Asthma-like attacks resulting from the isolated congenital left pulmonary artery agenesis with right main bronchus stenosis.
A 5-year-old girl with isolated congenital left pulmonary artery agenesis suffered from recurrent attacks of dyspnea and right-sided pneumonia due to the stenosis of the right main bronchus. The division of ligamentum of the ductus arteriosus and suspension of the right pulmonary artery resulted in the disappearance of symptoms. It is notable that the compression of contralateral bronchus by the remaining pulmonary artery can cause respiratory symptoms in patients with isolated unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis.

Influence of oral adsorbent AST-120 on anticonvulsive effect of zonisamide in rats.
The influence of oral adsorbent AST-120 (Kremezin) on the anticonvulsive effect and pharmacokinetics of zonisamide was investigated. Oral administration of zonisamide (50 mg/kg) blocked the appearance of the tonic extension induced by maximal electroshock seizure. This effect of zonisamide was inhibited by the oral coadministration of AST-120 (5 g/kg). In pharmacokinetics study, the serum zonisamide concentration after coadministration of zonisamide and AST-120 was significantly lower than that of single administration of zonisamide. However, the anticonvulsive effect of zonisamide was not affected by the administration of AST-120 1.5 h after zonisamide administration. In this condition, the serum zonisamide concentration was not changed. In the in vitro study, AST-120 completely adsorbed zonisamide. These findings suggest that when AST-120 is administered concurrently with zonisamide, a significant inhibition of the anticonvulsive effect of zonisamide occurs, and the decrease in serum zonisamide concentration by the adsorption effect of AST-120 is related to this phenomenon.
