    Notes: Summary A study was undertaken to investigate the correlation between histological invasiveness and proliferating potential and clinical recurrence in meningioma. In 39 meningiomas, the histological findings at the tumour-brain interface zone were classified into 3 types, consisting of 29 cases of non-invasion (NON), 7 cases of nodular invasion (NOD), and 3 cases of intermingled invasion (INT). Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and argyrophilic nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) indices were studied. PCNA indices (mean±standard error) of NON, NOD, and INT were 1.7±0.1%, 5.2±0.5%, and 7.5±0.7%, respectively, and the AgNOR indices (dot number/nucleus) were 1.50±0.03, 2.00±0.04, and 2.22±0.07, respectively. Significant differences were found among the three types in both parameters. Clinically, tumour recurrence was observed in 1/29 NON, 4/7 NOD, and 2/2 INT cases, indicating a higher incidence of recurrence in invasive meningiomas (NOD plus INT). Four of 32 patients who underwent gross total removal of the tumours showed recurrence, and all of these four tumours were invasive meningiomas. The results of the present study showed that tumour invasiveness as measured by PCNA + AgNOR indices correlated well with high proliferative potential and clinical recurrence.

    Notes: The present study was an attempt to elucidate the relationship between stereoselective pharmacokinetics and protein binding of KE-298 and its active metabolites, deacetyl-KE-298 (M-1) and S-methyl-KE-298 (M-2). Metabolic chiral inversion was also investigated. The levels of unchanged KE-298 in plasma after oral administration of (+)-(S)-KE-298 to rats were lower than those of (-)-(R)-KE-298, whereas the levels of M-1 and M-2 after administration of (+)-(S)-KE-298 were higher than after (-)-(R)-KE-298. In vitro, rat plasma protein binding of (+)-(S)-KE-298 was lower than that of (-)-(R)-KE-298. In contrast, the binding of (+)-(S)-M-1 and (+)-(S)-M-2 was higher than that of (-)-(R)-M-1 and (-)-(R)-M-2. Displacement studies revealed that the (+)-(S) and (-)-(R)-enantiomers of KE-298 and their metabolites bound to the warfarin binding site on rat serum albumin. These results suggest that the stereoselective plasma levels in KE-298 and its metabolites were closely related to enantiomeric differences in protein binding, attributed to quantitative differences in binding to albumin rather than to the different binding sites. Unidirectional chiral inversion was detected after oral administration of either (-)-(R)-KE-298 or (-)-(R)-M-2 to rats both yielding (+)-(S)-M-2. Chirality 9:22-28, 1997 © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: A strategy for thermospray liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (TSP LC/MS/MS) of very thermally labile xenobiotic conjugates, such as acetaminophen (AA) conjugates, selected as model compounds in biological fluid, was examined. The vaporizer temperature as well as collision energy were optimized using authentic AA-glutathione conjugate without modification of any analytical conditions, including mobile-phase composition, ion source temperature and repeller voltage. The [MH]+ ion intensities in the parent ion mass spectrum of m/z 182 from the conjugate at a collision energy of -25 eV were improved and maximized with a lowering of the vaporizer temperature from 115°C, corresponding to the optimal vaporization temperature of the mobile phase, to 80°C. Bile obtained from rats was treated with an equimolar mixture of AA and (2H3)AA was directly injected into the TSP LC/MS/MS system to perform the metabolic mapping of AA. The glucuronic acid, sulphuric acid, glutathione and cysteinylglycine conjugates of AA, in addition to the parent drug, were detectable by the parent ion scan mode, and confirmation of each structure could be obtained by the daughter ion scan mode. These conjugates appeared to show a marked temperature effect on the quality of TSP tandem mass spectra and sensitivity.
