  • Anaphylactic Microshock of the Guinea-Pig by H
    Brit. J. Pharmacol. (1963), 21, 414-418. THE EFFECT OF SOME NEW ANTIHISTAMINES ON THE ANAPHYLACTIC MICROSHOCK OF THE GUINEA-PIG BY H. HERXHEIMER AND E. STRESEMANN From the Asthmapoliklinik, Free University, West Berlin, Germany (Received May 14, 1963) The dose/response curves for the protective effects of the new antihistamine compounds trimeprazine, 10-(3-diethylamino-2-methylpropyl)phenothiazine 1,1-dioxide hydrochloride (oxomemazine hydrochloride), cyproheptadine, homochlorcyclizine and methotrimeprazine against the anaphylactic microshock of the guinea-pig were similar to that of promethazine. The first three compounds, however, protected at lower doses than promethazine (5 to 10 ug/kg). The protective effect of cyproheptadine lasted longer than 24 hr. The antianaphylactic effects of promethazine, mepyramine, chlorcyclizine, tri- pelennamine and diphenhydramine have been investigated by Armitage, Herxheimer & Rosa (1952). In this paper we describe investigations of a few of the newer antihistamines. METHODS The microshock method (Herxheimer, 1952) was used and the protection against anaphylactic shock was calculated according to Armitage et al. (1952) with the formula p=100(1-c/t), in which p is the percentage of full protection, c the control preconvulsion time and t the preconvulsion time of the animal under the influence of the drug. The compounds investigated were trimeprazine, methotrimeprazine, cyproheptadine, homo- chlorcyclizine and 10(-3-diethylamino-2-methylpropyl)phenothiazine 1,1-dioxide hydrochloride (oxomemazine hydrochloride, 6847 R.P.). They were injected intramuscularly in aqueous solution; the exposure to the antigen (an aerosol of 5% albumen solution) was done 1 hr later. For cyproheptadine, the exposure was delayed by between 1 and 48 hr in order to investigate the duration of the effect.

Without his help, the completion of this thesis would be impossible. His friendship and advices are precious to my professional and personal growth and will help me overcome many difficulties in my future career. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Prof. David J.W. Grant, who was my advisor during the first three years in graduate school and led me into the research area of physical pharmacy. It was my great honor to have worked for him, and he will always live as a role model in my life. Many thanks to Dr. Zheng Jane Li at Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals (BI) for her invaluable advice as an industrial mentor and also for agreeing to serve on my committee. I sincerely appreciate her helpful discussions, revision of the manuscripts, and supervision of my research. I also want to thank her for providing me the internship opportunity at BI. I thank Dr. Timothy S. Wiedmann and Dr. Theodore P. Labuza for serving on my committee and for critically reviewing my thesis. I also want to thank Dr. Timothy S. Wiedmann for allowing me the use of the HPLC instruments in his lab and also for his advice as the Director of Graduate Studies.

  • Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia Caused by Calciumstearate, An
    □ CASE REPORT □ Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia Caused by Calcium Stearate, an Additive Agent for an Oral Antihistaminic Medication Jun Kurai, Hiroki Chikumi, Masahiro Kodani, Takanori Sako, Masanari Watanabe, Masanori Miyata, Haruhiko Makino, Hirokazu Touge, Yutaka Hitsuda and Eiji Shimizu Abstract A 70-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea after taking an antihistaminic agent (homochlorcyclizine hydrochloride) for itching. Chest roentgenogram showed infiltration in the left lung field, and laboratory data revealed eosinophilia. Examination of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid revealed an increased eosinophil count. A drug lymphocyte stimulation test was positive only for calcium stearate, an ad- ditive contained in the homochlorcyclizine hydrochloride tablet. The pulmonary infiltration and clinical symptoms subsided after withdrawal of all drugs and initiation of glucocorticoid therapy. Therefore, we con- cluded that this patient’s pulmonary disease was caused by calcium stearate, an additive for an antihistaminic drug. An allergic reaction to a drug’s additive material should be considered as a rare cause of drug-induced acute eosinophilic pneumonia. Key words: drug-induced eosinophilic pneumonia, drug lymphocyte stimulation test (DLST), antihistaminic agent, von Recklinghausen’s disease (DOI: 10.2169/internalmedicine.45.1674) stearate, was the cause of this patient’s AEP. Introduction Case Presentation Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP), which was origi- nally described by Allen et al (1), is an acute febrile illness A 70-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because characterized by severe hypoxemia, diffuse pulmonary infil- of fever and progressive shortness of breath on August 20, trates, and an increased number of eosinophils in the bron- 2002. He had asteatotic dermatitis for 2 years.

  • Management of Drug Overdose & Poisoning
    Management of Drug Overdose & Poisoning I Message Clinical toxicology has advanced considerably in the last 10 years since the publication of the first handbook on the management of poisoning by the Ministry of Health. The pattern of poisoning has also changed as people are now exposed to other new drugs and chemicals. New antidotes and therapies have been developed for the management of such poisoning, and are now available to health professionals. The publication of this new edition on the management of drug overdose and poisoning is most timely. The workgroup has put in great efforts to produce this comprehensive handbook, which will serve as a quick and easy reference for health professionals in the management of poisoning. I would like to congratulate the workgroup members and all contributors for their achievement. I trust that the handbook will meet the information requirements of our healthcare workers. Dr Chen Ai Ju Director of Medical Services Ministry of Health II Preface The first handbook on management of poisoning was published by the Ministry of Health ten years ago. The objective then was to provide a quick and reliable reference for the complex management of drug overdoses/ poisoning. Since then, great strides have been made in scientific technology, medicine, agriculture and pest control which have led to the development of many new products with associated toxic effects. Therefore, it has become necessary to revise and update the information pertaining to toxicology. This new edition of the handbook provides comprehensive advice for the management of drug overdose and poisoning. It is organised into 4 main sections, each identified by coloured tags in the right margins.
