    Notes: Summary In vitro studies have indicated that the antifolates pyrimethamine [4, 6] and cycloguanil (the active metabolite of proguanil) suppress the proliferation of stimulated human lymphocytes; proguanil has no effect [2]. During the early growth phase of the cells,14C-thymidine (14C-TdR) incorporation is increased by pyrimethamine and cycloguanil, reflecting blockage of endogenous TdR synthesis [3]. Proguanil (Paludrine) is increasingly being used for malaria prophylaxis. It is considered the most innocuous of the antimalarials currently employed. Since nothing is known about the effect of oral proguanil on human lymphocytes, the present study was undertaken. Little information is available about the serum levels of proguanil and cycloguanil following ingestion of prophylactic doses [8]. Therefore, the serum concentrations of proguanil and cycloguanil were estimated, to allow comparison with previous in vitro studies [2].

    Notes: Summary Eleven patients on long-term prednisone treatment were studied on two occasions separated by 45 to 325 days. In 10 patients the total body clearance of prednisolone only changed about 10%. In one case a 78.5% decrease was observed after stopping treatment with rifampicin and isoniazide. No association was found between the prednisone dose rate (mg/kg per month), patient age or mean endogenous plasma hydrocortisone level and prednisolone clearance/kg. The results indicate considerable intra-individual consistency of prednisolone kinetics if other conditions are not changed.

    Notes: The efficacy of the lytic cocktail (1 ml contains pethidine 28 mg, promethazine 7 mg, chlorpromazine 7 mg) administered intramuscularly or rectally as premedication was studied in 51 children aged 1–12 years who had minor elective otological surgery. One group received 0.05 ml/kg intramuscularly (maximum dose 2.0 ml) and the other 0.07 ml/kg per rectum (maximum dose 2.8 ml). Most were satisfactorily sedated before operation, but after operation the rectally premedicated children were less sedated, which was in agreement with lower plasma pethidine concentrations in this group. The rectal dose should be increased if prolonged postoperative sedation is desireable.

    Notes: Summary Myocardial stunning, defined as a reversible decrease in contractility after ischemia and reperfusion, may be a manifestation of reperfusion injury caused by free oxygen radical damage. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that pretreatment with coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone), believed to act as a free radical scavenger, reduces myocardial stunning in a porcine model. Twelve swine were randomized to receive either oral supplementation with coenzyme Q10 or placebo for 20 days. A normothermic open-chest model was used with short occlusion (8 min) of the distal left descending coronary artery followed by reperfusion. Regional contractile function was measured with epicardial Doppler crystals in ischemic and nonischemic segments by measuring thickening fraction of the left ventricular wall during systole. Stunning time was defined as the elapsed time of reduced contractility until return to baseline. Coenzyme Q10 concentrations were measured in blood and homogenized myocardial tissue by high performance liquid chromatography. Plasma levels of reduced coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol) were higher in swine pretreated with the experimental medication as compared to placebo (mean 0.45 mg/l versus 0.11 mg/l, respectively). Myocardial tissue concentrations, however, did not show any changes (mean 0.79 μg/mg dry weight versus 0.74 μg/mg). Stunning time was significantly reduced in coenzyme Q10 pretreated animals (13.7±7.7 min versus 32.8±3.1 min, P 〈 0.01). In conclusion, chronic pretreatment with coenzyme Q10 protects ischemic myocardium in an open-chest swine model. The beneficial effect of coenzyme Q10 on myocardial stunning may be due to protection from free radical mediated reperfusion injury. This protective effect seems to be generated by a humoral rather than intracellular mechanism.
