    Notes: Abstract  The purpose of this study was to make evidence-based recommendations regarding the mode, dosage and schedule of delivery of concomitant mesna (sodium-2-mercaptoethanesulfonate) to protect against ifosfamide-induced uroepithelial toxicity. A critical review of the literature from 1966 to 1996 was undertaken on mesna administration via the intravenous, oral, or combined modality routes. Outcome measures of urinary symptoms and macrohematuria were emphasized, since these end-points of urotoxicity are most clinically relevant. The quality of evidence obtained from published clinical research was evaluated based on guidelines developed by the Canadian Task Force on the Periodic Health Examination. Recommendations are now made according to the strength of available evidence on the proper usage of mesna as a protective agent against ifosfamide-induced urotoxicity. There is good evidence that the use of mesna significantly reduces urinary symptoms of dysuria and frequency, as well as the incidences of macrohematuria and microhematuria, when administered concurrently with any dosage of ifosfamide regardless of tumor site. Mesna, given intravenously or orally, is superior to standard prophylaxis with vigorous hydration and alkalinization of urine. A commonly used schedule of intravenous mesna involves a dose equal to 60% of the total ifosfamide dose, divided into three aliquots and administered at 0 h, 4 h and 8 h after ifosfamide. Combined oral and intravenous mesna delivered in some tested schedules is equivalent to intravenous mesna alone, but the optimal schedule and dosage of combined formulation have not yet been established. There is fair indirect but no direct evidence that oral mesna alone is equivalent to intravenous mesna or combined modality use. Further research issues, such as patient compliance with oral mesna and other routes of mesna delivery, are discussed. Ongoing study in the appropriate use of mesna is needed to maximize its value as a uroprotective agent in the clinical setting.

    Notes: Summary In the 3-, 33- and 66-day-old chicken, two muscles, the oxidative slow tonic anterior latissimus dorsi and the glycolytic fast twitch posterior latissimus dorsi were compared by the measurement of muscle fibre diameter and the fraction of total muscle tissue nuclei which were either myonuclei or satellite cell nuclei. Between 3 and 33 days there was a period of rapid growth (more marked in the posterior latissimus dorsi) which coincided with a sharp fall in numerical density of myonuclei and satellite cell nuclei (number per cubic millimetre muscle tissue). The fraction of all nuclei which were satellite cell nuclei declined steadily. The higher levels of myonuclei and satellite cell nuclei in the anterior latissimus dorsi were thought to be a reflection of its oxidative metabolism and the presence of multiple endplates. The volume of sarcoplasm occupied by single myonuclei in anterior and posterior latissimus dorsi muscles was shown to be considerably greater than that occupied by nuclei in other cell systems.
