[Prophylactic effect of ulinastatin on cisplatin-induced renal disorders in lung cancer patients].

In order to determine whether ulinastatin (US) can prevent renal dysfunction due to cisplatin (CDDP) or not, we comparatively studied serum BUN, serum creatinine (Cr), creatinine clearance (Ccr), urine gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GTP) excretion, urine N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) excretion, fractional excretion of Na (FENa) and urine beta 2-microglobulin excretion between one group of 10 patients receiving single treatment with CDDP and another group of 10 patients receiving combination treatment with CDDP+US, in 20 subjects with primary lung cancer. In the US combination treatment group, urine gamma-GTP excretion, urine NAG excretion, and FENa elevation were significantly inhibited. Urine beta 2-microglobulin excretion was inhibited. In summary, US was considered to have a preventive effect against renal toxicity due to CDDP.

[Allergic individuals to Japanese cedar or orchard grass consist of two subgroups based on the sensitization to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus].

One hundred and twenty-six allergic subjects were divided into three groups based on the RAST results for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (D.p) and Japanese cedar (J.C.). We compared sex, age of examination for RAST, serum IgE, family history of allergic diseases, prevalence rate of bronchial asthma (BA) and allergic rhinitis (AR), and onset of AR among three groups. No significant difference in the other variables except serum IgE and prevalence rate of BA was found between the group with D.p-positive and J.C.-positive RAST and the group with D.p-positive and J.C.-negative RAST. The group with positive RAST for D.p and J.C. showed lower age of the examination, higher serum IgE, higher incidence of allergic family history, higher prevalence rate of BA, and lower onset age of AR than the group with negative RAST for D.p and positive RAST for J.C. We suggested that in J.C. RAST-positive group there might be two different subgroups distinguished by RAST result for D.p Similar results were obtained from the assessment of RAST for Orchard grass instead of J.C.

[Development and usefulness of dynamic respiratory scanning by fast CT].

Dynamic Respiratory Scanning (DRS) was developed in order to get a series of respiring chest image during the period from maximum inspiration to maximum expiration by using fast CT. The image of different respiratory phase was selected and displayed successively under the control of a track ball. We could recognize the relation of the visceral and parietal pleura as the relative position of the ribs and peripheral pulmonary vessels. The DRS was useful for the diagnosis of pleural adhesion.

[Evaluation of T-2588 in the treatment of respiratory tract infection].

T-2588 was used on 55 patients with respiratory tract infections and 44 cases were evaluated; 23 patients with pneumonia, 12 patients with acute bronchitis, 2 patients with chronic bronchitis, 1 patient with diffuse panbronchiolitis and 6 patients with bronchiectasis with infection. Clinical effects of T-2588 were as follows; excellent in 6 and good in 28 patients. The efficacy rate was 77.3% (34/44). Bacteriological effects of T-2588 were prominent in 8 patients infected with B. catarrhalis, H. influenzae, K. pneumoniae and E. coli, but not in a patient infected with P. putida. The elimination rate was 90.0% (9/10 strains). As side effects, stomatitis, anorexia, diarrhea X vomiting and pruritus were observed in one patient each. Abnormal laboratory findings were observed in 4 patients with elevated GOT and/or GPT. These side effects and abnormal laboratory findings were not serious. The usefulness of T-2588 was 68.2% (30/44). Therefore, T-2588 is a useful drug and its effects are promising in clinical management of respiratory tract infections.

[Clinical study of aztreonam on respiratory tract infections caused by gram-negative pathogens].

Aztreonam (E-0734, AZT) was administered to pneumonia and chronic respiratory tract infections. The results were as follows: AZT was administered to 29 patients. Twenty-six cases were evaluable and 3 cases were excluded from evaluation of efficacy because 1 was Gram-positive infection, 2 were unclear symptom of infection. Pneumonia was 4 cases. Chronic respiratory tract infections were 22 cases. Clinical efficacy was judged as follows; excellent in 7 cases, good in 10 cases, fair in 5 cases and poor in 4 cases, then the efficacy rate was 65.4%. Efficacy rate in pneumonia, acute aggravation of diffuse panbronchiolitis and bronchiectasis with infection was 50%, 67% and 83%, respectively. Bacteriological response was judged on 21 cases with eradication rate was 66.7%. Bacteriological response classified by pathogen was as follows: All 6 isolates of H. influenzae, 2 in 6 isolates of P. aeruginosa, 4 in 5 isolates of H. parainfluenzae and all 3 isolates of K. pneumoniae were cleared. Total eradicated rate was 74.1%. Eruption was observed in 1 case as side effect. Abnormal laboratory findings were observed in 4 cases. Elevation of GOT and GPT was in 3 cases. Increase of eosinophil and basophil was in 1 case. AZT was considered to be a useful antibiotic for the treatment of respiratory tract infections, especially chronic respiratory tract infections, caused by Gram-negative pathogens.
