    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La vascularisation artérielle et veineuse du filum terminale intradural a été étudiée sur 18 cadavres frais, sous microscope, après prélèvement en monobloc de la moelle épinière dorso-lombaire, des racines et du filum dans leur étui dural. L'examen des artères a été fait après injection manuelle de l'artère du renflement lombaire, tandis que l'étude des veines s'est faite sans injection compte tenu d'une coloration bleu-noir spontanée qui les rendent aisément identifiables. Après étude macroscopique, chaque pièce a été fixée, puis coupée à 12 niveaux différents depuis le cône médullaire jusqu'au fond du cul-de-sac dure-mérien, pour étude histologique. La distribution de la vascularisation du FT apparaît constante. Une artère unique, l'artère du FT, naît de la terminaison de l'axe spinal antérieur, soit par trifurcation, soit de la partie proximale d'une des 2 branches de l'anse anastomotique du cône. L'artère chemine devant le FT; son calibre diminue rapidement; rarement, elle a pu être suivie jusque dans le canal sacré. Une veine, la veine du FT, chemine en avant du FT mais en arrière de l'artère, comme au niveau médullaire. Son calibre est uniforme mais variable d'un sujet à l'autre. Elle traverse la dure-mère en bas; elle se continue avec la veine spinale antérieure en haut. Aucun vaisseau n'a été retrouvé à la face dorsale du FT. Si l'artère du FT a un calibre qui est proportionnel à celui du filum et apparaît comme un vaisseau nourricier, la veine a un calibre sans aucun rapport avec le volume de celui-ci et apparaît davantage comme une voie de drainage intradural en continuité avec la veine spinale antérieure. Quelques cas de pathologie du FT confirment cet aspect anatomique et montrent aussi qu'en raison de l'hyperpression veineuse régnant dans la veine du FT, la veine spinale postérieure participe également au drainage de celle-ci et que l'ensemble peut fonctionner dans les 2 sens ascendant ou descendant.
    Notes: Summary The arterial and venous blood-supply of the intradural filum terminale was studied microscopically in 18 fresh cadavers after removing the dorsolumbar spinal cord in one piece, with the roots and the filum in their dural sheath. The arteries were examined after manual injection of the artery of the lumbar enlargement, while study of the veins was made without injection since their bluish-black color made them easily identifiable. After gross examination, each specimen was fixed and then sectioned at 12 different levels from the medullary conus to the bottom of the dural sac for histologic study. The distribution of the vascularization the filum terminale appeared constant. A single artery, the artery of the filum, arises from the termination of the anterior spinal axis, either by trifurcation or from the proximal part of one of the 2 branches of the anastomotic ansa of the conus. The artery travels in front of the filum, with rapidly diminishing caliber; rarely, it can be followed into the sacral canal. The vein of the filum travels in front of that structure but behind the artery, as in the cord; its caliber is uniform but varies from subject to subject. It traverses the dura below and continuous with the anterior spinal vein above. No vessels were found on the dorsal aspect of the filum. While the artery of the filum is of a caliber proportional to that of the filum and appears to be a nutrient vessel, the vein has a caliber unrelated to that of the filum and appears rather as an intradural drainage route continuous with the anterior spinal vein. Several cases of disease of the filum terminale confirm this anatomic appearance and also show that, because of the existing hyperpressure in the vein of the filum, the posterior spinal vein also shares in the drainage of the latter and that entire system may function in both ascending and descending directions.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: The pharmacokinetics of a single i.v. dose of the new racemic β-adrenoceptor-blocker nebivolol [0.073 mg base · kg–1 ideal body weight (IBW)] was studied in 9 obese (157% IBW) and 9 non-obese healthy volunteers (98% IBW). Each group contained 4 men and 5 women, aged 32 years, including one poor hydroxylator (dextrometorphan test). Methods: The cardiovascular effects of nebivolol are significant decreases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac output, which last up to 4–5 h. The plasma concentrations of the separate d- and l- enantiomers of nebivolol, with and without hydroxylated metabolite, were measured by radioimmunoassay and the unchanged racemate by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The pharmacokinetic parameters for each form were calculated separately. Results: The main pharmacokinetic parameters of unchanged nebivolol in extensive metabolizers were (controls): distribution volume at steady state (Vss) 673 l; volume corrected by real body weight (Vss · kg–1) 11.2 l ·  kg–1; total clearance (CL) 51.6 h–1; and terminal half-life (t1/2) 10.3 h. The Vss (898 l) and CL (71.6 l · h–1) were significantly higher in obese patients. But Vss · kg–1 (9.4 l · kg–1) and t1/2 (10.0 h) were not significantly different from those in controls. The CL was clearly reduced (15–18 l · h–1) and the t1/2 prolonged (32–34 h) in poor hydroxylators, in both control and obese subjects. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the separate unchanged enantiomers were similar to those of the racemate in both groups. The pharmacokinetics of l-nebivolol were more influenced by the hydroxylation phenotype than those of d-nebivolol. The trend of the results for the sum of each enantiomer plus its metabolite, was similar to those for the unchanged form. Conclusion: The distribution of nebivolol in the adipose tissue in obese subjects is limited, despite its high lipophilicity. The differences between obese and non-obese subjects were not clinically relevant.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of d-sotalol has been studied in six healthy volunteers given single doses of 0.25, 0.50, 1, 2 mg·kg−1 i.v. and one 100 mg oral dose in comparison with the kinetics of 1 mg·kg−1 i.v. of dlsotalol. There was no significant difference in the disposition of the d-enantiomer and the racemate. The terminal half-life averaged 7.2 h, and the kinetics was linear, with a mean total clearance of 0.13 l·h−1·kg−1. Renal clearance of d-sotalol represented 56 to 77% of total clearance. The absolute systemic availability of oral d-sotalol was close to 100% and the elimination half-life of the oral-d-enantiomer was similar to that of the i.v. form (7.5 h).
