We, therefore, established a highly sensitive and specific assay method for vinorelbine in biological fluids using reverse phase HPLC. The vinorelbine level was determined using HPLC with UV detection at 268 nm, combined with liquid-liquid extraction using diethyl ether for sample clean-up. The HPLC system used an ODS column and a mobile phase of 48 vol% methanol containing 0.05 vol% trifluoroacetic acid. The absence of endogenous interference and the excellent chromatographic behavior of vinorelbine provides accurate results even at low concentrations. The limit of determination is 2 ng/mL (100μL, sample), and the range of the assay is from 2 to 200 ng/mL. Consequently, this method is thus suggested to be highly sensitive and specific for determining the vinorelbine levels in biological fluids. Using this method, we measured the plasma concentrations of vinorelbine after a single intravenous administration of vinorelbine at 1.2 mg/kg in male rats. The plasma concentration ofvinorelbine disappeared triphasically after the intravenous administration of the drug.Based on these findings, this method is considered to be useful for drug monitoring of clinical specimens and also for basic studies, using small animals.","PeriodicalId":14621,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Hospital Pharmacy","volume":"10 1","pages":"601-611"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80869950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Pharmaceutical Outcomes Classification (POC) to evaluate the pharmaceutical outcome and the Pharmaceutical Interventions Classification (PIC) to determine pharmaceutical intervention were therefore developed. A database program was designed and included the patient's database, medication history, care plan, flow sheet and Focus Charting®, using the Microsoft Access® software package.

Eight outpatients had showed a frequent noncompliance for colestylamine but also other therapeutic drugs would be considered.

In addition, some of the patients did not have sufficient knowledge of their own diseases. These above reasons were considered to be the main causes for noncompliance.Trial of the medicative consultations and counseling were thus performed with both patients and pharmacists regarding colestyramine dosing and dieteric problems.

Furthermore, the mean values of total cholesterol (T-Chol) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-Chol) concentrations in the eight patients all significantly decreased after the medicative consultations and counseling compared to the period before starting the therapy (p<0.01) and these trials (p<0.05), respectively. In addition, decreases in the percentages of T-Chol and LDL-Chol per month after medicative consultations and counseling increased to about 2.5 times based on the values before medicative consultations and counseling and the difference was significant (p<0.01 in T-Chol, p<0.05 in LDL-Chol).These results suggested that the medicative consultations and counseling with pharmacists and patients were found to improve pharmaceutical compliance in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.","PeriodicalId":14621,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Hospital Pharmacy","volume":"7 1","pages":"287-294"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87012168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, such patients demonstrate a wide range diseases and conditions, and hence appropriate ACE inhibitors must be selected depending upon the condition of each individual patient. In the present study, we prepared model rats for various circulatory disorders and investigated which medicine should be used for various disorders based on pharmacokinetic investigations of the ACE inhibitor drug excreted in the bile and from the kidney (temocapril hydrochloride, Acecol®) and another ACE inhibitor excreted from the kidney (lisinopril, Longes®) using the models. In the temocapril dosed groups, the elimination rate constant (Ke, 1/hr) was 1.03 for the hepatic disorder model group and 0.15 for the cholestatic model group, and both were significantly smaller than the 1.58 rate constant for the control group. Although no significant difference was noted, the renal disorder model group showed a slightly decreased Ke value of 1.27 compared with the control group. In the lisinopril dosed groups, the half-life was long, and no intergroup difference was observed in the pharmacokinetic parameters until 6 hr after administration. The results of the present study suggest that the use of temocapril is safer when renal disorders occur while the use of lisinopril is safer for hepatic disordes. In order to minimize the development of adverse reactions and to obtain the desired clinical efficacy, it is necessary to select drugs only after sufficiently analyzing the condition of each illness and taking into account the characteristic properties of the individual drugs.","PeriodicalId":14621,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Hospital Pharmacy","volume":"14 1","pages":"309-315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87070428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blood was drawn 7 times to determine the levels of plasma glucose and immunoreactive insulin (IRI) (just before and after a meal, and after 30 minutes, 45 minutes and 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes after a meal). The same 10 subjects then took 100 mg of acarbose just before a meal, and 30 minutes, 45 minutes and 60 minutes after starting a meal respectively on different days.

The levels of plasma glucose of the subjects who took acarbose just before a meal were significantly lower at the 5 times, from just after meal to 90 minutes after starting time of a meal, compared to the controls. The levels of IRI in the subjects who took acarbose just before meals were lower at all times compared to the controls and other intakes.
