Background: Gabapentin is a safe and well-tolerated anticonvulsant with a wide therapeutic index, and it is used for neuropathic pain. The aim of this study was to compare previous dosing methods with the administration of four different doses of gabapentin while maintaining the same maximum daily dose for the safe administration of high doses of the medication. Methods: The subjects were outpatients with various neuropathic pain syndromes, with at least two of the following symptoms: allodynia, burning pain, shooting pain, or hyperalgesia. The TID group received equal doses of gabapentin 3 times per day, while the QID group received 4 different doses of gabapentin per day. The pain score, frequency of breakthrough pain (BTP), severity and the duration of pain, sleep disturbance due to nocturnal pain, and adverse effects were recorded each day. Results: The average daily pain score and sleep disturbance were significantly reduced in the QID group between days 3 and 10 of the experiment. The adverse effects of the medication were also reduced in the QID group. However, the frequency of BTP and severity and duration of pain were not significantly different between two groups. Conclusions: Administration of 4 different doses of gabapentin during the initial titration in outpatients with neuropathic pain resulted in a significant reduction in awakening from breakthrough pain and a reduction in the adverse effects of the medication.

A multielectrode-based electrochemical cell allows the structural characterization of an amorphous thin-film water oxidation catalyst under various electrochemical potentials using high-energy X-ray scattering and atomic pair distribution function (PDF) techniques. A multielectrode with five electrodes provides a sufficiently low background signal to enable high-energy X-ray scattering (HEXS) measurements and amplifies the extremely low HEXS signals from samples for high-resolution PDF analysis of in situ data from thinfilm catalysts. Glassy carbon (GC) creates a relatively low intensity HEXS pattern and is used as a working electrode. Instead of a three-dimensional (3D) porous electrode architecture, the flat geometry of the electrode enables various deposition techniques to be used for the preparation of a highly conductive metal oxide layer. PDF analysis demonstrates high spatial resolution for a 230 nm thick amorphous iridium oxide film deposited on two roughened 60 μm thick GC electrodes. The PDF analysis resolves the domain size and distinguishes changes in fine structure which are directly correlated with the structure and function of the catalysts. The results bring the opportunity to analyze the structure of nanometre-scale amorphous thin-film catalysts in an electrolyte-compatible and compact 3D-printed electrochemical cell in a threeelectrode configuration.

Background: We investigated the correction methods following wrong-settings of emulsion concentrations of propofol as a countermeasure against erroneous target-controlled infusions (TCI). Methods: TCIs were started with targeting 4.0 μg/ml of effect-site concentration (Ceff) of propofol, and the emulsion concentrations were selected for 2.0% instead of 1.0% (FALSE1-2, n = 24), or 1.0% instead of 2.0% (FALSE2-1, n = 24). These wrong TCIs were corrected at 3 min after infusion start. During FALSE1-2, the deficit was filled up while injecting after equilibrium (n = 12), or while overriding (n = 12). During FALSE2-1, the overdose was evacuated while targeting Ceff (n = 12) or targeting plasma concentration (Cp) (n = 12). The gravimetrical measurements of TCI reproduced the Cp and Ceff using simulations. The reproduced Ceff at 3 min (Ceff-3min) and the time to be normalized within ± 5% of target Ceff (T±5%), were compared between the correction methods. Results: During the wrong TCI, Ceff-3min was 1.98 ± 0.01 μ/ml in FALSE1-2, and 7.99 ± 0.05 μ/ml in FALSE2-1. In FALSE1-2, T±5% was significantly shorter when corrected while overriding (3.9 ± 0.25 min), than corrected after equilibrium (6.9 ± 0.05 min) (P < 0.001). In FALSE2-1, T±5% was significantly shorter during targeting Cp (3.6 ± 0.04 min) than targeting Ceff (6.7 ± 0.15 min) (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The correction methods, based on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics, could effectively and rapidly normalize the wrong TCI following erroneously selections of the emulsion concentration of propofol.

Zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nano-Fe°) in aqueous solution rapidly inactivated Escherichia coli. A strong bactericidal effect of nano-Fe° was found under deaerated conditions, with a linear correlation between log inactivation and nano-Fe° dose (0.82 log inactivation/mg/L nano-Fe°·h). The inactivation of E. coli under air saturation required much higher nano-Fe° doses due to the corrosion and surface oxidation of nano-Fe° by dissolved oxygen. Significant physical disruption of the cell membranes was observed in E. coli exposed to nano-Fe°, which may have caused the inactivation or enhanced the biocidal effects of dissolved iron. The reaction of Fe(II) with intracellular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide also may have induced oxidative stress by producing reactive oxygen species. The bactericidal effect of nano-Fe° was a unique property of nano-Fe°, which was not observed in other types of iron-based compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: It is widely accepted that cervical interlaminar steroid injection (CIESI) is more effective in treating radicular pain than axial neck pain, but without direct comparison. And the differences of effect after CIESI according to MRI findings are inconsistent. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the therapeutic response of CIESI according to pain sites, durations, MRI findings, and other predictive factors altogether, unlike previous studies, which evaluated them separately. Methods: The medical records of 128 patients who received fluoroscopy guided CIESI were analyzed. We evaluated the therapeutic response (more than a 50% reduction on the visual analog scale [VAS] by their second visit) after CIESI by (1) pain site; neck pain without radicular pain/radicular pain with or without neck pain, (2) pain duration; acute/chronic (more than 6 month), and (3) findings of MRI; herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD)/spinal stenosis, respectively and altogether. Results: Eighty-eight patients (68%) responded to CIESI, and there were no significant differences in demographic data, initial VAS score, or laboratory findings. And there were no significant differences in the response rate relating to pain site, pain duration, or MRI findings, respectively. In additional analysis, acute radicular pain with HIVD patients showed significantly better response than chronic neck pain with spinal stenosis (P = 0.04). Conclusions: We cannot find any sole predictive factor of therapeutic response to the CIESI. But the patients having acute radicular pain with HIVD showed the best response, and those having other chronic neck pain showed the worst response to CIESI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cholinergic urticaria with acquired generalized hypohidrosis, and its pathophysiology is not well known. Autoimmunity to sweat glands or to acetylcholine receptors on sweat glands has been mentioned as one of the possible etiologies. Systemic steroid therapy, antihistamines, anticholinergics, and avoidance of the stimulatory situations are recommended for treatment. We experienced a case of cholinergic urticaria with acquired generalized hypohidrosis in a patient who had no other associated disease, and the symptoms eased after repeated bilateral stellate ganglion block. Stellate ganglion block normalized the elevated sympathetic tone and may relieve symptoms in patients with this condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
