    Abstract The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kobe Gakuin University has collaborated in clinical research with Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital. In this university-medical institution collaboration, university faculty members discuss clinical problems with on-site pharmacists and doctors, and carry out clinical research to resolve these problems. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many patients with COVID-19 were treated at Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital. In February 2020, during the first increase in the number of patients with COVID-19 in Japan, treatment for COVID-19 was not established, and some existing anti-viral drugs, such as favipiravir, were experimentally used for COVID-19 treatment. However, since these drugs were not developed specifically for treating COVID-19, their pharmacokinetics have not been sufficiently studied. In particular, the pharmacokinetics of favipiravir in critically ill patients with COVID-19 was of concern, because critically ill patients have an urgent need for life-saving anti-viral drug treatment. Therefore, we conducted a collaborative clinical study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of favipiravir in patients with COVID-19. The blood concentration of favipiravir in patients with COVID-19 at Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital was measured by lipid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry at Kobe Gakuin University. Population pharmacokinetics analysis was then performed. In this symposium review, we introduce our pharmacokinetic study of antiviral drugs in patients with COVID-19, focusing on the university-medical institution collaboration. We believe collaborative clinical research will be useful for solving clinical issues and ensuring the effectiveness and safety of pharmacotherapies.

    Abstract Ceftriaxone is commonly used to treat bacterial infections. Encephalopathy is a rare adverse effect of ceftriaxone therapy, and most cases have been diagnosed based on medical history. We report a case of a 73-year-old woman with ceftriaxone-associated encephalopathy, which was confirmed by measuring the ceftriaxone levels in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. She regularly underwent hemodialysis. She received intravenous ceftriaxone at a dose of 1 g/day for 4 days for enteritis, and mental status began to be disturbed during the therapy. Six days after ceftriaxone discontinuation, her consciousness level rapidly improved. Thus, ceftriaxone-associated encephalopathy was suspected. High ceftriaxone levels in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid were observed while the patient had disturbed consciousness. This case indicated that high ceftriaxone levels in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid were related to development of encephalopathy. The estimation of ceftriaxone levels may be useful for an accurate diagnosis.

    Abstract Neurotoxicity is a rare and intolerable adverse effect of ceftriaxone therapy. In most cases, it has been diagnosed on the basis of medical history rather than quantitative blood and cerebrospinal fluid testing. We report the case of a woman aged 78 years with ceftriaxone-associated encephalopathy. She regularly underwent hemodialysis. The patient received intravenous ceftriaxone at a dose of 1 g/day for 10 days for a urinary tract infection, and her consciousness level began to deteriorate during the therapy. Five days after ceftriaxone discontinuation, her symptoms rapidly improved. Thus, ceftriaxone-associated encephalopathy was suspected. Ceftriaxone levels in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid were high while the patient had disturbed consciousness. This case showed that ceftriaxone levels were related to ceftriaxone-associated encephalopathy. Therefore, the estimation of ceftriaxone levels may facilitate an accurate diagnosis.

    Abstract Rationale: Foscarnet (FCV) is used to treat cytomegalovirus, human herpesvirus, and human immunodeficiency virus infections. It is a low-molecular-weight compound containing carboxylate and phosphate groups. There are no reports on the use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) to analyze FCV via bioanalysis. In the present study, we developed the ion-pair LC/MS/MS method to analyze FCV in human serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
    Methods: FCV was extracted from human serum and CSF by weak anion exchange (WAX) solid-phase extraction. The LC/MS/MS systems were coated with 0.1% phosphoric acid in methanol to avoid nonspecific absorption. FCV was detected using ion-pair LC/MS/MS with dibutylammonium acetate. Selected reaction monitoring transition of FCV in the negative ion mode was selected at m/z 125.1 → 62.9.
    Results: FCV was selectively detected in human serum and CSF, and the liner range was 5-1000 μM (R
    Conclusions: A robust LC/MS/MS method to analyze FCV was successfully developed. FCV was selectively measured using LC/MS/MS in very low extract volumes (20 μL). The method will be useful in evaluating the FCV level in human serum and CSF.

    Abstract We are developing an automatic fingertip-blood-sampling system to reduce the burden on trained medical personnel. For this system to withdraw a consistent volume of sampled blood for blood tests, we developed a mechanism for our system to select and puncture the vicinity of a large blood vessel from the blood-vessel image of an individual's fingertip. We call this mechanism the fingertip-vessel-puncture mechanism. From the results of an experiment in which the fingertips of 20 individuals (men and women in their 20 s to 60 s) were manually punctured at near and far locations from the blood vessel selected with our mechanism, the following conclusions were obtained. The fingertip-vessel-puncture mechanism tends to increase the volume of sampled blood, thus is effective in sampling more than 650 µL of blood for automatic blood analyzers. It was also found that it is more effective in increasing the volume of sampled blood in the men and those who were younger.

    Abstract Prcis: Large amount of trabeculotomy with Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) confers better intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering.
    Purpose: We compared the postoperative outcomes of trabeculotomy using the KDB in patients with exfoliation glaucoma (EXG) and primary open angle glaucoma between the 120-degree incision and the 210- to 240-degree incision groups.
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed the postoperative outcomes of trabeculotomy performed using the KDB in 101 eyes with EXG and primary open angle glaucoma, who received 120- and 210- to 240-degree incisions at Kumamoto University Hospital between April 25, 2018, and August 11, 2021. Kaplan-Meyer survival curves were used to assess the outcomes. Surgical failure was defined as IOP ≥21 mm Hg (criterion A) and ≥19 mm Hg (criterion B), or an IOP ≤4 mm Hg in either criterion and the need for additional glaucoma surgery.
    Results: In total, 64 and 37 eyes were included in the 120 and 210- to 240-degree groups, respectively. The 210- to 240-degree group had a higher 1-year success rate compared with the 120-degree group, both when considering all eyes and when considering only those with EXG (P<0.05).
    Conclusions: In trabeculotomy with KDB, a 210- to 240-degree incision was more effective than a 120-degree incision in lowering IOP in EXG cases.
