Express pharma pulse, multi-component drug delivery system: an emerging trend feb 8, 2006. A therapeutic or pharmacologic drug classification term and a numeric code designation appear in specific IPA information fields. The terms and their corresponding numeric codes are listed on page 73 of this Guide. The term can be searched specifically in the Therapeutic Classification field or as a subject index term descriptor ; since it is also used as a primary controlled subject index term. These terms and codes are a part of the AHFS Pharmacologic-Therapeutic Classification system, for instance, metabolism of phenytoin. The hospital P&T committee's task is best summarized as follows: to select IV antibiotics preferably with longer dosing intervals, a low resistance potential, and a good safety profile ; that have oral equivalents for an IV-to-PO switch program. Working in concert with the pharmacy department and infectious disease clinicians, P&T committees should implement a comprehensive IV-to-PO switch program in the institution. The most cost-effective approach would be not to use not the least expensive agent but to use the one that is the most potent and free of side effects and resistance, with conversion to an.

Tongrong He, Timothy E Peterson, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; Larry W Oberley, Univ of Iowa, Iowa City, IA; Noel M Caplice, Zvonimir S Katusic; Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN Circulating EPCs play an important role in repair of injured vascular endothelium and neovascularization. Oxidative stress is a key mechanism responsible for endothelial dysfunction and progression of vascular disease. We hypothesized that EPCs might be resistant to oxidative stress due to their high antioxidant capacity. Outgrowth colonies of EPCs isolated from human blood were cultured and expanded passage 4 7 were used ; . Cobblestone appearance, incorporation of acetylated LDL and isolectin, as well as expression of vWF, Flk-1 and eNOS indicated endothelial phenotype. FACS analysis showed that more than 98% of EPCs were positive for CD31 and CD144. Basal levels of MnSOD protein expression and enzymatic activity were about 3-fold higher in EPCs as compared to HUVECs; Table ; . In contrast, no difference was detected in expression and enzymatic activity of CuZnSOD or catalase n 3 ; . Incubation with increasing concentrations of TNF- 0.01, and 0.5 ng ml ; for 24 h significantly increased expression of MnSOD in EPCs. Induction of MnSOD by TNF- was significantly higher in EPCs as compared to HUVECs Table ; . TNF- did not affect expression of CuZnSOD or catalase. EPCs were resistant to cytotoxic effect of TNF- 0.1 ng ml, for 72 h ; . Survival rate was 77 0.1% n 3 ; for EPCs, but only 43 0.1% n 3; P 0.05 ; for HUVECs. These results suggest that increase in MnSOD is an important mechanism underlying resistance of EPCs to oxidative stress, which may contribute to the therapeutic effects of EPCs. Table: Protein levels of MnSOD Data are mean SD n 3 ; , expressed as ratio to HUVECs control. * P 0.05 vs. Purpose: To identify the features of diurnal variation of intraocular pressure IOP ; in normaltension glaucoma NTG ; . Design: Retrospective study. Participants: A total of 569 patients diagnosed as NTG suspects at our outpatient clinic between 1989 and 2003 based on structural and functional abnormality indicating glaucoma but lacking high IOP 20 mmHg ; and underlying pathology. Intervention: Goldmann applanation tonometry was repeatedly performed for 24 hrs at 2-hr intervals without medication or after 4-week discontinuation of all medications. Main outcome measure: 24-hr IOP variation. Results: Thirty patients 5% ; showed high IOP 21 mmHg ; at least one eye during the IOP phasing. In the remaining 539 established NTG cases, the average, maximum and minimum IOPs were 13.9 2.0 mmHg mean SD ; , 16.1 2.2 mmHg, and 11.7 2.1 mmHg, respectively. The diurnal variation ranged from 1 to 10 mmHg and averaged 4.4 1.6 mmHg. The peak IOP was recorded during 0800-1600 hrs in 66.6% of the cases and the trough during 2400-0400 hrs in 44.2%. Of 554 patients excluding 15 cases with PE materials and showing all IOPs during office hours 1000-1600 ; within 20 mmHg, 13 patients 2.3% ; showed an IOP over 20 mmHg at least once outside of the office hours. Conclusions: Basic features of diurnal IOP variation have been elucidated in NTG suspects. Approximately 5% of NTG suspects showed IOP over 20 mmHg during 24-hr IOP phasing. References: 1.

The provider sends the claim with the TPL attachment to Medicaid's Fiscal Agent. The claim and attachments are forwarded to Medicaid's TPL unit in Tallahassee for review. If payment documentation is appropriate, the TPL unit instructs the fiscal agent to pay the claim. If the Tallahassee TPL unit determines that documentation is not sufficient or invalid, the fiscal agent is instructed to deny payment. The provider can fax or mail insurance termination notice to the Area Medicaid office. Area office staff will forward to the TPL unit for verification. Once verified, the TPL unit will update the Medicaid Management Information System to show termination of coverage date. Area 7 Medicaid serves providers in Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Brevard counties. The Provider Services Unit is available to assist providers with TPL problems or questions at 407 ; 245-0862 and persantine. Phenytoin conversion iv to poPanayiotopoulos CP, Obeid T, Tahan AR.

COMBINING BEHAVIOR WITH in vivo NEURAL IMAGING TO STUDY PLASTICITY IN THE C. elegans TOUCH CIRCUIT K KINDT, K QUAST, I NICASTRO, W SCHAFER The C. elegans touch circuit has been shown to undergo habituation, a simple form of non-associative learning and memory that that allows organisms to ignore irrelevant, repeated stimulation Rankin et al 1990 ; . In response to a non-localized tap to the culture plate, the C. elegans touch neurons are activated. The initial response is a reversal; following repeated tap stimulation, there is a decrease in both reversal rate and reversal distance. Previously we showed that a D1-like dopamine receptor DOP-1, and dopamine deficient mutant, cat-2 habituated faster than wildtype animals and that this effect may be acting at the level of the sensory neurons Sanyal et al, 2004 ; . Preliminary results indicate that Gq-alpha egl-30 ; is the effector of DOP-1 in tap habituation, as egl-30 loss of function mutants show a precocious habituation phenotype similar to dop-1 mutants. Similar results were seen in pkc-1 mutants, suggesting a possible signaling pathway in the sensory neurons. We are currently using the genetically encoded FRET based calcium sensor, cameleon to examine the effects of dop-1, egl-30 and pkc-1 on the mechanosensory response of the touch receptor neurons. After repeated stimulation, our results suggest that the touch neurons of these mutants adapt faster than wildtype. In addition to cameleon, we have begun using another FRET based sensor, CKAR Violin et al 2003 ; , which measures PKC activity. We are currently characterizing PKC response to touch in wildtype, egl-30, dop-1 and pkc-1 mutant backgrounds. Together, these experiments will address key unanswered questions regarding the molecular mechanisms of neural plasticity in C. elegans, and are likely to provide insight into parallel processes in vertebrates.

MONOAMINE OXIDASE A AND SEROTONIN TRANSPORTER HAPLOTYPE INFLUENCES EMOTION REGULATION IN RESPONSE TO MATERNAL SEPARATION IN INFANT RHESUS MACAQUES EL KINNALLY, GM KARERE, SP MENDOZA, WA MASON, LA LYONS, TR FAMULA, JP CAPITANIO Functional polymorphism in the regulatory regions of genes associated with neural monoaminergic function has been linked with monoamine utilization, neural activation, and consequent behavior. We investigated the association between infant rhesus macaque emotion regulation and two candidate gene promoter polymorphisms upstream of monoamine oxidase A rhMAO-A-LPR ; and serotonin transporter rh5-HTTLPR ; genes. Responses to a variety of novel situations events were recorded in infant rhesus macaques 3-4 months of age N 469 ; during a 24-hour separation from mothers and or social groups and a composite score of emotional reactivity was calculated. Rh5-HTTLPR and rhMAO-A-LPR genotypes were categorized based on previously established transcriptional activity levels rhMAOALPR: high, low and high low heterozygous activity groups; rh-5-HTTLPR: high and low activity groups ; . Contrasts among haplotypes were computed using quantitative genetics software which incorporates pedigree analysis. Haplotypes differed in their association with measures of emotional reactivity. Heteroor homozygosity for high activity alleles, when paired with a high activity rh5-HTTLPR genotype, is associated with the lowest emotional reactivity of all haplotypes p .05 ; . High or low activity rhMAO-ALPR genotype, when paired with a low activity rh5-HTTLPR genotype, resulted in the highest levels of emotional reactivity all p .05 ; . There were no sex differences in any behavioral measure. These results suggest that serotonin pathway polymorphisms act cooperatively in their association with emotion regulation in infant rhesus macaques.
