    Notes: Application of drug substances to the skin for systemic absorption or action in a particular layer of the skin is a rather old approach. However, over the last years it has received much more attention, as a consequence of the development of new membrane-moderated and matrix reservoir devices. As new reservoir systems, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN™) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC™) have been successfully tested for dermal application of different physicochemical substances. The knowledge obtained from rheological investigations of these systems may be highly useful for the characterization of the newly developed topical formulation. In the present study, an oscillation frequency sweep test was used for the evaluation of storage modulus (G_), loss modulus (G_), and complex viscosity (_*) of 12 different SLN and NLC formulations, over a frequency range from 0 to 10 Hz. The lipidic aqueous dispersions were prepared using three different solid lipids (Softisan_138, Compritol_888 and stearyl alcohol) as matrix material. Miglyol_812, tocopherol, sunflower oil and long-chain triacylglycerols were the chosen liquid lipids for NLC preparation. The objective of the present work was to investigate the effect of these different liquid lipids on the rheological properties of aqueous dispersions of NLC as model systems. It was found that the liquid oil component of the formulation has a strong influence on the viscoelastic parameters, which are dependent on the particle size, zeta potential and crystallinity of the lipid particles, as well as on the solid lipid used.

    Notes: Background : The most frequently used intravenous lipid emulsions are composed of 100% long chain triacylglycerols from soybean oil or of 50% long chain triacylglycerols–50% medium chain triacylglycerols. A newer emulsion, ClinOleic 20% containing 80% olive oil and 20% soybean oil, was suggested to reduce lipid peroxidation and immune function impairment.Aim : To assess ClinOleic 20%'s efficacy, safety and effect upon systemic inflammatory parameters in adults on home parenteral nutrition.Methods : In stable home parenteral nutrition patients, the initial intravenous lipid emulsion was changed for ClinOleic 20%. Nutritional status, clinical and biological tolerance, and systemic inflammatory markers were analysed before and after 1 and 3 months of home parenteral nutrition, with ClinOleic 20% as intravenous lipid emulsion.Results : Clinical and biological nutritional markers and inflammatory parameters did not differ between day 0 and month +3. There was no essential fatty acids deficiency. No side-effects were reported. Three of five patients presenting with migraine during home parenteral nutrition infusion at day 0 felt consistently better at month +3.Conclusions : ClinOleic 20% is safe and efficient in adult home parenteral nutrition. It maintains normal essential fatty acids status and did not influence inflammatory parameters. In contrast to studies in preterm infants or paediatric patients, no effect on vitamin E concentration or lipid peroxidation was observed.

    Notes: Aim : To study 5-aminosalicylate nephrotoxicity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in the UK.Methods : A detailed postal questionnaire was sent to all 1298 names in the British Society of Gastroenterology database and 290 consultant members of the Renal Association. The British Society of Gastroenterology reported new cases monthly, the Renal Association 6 monthly. Results were expressed as estimated glomerular filtration rate.Results : Retrospective study: cases – British Society of Gastroenterology:Renal Association 202:87, aged 15–76 years. Median peak (range) creatinine (British Society of Gastroenterology:Renal Association) – 300:301 (78–1200) μmol/L. Prospective study – 59 cases, median age 52 years (M:F ratio: 47:12). Median pre-treatment estimated glomerular filtration rate: 76.9 (123.9–39), at diagnosis 28.4 (80.5–3.6, creatinine range: 92–1361 μmol/L), recovery 46.8 [111.2–end stage renal failure] mL/min/1.73 m2. Recovery of renal function was significantly improved for patients treated for 〈12 months [n = 10, median recovery estimated glomerular filtration rate 70.5 (92–26.9) vs. 〉12 months 38.4 (111.2–end stage renal failure) mL/min/1.73 m2, P = 0.028].Conclusions : Regular monitoring of renal function may allow earlier detection of nephrotoxicity, particularly during the first year of therapy. Based on an inflammatory bowel disease prevalence in the United Kingdom of 412 × 105 with about 50% on treatment, we estimate that the incidence of clinical nephrotoxicity in patients taking 5-aminosalicylate therapy is approximately one in 4000 patients/year.

    Notes: Recent evidence suggests that N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor mediated plasticity in hippocampus has a more subtle role in memory-based behaviours than originally thought. One idea is that NMDA-based plasticity is essential for the consolidation of post-training memory but not for the initial encoding or for short-term memory. To further test this idea we used a three-phase variant of the hidden goal water maze task. In the first phase, rats were pretrained to an initial location. Next, intense, massed training was done in a 2-h interval to teach the rats to go to a new location after either an injection of the NMDA receptor antagonist (6)-3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)propyl-1-phosphonic acid (CPP) or of vehicle. Finally, under drug-free conditions 24 h after new location training, a competition test was done between the original and new locations. We find that N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor blockade has little or no effect on new location training. In contrast, when tested 24 h later, the strength of the trace for the new location learned during NMDA-receptor blockade was much weaker compared with the trace for the new location learned after saline injection. Further experiments showed similar effects when NMDA-receptors were blocked immediately after the new location training, suggesting that this is a memory consolidation effect. Our results therefore reinforce the notion that hippocampal NMDA-receptors participate in post-training memory consolidation but are not essential for the processes necessary to learn or retain navigational information in the short term.

    Notes: All Enterococcus spp., isolated from environmental water samples (n= 81), emitted a high chemiluminescence signal in the presence of luminol (10−2 M). Kinetic studies of chemiluminescence show a close correlation between chemiluminescence and growth curves during the exponential phase, with a maximum chemiluminescence reached just before bacterial growth entered in the stationary phase. On the other hand, genera closely related to Enterococcus such as Streptococcus or Lactococcus produced a very weak chemiluminescent signal. Chemiluminescence of enterococci could therefore offer a rapid test, in aiding the identification of the genus Enterococcus and in the survey of the microbiological quality of water supplies.

    Notes: Aim: Extensive efforts are underway to develop methods for the detection and treatment of vulnerable/high-risk coronary artery plaques. We utilized decision analysis to evaluate the hypothetical clinical benefits and cost–effectiveness of a catheter-based strategy. Methods and Results: Currently, stenotic coronary plaques are treated without regard to vulnerability. In a new strategy, vulnerable coronary plaques are detected with a catheter-based test and treated with a drug-eluting stent, regardless of degree of stenosis. A Markov-decision model was developed to compare the new strategy with current practice. Monte Carlo simulations were performed from a societal perspective, costs were converted to year 2003 U.S. dollars, and future costs and outcomes were discounted at 3%. Sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of assumptions on variables such as the prevalence of vulnerable plaques and treatment effect. In 60-year-old male patients with coronary stenoses the new strategy would be less expensive and more effective than current practice ($37,045 vs $38,257 and 10.23 vs 9.86 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), respectively). The benefits of the new strategy were robust in sensitivity analyses (e.g., if the prevalence of vulnerable plaques in this patient group was 50% or more and the sensitivity and specificity of the new test were at least 0.80). Conclusion: In selected patients with coronary artery stenosis, the detection of vulnerable plaques with a catheter-based test followed by their treatment with a drug-eluting stent could be a less expensive and more effective strategy than current practice. If applied to 1 million such patients in the United States undergoing catheterization, the new strategy would add 370,000 QALYs and save $1.2 billion dollars per year.

    Notes: We describe a 17-year-old male with a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), who presented with acute myocardial ischemia. The presumptive diagnosis of a paradoxical coronary embolism was based on the demonstration of a large ASD in conjunction with normal coronary arteries, a negative endomyocardial biopsy, and a negative drug screen. After percutaneous closure with an Amplatzer device, there has been no recurrence for 2 years.

    Notes: Purpose - During the past year, the authors have built a framework for a suite of metrics that senior managers can customize to track and promote innovation success in their companies. Design/methodology/approach - Senior executives can use the suite of metrics to assess their company's innovativeness over time and hence combat the insidious strategy decay that often afflicts a company's business. Findings - The framework combines three views on innovation - resource, capability, and leadership - providing the perspective to develop a suite of metrics for assessing and developing a company's capacity for innovation. Research limitations/implications - The optimal selection of metrics and the optimal value or "sweet spot" of any particular metric will vary from company to company. Practical implications - As more firms develop strategic innovation metrics and a database that validates their relevance, top managers will learn to assess and guide a company's innovation capability more effectively. Originality/value - This is the first strategic guideline for building a customizable system of innovation metrics.
