Distribution azathioprine and mercaptopurine are approximately 30% bound to serum proteins. Greater Manchester Interface Prescribing Group Online Meeting, March 2007 Replacing the postponed meeting scheduled for the 8th March 2007 ; 1. Minutes of the previous meeting of the 11th January 2006 Accepted as an accurate record, to post on website. 2. Matters arising a. Nebido testosterone implants DC made enquiries concerning the requirement for a SCG for Nebido. Comments were received from the endocrinology team at Salford Hospital, who declared that they did not consider a SCG necessary because they have been prescribing the product since it was launched without incident and that there are similar products available that do not require a SCG because they are indicated green on the GMMMG red amber green list of drugs. The item was deferred for discussion at the May meeting. b. Mercaptopurine in Crohn's Disease AG enquired as to the use of mercaptopurine for this indication and consequently revealed that it is rarely prescribed within Manchester Children's for Crohns' disease i.e. two patients in the last year and on both occasions prescribing and monitoring remained within secondary care ; . c. Amiodarone Information sheet Comments have been invited with some already received. For ratification at the May meeting. d. Carbimazole Information sheet Comments have been invited. Drug red amber green status to be discussed, and if necessary document ratified, at May meeting. e. Deferasirox AG has spoken again to the appropriate Consultant Haematologist about developing a SCG and has a pharmacist assisting. It has been indicated that a SCG is imminent for ratification at the May meeting. f. Depot Neuroleptics No developments reported. g. London Drug Monitoring Table now on website, under publications open access ; . h. Mycophenolate, tacrolimus, sirolimus & ciclosporin KM reported that GPs and PCTs are receiving queries regarding the status of these drugs. No further information has been received, for discussion at the May meeting. i. Information sheets for red drugs BR reported that the GMMMG do not consider this to be a role of the Interface Prescribing Group. Prior to the establishment of the Interface Group it was recognised that not all prescribers would adhere to guidance produced by the group and there may be situations where the prescribing of a red drug was appropriate for a local health community and if this was the case then it is the responsibility of the local PCT to provide the advisory role to these GPs. Tobacco or health 1602: an Elizabethan doctor speaks old people are too dry and hard to absorb water `that alimentall humour which Nature dooth daily send to them for their sustenance and reliefe'. He compares this state in old people to that of heavy smokers: In like case the firme and sollide parts of mans body, being over drie and hardned by the long and continuall use of Tabacco, do with more difficultie receive and imbybe into them the alimentall humiditie before specified. [Similarly the firm and solid parts of man's body, being dry and hardened by the long and continual use of tobacco, become resistant to this absorption of water.] 6 ; Sixtly, for that this herb or rather weed, seemeth not voide of venome and poison, and thereby seemeth an enemie to the lyfe of man. [Sixthly, this herb, or rather weed, seems to contain venom and poison and therefore seems to be a hazard to human life.] How right he was! There are over 4000 chemicals present in tobacco smoke, many of them poisonous US Environmental Protection Agency, 1993 ; . Nicotine, the deadly poisonous alkaloid, was not isolated from tobacco until 1828 Posselt and Reimann, 1828 ; , but its effects were clear to Philaretes in 1602. Addiction is obviously a major issue with him and, for this reason, it is worthwhile following him into another of his parables. He describes the addictive nature of tobacco in terms of the venom of a scorpion: .which neuer receiveth cure but from the Scorpion it selfe, bruised and annointed on the place stung. In like case the venemous impression left in the stomacke by Tabacco, receiveth no ease by any thing else whatsoever, but by Tabacco onely, eftsoone reiterated and refumed. This onely difference seemeth to be betweene these two poysons. That the venome of the Scorpion hath his perfect and absolute cure from the Scorpion it selfe, but that of Tabacco hath only a certaine ease and paliation for a time by the fume of Tabacco received; but after perfect and absolute cure, this Tabacco by it selfe a thousand times refumed or reiterated, admitteth none. [.which can only be cured by the application of crushed scorpion to the sting. Similarly the poisonous effect of tobacco on the stomach can only be eased by tobacco itself, smoked frequently again and again. The only difference between the two poisons seems to be that the venom of the scorpion is completely cured by the scorpion itself, but that of tobacco is only eased or palliated for a time by tobacco, and never cured by it.] He also talks about smoke inhalation, implying, as we now know, that smoke is most harmful when drawn down into the lungs Doll and Peto, 1976 ; : Fewe or none do take it downe their throates, and such as let it pass down.swallow it in so small quantitie, as that no great detriment can happen to them thereby. But if happily [haply] any, more audacious than circumspect, shall let downe any large quantitie thereof, then shal you evidently perceive in him, most of those accidents before specified. The `accidents' are a long list of ills, including vomiting, cramps, loss of feeling or sight, giddiness, faintness and even untimely death, but Philaretes is particularly puzzled by the narcotic effect, wondering why it is so similar to that of Opium and Henbane which were considered, in contemporary medicine, to be extremely cold, whilst tobacco was considered to be hot and dry. Almost three centuries before Darwin and Lamarck were shocking the 19th Century public with their evolutionary theories, and Mendel opened up the field of genetics, Philaretes was pondering these issues. Why had the `Indians' in the New World, who had made wide and constant use of tobacco over centuries, not been poisoned by it? Were they genetically different in some way from the English Survival of the Fittest? ; or had they adapted to tobacco over a long period of use Adaptation? ; . He comes to no conclusion, but it seems amazing that he asks the question: To this may be answered, that the oddes and diversitie of their bodies and humours from ours, 7 of 11.

Women receiving mercaptopurine in the first trimester of pregnancy have an increased incidence of abortion; the risk of malformation in offspring surviving first trimester exposure is not accurately known. Current epidemiology The incidence according to USA CF Register is 3.2% overall with a peak incidence of 8% in 18 year old patients. However, there is variation between CF Centres from 0% to 27%. There are 9 distinct species Genomovars ; in the B.cepacia complex eg B. cepacia is genomovar I, B.multivorans is GII GIII is pending. Genomovar III is the most common 50% of infected patients in USA have type III, 30% with GII 80% of cepacia complex patients in Canada are GIII. Most epidemic strains are GIII. There is a growing sense the GIII strains are more virulent and spread more readily in CF. Mortality in CF patients with GIII is 43% vs 16% if infected with GII. Lung transplant patients with type III show markedly increased short-term mortality the UK transplant centre at Newcastle now includes such infection as a contra -indication to transplant given the early mortality Page 30 of 48 and mesna.

Mercaptopurine leukopenia From several other ethnic minority groups in Burma, Shan refugees receive no assistance from international aid groups. The result of the Thai policy has meant that until the present, any Shan refugees fleeing to Thailand have been forced to try and survive as illegal migrants.

Under the first scenario, costs were calculated as those of statin therapy, drug monitoring, adverse experiences, and major coronary events. Under the second scenario, costs were calculated as the costs of major coronary events only. The difference in costs between the treatment and nontreatment scenarios incremental cost ; was described both on a per patient basis and for the U.S. population with diabetes and no history of CHD. Sensitivity analyses Sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the impact of plausible changes in underlying assumption on the results. The base-case analysis was performed with the least-expensive statin for each LDL cholesterol stratum. Sensitivity analyses were performed by increasing or decreasing the cost of statins or major coronary events by 25% or the incidence of major coronary events with or without statin treatment by 25%. Increasing or decreasing the cost of major coronary events by 25% changed the cost from approximately , 400 to , 600 or , 300. If all subjects requiring revascularization underwent CABG and none PTCA, the cost of a major coronary event would be , 400, similar to the upper bound of the sensitivity analysis. Likewise, if all subjects underwent PTCA and none CABG the cost of a major coronary event and mesoridazine.

The bombing of Dresden has given birth to a large body of literature, both of accusation and justification. In addition to the previously cited works by David Irving and Alexander McKee, both highly critical of Allied policy, one should read the official AAF historical study on Dresden, "Historical Analysis of the 1415 February 1945 Bombing of Dresden, " prepared by chief historian Charles Angell in 1953, which can be found in the AFHSO Dresden Subject File; and Melden E.

Patients were evaluable for the study. The treatment protocol was approved by the institutional review board, and signed informed consent was obtained from the patients' parents or guardians. The diagnosis of ALL was based on morphologic and cytochemical evaluation of bone marrow smears as well as immunophenotyping and cytogenetic and molecular genetic analysis of leukemic blast cells. Depending on the pattern of blast cell reactivity to a panel of monoclonal antibodies, cases were classified as T-cell or B-cell precursor, as previously described.14 Flow cytometric determination of blast-cell DNA content was part of the routine evaluation; cases were classified according to the DNA index ratio of DNA content in leukemic cells versus normal diploid G0 G1 cells ; as less than 1.16 or more than or equal to 1.16. All patients underwent lumbar puncture at the time of diagnostic bone marrow aspiration, and the cerebrospinal fluid was examined as previously described.15, 16 The CNS status of each patient was defined as follows: i ; CNS-1, no identifiable blast cells in an atraumatic sample; ii ; CNS-2, less than 5 leukocytes L with identifiable blast cells in an atraumatic sample; iii ; CNS-3, 5 or more leukocytes L with identifiable blast cells in an atraumatic sample or the presence of cranial nerve palsy; iv ; traumatic lumbar puncture without blasts, 10 or more erythrocytes L without identifiable blasts; and v ; traumatic lumbar puncture with blasts, 10 or more erythrocytes L with identifiable blasts. Minimal residual disease was determined by flow cytometry, as previously described.17 Risk classification Patients were assigned to a higher- or lower-risk group on the basis of their presenting clinical features, the biologic features of their leukemic cells, and their early response to remission-induction treatment. Patients were considered to have lower-risk ALL if they were 1 to 9 years old with a presenting leukocyte count less than 50 109 L or had a DNA index of 1.16 or more; however, they could not have a CNS-3 status; testicular leukemia documented by ultrasonographic examination a T-cell immunophenotype, the t 9; 22 ; , t 4; associated with a preB immunophenotype, an MLL gene rearrangement, or near-haploidy; nor could their bone marrow contain 5% or more leukemic blasts on day 15 of remission induction day 19 after the start of up-front therapy ; . All other patients were classified as higher risk. Treatment Patients were stratified by age, leukocyte count, immunophenotype, and sex, and randomized to receive 1 of 3 up-front therapies: intravenous mercaptopurine alone 1 g m2 over 6 hours low-dose oral methotrexate and methimazole.

Bands were induced by CPT, TPT, and W2, but not by W1 or NB506 Fig. 7 ; . These results are consistent with the model that top I is ubiquitinated before degradation. We did not observe significant down-regulation of top I in Fig. 7 because 10 min of drug treatment is too short a time to observe down-regulation. The formation of PLDBs is an intermediate step in the cytotoxic mechanism of topoisomerase inhibitors. Therefore, we measured the induction of PLDBs by the five drugs to determine whether there is a correlation between the induction of PLDBs and top I down-regulation. As a cautionary note, we point out that although W1 and W2 act primarily via top I, these CPT VP-16 conjugates may also induce PLDBs via a top II-mediated mechanism. We observed that all five drugs induced PLDBs in a dosage-dependent manner Fig. 8 ; . CPT and TPT induced the highest percentage of PLDBs, whereas W2, W1, and NB506 had weaker effects. However, because 10 M W2, W1, and NB506 induced similar levels of and methocarbamol.
