Accumulation of Gentamvcin in Perilymph of Guinea Pigs / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

According to the pharmacokinetic theory, the authors studied the accumulation of gentamycin in perilymph of guinea pigs by searching the drug concentration at various time with Fluorescene Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA). The results indicated that (1) The drug concentration in perilymph increased with the augment of total doses administered and there was almost a linear correlation between them. (2) In animals of 7-day injectious group, the drug could be still detected during 72 hours after the last dose administration. The concentration was 1 37?0.95 ?g/ml which was close to the level of serum minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). It suggested that the elimination of the drug from inner ear was too slow and evident accumulation of gentamycin was indeed. (3) The fact mentioned above implied that the drug ototoxities could still damage the ear even if the drug administered had ceased before. It is the reason by which we could explain the problem encountered in clinic, that is why in some patients the ototoxic syndrom may still presented or enhanced even though the treatment has been stopped a few days before.
