Seventy-five patients with severe infection accompanying hematologic disorder, including leukemia and malignant lymphoma, were treated with cefotaxime (CTX). CTX was administered by intravenous drip infusion at a daily dose ranging from 4 to 16 g for terms of 3 to 21 days. The total doses were ranged from 12 to 226 g. The results obtained were as follows: Clinical effects: Excellent in 20 cases, good in 21 cases, fair in 7 cases and poor in 27 cases. The efficacy rate was 54.7% (41/75). Clinical effectiveness on isolated organisms (27 cases): In single infection (21 cases), the efficacy rates were 80% for Gram-positive cocci, including S. aureus and 63.6% for Gram-negative bacilli other than P. aeruginosa. In mixed infection (6 cases), the rate was 50.0%. There were no significant differences in the efficacy rates for those patients who were grouped by the initial number of neutrophil (less than 100, 101--500 and over 501/mm3). There were no significant difference in the efficacy rates for those patients who were grouped by the initial number of lymphocyte (less than 500 and over 501/mm3). Side effects and abnormal laboratory findings: One case of skin rash and 2 cases of elevated GOT and GPT were observed. CTX was therefore considered as a clinically useful antibiotic for the severe infections even in neutropenic state in patients suffering from malignant hematological diseases.

Laboratory and clinical studies were carried out with T-1982 (cefbuperazone) in pediatric infectious diseases. Results were as follows. 1. The average serum concentrations of T-1982 following intravenous injection of 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg were 35.3, 64.7 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes, 25.5, 41.5 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 12.4, 21.8 micrograms/ml at 2 hours, respectively. Dose-response was observed. Urinary recovery rates of T-1982 during 6 hours after injection of 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg were 57.3% and 73.6%, respectively. 2. The antibacterial activity of T-1982 against clinically isolated organisms was determined. T-1982 was more active than cefazolin and cefmetazole against K. pneumoniae, H. influenzae and E. coli. It was also effective against ampicillin-resistant E. coli. 3. Thirty-seven patients received daily 30-69 mg/kg of T-1982 t.i.d. for 5-9 days. The rate of satisfactory clinical response was 91.9%. 4. Side effects were diarrhea in 4 cases, diarrhea and rash in 1 case and slight elevation of GOT and GPT in 1 case. But these were transient and mild.

Laboratory and clinical studies of cefoperazone (CPZ), a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, were investigated and following results were obtained. (1) Blood level: CPZ was given intravenous dose of 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg to each 3 children. In the former, the blood level of 15 minutes after injection was 194.2 mcg/ml on average and the half life was 106.2 minutes. In the latter, the blood level was 320.0 mcg/ml on average and half life was 102.2 minutes. (2) Urinary concentration: In the cases of the dose of 25 mg/kg, 35.9% of CPZ was recovered on average from the urine within 6 hours after injection, and the urinary concentration reached to 2,148.6 mcg/ml (0 approximately 2 hours). And in the cases of the dose of 50 mcg/kg, the recovery rate in urine was 43.6%, and the urinary concentration was 3,008.3 mcg/ml. (3) Cerebrospinal fluid level: CSF level was determined in a patient with bacterial meningitis by S. pneumoniae. Ninety mg/kg of CPZ were given intravenous injection. After 60 minutes CSF level was 3.35 mcg/ml, and after 80 minutes the blood level was 192.0 mcg/ml. (4) Bacteriological evaluation: Against 164 strains isolated clinical specimens, the bacteriological evaluation on CPZ was performed in comparison with cefotaxime (CTX), cefazolin (CEZ) and piperacillin (PIPC) by inoculum size of 10(8) cells/ml. CPZ showed antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria almost similar to CTX and PIPC. (5) CLINICAL RESULTS: CPZ was given 48.3 approximately 360 mg/kg/day (average 146.1 mg/kg/day) by intravenous route to 46 patients with various infection. The overall efficacy rate was 80.4%. The rate of bacteriological effectiveness was 78.9% in 19 cases. (6) Side effects: As side effects, diarrhea, fever, rash, urticaria, leukopenia, eosinophilia, elevation of GOT, GPT, and LDH were observed, but not seriously.

Experimental and clinical studies in the pediatric field on 6059-S, a newly synthesized broad spectrum parenteral antibiotics, were carried out, and the following results were obtained. Antibacterial activities of 6059-S against S. pyogenes, S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa, recently isolated from patients, 50 strains respectively was compared with that of cefazolin (CEZ), cefmetazole (CMZ), ceftizoxime (CZX), cefotiam (CTM) and ticarcillin (TIPC). 6059-S was less active than the other compound against S. aureus and S. pyogenes, but was about 1-5 times more active than other CEZ, CTM, CMZ and CZX against E. coli, and 6059-S had a activity against P. aeruginosa. It was equal or slightly more activity than that of TIPC. Serum concentrations were measured in 14 infants (3 y 3m-12 y) by one shot or intravenous drip infusion with 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg. By one shot intravenous infusion, the peak of serum concentrations of 6059-S with 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg were 40.4-44.2 mcg/ml, 79.1-90.8 mcg/ml at 30 minutes after administration respectively, and that's half life were 1.5, 1.4 hours. By intravenous drip infusion, the peak of serum concentration was 89.9 mcg/ml at the end of administration, 13.7 mcg/ml at 5 hours after administration, and half life was 1.5 hours. The urinary recovery rate of 6059-S were 97.4, 67.4% during 6 hours in 2 cases. The cerebrospinal fluid concentration of 6059-S were 2.4-3.6 mcg/ml at 90 minutes after intravenous infusion administration, and the CSF/serum ratio were about 7-8%. Clinical studies of 6059-S was performed in total of 27 cases (25 patients); 8 cases of urinary tract infection, 15 cases of respiratory tract infection, 1 case of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, 1 case of peritonitis, 2 cases of purulent meningitis, with the dose of 6059-S 150 mg/kg/day in purulent meningitis, 40-80 mg/kg/day in other disease. That's efficacy rate was 85.2%. Side effect observed in this therapy were 2 cases (exanthema 1, diarrhea 1), and 2 cases of rise of GOT, GPT.

T-1982 (cefbuperazone), a new cephamycin antibiotic, was basically and clinically studied in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. The following results were obtained. The pelvic dead space exudate and serum levels of T-1982 were measured in patients with radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy for uterine cervical cancer after 1 hour drip infusion of 1 g. At the end of infusion, the serum level was 87.2 micrograms/ml on average and thereafter declined rapidly. The pelvic dead space exudate level attained the peak of 25.1 micrograms/ml at 2 hours and thereafter declined gradually but was 3.2 micrograms/ml even at 8 hours after infusion. A total of 10 cases comprising 1 with intrauterine infection, 2 with pelveoperitonitis, 2 with adnexitis and 5 with external genital organ infection were intravenously treated with T-1982 at a dose of 1 g twice daily for 5-7 days. The clinical results were excellent in 1 case, good in 8 cases and poor in 1 case. Eruption and elevated GOT and GPT were noted in 1 case.

From clinical study on micronomicin (MCR) [Sagamicin, KW-1062], the following results were obtained. MCR was administered clinically at the daily dose of 120--240 mg for 1--45 days to 23 patients. The clinical effectiveness rate of MCR was 72.7% in all cases. As side effects, exanthema, drop of blood pressure and shortness of breath were observed in 1 patient (malignant lymphoma). Elevations of S-GOT, S-GPT and BUN were encountered in some patients. However, these results might not be due to the administration of MCR, because antitumor agents on the blood transfusion had been applied to the patients suffering from underlying diseases such as leukemia or malignant tumor. Side effects, such as impairment of the 8th nerve, renal and liver function were not noted. MCR is considered to be a useful antibiotic in the treatment of various infectious diseases combined with underlying diseases, such as progressive cancer and leukemia, and the infectious diseases of the aged.

Fourteen patients with advanced malignant melanoma were treated with a combination chemotherapy consisting of ACNU 100 mg/m2 i.v. on Day 1 in 6 week intervals and DTIC 200 mg/m2 i.v. on Days 1 to 5 at 3 week intervals. Four patients had prior chemotherapy and 2 had prior immunotherapy. Excluding 4 patients received the regimen for adjuvant chemotherapy, 10 of 14 patients were evaluable for response. There were 3 patients of partial responses, 3 minor responses, 1 no change, and 3 progressive diseases. The durations of partial responses were 1, 1, and 8 months, respectively, while the survival times in these patients were 5, 21, and 10 months, respectively. Leukopenia less than 4,000/cmm occurred in 10 of 14 patients (71%) and thrombocytopenia less than 100 X 10(3)/cmm in 9 of 14 patients (64%), moreover, these hematologic toxicities were cumulative. Serum GOT and GPT elevated to 3,460 mu/ml and 1,365 mu/ml, respectively in one patient, but this returned to a normal level one month later. Nausea and vomiting were mild to severe in 12 of 14 patients, being most marked on Day 1 and decreasing intensity during the next several days. Other non-hematologic toxicities including skin rash, fever, and phlebitis were noted in each one patient, respectively. Hematologic toxicity of this regimen was a dose limiting toxicity; therefore, intensive supportive therapy to prevent infection and hemorrhage is essential for the management of the patients during this chemotherapy.

1. Medium to large amount of CMZ (100-270 mg/kg/day) was administered to 4 cases of neonatal infants having severe infections due to pathogenic E. coli and sepsis due to E. coli CMZ was remarkably effective in all cases, and the causative bacteria disappeared in 100%. 2. Among 10 cases which administered CMZ, 5 cases showed side effect. Eruption, diarrhea and increase of GOT, GPT and LDH activities were observed but no case suggested interruption of administration. 3. Blood level of CMZ was determined in 4 cases of 0-1 day old, premature infants. The half life of CMZ was 8.55-15.3 hours, prolonged considerably, and 12 hours after one shot (20 mg/kg) of intravenous CMZ administration, 20.2 microgram/ml of blood level was maintained. 4. Intraspinal CMZ level was determined in aseptic meningitis. When one shot 50 mg/kg CMZ was given intravenously, intraspinal CMZ levels after 30 minutes and 1 hour were 20.3 microgram/ml and 34.5 microgram/ml, respectively, and distribution of CMZ in the cerebrospinal fluid was shown to be excellent. 5. Exchange blood infusion (amount of exchange, 170 ml/Kg) was performed in a small premature newborn baby, and blood transformation of CMZ was examined. It was found as the result that the blood level of CMZ was decreased to 53% of the pretreated level. 6. MIC of CMZ was examined in 3 strains of E. coli isolated from blood and cerebrospinal fluid. MICs were 0.39-0.78 microgram/ml when 10(6)/ml was inoculated and 0.78-1.56 when 10(8)/ml was inoculated.

The effects of a new drug, N-2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-isobutyryl-N'-morpholinomethylurea (plafibride, ITA 104), were studied in a double blind study lasting four months on a group of 30 patients with a type IV hyperlipoproteinemia. In the patients treated with the active drug significant reductions in blood triglycerides were obtained, with a trend to normal. Reduction in blood cholesterol was inconsistent and not significant. As for the lipoproteinogram, a tendency towards a decrease in the pre-beta-lipoprotein fraction was observed and so was a non-significant tendency towards an increase in the alpha- and beta-lipoprotein fractions. Studies on the platelet functioning showed an obvious decrease in platelet aggregation in those patients treated with the active drug. This was very evident for the ADP and adrenaline inductors and rather less significant for collagen. Neither platelet adhesiveness nor aggregation rate changed. Tolerance of the drug was generally excellent. In one patient a decrease in some palpebral xanthelasmas was observed after two months of treatment with the active drug. In only one case there was heartburn and this was corrected with alkalines. In one other case an urticarial rash appeared, but disappeared spontaneously when the drug was temporarily stopped and did not reappear when it was administered again. During the trial no evidence of renal, hepatic or hematological malfunctions were observed. However, a slight tendency towards an increase in the GOT, GPT and LDH was observed, which was not statistically significant. The drug tested may be very useful in the treatment of type IV hyperlipoproteinemia, especially in those forms in which an increase in thromboembolic risk is suspected, either associated with, or secondary to, the actual atherosclerotic disease.
