V-Kardia, Inc., recently announced that academic investigator, David Kaye, MD, PhD, of the Baker Heart Research Institute, presented preclinical results on the successful use of the company's new targeted delivery system V-FocusTM ; for administering therapeutic genes directly to the heart. The results demonstrated the ability of the system to selectively deliver therapeutic levels of a gene to the heart, with minimal leakage into the systemic circulation, significantly restoring heart function in a large animal model of heart failure. These data were presented at the recent American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Dallas, Texas. Heart failure is a leading cause of hospitalization, disability, and death, with over 5 million people in the United States suffering from the disease. Despite significant advances in pharmacotherapy, heart failure remains a progressive disorder with 5-year survival of less than 50%. Recently, many of the molecular and cellular mechanisms causing the impairment of heart function have been determined. Recent studies using a range of gene therapy approaches targeting these mechanisms have raised hopes for the treatment of heart failure. However, until now, there has not been a reliable means of delivering a therapeutic gene directly to the heart. Professor David Kaye, working with colleagues from Massachusetts 12 General Hospital and Harvard University, presented data which described the ability of the V-Focus System to allow targeted delivery of genes, molecules, and cells to the heart and potentially other organs and tissues. In the cardiac application, Professor Kaye described how the VFocus system was used to isolate the coronary circulation from the general circulation and effectively deliver gene therapy to a large animal model of heart failure. The system was introduced percutaneously and delivered the agent safely and efficiently. High, uniform levels of the test agent were found within the heart tissue while little to no agent was found in the lungs, liver, or kidneys. The results confirmed that this delivery system can be used for the delivery of gene therapy to the severely failing heart, significantly restoring heart function. V-Kardia, Inc., is a privately held company based in St. Paul, Minnesota. The company is focused on the development of percutaneous delivery systems for targeted agent delivery to an organ or body region. The initial product, the V-Focus System, is designed to deliver high, uniform level of agents to the heart while minimizing delivery to the other organs or areas of the body. The company is actively seeking other gene- based and cell therapies for use with the V-Focus System. V-Kardia was founded in conjunction with the Baker Heart Research Institute of Melbourne, Australia. 2475. Kaplan LJ, Bailey H.

Animals. Female Sprague Dawley rats Charles River, Raleigh, NC ; , weighing between 250 and 300 gm were maintained on a 12 light dark cycle lights on at 8: A.M. ; with food and water available ad libitum. Rats were initially group-housed in 45 24 20 polycarbonate cages four rats per cage ; and individually housed after implantation of ICV cannulas. In all experiments, intact or ovariectomized OVX ; rats obtained from the supplier were maintained in the vivarium for 2 weeks before startle testing. Apparatus. Rats were trained and tested in two identical 8 15 Plexiglas and wire mesh cages. The floor of each cage consisted of four 6.0-mm-diameter stainless steel bars spaced 18 mm apart. The cages were suspended between compression springs within a steel frame, and both were enclosed in a ventilated, sound-attenuating chamber inside dimensions, 56 81 cm; Industrial Acoustics, Bronx, NY ; . Background noise 60 dB; wideband ; was provided by a General Radio Concord, MA ; type 1390-B noise generator and delivered through high-frequency speakers Supertweeter; Radio Shack, Tandy, Fort Worth, TX ; located 5 cm from the front of each cage. Sound level measurements were made with a Bruel & Kjaer Marlborough, MA ; model 2235 sound-level meter A scale; random input ; with the microphone type 4176 ; located 7 cm from the center of the speaker, which approximates the distance of the rat's ear from the speaker during testing. Startle responses were evoked by 50 msec white-noise bursts 5 msec rise decay ; generated by a Macintosh G3 computer sound file 0 22 kHz ; , amplified by a Radio Shack amplifier 100 watt; model MPA-200 ; , and delivered through the same speakers as those used to provide background noise. Startle response amplitudes were quantified using an Endevco San Juan Capistrano, CA ; 2217E accelerometer . Cage movement produced by the rat's startle response resulted in displacement of the accelerometer, the output of which was integrated, producing a voltage output proportional to the velocity of cage movement. This signal was amplified by an Endevco model 104 amplifier and digitized on a scale of 0 2500 units by an InstruNET device model 100B; GW Instruments, Somerville, MA ; interfaced to a Macintosh G3 computer. Startle amplitude was defined as the maximal peak-to-peak voltage that occurred during the first 300 msec after onset of the startle-eliciting noise burst. In the fear-potentiated startle test, the visual conditioned stimulus was a 3.7 sec light 200 lux ; produced by a 25 incandescent bulb located 25 cm above each cage. Luminosity was measured using a VWR Atlanta, GA ; light meter. The unconditioned stimulus was a 0.5 sec, 0.4 mA shock delivered through the four floor bars. Shock intensity was measured with a 1 k resistor across a differential channel of an oscilloscope in series with a 100 k resistor connected between adjacent floor bars within each cage. Current was defined as the root-mean-square voltage across the 1 k resistor where milliamperes 0.707 0.5 peak-to-peak voltage. Shocks were produced by LeHigh Valley shock generators SGS-004; Beltsville, MD ; . The presentation and sequencing of all stimuli were under the control of the Macintosh G3 computer using custom-designed software The Experimenter; Glassbeads Inc., Newton, CT ; . Surgery. Rats were anesthetized with a ketaminexylazine mixture ketamine, 100 mg 100 ml; xylazine, 20 mg ml at 1 cc kg, i.p. ; and placed in a stereotaxic instrument ASI, Warren, MI ; . The skull was exposed, a hole was drilled over the lateral ventricle, and a 22 gauge guide cannula model C313G; Plastic Products, Roanoke, VA ; was lowered into the right lateral ventricle anteroposterior, 0.4; dorsoventral, 5.5; mediolateral, 1.2 mm from bregma; nosebar set to 5.0 mm ; .

Vol. 287 Drug administration and sampling protocol pharmacokinetic study ; . Utilizing i.v. bolus dose conditions, the pharmacokinetics of etoposide alone 10 12 mg kg ; and in the presence of cyclosporine 5 mg kg ; or tamoxifen 13.5 mg kg ; were evaluated. A total of 15 animals were used, with 5 randomized to each of the three groups. In each group, vehicle control ; or modulator was given 20 to 30 min before giving etoposide. Etoposide dosing solution was prepared by diluting commercial vepesid with 0.9% sodium chloride 1: 10 mg ml ; on the day of the experiment. Cyclosporine dosing solution was made by diluting commercial Sandimmune 50 mg ml ; with a blank dosing vehicle consisting of citric acid 400 mg ; , benzyl alcohol 6 g ; , polysorbate 80 16 g ; , polyethylene glycol 300 130 g ; and 95% alcohol 61 ml ; to obtain a concentration of 10 mg ml. This solution was subsequently diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride 1: to obtain a final concentration of 5 mg ml. Tamoxifen hydrochloride was reconstituted in the same blank dosing vehicle 27 mg ml ; and diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride 1: to obtain a concentration of 13.5 mg ml. Animals were cannulated in both the femoral vein and artery for serial blood sampling and drug administration, respectively. Animals were allowed to recover for 24 hr before initiating the experiment. Multiple blood samples were obtained for 8 hr 0, 0.17, 0.5, 1, and 8 ; via the femoral vein. These represent approximate sampling times; actual sampling times were noted and used in the pharmacokinetic analysis. To enable separation of renal and nonrenal clearances, animals were housed in metabolic cages, and urine was collected for 24 hr. Drug administration and sampling protocol microdialysis study ; . Etoposide drug solution was prepared by diluting commercial vepesid 20 mg ml etoposide ; 1: with 0.9% NaCl. In these studies, animals were maintained under anesthesia throughout the experiment, and two microdialysis probes were implanted into the CNS. Commercial CMA 12 and CMA 20 microdialysis probes were used. In the CNS, one probe was placed in the left frontal cortex treatment ; , and the other was placed in the right control ; , with the coordinates of 3.0 mm lateral and 3.0 mm anterior to bregma for each site. This was to ensure maximum distance between the probes placed into the left and right frontal cortexes. Probe insertion was accomplished by a Kopf stereotaxic frame, lowering the probes at a rate of 0.5 mm 30 sec. After probe implantation was complete, probes were allowed to equilibrate in the CNS for 1 hour before starting the experiment. In these experiments, etoposide was administered as an i.v. infusion 15 mg kg hr ; to 12 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats for 7 hr. Also, rats received an etoposide i.v. bolus of 15 mg before starting the infusion. Rats also received either 4.14 mM cyclosporine n 3 ; , 30 trifluoperazine hydrochloride n 3 ; or 100 mM sodium cyanide n 6 ; 3.5 hr after initiating the etoposide infusion in the dialysate perfusing the left microdialysis probe. In vivo microdialysis. An artificial cerebral spinal fluid pH 7.35 ; was prepared containing in mM ; Na 155; K 2.9; Ca 2; Mg 0.7; Cl 138; HCO3 ; and glucose 6.0. In all experiments delivery of the microdialysate was accomplished by a microinjection pump CMA 100; Carnegie Medicin ; at 2 l min. Dialysate samples were taken every 30 min. Commercial probes 4 mm in length ; were used in the CNS CMA 12; Carnegie Medicin ; and jugular vein CMA 20 soft probe; Carnegie Medicin ; . All surgeries were performed under anesthesia with ketamine 85 mg kg i.p. ; and acepromazine 1.6 mg kg i.p. ; . Anesthesia was maintained with periodic intramuscular injections of this combination as needed. Body temperature was maintained at 37C with an electric heating pad checked via a rectal thermometer. Retrodialysis. Relative etoposide microdialysis probe in vivo recovery was estimated using antipyrine as a retrodialysis marker. Etoposide extent of distribution into the CNS BBRcorr ; was calculated by dividing corrected brain dialysate concentrations by corrected jugular dialysate concentrations for both the left and right frontal cortexex. The usefulness of this approach has been demon and lanoxin.

In older children behavioural techniques are worthwhile and conscious sedation using midazolam, fentanyl or nitrous oxide can be successful with local anaesthesia. Deep sedation with combinations of midazolam, opioids and ketamine is possible but unreliable and so not recommended. Large numbers of children with cancer need anaesthesia and many have indwelling IV access allowing an intravenous technique that should cause the least distress. A study comparing propofol, etomidate, and ketamine has shown that propofol has the least post-operative sequelae although it has the highest apnoea rate. Therefore, 52.

Many have noted that over-the-counter OTC ; preparations are increasing in popularity with teenagers, possibly due to a belief that they are safe and because they are easy to procure and many Internet sites report on their ability to induce a "high." Abuse of cough medications is not a new phenomenon. Information about this abuse dates back to the 1950's when cough preparations contained codeine or similar compounds. In 1990, the FDA's Drug Advisory Committee held a hearing concerning the abuse of cough syrups with dextromethorphan DXM ; . DXM is a synthetically produced substance, the methylated dextrorotary analogue of levorphanol, a substance related to codeine. The cough suppressant ability of the opiates act on the cough center located in the medulla oblongata and raises the threshold of the cough reflex. It does not have other opiate effects such as analgesia, sedation, or constipation. DXM is found in over 75 OTC medications. Recent research is examining DXM as an anti-epileptic, neuroprotector and anti-parkinson agent. However, DXM's antagonism of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor NMDA ; by way of its immediate metabolite dextrorthan leads to its potential as a substance of abuse when used in greater than recommended dosages. Dextrorthan's effect can last 3 - 6 hours and cause a PCP intoxication - like syndrome. Thus, DXM has been classified as an dissociative agent, much like PCP and Ketamine. With DXM intoxication, one can see hyperexcitability, lethargy, ataxia, slurred speech, hypertension, elevated heart rate, nystagmus and hallucinations. It is also thought that DXM can cause the release of serotonin. If used with an antidepressant of the SSRI class Prozac, Paxil, etc. ; , it can cause a potentially fatal condition know as the Serotonin Excess Syndrome. Information from Internet sites advise and instruct the potential user on how to "trip" using DXM called "roboing" or "robo-copping, " a slang term derived from Robitussin ; which is contained in Robitussin Maximum Strength, Vicks 44 and Drixoral Cough.The Internet sites also provide access for the purchase of purified pharmaceutical - grade powdered DXM through the mail. Instruction is given in mixing the powder with juice to avoid its bitter taste or how to obtain gelatin capsules that can be filled with the powder. One site teaches the uninitiated how to dose DXM - called plateaus, being aware that a 4 ounce bottle of DXM cough syrup contains 354 mg DXM. The first plateau, 100-250 mg of DXM consumed, leads to euphoria. Plateau 2 is 250 - 450 mg and the user sees increased euphoria, and a decrease in the sense of time and surroundings. The 3rd plateau is 450 - 800 mg and includes plateau 1 and 2 reactions plus visual hallucinations. Even the Internet sites caution the user of the 4th 800-1800mg ; and the 5th over 1800mg ; plateaus as being very dangerous with profuse sweats, extreme nausea and blackouts. Other problems with DXM use is that many of the OTC preparations are not pure DXM and may contain acetaminophen, antihistamines or stimulants that can cause a severe side effect if taken in excess. Also, DXM can be found in the form of a bromide salt which can lead to bromide poisoning if large quantities are taken. Bromide poisoning is manifested by: behavior changes, headaches, apathy, irritation, slurred speech, psychosis, tremors, ataxia, hallucinations, weight loss, acne like rash, and coma. Figure 2.

As an adjuvant to opioids for the treatment of postoperative pain, IV and epidural kstamine has an opioid sparing effect Subramaniam et al 2004, Level I ; . Best effects were seen when ketamine was given as a continuous IV infusion, while there was no evidence supporting the addition of ketamine to PCA morphine. Ietamine side effects were not apparent at the low doses used. In spite of an opioid sparing effect, no reduction of opioid-related side effects could be shown. In patients with severe pain that was incompletely relieved by morphine, the addition of ketamine to the morphine regimen provided rapid, effective and prolonged analgesia Weinbroum 2003, Level II ; . Individual studies of dextromethorphan have produced a wide range of contradictory results Ilkjaer et al.

FINDINGS: Approximately half of the students who need treatment need help for both alcohol and drug abuse rather than for either of these alone. Approximately 1 out of 5 seniors 21% ; and 1 out of 6 students in grade 10 16% ; need treatment for substance abuse; more than 50% of these students who need treatment need help for both an alcohol and drug abuse problem. Very few students in the lower grades need substance abuse treatment, but given the seriousness of the diagnosis, the percentages are still alarmingly high. NOTES: Alcohol Abuse Only includes students classified as dependent on or abusers of alcohol according to the DSM-III-R criteria, but who are not dependent on or abusers of illicit drugs. Drug Abuse Only includes students classified as dependent on or abusers of at least one illicit drug according to the DSM-III-R criteria, but who are not dependent on or abusers of alcohol. Illicit drug dependency abuse is assessed for marijuana, stimulants, depressants, "club drugs" ecstasy MDMA, GHB, Rohypnol, or ketamine ; , and hallucinogens. Both Alcohol and Drug Abuse includes students classified as dependent on or abusers of both alcohol and illicit drugs.

Ketamine offers another option. When ketamine is used for pain management in low doses or by the oral route, the side effects are much reduced. Adverse effects reported in studies of lower doses given to adults by the oral route include lightheadedness, dizziness, tiredness, headache, nervous floating sensation, bad dreams, and sensory changes. Dextromethorphan, an antitussive, is used to relieve a nonproductive cough caused by a cold, the flu, or other conditions. A clinical trial of an NMDA-receptor antagonist, memantine NamendaTM namenda ; , in patients with advanced Alzheimer disease has been reported. Some pain physicians have been prescribing this drug off-label for neuropathic pain, but further studies are needed to determine its effectiveness ACTIVATING MEDICATIONS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM STIMULANTS ; Side effects from medications prescribed for chronic pain can be bothersome at the least and, if significant enough, may cause the need to discontinue the offending medication. One of these side effects is daytime drowsiness, making it difficult for the individual to function and carry out day to day activities and work. Rather than give up the benefits of the prescribed medication, some physicians will try to treat the side effect of sleepiness and lethargy by prescribing an "activating" medication such as methylphenidate Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate ; , dextroamphetamine Dexedrine ; , modafinil Provigil ; , and combination products Adderall ; . Methylphenidate Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate ; is a medication prescribed for individuals usually children ; who have an abnormally high level of activity or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD ; . It is central nervous system CNS ; stimulant. It has effects similar to, but more potent than, caffeine and less potent than amphetamines. It is occasionally used off-label as a stimulant when daytime sleepiness from chronic pain medications is a problem. When used appropriately, it can be effective, but it does have potential for abuse and addiction nida.nih.gov Infofax ritalin ; . Marked anxiety, tension, and agitation are contraindications to methylphenidate since the drug may aggravate these symptoms. Methylphenidate should be given cautiously to emotionally unstable patients and those with a history of drug dependence or alcoholism, as they may increase the dose on their own initiative. Dextroamphetamine Dexedrine ; is an amphetamine used to treat narcolepsy and attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder in children. In some cases, this drug has been used to treat depression or as an adjunct in the treatment of exogenous obesity. This drug is from a family of drugs known as central nervous system stimulants. Modafinil Provigil - provigil ; is approved by the FDA to improve wakefulness in patients with excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and shift work sleep disorder. It is also being used off-label for persons with chronic pain and excessive daytime sleepiness. It is generally well tolerated, with mild to moderate side.

Immune" camps. Also evident was the absolute "distaste" for the mention of academics. I stand strongly behind the convictions expressed above. I would politely challenge anyone to produce a model that has succeeded for any disease in the past, without ultimate evolution and definition by defined studies, acceptable at Academic levels. Without objectivity, no therapy can be appropriately evaluated, nor will new therapies already in existence ; become accessible. While metabolic vs. immune discussions are interesting, the only major change on the near horizon, will be if the idea of immune-modulators agents already in existence, but for which we must provide an objective basis to open the doors to their usage ; can be tried, and is optimistically successful many researchers I have been involved with over the last five to ten years, believe success is likely, but remain skeptical till proven ; . While we "debate" other ideas and options, I believe it is urgent to accelerate efforts to make possible testing of these agents in autistic syndrome children as soon as possible! As noted, with increased discussions already appearing relating to "auto-immune", "inflammatory", origins for "sub-populations" of children, I would propose without hesitation, that "immunemodulating" agents if effective, will be far safer than steroids or other agents nodiscussed, and needless to say, a better alternative than discussing surgery or severe behavior therapies for these dysfunctional children. Examining the last ten to twelve years, it has become obvious we are looking at new patterns of disease and illness, that do not fit previously described syndromes, etc. Attending conferences over the last 7 years, being exposed to many "cutting edge" technologies and ideas, one trend emerges. We are looking at a process, appearing to decrease flow function in the temporal lobe of the brain other areas may be affected, but the temporal lobe I would propose is the key and common denominator in this process ; affecting individuals differently based on their age, and maturation of their immune system. The common denominator making sense through these discussions has been the immune system and a state of "dysregulation". I would propose to all of you, that while many metabolic and other phenomena, make sense when thought of in a state of or propensity for immune activation dysregulation, no known pediatric or adults metabolic process makes sense as a model for a "primary" metabolic defect in these children and related patients. Therefore, while we may to some degree help the body metabolicly, develop new markers, and even answer some very interesting questions over the next ten years, we are unlikely to make major medical changes or even approach a cure while focusing on and dealing with what appears to be "secondary" metabolic phenomena, explainable fully by altered cellular metabolism a fact brought out in many respectable articles over the last 5 years, and accepted at NIH Academic levels, etc. ; . This is a dysfunction that is logical secondary to altered cellular mitochondria and immune reactive phenomena. In this light, why are many physicians and researchers trying to "reinvent the wheel", when there are models andvolving technologies explaining all we are discussing logically and with more and more factual physiology. Because, there are still gaps in the above physiologic.
Periodic blood pressure and heart rate measurements were obtained to determine the effectiveness of the pharmacologic treatment. The mean blood pressure mm Hg ; was recorded while monkeys were sedated with ketamine, and with the use of a Doppler ultrasound apparatus Arteriosonde 1010, Roche ; . These measurements were taken on three occasions, once before the animals' assignment to conditions, and during experimental months 6 and 12. Heart rate determinations were made via telemetry while animals were in their social groupings. In making these recordings, animals were first anesthetized and fitted with portable electrocardiographic ECG ; telemetry units Life Systems Engineering these devices were held in place by nylon mesh jackets and maintained for five days. Heart rates were monitored remotely and all measurements were taken on days following animals' recovery from anesthesia. The heart rate determinations were made, as described by us previously, under three standardized conditions, termed "baseline, " "stress, " and "minimal stimulation" 25 ; . Briefly, the baseline heart rates were obtained during a period of relative quiet when no human beings were visible to the monkeys. Stress heart rate measurements were col.
