Increased streptomycin levels in rat skeletal muscle tissue were observed after the administration of neostigmine methylsulfate alone and in combination with atropine. Acetylcholine and methacholine bromide were administered to determine if the increase in antibiotic concentration was due to vasodil

Abstract
Rats implanted with multiperforated subcutaneous plastic capsules were used as a model for study of the penetration of four cephalosporins into sites infected with Escherichia coli. The concentrations of the antibiotics were determined in uninfected and infected cages microbiologically up to 4 h after treatment. All four cephalosporins entered infected capsules faster than the control ones and the peak concentrations were attained 30β60 min earlier. The clearance of the antibiotics from infected capsules was faster than from uninfected ones, probably due to inactivation by microbial Ξ²βlactamase(s). Serum protein binding may account for differences in the penetration rate of cephalosporins, but serum level and serum halfβtime seem to contribute to their kinetic profile in tissue fluid.

Immunoperoxidase staining for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was performed on the tumors of 241 patients with invasive carcinoma of the cervix. Positive tissue staining indicative of a CEA concentration of at least 3 pg/gm was present in 154 tumors (63%) as opposed to 0 of 30 specimens of normal cer
## Abstract An automated method for the quantitative analysis of the polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was used to analyze CSF samples from 37 patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors and from 13p atients without tumors. The putrescine and spermidi
The tissue distribution of a butylated phenol antioxidant, LY231617, which has been shown to exert potent neuroprotection action was examined. Preliminary pharmacokinetic examination suggests that LY231617 was eliminated in a biphasic fashion after iv administration to the rat with a distribution ha
