid N losses the volatile NH3 is recovered in 1N HCl solution. 2) Considerable amounts of NH4−N and NO3−N as well as low-molecular organic N compounds can be determined by EUF in soil samples taken from June to September. The readily available N is extracted by EUF at 20°C and 200 V, while determinations at 80°C and 400 V also give information on N release from reserves. 3) It was demonstrated with soils from long term N and K fertilizer experiments that the EUF−NO3 contents reflect the N accumulation in the soil due to N fertilization or plant residues. In clayrich soils the EUF−NH4 contents give information on the release of fixed NH4. Moreover EUF−NH4 also gives information on N from readily mineralizable organic compounds. The EUF procedure gives improved insight into the N dynamics of a site and this should serve as a basis for N-fertilizer recommendations.
