Abstract
We report on a boy with severe haemophilia A and intron 22 inversion of the FVIII gene who was diagnosed at ten months of age. After 16 exposure days to FVIII (81 days after initial exposure) he developed a FVIII inhibitor (maximum: 9.76 BU/ml). Therapy: We started immune tolerance induction (ITI) a...

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of procaterol, a selective beta2-adrenergic agonist with a high intrinsic efficacy in man, could not be determined in humans when the drug was launched because of the low therapeutic dose and the low sensitivity of the analytical methods available at the time. However, a recentl...

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of PRB co-administered with mizoribine (MZR) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of MZR in 12 patients with nephrotic syndrome. The elimination rate constant (kel) was used as an indicator of changes in the PK of MZR when the secretion of MZR was inhibited by co-administration of P...

Abstract
Controlled-release levodopa/carbidopa (CR-LC) is often used to provide prolonged control of night-time motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Levodopa/carbidopa/entacapone (LCE) provides higher bioavailability of levodopa compared with levodopa/carbidopa formulations and has been...

Abstract
To investigate potential differences in zibotentan pharmacokinetics between Japanese and Caucasian patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer (HRPC) following single and multiple dosing.
In the Japanese study, 18 patients received a single dose of zibotentan 5, 10 or 15 mg followed by 72 h wash...

Abstract
The occurrence of three endocrine disrupting compounds, 4-n-nonylphenol, triclosan and bisphenol A, was investigated in different bivalves originating from the Aegean Sea (Greece). The bioconcentration potential of these compounds was studied using the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis...

Abstract
I and group II and each group received a single drop (30 µl) of either 1% or 0.1% VZ formulation. Aqueous humor was collected at designated time intervals. For multidose kinetics, a single drop of 1% VZ was instilled 5 times either hourly or every 2 hr. The aqueous humor was tested for VZ at the 5t...

Abstract
Thienorphine-loaded microspheres composed of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) were prepared by an O/W emulsion solvent evaporation method. HPLC was used to determine the drug loading and drug release, while a LC-MS-MS system was employed to analyze the plasma drug concentration. Results indicated that...

Abstract
In a previous study it has been demonstrated that a dissolution/permeation (D/P) system can discriminate between different immediate release fenofibrate formulations. The fractions permeated were correlated with fenofibrate's in vivo exposure in rats following p.o. administration. In the present stu...

Abstract
Midazolam in an autoinjector was evaluated in an open-label dose escalation study involving 39 healthy participants. Safety and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined for doses ranging from 5 to 30 mg. No serious adverse events were noted during the study. Two participants (30 mg) experienced ch...

Abstract
No adverse effects were observed in any of the mares after minocycline administration. The mean+/-SD elimination half-life was 7.70+/-1.91 hours. The total body clearance was 0.16+/-0.04 L/h/kg, and the volume of distribution at steady state was 1.53+/-0.09 L/kg. The percentage of plasma protein bin...

Abstract
Captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are susceptible to lameness resulting from foot and joint pain, including chronic arthritis. In the past, opioid analgesics, such as butorphanol, have been used clinically for pain management. However, dosages used in treating elephants were often extrapolat...

Abstract
We determined the mRNA and protein expression of DNMT1 in Jurkat T-leukemia cells, after incubation with Lfcin B, by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blot analysis. The results of real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR showed that DNMT1 expression in Jurkat T-le...

Abstract
We examine current evidence on the relevance of FcRn in maintaining high autoantibody levels and discuss FcRn-targeted therapeutic approaches. Further investigation of the FcRn-IgG interaction will not only provide mechanistic insights into the receptor function, but should also greatly facilitate t...

Abstract
Optimal biotin concentration was 0.04 pg of biotin/RBC, and the optimal streptavidin-PE ratio was 1.2 microg of streptavidin-PE/1 x 10(6) RBCs. Posttransfusion lifespan of autologous RBCs was 99, 89, 66, and 59 days after storage for 0, 1, 14, and 28 days, respectively. Storage did not result in sig...

Abstract
Clearance mechanisms for recombinant activated human FVII (rFVIIa; NovoSeven), a heterogeneously glycosylated protein, have yet to be fully elucidated, but may involve the liver. The effects of the gamma-carboxy glutamic acid (Gla) domain and the sialic acid content of the protein on rFVIIa clearance...

Abstract
Gimatecan appears to have high plasma disposition. The drug was present in plasma almost completely as the intact lactone form and showed substantial activity in all tumor models. Prolonged daily treatment with low doses of gimatecan produced significant tumor regression in all tumor xenografts. CON...
