    Notes: Abstract Objective The methylxanthine derivative pentoxifylline (PTX) is one of those promising substances which are under current investigation to modify or limit inflammatory response. Antiaggregation activity has also been described that may contribute to the beneficial effects of this substance. Long-term effects on platelet function have not been elucidated yet. Design Prospective, randomized study. Setting Clinical investigation on a surgical intensive care unit of a university hospital. Patients 26 trauma patients and 26 patients suffering from sepsis secondary to major operations were consecutively studied. Interventions The patients prospectively received either 1.5 mg/kg per h pentoxifylline continuously for 5 days (after a loading dose of 600 mg) (trauma-PTX,n=13; sepsis-PTX,n=13) or saline solution as placebo (trauma-control;n=13; sepsis-control,n=13). Measurements On the day of admission (trauma patients) or day of the diagnosis of sepsis and at 12:00 p.m. during the next 5 days, platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP 2.0 μmol/l), collagen (4 μl/ml), and epinephrine (25 μmol/l) was determined by a turbidimetric method from arterial blood samples. Standard coagulation screen was also monitored. Main results In untreated trauma and sepsis patients, maximum platelet aggregation induced by all three agonists decreased during the first few days after inclusion in the study [trauma: ADP −17.1±8.0 rel% (% change from baseline); sepsis: ADP −26.1±5.6 rel%]. In due course, maximum platelet aggregation recovered, reaching the baseline value or even exceeding it (trauma patients). In the PTX-treated patients, platelet aggregation was significantly less impaired (sepsis group: ADP −4.4±3.3 rel%) or even increased beyond baseline values in the first few days of the study (trauma group: ADP 16.1±8.0 rel%). Fibrinogen plasma levels were lower in the non-treated control groups (p〈0.05) than in the PTX groups. Conclusions Continuous infusion of PTX for 5 days did not impair platelet function in critically ill patients. In both trauma and sepsis patients, the usual deterioration in platelet function was even attenuated, which may be due to the effects of PTX on cytokine release (e.g., reduction in tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1), improvement in microcirculation, or additional fibrinolytic effects.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To study the influence of continuous administration of heparin on platelet function in intensive care patients. Design: Prospective, serial investigation. Setting: Clinical investigation on a surgical and neurosurgical intensive care unit in a university hospital. Patients: The study included 45 patients: 15 postoperative with patients sepsis (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score between 15 and 25), 15 trauma patients (Injury Severity Score 15 to 25), and 15 neurosurgical patients. Interventions: Management of the patients was carried out according to the guidelines for modern intensive care therapy. Sepsis and trauma patients received standard (unfractionated) heparin continuously [aim: an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) approximately 2.0 times normal value; sepsis-heparin and trauma-heparin patients], whereas neurosurgical patients received no heparin (neurosurgical patients). Measurements and results: From arterial blood samples, platelet aggregation was measured by the turbidimetric method. Platelet aggregation was induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP; 2.0 μmol/l), collagen (10 μg/ml), and epinephrine (25 μmol/l). Measurements were carried out on the day of diagnosis of sepsis or 12 h after hemodynamic stabilization (trauma and neurosurgery patients) (baseline) and during the next 5 days at 12.00 noon. Standard coagulation parameters [platelet count and fibrinogen and antithrombin III (AT III) plasma concentrations] were also monitored. Heparin 4–10 U/kg per h (mean dose: approximately 500 U/h) was necessary to reach an aPTT of about 2.0 times normal. Platelet count was highest in the neurosurgical patients, but it did not decrease after heparin administration to the trauma and sepsis patients. AT III and fibrinogen plasma levels were similar in the three groups of patients. In the sepsis group, platelet aggregation variables decreased significantly (e. g., epinephrine-induced maximum platelet aggregation: − 45 relative % from baseline value). Platelet function recovered during the study and even exceeded baseline values (e. g., ADP-induced maximum platelet aggregation: + 42.5 relative % from baseline value). Continuous heparinization did not blunt this increase of platelet aggregation variables. In the heparinized trauma patients, platelet aggregation variables remained almost stable and were no different to platelet aggregation data in the untreated neurosurgical patients. Conclusions: Continuous administration of heparin with an average dose of approximately 500 U/h did not negatively influence platelet function in the trauma patients. Recovery from reduced platelet function in the sepsis group was not affected by continuous heparinization. Thus, continuous heparinization with this dose appears to be safe with regard to platelet function in the intensive care patient.

    Notes: A new all-glass interface for GC/MS designed to fully exploit the potential of glass capillary columns is described. The system works in the open split mode and has high versatility with respect to column changing. It is especially suitable for mass spectrometers, which are not exclusively dedicated to GC/MS work. Two chromatograms illustrate the properties of the described interface.

    Notes: Glass capillaries were leached, dehydrated, persilylated with 1, 3-bis (3-cyanopropyl) tetramethyldisiloxane, and coated with OV-240-OH. After crosslinking and binding the phase to the glass surface the columns showed high separation efficiency, high temperature stability, and inertness comparable to persilylated apolar columns. Column performance is shown to be superior to liquid phase cyanopropyl columns such as SP 2330. The excellent separation capabilities together with the selectivity of the phase makes OV-240-OH coated columns a valuable tool for the determination of toxic isomers in complex mixtures of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs). The order of elution of individual TCDD isomers was found to be similar to that described for SP 2330 or Silar 10c. The detection of PCDDs and PCDFs in a fly ash extract further illustrates the utility of OV-240-OH coated columns. The high temperature limit of these columns opens the way for the analysis of high boiling compounds such as mixed brominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans.

    Description / Table of Contents: On the Hydrolysis of Iron (III) Salt Solutions. II. Ageing of Hydrolysis ProductsThe long time ageing up to 15 years of the products obtained by alkalifying iron(III) chloride solutions to different neutralisation degrees has been studied. The concentration of the Fe3+ and the Cl- ions, the strength of the alkali, and the rate of its addition influence the results. Slow alkalifying produced up to 90% neutralisation β-FeOOH. The transformation of the amorphous iron(III) oxidehydroxide to β-FeOOH was promoted by a high concentration of the Cl- ions. When a large amount of amorphous iron(III) oxidehydroxide was formed, intimately intergrown crystals of α- and β-FeOOH resulted. On further ageing β-FeOOH transformed into α-FeOOH. At a degree of neutralisation of 95 and 100% transformation of the amorphous iron(III) oxidehydroxide into α-Fe2O3 occurred. The 100% neutralized precipitate, however, remained partly amorphous. Authors discuss the factors that determine very slow reactions leading to these results.
    Notes: Es wird über die Alterung (bis zu 15 Jahren) von Produkten berichtet, die durch Alkalisierung von Eisen(III)-chlorid-Lösung bis zu verschiedenen Neutralisationsgraden erhalten wurden. Die Konzentration an Fe3+- und Cl-_Ionen, die Alkalistärke und die Geschwindigkeit der Zugabe beeinflußten die Ergebnisse. Langsames Alkalisieren ergibt bis zu 90%iger Neutralisation β-FeOOH. Die Umwandlung des amorphen Eisen(III)-oxidhydroxids in β-FeOOH wird durch eine hohe Konzentration an Cl-_Ionen gefördert. Nach der Bildung einer größeren Menge von amorphem Eisen(III)-oxidhydroxid entstehen innig verwachsene Kristalle von α- und β-FeOOH. Bei weiterer Alterung geht β- in α-FeOOH über. Bei einer Neutralisation von 95 bis 100% erfolgt eine Umwandlung des amorphen Eisen(III)-oxidhydroxids in α-Fe2O3. Zu 100% neutralisierte Niederschläge verbleiben jedoch teilweise amorph. Die Autoren diskutieren die Faktoren, die die sehr langsame Reaktion bestimmen und zu diesen Ergebnissen führen.
