Wetting and functional voiding disorders.

Abstract

Wetting and voiding dysfunction in children represent a wide spectrum of disorders ranging from uncomplicated nocturnal enuresis, which is not associated with significant uropathology, to more complicated functional voiding dysfunction, which, in the worst of cases, can result in severe deterioration of both bladder and renal function. A complete understanding and thorough evaluation of these clinical entities allow a classification that lends itself to rational and tailored therapy. Optimal response rates can be achieved only with a disciplined and well-defined approach to the evaluation and management of these children.

Separation of tricyclic antidepressants by capillary zone electrophoresis with N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,3-butanediamine (TMBD) as an effective electrolyte additive.

Five tricyclic antidepressants (TADs), desipramyne, nortriptyline, imipramine, doxepin and amitriptyline, were separated by using the N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,3-butanediamine (TMBD) as additive in the background electrolyte solution. Because the tricyclic antidepressants are similar in structure, mass and pka values, their separation, by capillary zone electrophoresis, requires the careful manipulation of parameters, such as the pH and the composition of the electrolyte solution. As basic drugs, the TADs interact with the silanol groups on the capillary wall giving rise to peak broadening and asymmetry, non reproducible migration times and failing in selectivity. Different concentrations of TMBD (40, 60, 100 and 150 mM) were used at pH 9.5, but only a 100 mM TMBD allowed a good separation and a high efficiency for all the TADs. At this pH the separation was not possible without additive. This result is due to the reduced electroosmotic flow whose mobility is at a value of 10(-9) m(2) V(-1) s(-1).

Determination of mirtazapine and its demethyl metabolite in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. Application to management of acute intoxication.

Mirtazapine is a new centrally acting noradrenergic and specific serotonin antidepressant, with an active demethyl metabolite. For toxicological purposes, a specific and accurate RP-HPLC assay was developed for the simultaneous plasma determination of these compounds. A linear response was observed over the concentration range 50-500 ng/ml. A good accuracy (bias <10%) was achieved for all quality controls, with intra-day and inter-day variation coefficients less than 8.3%. The lower limit of quantification was 20 ng/ml, without interferences with endogenous or exogenous components. This rapid method (run time <12 min) was used to manage three intoxications involving mirtazapine.
