Utility of cerebrospinal fluid drug concentration as a surrogate for unbound brain concentration in nonhuman primates.
In central nervous system drug discovery, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drug concentration (C(CSF)) has been widely used as a surrogate for unbound brain concentrations (C(u,brain)). However, previous rodent studies demonstrated that when drugs undergo active efflux by transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), at the blood-brain barrier, the C(CSF) overestimates the corresponding C(u,brain). To ...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Assessment of Mean Corpuscular Volume as a Surrogate Marker for Detecting Early Iron Deficiency among School Children
Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) as a surrogate marker for detecting early iron deficiency prior to definitive investigation and treatment. Materials and Methods: This study was done on one hundred students in Swada Preparatory School – Sharkia Governorate from 2010 to 2011. They were subdivided into three groups: Group (A): comprised of...
متن کاملCentral obesity as a clinical marker of adiposopathy; increased visceral adiposity as a surrogate marker for global fat dysfunction
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is often described as 'protective'. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is often described as 'pathologic'. However, both SAT and VAT have protective and pathologic potential, with interdependent biologic functions. RECENT FINDINGS Most of the body's (excess) energy is stored as fat in SAT. If during positive caloric balance, SAT does not undergo ...
متن کاملO20: NK Cells as Surrogate Marker for Predicting Treatment Efficacy in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
Natural Killer (NK) cells are part of our innate immune system with regulatory and effector functions. Different studies suggest that treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) has an immunomodulatory effect on NK cells. IVIg is a first-line treatment for various autoimmune diseases in particular in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The lack of predictive markers ...
