    Notes: A surface micromachined suspended interferometer and an atomic force microscope (AFM) are incorporated into a novel optical reading technique. The AFM tip mechanically deflects the suspended membrane as it scans past a data bit on the membrane surface. The data are read by monitoring the changing interference pattern generated in the optical aperture of the interferometer. When operated in parallel, there exists the potential for high speed, high density data reading. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To study the relationship between the plasma concentration of stiripentol (STP), a new antiepileptic drug, and its inhibitory effect on the formation of carbamazepine epoxide (CBZE) in epileptic children treated with carbamazepine (CBZ) either alone or in combination with another antiepileptic drug. Methods: Minimum plasma concentration of antiepileptic drugs was measured before initiation of STP therapy (day 0) and on days 28 (STP 60 mg⋅kg−1⋅day−1) and 84 (STP 90 mg⋅kg−1⋅day−1) by HPLC. Results: The CBZE/CBZ plasma concentration ratio decreased exponentially with increasing minimum plasma STP concentration (r = 0.80). The asymptote of the curve allowed the calculation of the minimum plasma STP concentration required to obtain the maximum inhibitory effect, i.e. 6.7 mg⋅l−1. Conclusion: The inhibitory effect of STP on CBZ metabolism expressed as the CBZE/CBZ plasma concentration ratio is dependent on STP plasma concentration, with a maximum effect at an average of 7 mg⋅l−1. The present data suggest that in order to evaluate the anticonvulsant efficacy of STP as add-on therapy, the minimum plasma STP concentration should be maintained above 7 mg⋅l−1 and the dosage of CBZ should simultaneously be decreased in steps by more than 50% to minimize the change in CBZ plasma concentration.

    Notes: Abstract  Acute administration of phencyclidine to rats potently activates mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic neurons. The activation of dopamine release and utilization in the prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens are associated with profound cognitive impairment and hyperlocomotion, respectively. This dopaminergic activation by phencyclidine is not mediated by direct effects on the cell body regions of the dopamine neurons; however, phencyclidine augments dopamine release locally in the terminal fields. In the present study, the possible involvement of the prefrontal cortex in mediating activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system by phencyclidine was examined. Ibotenic acid lesions of the prefrontal cortex attenuated the biochemical activation of the mesolimbic dopamine neurons by PCP, and prefrontal lesions sharply blunted phencyclidine-, but not amphetamine- or novelty-, induced hyperlocomotion. In addition, injection of phencyclidine directly into the prefrontal cortex increased dopamine utilization in the nucleus accumbens and induced hyperlocomotion. In summary, these studies show that phencyclidine activates the mesolimbic pathway through a mechanism in the prefrontal cortex, possibly by disinhibiting the cortical circuit and activating corticofugal glutamatergic release in the ventral tegmental area.
