The time course of free/total morphine ratio (f/t M-ratio) after i.v. heroin administration in both healthy people and patients with liver or renal insufficiency was pharmacokinetically simulated. In the 502 cases of heroin consumption investigated in this study, the morphine blood levels and f/t M-ratio were registered, arranged, and statistically analysed. Total morphine blood levels in survivors and non survivors were 0.010-3.900 µg/ml (with 0-0.275 µg/ml of free morphine) and 0.010-8.570 µg/ml (with 0-2.200 µg/ml of free morphine), respectively. Therefore the respective ranges of f/t M-ratiolevels in survivors and in lethal cases were 0-0.786 and 0-0.935. Based on this simulation, the f/t M-ratio after heroin injection was determined by the time elapsed since the last dose and individual pharmacokinetics of heroin and its metabolites. This ratio is independent to the heroin dose. Keywords: Heroin; Morphine; Lethal intoxication; Pharmacokinetic simulation

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) stroke is a type of stroke with the highest mortality rate, with only about 38% of patients who survived for the first year after stroke. Antihypertensive treatment one of the main therapy for reduce the mortality rate in ICH. Based on review from research study journals, peer review journals, guidelines or book about use of antihypertensive drugs in ICH stroke patient and/or hypertensive emergency, uses of nicardipine, labetalol, esmolol and enalapril can be as the first-line therapy to manage acute high blood pressure in intracerebral hemorrhage stroke if there is no contraindication or caution is present. Nicardipine, labetalol, esmolol and enalapril is four agent that reduce blood pressure in a titratable fashion and do not lead increases in intracranial pressure. Hydralazine, sodium nitroprusside and nitroglycerine can be used as alternative agent if nicardipine, labetalol, esmolol and enalapril can not be used in ICH stroke patient.

Alginate microcapsules were obtained by emulsification/internal gelation technique was chosen as carrier papain and the potential use as an oral controlled release system investigated. Chitosan was then applied as a membrane coat to increase the mechanical and stabilize the microcapsules in simulated gastric fluid. Papain microcapsules consisted of particle size distribution, morphology, entrapment efficiency of papain in the microspheres and release study. The release study was performed in various pHs with or without proteolitic enzyme. Narrow particle size distribution with average of 315-560 µm was obtained from microcapsule prepared with water/oil ratio of 30 : 70, acid/CaCO3 molar ratio of 6 : 1 and agitation speed of 400 rpm. Papain microcapsule with that composition has entrapment efficiency of 95.79%. The release of papain from the alginate-chitosan microcapsule took place trough diffusion and relaxation of polymer at pH 1.2-4.5. The in vitro release studies showed that alginate-chitosan complex formation reduce erosion of alginate-chitosan matrix at pH 6.8. Both pepsin and pankreatin increased release of papain. Alginate-chitosan polyelectrolyte complex occurred on the surface of papain microcapsule controlled the release of papain from microcapsule. The presence of chitosan on the surface of microcapsule retained the release of papain in undesired site (gastric). In conclusion, papain microcapsule developed in this study is suggested to be appropriate approach for oral delivery of papain. Keywords: Papain; Microcapsules; Alginate, Chitosan; Pepsin; Pankreatin

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic airway disease which is characterized by progressive airway obstruction. Bronchodilators and corticosteroids are the first choices of therapy in COPD patients. The goal therapy of COPD patients is to prevent respiratory failure, which can impact on death. But nowadays, the mortality rate due to COPD continues to increase. WHO predicts mortality from COPD in the year 2030 will be ranked third in the world. This high mortality can be caused by the ineffectiveness of therapy given. Objective: The aim of this study is to find out the effectiveness of bronchodilator and corticosteroid treatments in COPD patients. Methods: An observational study conducted retrospectively in the 2018 period at Fatmawati Central General Hospital. The effectiveness of therapy was assessed from the patient's clinical condition, blood gas values (PaO2 & PaCO2) and the average length of stay (AvLOS). Results: COPD was mostly suffered by males (83,33%), and the highest age for COPD was in the range of 45 years and above (90%). Bronchodilator that commonly prescribed were albuterol (30.08%), ipratropium bromide (12.2%), fenoterol hydrobromide (10.57%), terbutaline sulfate (8.13%), theophylline (1.63%) and aminophylline (5.69%), while the corticosteroids were budesonide (17.07%), methylprednisolone (9.76%) and dexamethasone (4.88%). Bronchodilator and corticosteroid had improved patient's clinical condition (96.67% patients) and also improved PaO2 & PaCO2 values patients. There was a significant improvement in PaO2 and PaCO2 value in COPD patients (p <0.05). Conclusion: Bronchodilator and corticosteroid in COPD patients had improved patient's clinical condition and PaO2 & PaCO2 values, but the average length of stay exceeds the standard (6-9 days). Keywords: Bronchodilator; Corticosteroid; COPD; Blood Gas Analysis; Average Length of Stay
