Measurementof Free-CirculatingCis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum(Il) in Plasma

چکیده
Dichlorodiammineplatinum(ll) is an anti-neoplastic agent that is currently undergoing clinical evaluation. We describe an analytical method for monitoring the free drug (or its breakdown products) in plasma. The method is able to distinguish between free and protein-bound drug. Plasma samples are deproteinized by centrifugal ultrafiltration. The platinum in the ultrafiltrate is converted to a cationic species by reaction with ethylenediamine and then collected on paper impregnated with cation-exchange resin. This process concentrates the samples, increases the stability of the platinum compounds (by removing the compound from solution), and places the sample in a uniform matrix of minimum thickness, which maximizes detection capabilities. Platinum was measured directly on the ion-exchange disks by X-ray fluorescence. The detection limit for free drug is 240 pg/liter of plasma at the 3s level and fluorescence intensity is linearly related to drug concentration in the range from 570 to 5700 .tgI liter.

We investigated the measurement of phenytoin in plasma by the EMIT#{174} method, in the Monarch centrifugal analyzer. When we used the standard protocol supplied by Instrumentation Laboratory, significant drift was observed across a full rotor loaded with 31 replicates of a single specimen. Although the cause remains obscure, the drift was eliminated by using a load-spin-reload-spin procedure. ...

Background and Objective: Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ with the ability to produce and release a variety of cytokines such as free fat acid, leptin, adiponectin, visfatin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). The purpose of this study was to investigate the probable changes in visfatin, IL-6 and TNF-α on female rats after 8 weeks of intense aerobic exercises. Ma...

Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) has been used as a screening test for the early detection of prostate cancer (PC) for many years. Although the introduction of PSA test led to a considerable increase in reported prostate cancer cases, there is still some controversy over the sensitivity and specificity of this marker in distinguishing PC patients from those with benign prostate hyper...
