    Notes: Aim This paper compares the effects of MC903 (calcipotriol) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3[1,25(OH)2D3; calcitriol] on differentiation and proliferation of normal human keratinocytes cultured in serum-free medium. In order to understand the inhibitory mechanism of MC903, we examined its effect on cell cycle kinetics and the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma gene product (pRB), a tumor suppressor gene products, in normal human keratinocytes.Background The hormonally active form of vitamin D3, 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], regulates the differentiation and proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes in vitro. MC903 is a novel vitamin D3 analogue which is at least 100 times less potent than 1,25(OH)2D3 in its effects on calcium homeostasis.Methods We analyzed cell differentiation and cell cycle by flow cytometry using a FACScan, and pRB phosphorylation by Western blotting and densitometer.Results MC903 induced growth inhibition and differentiation of human keratinocytes. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated that 10-6 M of MC903 induced cell cycle arrest in both G1/G0 (62.4 ± 0.7% versus 56.5 ± 1.7% in control, p 〈 0.01) and G2 + M (19.2 ± 0.3% versus 14.0 ± 0.9% in control, p 〈 0.01) phase. 10-6 M of MC903 also increased the depnosphorylated pRB from 25% at 0 h to 84% at 48 h, as well as 1,25(OH)2D3.Conclusions Since pRB phosphorylation is supposed to be essential for the progression from G1 to S phase, the inhibition of pRB phosphorylation could be responsible for the G1/G0 growth arrest induced by MC903 in normal human keratinocytes.

    Notes: Abstract These experiments were conducted in order to determine the influence of the time of day of drug administration on the pharmacokinetics of isepamicin. Six healthy volunteers were given 400 mg isepamicin IM, on 2 separate occasions, either in the morning (8 AM) or in the evening (8 PM). Within-subject differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters between the morning and evening dosing regimens were evaluated. The plasma concentrations of isepamicin were not significantly different between the morning and evening trials, but significant time-dependent changes were found with a lower elimination rate constant and a longer elimination half-life in patients administered isepamicin at night. Our finding suggests that isepamicin may have the same clinical effects irrespective of whether dosing takes place in the morning or in the evening, but its clearance tends to be depressed when taken in the evening. Therefore, morning therapy is desirable because of possible interference from aminoglycoside toxicity.

    Notes: The states in the surface and the bulk phases of Na ion-sensitive polymeric membranes based on a synthetic carrier were investigated using SEM, IR, 13C-NMR, and GC. The 13C-NMR study revealed that conformation change of the carrier took place when the carrier was incorporated into the membrane phase. From SEM, IR, and 13C-NMR experiments with a deteriorated membrane, the conformation change of the carrier was proposed as one of the deterioration factors other than the decrease in the diffusion coefficient of the carrier in the membrane phase.
