    Notes: Summary We examined the effects of the recently developed calcium antagonist HA1077 on cerebral haemodynamics during the chronic stage of the two-haemorrhage canine model system of vasospasm. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), regional cerebral blood velocity and regional cerebral blood volume in the canine parietal cortex were measured by Laser-doppler flowmeter. On the 7th day after the initial injection of autogenous blood, subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) produced a significant decrease in rCBF (59% of control, p〈0.05) and Hood velocity (48% of control, p〈0.05), with no remarkable change in blood volume (108% of control). Bolus intravenous administration of HA1077 (0.1–0.3 mg/kg) dose-dependently increased the rCBF and blood velocity, without significantly changing the blood volume on Day 7 after SAH. HA1077 improves haemodynamic function manifested by an increase in rCBF and velocity in this SAH model, and may be suitable for the treatment of vasospasm in patients with SAH.

    Notes: Summary The initial dose-escalating clinical trial of a novel calcium antagonist, AT877, in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage is reported. AT877 is characterized by its strong spasmolytic activity, its inhibition of intracellular calcium ion activity, and the inhibiton of several protein kinases. A total of 113 patients (Hunt and Hess grades I to IV) who had undergone surgery within 3 days of aneurysmal rupture entered the study. Patients were divided into 5 groups according to the total daily dose of AT877: I: 20 mg; II: 40 mg; III: 60 mg; IV: 90 mg; and V: 120–180 mg. AT877 was given by intravenous infusion over 30 min two or three times a day for 14 days after surgery. Although AT877 did not completely abolish angiographic vasospasm, severe vasospasm was seen less frequently in patients given higher doses. Vasospasm was the cause of a poor clinical outcome (Glasgow outcome scale rating 3 or greater) in 19%, 7%, 9%, 8%, and 6% of the patients in groups I to V, respectively. The results indicated a favourable clinical effect of AT877 at doses above 40 mg per day. Only mild hypotension was seen, even when 60 mg of AT877 was infused over 30 min. AT877 appears to be effective in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage. Part of its effect may be attributable to protection of the brain from ischaemic insults due to chronic cerebral vasospasm. However, the drug still needs to be evaluated in a placebo-controlled double-blind trial (which is currently being carried out).

    Notes: Summary Calcium antagonists are currently most widely used for chronic cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). However, the vasodilatory effects of systemically administered calcium antagonists can be limited secondary to hypotension. We previously compared intrathecal and intravenous routes of administration of nicardipine. Intrathecal administration of nicardipine significantly dilated spastic basilar arteries on day 7 in a two-haemorrhage canine model of vasospasm. In the present communication, the effects of prophylactic, serial administration of intrathecal nicardipine on vasospasm was examined in 50 patients. Patients were classified as Fisher SAH group 3 and all had their aneurysms clipped within 3 days of SAH. Following placement of a cisternal drain, 2 mg of nicardipine was injected, three times each day for an average of 10 days. The control group consisted of 91 similar patients with cisternal drainage not treated with nicardipine. Intrathecal administration of nicardipine decreased the incidence of symptomatic vasospasm by 26%, angiographic vasospasm by 20% and increased good clinical outcome at one month after the haemorrhage by 15%. Postoperative angiograms revealed that patients in the nicardipine group showed less vasospasm of major cerebral arteries, near the tip of a drain in the basal cistern, but vasospasm in the A2 and M2 segments was not decreased. Radio-isotope cisternography suggested that nicardipine might not reach the subarachnoid space around A2 and M2 segments. Nine patients complained of headache probably secondary to nicardipine induced vasodilation. Two patients suffered from mengingitis, both were successfully treated. Intrathecal administration nicardipine appears to be effective in the treatment of vasospasm, but side effects were significant.

    Notes: Summary The thermodynamic behaviour of n-alkylbenzenes on chemically modified silicas in reversed-phase liquid chromatography has been examined in acetonitrile-water and methanol-water systems. Plots of the thermodynamic parameters obtained against the organic solvent compositions indicate an interesting trend which implies that the surface states of the chemically modified silicas under the two eluent systems are different.

    Notes: Summary A process to synthesize silica and titania as spherical packing materials has been investigated on the laboratory scale by the sol-gel method. The silica and titania obtained were tested under normal-phase separation conditions for comparison of their retention characteristics silica witha a commercial. The silica was found to be similar in its retention behaviour to the commercial silica. The titania showed basic properties and strongly retained acidic compounds.

    Notes: Polypropylene films were treated with the CHCI3 plasma, and their chemical composition was analyzed with XPS and ART IR spectroscopy. The CHCI3 plasma irradiation made polypropylene films hydrophilic. The advancing contact angle decreases from 95° for the untreated to about 73° for the CHCI3 plasma-treated films. In the CHCI3 plasma irradiation, the chlorination occurs, and C—Cl, C—Cl2, and C—Cl3 units are formed in the polypropylene films. Simultaneously with the chlorination, unsaturated units (C=C and conjugated C=C units) are formed from dehydrogen chlorination of the chlorinated products, but the oxygen incorporation into the films is low. The CHCI3 plasma is preferred in chlorination of polypropylene films to the CCl4 plasma. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An efficient method for quantitative XPS analysis is the so-called multiline approach. This method does not require standards, it takes into account the instrumental and matrix effects and it derives quantitative information from statistical analysis of all photoelectron intensities visible in the spectra. One can expect the reliability of this approach to be better than the reliability of methods involving uncorrected relative sensitivity factors. This paper summarizes recent improvements in the multiline approach. In particular, a new expression for the universal energy dependence of the inelastic mean free path is currently used. Furthermore, the statistical analysis has been modified in order to account properly for the error in the countrates. Finally, a database with physical constants has been added (photoionization cross-sections, asymmetry parameters, binding energies, etc.) to avoid errors of polynomial approximations. The modified algorithm of the multiline approach was applied to photoelectron intensities measured for AuCu alloys in four laboratories. Surfaces of these alloys were sputtered with 2 keV Ar+ ions, because at this energy the selective sputtering effects are expected to be negliible. Very consistent results were obtained. The average deviation from the bulk surface composition was found to be equal to ±3.2 at.%. Extensive software implementing the described version of the multiline approach is presently being developed.
