Auscultatory nonmercury manual devices seem good alternatives for the mercury sphygmomanometers in the clinic and for research settings, but individual internal validation of each device is time-consuming. The aim of this study was to validate a new technique capable of testing two devices simultaneously, based on the International protocol of the European Society of Hypertension.

KBPA-101 is a human monoclonal antibody of the immunoglobulin M isotype, which is directed against the O-polysaccharide moiety of Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O11. This double-blind, dose escalation study evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of KBPA-101 in 32 healthy volunteers aged 19 to 46 years. Each subject received a single intravenous infusion of KBPA-101 at a dose of 0.1, 0.4, 1.2, or 4 mg/kg of body weight or placebo infused over 2 h. Plasma samples for pharmacokinetic assessments were taken before infusion as well as 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h and 4, 7, 10, and 14 days after start of dosing. Plasma concentrations of KBPA-101 were detected with mean maximum concentrations of drug in plasma of 1,877, 7,571, 24,923, and 83,197 ng/ml following doses of 0.1, 0.4, 1.2, and 4.0 mg/kg body weight, respectively. The mean elimination half-life was between 70 and 95 h. The mean volume of distribution was between 4.76 and 5.47 liters. Clearance ranged between 0.039 and 0.120 liters/h. At the highest dose of 4.0 mg/kg, plasma KBPA-101 levels were greater than 5,000 ng/ml for 14 days. KBPA-101 exhibited linear kinetics across all doses. No anti-KBPA-101 antibodies were detected after dosing in any subject. Overall, the human monoclonal antibody KBPA-101 was well tolerated over the entire dose range in healthy volunteers, and no serious adverse events have been reported.
Identification of adsorbed molecules via STM tip manipulation: CO, H₂O, and O₂ on TiO₂ anatase (101)
Resumo:
While Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) has evolved as an ideal tool to study surface chemistry at the atomic scale, the identification of adsorbed species is often not straightforward. This paper describes a way to reliably identify H2O, CO and O2 on the TiO2 anatase (101) surface with STM. These molecules are of a key importance in the surface chemistry of this and many other (photo-) catalytic materials. They exhibit a wide variety of contrasts in STM images, depending on the tip condition. With clean, metallic tips the molecules appear very similar, i.e., as bright, dimer-like features located in the proximity of surface Ti5c atoms. However, each species exhibits a specific response to the electric field applied by the STM tip. It is shown that this tip–adsorbate interaction can be used to reliably ascertain the identity of such species. The tip–adsorbate interactions, together with comparison of experimental and calculated STM images, are used to analyse and revisit the assignments of molecular adsorbed species reported in recent studies.
