Drobits B, Grundner R, Holcmann M, Sibilia M Department of Dermatology DIAID, Medical University of Vienna, Austria The immune response modifier Imiquimod, a synthetic ligand for TLR 7 8, has been shown to exert antiviral and anti-tumor activities in both mice and humans. Treatment of intradermally induced melanomas leads to reduction and stasis of tumor growth, accompanied by increased tumor infiltration of plasmacytoid dendritic cells pDCs ; , a DC subpopulation expressing TLR 7. So far, the mechanism how Imiquimod mediates the anti-tumor activity is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated whether skin cells play an active role in anti-tumor immune responses mediated by Imiquimod. For this purpose we have analysed TLR expression in dermal as well as epidermal cell populations and examined whether their expression level was modulated by Imiquimod treatment. TLR 3, 4 and 5 were expressed in all cell types analyzed, whereas TLR 9 was not detectable in keratinocytes. Surprisingly, TLR 7 expression could not be detected in any dermal and epidermal cell population neither before nor after Imiquimod treatment. Treatment of primary keratinocytes isolated from wild-type and TLR 7 knock-out mice with Imiquimod can lead to the activation of the NF B as well as the MAPK-pathway suggesting that Imiquimod can signal via another, yet unknown, receptor. To investigate which main leukocyte population is responsible for mediating tumor regression after Imiquimod treatment, we have depleted various immune cells such as pDC, CD4 + -, CD8 + - and NK-cells in melanoma bearing mice. Preliminary results show that the anti-tumor effect mediated by Imiquimod is not impaired in the absence of T-cells although complete tumor regression was never observed. In summary our results show that Imiquimod-induced tumor clearance can occur in the absence of T-cells. Moreover, it seems that Imiquimod might primarily activate keratinocytes which in turn leads to immune cell recruitment to the tumor site. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the observed phenotypes are currently being investigated. Financing & Acknowledgements: Supported by the FWF Programm: Dermatology Notes.
Manicheism was not the only secret association that sprang from the initiations of the Magi. In the seventh century of our era we meet with similar societies, possessing an influence not limited to the regions in which they arose, variations of one single thought, which aimed at combining the venerable doctrines of Zoroaster with Christian belief. Of these societies or sects the following may be mentioned : the followers of Keyoumerz; the worshippers of Servan, certain Zoroastrians, so-called " Dualists " ; Gnostics and, lastly, the followers of Mastek, the most formidable and disastrous of all, preaching universal equality and liberty, the irresponsibility of man, and the community of property and women. The Arabs having rendered themselves masters of Persia in the seventh century, the sects of that country set to work to spread their tenets among Islam in order to undermine it. This is corroborated by Heckethorn who writes : " The Persian sects examined the Koran, pointed out its contradictions, and denied its divine origin. And so. Kelley, D. S., Taylor, P. C., Nelson, G.

At the world level, the new antiepileptic Keprpa is at present available in 24 countries and has been approved in 10 others, awaiting price approval by the health authorities in the respective countries. Its usage has passed an important threshold, the 200, 000 patient- years, which is equal to the cumulated treatment of 200, 000 patients during a full year. Keppraa has systematically achieved a quicker penetration than that of its rivals in the market for new antiepileptics. It already occupies the third place in the specific field of the treatment of epilepsy among these new products and has achieved there substantial market shares: 22% in the USA, 19% in Germany, 14% in Italy and 12% in Great Britain. The results of an important Phase IV clinical study, conducted in the USA under conditions of daily use, have confirmed the capacity of Keppra significantly to reduce the frequency of epileptic seizures, together with its safety in use and easy utilisation. This is as important for the doctor as for the patient and also results in a very low risk of interaction with other medicines. World sales of Keppra increased by 89%; they rose from 122 million in 2001 to 231 million in 2002, of which 164 million were in the United States. The sales of Nootropil piracetam ; , in very slight decline, reached 129 million. A significant increase of 8% was seen in Asia. Atarax hydroxyzine ; a non-benzodiazepinic tranquillizer, a product of UCB for many years, saw its sales reach the amount of 41 million and elavil.

DAV DP: The patient, a child, took Keppra 500 mg tablets daily to prevent seizures. After the patient's mother had the Keppra prescription refilled, the patient began having seizures. After checking with the pharmacy it was discovered that the refill prescription was filled with Leucovorin rather than the prescribed Keppra. DAV acknowledged that he filled the prescription; however, he is unsure how the error occurred. DAV and DP were both fined 0.

Alcohol use disorders in elderly people are a common but underrecognised problem. They are frequently associated with particular precipitants such as loss, social isolation and medical and psychiatric comorbidity. There is some evidence to suggest that elderly people benefit as much from treatment as do younger patients. However, owing to the difficulty of identifying and treating alcohol use disorders in elderly people, services need to develop an outreach approach. This should include the provision of wellplaced information explaining the problem and the type of help available Goodman & Ward, 1995 ; . Training and awareness among health practitioners is important to change attitudes and identify alcohol misuse in elderly people. Good liaison between services is essential for promoting continuity of care Derry, 2000 ; . This is particularly important in the case of specialist substance misuse and psycho geriatric services. In view of the complexity of the health and social issues involved, integrated care pathways, joint assessments and case management are important for effective service provision. Close partnership with the voluntary sector is also an important factor in effective treatment. At a policy level, it is important that the needs of elderly people are highlighted in national service frameworks and strategies. This does not appear to have been done so far, which might be because of wider issues of ageism and the reluctance of some specialist alcohol services to open their doors to elderly people. Most of the evidence showing the effectiveness of treating alcohol use disorders in elderly people originates in the USA. Furthermore, much of this research is limited to White men in US veteran hospitals. Few empirical studies have compared treatment modalities and no studies have compared treatment with no treatment. Very few studies have addressed the safety and efficacy of pharmacotherapy to aid abstinence in elderly people. There is therefore an urgent need for further research, particularly in the UK. This would help treatment services to determine the exact extent of the problem and to develop and test time and. Initial clinical data concerning epilepsy were derived from three studies that investigated the efficacy of levetiracetam in suppressing the photoparoxysmal response on the EEG induced by photic stimulation in a total of 12 patients with photosensitive epilepsy. This human epilepsy model is regarded as predictive of generalised epilepsy. A long-lasting reduction in the photoparoxysmal response was observed in some patients after oral single doses of 250 to 500 mg. At doses of 1000 mg the photoparoxysmal response was either significantly reduced or abolished in all patients. There was also a marked reduction in the frequency of myoclonic jerks in those patients n 2 ; who presented them at baseline. Pharmacokinetics Levetiracetam is a highly soluble compound solubility in water at room temperature is 1.04 g ml ; . Levetiracetam is rapidly absorbed after oral doses ranging from 250 to 5000 mg. Peak plasma concentrations Cmax ; are reached overall at 1.3 0.7 hours after dosing. Cmax is typically 31 and 43 g ml following a single 1000 mg dose and repeated 1000 mg bid dose, respectively. Absolute oral bioavailability is close to 100%. The extent of absorption was dose-independent D002, N201 ; . When taken with food, the extent of absorption of levetiracetam was not affected N203, N206 ; , although the rate of absorption was slowed. Steady-state is achieved after two days of b.i.d. treatment. No tissue distribution data are available in humans. Data available in animals have shown a rapid tissue distribution with concentrations close to those in blood, except in lens and adipose tissue lower ; and kidneys higher ; . In man, neither levetiracetam nor its major metabolite are bound significantly to plasma proteins N046, RRLE98K1501 ; , and the volume of distribution is approximately 0.5 to 0.7 l kg, a value close to the volume of distribution of intra-cellular and extracellular fluid. Two major components, levetiracetam 66 % of the radioactive dose ; and an acidic metabolite ucb L057 24 % of the dose ; were identified in the urine N046 ; . In addition, two minor metabolites 1.6% and 0.9% of the dose ; and other unknown components 0.6% of the dose ; were found. These metabolic pathways were also identified in animal species. No enantiomeric interconversion was evidenced for either levetiracetam or its major metabolite ucb L057. The plasma half-life in adults is 7 1 hours and does not vary with either the dose, route of administration or repeated administration. The mean apparent total body clearance is 0.96 0.14 ml min kg. Pharmacokinetics are comparable in subjects of 18-39 and 40-60 years, and in Caucasians and Asians. There is no evidence of circadian variability N128, N150 ; . The major route of excretion is via urine, accounting for on average 95% of the dose N046 ; . The renal clearance of levetiracetam is approximately 0.6 ml min kg indicating excretion by glomerular filtration and partial subsequent tubular reabsorption. The renal clearance of the metabolite ucb L057 is approximately 4.2 ml min kg N150 ; indicating active tubular secretion, in addition to glomerular filtration. The pharmacokinetic profile of levetiracetam administered following intravenous infusion, oral tablets, oral capsules and oral solution was established in the evaluation of the original Keppra filmcoated tablets. The oral solution is bioequivalent to the other oral formulations, which have been extensively used in clinical trials 250 mg capsules and 500 mg tablets ; and tablet formulations used in clinical trials are representative of the marketed tablet formulations. Pharmacokinetics in special populations Adult Patients Pharmacokinetic data following repeated administration are available from 84 adult patients with epilepsy receiving 250 to 1500 mg bid doses N015, N017, N018, N047, N053 123 and N143 ; . Values for Cmax, tmax, AUC, half-life and clearance are comparable to those reported in healthy volunteers. Children with Epilepsy Pharmacokinetic data are available for single oral dose administration N151 ; in 24 patients 6-12 years. Values for Cmax and AUC adjusted to body weight one mg kg dose ; are approximately 3040% lower than in adults. The half-life is 6.0 1.1 hours and is gender independent. The apparent body clearance is 1.43 0.6 ml min kg n 24 and fluoxetine.

The intravenous administration of doses up to 4000 mg diluted in 100 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride infused over 15 minutes and doses up to 2500 mg diluted in 100 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride infused over 5 minutes was evaluated. The pharmacokinetic and safety profiles did not identify any safety concerns. Levetiracetam is a highly soluble and permeable compound. The pharmacokinetic profile is linear with low intra- and inter-subject variability. There is no modification of the clearance after repeated administration. The time independent pharmacokinetic profile of levetiracetam was also confirmed following 1500 mg intravenous infusion for 4 days with b.i.d dosing. There is no evidence for any relevant gender, race or circadian variability. The pharmacokinetic profile is comparable in healthy volunteers and in patients with epilepsy. Adults and adolescents Distribution Peak plasma concentration Cmax ; observed in 17 subjects following a single intravenous dose of 1500 mg infused over 15 minutes was 51 19 g ml arithmetic average standard deviation ; . No tissue distribution data are available in humans. Neither levetiracetam nor its primary metabolite are significantly bound to plasma proteins 10 % ; . The volume of distribution of levetiracetam is approximately 0.5 to 0.7 l kg, a value close to the total body water volume. Biotransformation Levetiracetam is not extensively metabolised in humans. The major metabolic pathway 24 % of the dose ; is an enzymatic hydrolysis of the acetamide group. Production of the primary metabolite, ucb L057, is not supported by liver cytochrome P450 isoforms. Hydrolysis of the acetamide group was measurable in a large number of tissues including blood cells. The metabolite ucb L057 is pharmacologically inactive. Two minor metabolites were also identified. One was obtained by hydroxylation of the pyrrolidone ring 1.6 % of the dose ; and the other one by opening of the pyrrolidone ring 0.9 % of the dose ; . Other unidentified components accounted only for 0.6 % of the dose. No enantiomeric interconversion was evidenced in vivo for either levetiracetam or its primary metabolite. In vitro, levetiracetam and its primary metabolite have been shown not to inhibit the major human liver cytochrome P450 isoforms CYP3A4, 2A6, 2C9, 2C19, and 1A2 ; , glucuronyl transferase UGT1A1 and UGT1A6 ; and epoxide hydroxylase activities. In addition, levetiracetam does not affect the in vitro glucuronidation of valproic acid. In human hepatocytes in culture, levetiracetam had little or no effect on CYP1A2, SULT1E1 or UGT1A1. Levetiracetam caused mild induction of CYP2B6 and CYP3A4. The in vitro data and in vivo interaction data on oral contraceptives, digoxin and warfarin indicate that no significant enzyme induction is expected in vivo. Therefore, the interaction of Keppra with other substances, or vice versa, is unlikely. Elimination The plasma half-life in adults was 71 hours and did not vary either with dose, route of administration or repeated administration. The mean total body clearance was 0.96 ml min kg.

The globalization policy continued: the share of sales made outside Europe, constantly increasing, reached 56% of total turnover, compared with 54% in 2001. The ordinary profits of the Group before tax amounted in 2002 to 494 million, compared with 462 million the previous year, an increase of 7%. After taking account of the exceptional results and of taxation, the total profits of the Group amounted to 332 million, compared with 318 million in 2001, a growth of 4%. Numbers employed by the Group throughout the world were 10, 326, compared to 10, 013 the previous year, 313 people more. This growth reflected an increase in numbers employed within the pharmaceutical activities across the sites at Braine and Atlanta. However these figures do not include the 1, 700 people, who have been integrated into the Group in February, 2003, following the acquisition of the Resins, Adhesives and Additives activities from Solutia. The cost of wages, salaries and social charges followed the movement in numbers employed. They reached 604 million, compared with 585 million the previous year, equivalent to 24% of the turnover of the Group. Complementary information on these matters is shown in the Human Resources section of this report. UCB devoted more than 35 million in 2002 to the protection of the environment. The effects are explained in the section devoted to the environment. Expenditure on Research and Development by the Group amounted to 262 million, compared with 218 million in 2001, an increase of 20%. The main trends in R&D are explained in the pages on each Sector. Investments fell from 194 to 164 million of which 100 were for the Pharma Sector, 39 for the Chemical activities and 19 for the Film activities ; . The most significant investments were: in the Pharma Sector, new installations for the manufacture of Keppra and for the Bioproducts activities, together with the commissioning of high technology equipment for R&D; in Chemicals, the purchase of the polyurethane activities of Beom Woo in Korea and the completion of the monomers factory in Shanghai; in Films, the improvement in the production process of BOPP Bioriented Polypropylene ; . On the financial structure, the surplus on cash flow amounted to 507 million and the shareholders funds, after distribution, were of the order of 1, 565 million. The Group had a net increase in its net treasury and this despite a significant programme of investments made, mainly in the United States and on various European sites. The cash available at the end of 2002 will be partially affected by the acquisition of the Resins, Adhesives and Additives activities from Solutia, but it should rapidly be rebuilt, leaving ample possibilities for new acquisitions within the Group.

Gration. Two men, Michael Utterback and Jan Willem VanderHoeven, were leading it then and I had not heard about Blossoming Rose. At that time my husband and son were suffering from some physical setbacks, but God healed our family and we received it as a blessing from God as promised to those who love Israel. It was in this flurry of activities that I first heard about Blossoming Rose and I went to the Ukraine with the organization one year later. I have been back to the Ukraine now eleven times and also on to Israel. My first year, as the leader of a ministry team, we met a Ukrainian family, Tanya, Sashay, and their sons Akim and Misha. They were Jewish and they wished to immigrate to Israel. They were the first family we assisted who made alijah and moved to Israel. Blossoming Rose helped fund the return of many Jewish families from Ethiopia and India by sending funds to Jewish organizations that sponsored programs that had those goals. But this was our first specific family with whom we were personally involved. It was a delight to visit with them after they had moved to Israel. This process of "alijah" is very comContinued on Page 7.
Keppra is also used to treat myoclonic seizures.

Also have a concern about finances and her ability to afford the possible costs of her own health care prior to her death. In addition she has become more socially isolated from her friends and church community since her husband's funeral. However, none of these factors appears greater than the feeling of grief, loss, and bereavement as the most likely psychosocial explanation for her current presentation with symptoms of insomnia.

[QUESTION 117]The patient in this scenario is not competent to make decisions on his behalf, but he has executed a durable power of attorney for health care. In such circumstances it is appropriate to follow the wishes of the appointed agent--in this case, his wife--unless those wishes are clearly contrary to the wishes of the patient. In such a case it would be appropriate to defer to an alternate agent--the daughter in this instance--and ignore the agent's directives, which are clearly contrary to the patient's expressed wishes. For the patient in question, therefore, the physician should discontinue the ventilatory support as well as the hydration and nutrition. Obviously, it would be optimal to take the time to help the wife to be more comfortable with her husband's expressed wishes; however, sometimes the efforts expended along these lines are of no avail. Transferring the patient to the care of another physician would not discharge the physician's responsibilities. Likewise, maintaining ventilation while discontinuing hydration and nutrition and allowing the patient to die slowly would also not be a responsible course of action for the physician under these circumstances.

Table 5 displays the results for the 113 patients with JME in this study. Table 5: Responder Rate 50% Reduction From Baseline ; In Myoclonic Seizure Days Per Week for Patients with JME Placebo N 59 ; Percentage of responders * statistically significant versus placebo Effectiveness For Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures In Patients 6 Years Of Age The effectiveness of KEPPRA as adjunctive therapy added to other antiepileptic drugs ; in patients 6 years of age and older with idiopathic generalized epilepsy experiencing primary generalized tonic-clonic PGTC ; seizures was established in one multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, conducted at 50 sites in 8 countries. Eligible patients on a stable dose of 1 or antiepileptic drugs AEDs ; experiencing at least 3 PGTC seizures during the 8-week combined baseline period at least one PGTC seizure during the 4 weeks prior to the prospective baseline period and at least one PGTC seizure during the 4-week prospective baseline period ; were randomized to either KEPPRA or placebo. The 8-week combined baseline period is referred to as "baseline" in the remainder of this section. The population included 164 patients KEPPRA N 80, placebo N 84 ; with idiopathic generalized epilepsy predominately juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, juvenile absence epilepsy, childhood absence epilepsy, or epilepsy with Grand Mal seizures on awakening ; experiencing primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Each of these syndromes of idiopathic generalized epilepsy was well represented in this patient population. Patients were titrated over 4 weeks to a target dose of 3000 mg day for adults or a pediatric target dose of 60 mg kg day and treated at a stable dose of 3000 mg day or 60 mg kg day for children ; over 20 weeks evaluation period ; . Study drug was given in 2 equally divided doses per day. The primary measure of effectiveness was the percent reduction from baseline in weekly PGTC seizure frequency for KEPPRA and placebo treatment groups over the treatment period titration + evaluation periods ; . There was a statistically significant decrease from baseline in PGTC frequency in the KEPPRA-treated patients compared to the placebo-treated patients. Table 6: Median Percent Reduction From Baseline In PGTC Seizure Frequency Per Week 23.7% KEPPRA N 54 ; 60.4.
