    Notes: Abstract We studied central nervous system lesions in patients with neuro-Behcet's disease using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and recording of brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs). MRI revealed abnormal findings in seven of eight patients. MRI studies demonstrated extensive regions with high intensity signal in the brain stem and/or basal ganglia on T2-weighted images obtained during the acute stage of the disease in three patients. One of these patients had a strongly gadolinum-enhanced round lesion in the lower pons. In four of the other five patients with chronic disease, brain-stem atrophy was observed on T1-weighted images. Atrophic changes were more severe in the brain stem than in the cerebellum. Abnormal BAEPs were observed in three patients and consisted of prolongation of interpeak latency of waves III-V and defects of wave III or V. Abnormal BAEPs were recorded in patients with severe inflammatory changes or progression of atrophic changes in the brain stem. Our findings show that MRI and BAEPs are useful in detecting the presence and assessing the degree of neurological involvement in patients with neuro-Behcet's disease.

    Notes: Abstract A dispersion model developed in Chromatographic theory is applied to the analysis of the elution profile in the liver perfusion system of experimental animals. The equation for the dispersion model with the linear nonequilibrium partition between the perfusate and an organ tissue is derived in the Laplace-transformed form, and the fast inverse Laplace transform (FILT) is introduced to the pharmacokinetic field for the manipulation of the transformed equation. By the analysis of the nonlinear least squares method associated with FILT, this model (two-compartment dispersion model) is compared to the model with equilibrium partition between the perfusate and the liver tissue (one-compartment dispersion model) for the outflow curves of ampicillin and oxacillin from the rat liver. The model estimation by Akaike's information criterion (AIC) suggests that the two-compartment dispersion model is more proper than the one-compartment dispersion model to mathematically describe the local disposition of these drugs in the perfusion system. The blood space in the liver, VB, and the dispersion number DN are estimated at 1.30 ml (±0.23 SD) and 0.051 (±0.023 SD), respectively, both of which are independent of the drugs. The efficiency number, RN, of ampicillin is 0.044 (±0.049 SD) which is significantly smaller than 0.704 (±0.101 SD) of oxacillin. The parameters in the two-compartment dispersion model are correlated to the recovery ratio, FH, mean transit time, ¯tH, and the relative variance, σ2/¯tH 2, of the elution profile of drugs from the rat liver.
