The liposomal particle size, as measured by the dynamic light scattering method, was 198±40 nm. Effective SOD encapsulation efficiency was approximately 25.8%.Immediately after the i.v. injection of L-SOD into rats, blood levels of SOD decreased in a bi-exponential manner; the half-lives of the α-and β-phases were 16.6 minutes and 7.8 hours, respectively.AUC and MRT increased as compared with the i. v. injection of r-hSOD (free SOD), The SOD-activity in plasma was on a low level.These results suggested that still more L-SOD was trapped in the reticulo-endothelial system (RES), involving such organs as in the liver and spleen.In an effect to increase the SOD activity in plasma and prolong the circulation time of liposomes in blood, we prepared L-SOD modified with polyethyleneglycol derivatives (L-SOD/PEG. DOPE; L-SOD/PEG·DMG).After the i. v. injection of L-SOD/PEG·DOPE and L-SOD/PEG·DMG into rats, the SOD activity in plasma became higher and also the circulation time of liposomes in blood became longer as compared with the L-SOD i. v. injection.","PeriodicalId":17399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Nippon Hospital Pharmacists Association","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74584966","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}

From these results, LST using EB fluorescence assay would be available for diagnosis of drug allergy.At first we carried out LST on 22 cases of suspicious drug-induced hepatitis.As a result, 9 cases were positive and 13 cases were negative.In order to analyze the relationship between background of the patients and LST, we studied transaminase (GOT and GPT) activities in the sera which were obtained from the patients in different states (remission and acute disease states). As a result, when LST was carried out in remission state, relatively high positive incidence (50%) was obtained.When LST was carried out in acute disease state, positive incidence of LST was low (25%).These results indicate that this method is useful for clinical diagnosis of drug allergy, And in the case of the diagnosis of drug-induced hepatitis, LST would be recommended to be carried out in remission state.","PeriodicalId":17399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Nippon Hospital Pharmacists Association","volume":"98 1","pages":"399-407"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76120355","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}
