[Penetration of cephaloridine and cephalothin into the cerebrospinal fluid-clinical study (author's transl)].

There were 35 cases, treated with Cephaloridine or Cephalothin after neurosurgical operation. Neurological surgeon always troubled with passage of blood-brain barrier when drug was given. Antibiotics was not exceptionally, therefore we, neurological surgeon, must select the effective drug to bacterium, that which penetrated enough to the intracranial organ through the blood-brain barrier. In this paper, we measured the concentration of Cephaloridine and Cephalothin into cerebrospinal fluid in the cases with non inflammatory meninges. We collected the cerebrospinal fluid from continued ventricle tap and serum, then measured the concentration of the drug with bioassay. Cephaloridie treated cases. 22 cases. 1) 1 g intramuscular injection. 4 cases. Serum level got to highest value, 64 mug/ml (mean value) 1 hour after injection. CSF level got to maximum concentration 46.8 mug/ml. (mean value) serum mean level 21.5 mug/ml. CSF mean level 0.73 mug/ml. 2) 1 g 3 minutes-intravenous injection 5 cases. Serum level got to highest value 67.5 mug/ml. CSF maximum level was 5.25 mug/ml. Serum mean level 19.74 mug/ml. CSF mean level 0.61 mug/ml. 3) 1 g 1 hour-intravenous drip. 9 cases. Serum maximum level 121.0 mug/ml. CSF maximum level 2.30 mug/ml. Serum mean level 20.08 mug/ml. CSF mean level 0.67 mug/ml. 4) 1 g 8 hours-intravenous drip. 3 cases. Serum maximum level 61.0 mug/ml. CSF maximum level 1.36 mug/ml. Serum mean level 14.78 mug/ml. CSF mean level 0.47 mug/ml. Cephalothin treated cases, 12 cases. 1) 1 g 8 hours-intravenous drip, 4 cases. In fact we could detect the drug only in one case, in CSF, and we could not in other three cases. In KF - 4 case, serum maximum concentration was 26.0 mug/ml, CSF maximum concentration was 0.07 mug/ml. Serum mean level 16.97 mug/ml. CSF mean level 0.01 mug/ml 2) 2 g 1 hour-intravenous drip, 9 cases. Serum maximum level 690.0 mug/ml. CSF maximum level 2.03 mug/ml. Serum mean level 29.59 mug/ml. CSF mean level 0.06 mug/ml. In cephaloridine cases, the tendency was observed, that which, as concentration of the drug in CSF increased, cell count and protein decreased, and, as concentration of the drug decreased, cell count and protein increased. CSF/serum concentration ratio of Cephaloridine increased, when time passed, in intramuscular, 3 minutes intravenous, and 1 hour-intravenous drip group. Then only in 8-hours-intravenous prip group. Then only in 8-hours-intravenous drip group, concentration ratio decreased. In Cephaloridine group, mean value of CSF/serum ratio showed. 1 g i.m. 0.084 1 g 3 minutes-i.v. 0.098 1 g 1 hour-i.v. 0.194 1 g 8 hours-i.v. 0.044.

Atrial excitation sequence during ectopic atrial beats in the rabbit.

The propagation process of the atrial excitation was investigated during ectopic atrial rhythms evoked by electrical pacing through stimulation at several sites in 35 isolated rabbit atria using intracellular microelectrodes. Excitation sequences was correlated with the atrial deflections in a distant bipolar electrogram representing a cranio-caudal atrial activation. The conduction velocity was faster along the crista terminalis but slower across the coronary sinus ostium than in the ordinary atrial muscle. These differences in conduction velocity resulted in the upward artial deflection on the distant bipolar electrogram in the rhythm which was produced by stimulation at the right side of the lower interatrial septum. On a function as a preferential conduction pathway in the case of left to right direction of excitation, as in left atrial rhythm. On stimulation of the postero-inferior region of the left atrium, the region around the coronary sinus ostium was the first area in the right atrium to be activated. Inversely, the impulse originating from the coronary sinus ostium wasconducted relatively fast to the postero-inferior region of the left atrium. These findings suggested that there might be a preferential conduction pathway along the coronary sinus vein or its neighbouring tissues.
