    Notes: Abstract Objective: The population pharmacokinetics of amikacin, in neonates, was investigated using the nonlinear mixed effects model (NONMEM). Methods: One hundred and six steady-state amikacin serum levels were obtained from 53 black neonates with a mean gestational age of 35.1 weeks and mean age at the start of treatment of 3.1 days. A one-compartment model was used to fit the data. Results: The final models for clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (V) were: where WT = birth weight (kg) and P = 1.28 for girls and 1.0 for boys. Inclusion of other fixed effect parameters in the model did not significantly improve the fit of the data. The inter-individual variability for CL and V were 18% and 13%, respectively. Intra-individual variability was 29%. Mean (95% CI) values of CL, V and half-life were 0.048 (0.045, 0.051) l· h−1· kg−1, 0.434 (0.414, 0.453) l· kg−1 and 6.4 (6.2, 6.6) h respectively. Conclusion: Birth weight was an important determinant of both CL and V and, in this data set, gender was also found to influence CL. Mean population pharmacokinetic values were within the range of those previously derived for other neonatal populations using traditional methods.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To derive a model describing carbamazepine (CBZ) clearance in children, in terms of individual patient characteristics. Methods: One hundred and eighteen steady-state serum carbamazepine concentration measurements were gathered during normal routine care of 72 compliant out-patients (2.3–16.3 years old). Levels were obtained from patients receiving monotherapy (55%), concomitant valproate (26%), or concomitant inducers (phenytoin, phenobarbitone; 19%). A one-compartment model was used to fit the data with the computer programme Nonlinear Mixed Effects Model (NONMEM). Results: Weight, age and concomitant medication were all important determinants of clearance. The final model for clearance (l · h−1) was: CL = [0.7(WT)0.4] · M, where WT is patient weight (kg) and M is a scaling factor for concomitant medication, with a value of 1 for patients on CBZ monotherapy or concomitant valproate and 1.4 for those receiving concomitant inducers. For the purposes of this analysis, bioavailability (f) was assumed to be complete, i.e., f is thus included in the term CL. Conclusions: CBZ clearance decreased with increasing age. As age and weight were correlated, either variable was a satisfactory predictor. The influence of both the inducers and valproate on CBZ clearance was as expected. This model, which describes clearance in terms of patient-specific details, can be used when predicting the maintenance dose required to achieve a target mean steady-state CBZ concentration in children.

    Notes: Abstract Non-linear Mixed Effects Modelling (NONMEM) was used to estimate phenobarbitone population clearance values for South African children, using 52 serum levels gathered from 32 patients during their routine care. NONMEM was also used to evaluate the influence of fixed effects such as weight, age and concomitant medication. The final model describing phenobarbitone clearance was CL=[Exp(0.0288 Wt−2.53)] M, where CL=clearance (l·h−1), Exp=the base of the natural logarithm, Wt=patient weight (kg) and M=a scaling factor for concomitant medication with a value of 1 for patients on phenobarbitone monotherapy, 0.62 for those receiving concomitant valproate and 0.87 for those patients receiving concomitant carbamazepine or phenytoin. Mean (95% confidence interval) phenobarbitone clearance values were 7.6 ml·h−1·kg−1 (6.2, 9.0 ml·h−1·kg−1) for the monotherapy group, 5.0 ml·h−1·kg−1 (4.0, 6.0 ml·h−1·kg−1) in the presence of concomitant valproate and 6.8 ml·h−1·kg−1 (5.6, 8.0 ml·h−1·kg−1) in the presence of concomitant carbamazepine or phenytoin. These values are similar to those previously reported from both traditional and NONMEM pharmacokinetic studies.

    Notes: Abstract Each of 20 methyl-branched and 1,5-dimethyl-branched alkanes that comprise the active principle of saturated hydrocarbons of the female stable fly,Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), was synthesized and evaluated for mating stimulant activity. The compounds that showed the highest degree of activity in bioassays were 15-methyl- and 15,19-dimethyltritriacontanes.

    Notes: Abstract The major component of the cuticular lipids of male stable flies,Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), was identified as (Z,Z)-1,7,13-pentacosatriene. The identification was confirmed by synthesis. This material is of unknown biological function; it is apparently not produced by female stable flies.

    Notes: Abstract Cuticular rinses of the female stable fly,Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), contained saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons that incited the male fly to attempt couplation. These compounds present in GLC trappings of the saturated hydrocarbon fraction showing highest biological activity were mono- and dimethyl-substituted hentria- and tritriacontanes. Active trappings from the unsaturated hydrocarbon fraction contained (Z)-9-hentriacontene, (Z)-9-tritriacontene, and methyl-branched hentria- and tritriacontenes.

    Notes: Bacteroids having a high level of respiration-supported nitrogenase activity were isolated from nitrogen-fixing alfalfa root nodules. Gentle maceration under anaerobic conditions in the presence of sodium succinate and a fatty acid scavenging agent were employed in this method.A large proportion of isolated bacteroids retained a triple membrane structure as shown by transmission electron microscopy. Dicarboxylic acids of the TCA cycle (malate, fumarate, succinate), but not glutamate or aspartate, supported sufficient respiratory activity to supply the nitrogenase system with ATP and reducing equivalents and to protect the nitrogenase system from inactivation by 4% oxygen over a period of 20-30 min. Sugars did not support nitrogenase activity in intact bacteroids. The properties of the isolated bacteroids were ascribed to minimal damage to the cytoplasmic membrane and peribacteroidal membrane during isolation.With succinate as substrate and oxygen as terminal electron acceptor, initial nitrogenase activity was determined at 4% oxygen in the gas phase of the assay system employed. At this oxygen concentration, the sustained rate of acetylene reduction by respiring bacteroids was linear up to 30 min. Bacteroid activity declined rapidly with time of exposure to oxygen above 4% in the gas phase. The optimum temperature range for this activity was 10-20°C. Nitrogenase activity was measurable at incubation tempertures below 10°C under 4% oxygen. Functionally intact bacteroids had little nitrogenase activity under anaerobic conditions in the presence of an external source of ATP and reductant. Treatment of the bacteroids with chlorpromazine eliminated respirtation-supported activity and rendered the bacteroid cell membrane permeable to external ATP. Bacteroids treated with chlorpromazine had high acetylene reducing activity with external ATP and dithionite in the absence of oxygen.

    Notes: The ovary of the salp Pegea socia (Bosc, 1802) is located at the end of an atrial diverticulum. The ovary consists of a single oocyte encased in a layer of follicle cells and is connected to the atrial epithelium by an oviduct. Transmission electron microscopy shows that the oocyte lacks a vitelline layer, cortical granules, and yolk granules and that the oviduct lacks a continuous lumen. What previous authors thought was a lumen is a line of dense intercellular junctions running down the center of the oviduct. The sperm nucleus in this species, as in other salps, is elongate. The tubular mitochondrion spirals about the sperm nucleus giving it a corkscrew-shape appearance. Sperm reach the ovary when the oocyte is still at the germinal vesicle stage. Many sperm swim up the atrial diverticulum and burrow through the cells of the atrial epithelium, oviduct, and follicular epithelium. Thus oviduct shortening, which occurs when the oocyte is in the meiotic divisions, is evidently unrelated to sperm moving up the oviduct. All previous authors, who argued either that a continuous lumen is necessary for sperm to move up the oviduct or that sperm bypass the oviduct, were incorrect. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
