The effects of ouabain and diphenylhydantoin on ATPase activity in rat erythrocyte membranes were studied and also influence of K on ATPase activity was studied. The ATPase activity of rat erythrocyte membrane has been shown to consist of two components. The first component requires the Mg but occurs in the absence of Na or K (Mg-ATPase) and is not inhibited by ouabain and stimulated by diphenylhydantoin. The second component requires the presence of Mg and also Na or K (Na-K-Mg-ATPase). It is inhibited by ouabain and is stimulated by diphenylhydantoin in low Na concentration and inhibited in high Na concentration. K inhibit Na-K-Mg-ATPase which is inhibited by ouabain. Ouabain and diphenylhydantoin show reversed effect to Na-K-Mg-ATPase activity. It suggest that the therapeutic effect of diphenylhydantoin on digitalis induced cardiac arrhythmia may be resulted from their effect on ion transport mechanism of cell membrance. And the relevance of these findings to the action of ouabain and diphenylhydantoin on membrane transport mechanism is discussed.

Some therapeutic agents and medicaments may lead to pathologic changes in the gingival tissue, especially on the cultured human gingival fibroblasts. The purpose of this study was to investigate on the effect of diphenylhydantoin, retinoic acid to the human gingival fibroblast. Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured from the healthy gingiva of patients with orthodontic patients. Gingival fibroblasts were trypsinized and transferred to the wells of 96 well microtest plates. Next day, the medium was removed, fibroblasts were washed with HBSS, and the washed cells were cultured in growth medium added 5 or $10{\mu}g/ml$ of diphenylhydantoin, $10^{-5}M$, $10^{-6}M$ and $10^{-7}M$ of retinoic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid. The passage number of cultured fibroblasts were fifth and eighth. The cell morphology was examined by inverted microscope, the cell number was counted by hemocytometer, and cell activity was measured by the growth and proliferatiton assay using MTT assay. The fifth experiments were performed and statistical significance was measured by ANOVA. The cell morphology in the presence of retinoic acid was round irrespective of the presence of diphenylhydantoin and glycyrrhetinic acid(Fig 2-6). The proliferation of cells was not changed by diphenylhydantoin(Table 1). The cell activity showed the tendency to increase at the concentration of $10{\mu}$'/, of diphenylhydantoin (Table 2). The cell activity in the presence of retinoic acid glycyrrhetinic acid was decreased, and the increased cell activity by diphenylhydantoin was decreased by retinoic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid at the concentration of $10^{-7}M$(Table 3-5). These results suggested that the increased cell activity by diphenylhydantoin might be modulated by retinoic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid.

The author studied the actions of ouabain and diphenylhydantoin sodium on the ATPase activity in mitochondrial fraction isolated from rabbit heart and compared with that of quinidine. The results obtained are as follows: 1) In studying the $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase activity, the rabbit heart isolated was immediately frozen for 7-9 days (ageing of preparation) and thereafter the mitochondria1 fraction obtained by differential centrifugation technic was treated with solution A containing 0.15% deoxycholate for 24-48 hours at $-10^{\circ}C$ before using in experiment. These methods increased the activity ratio to 0.87-0.98. 2) The $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase activity in mitochondrial fraction of rabbit heart was not completely but markedly inhibited by ouabain. This inhibitory action of ouabain was moderately antagonised by $K^+$ concentration at constant Na concentration. 3) Diphenylhydantoin sodium in concentration of $5{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}10^{-3}M$ stimulated markedly not only $Mg^{++}-dependent$ ATPase activity but also $(Na^++K^+)$-activated ATPase activity and in concentration lower than $10^{-6}M$ had little effect. However, this effect of diphenylhydantoin was markedly increased in the presence of $Na^+$ alone rather than $K^+$ alone, but lesser than that effect in the presence of both $Na^+$ and $K^+$, together. The stimulating effect of diphenylhydantoin was specifically antagonized by ouabaion. 4) When the rabbits were intravenously injected with ouabain and diphenylhydantion respectively, $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase activity of rabbit heart of ouabain-treated group was much decreased and both $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase and $Mg^{++}-activated$ ATPase activity were moderately increased in diphenylhydantoin-treated rabbit group. 5) The $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase activity in mitochondrial fraction of rabbit heart was slightly inhibited by quinidine in high concentration of $10^{-4}M$, but nearly little effect was observed below the concentration of $5{\times}10^{-5}M$. 6) It might be possible to conclude that diphenylhydantoin specifically antagonised the action of ouabain on the membrane ATPase, which is different from the action of quinidine.

Ths sorption and desorption properties of four different solid adsorbents were evaluated for the trace enrichment of diphenylhydantoin from biological samples. Graphitized carbon black(GCB) gave the highest adsorption coefficient. And among the organic solvents examined, methanol gave the highest desorption coefficient. Using the GCB column, the optimum elution volume of the eluting solvent was evaluated from the breakthrough curve of diphenylhydantoin. The usefulness of GCB as the solid adsorbent was examined for the solid-phase extraction of diphenylhydantoin from serum in the concentration range of $20-50\;{\mu}g/ml$.

The effects of dephenylhydantoin, strychnine, coramine, d-amphetamine and chlorpromazine on $QO_2$ and non-inulin space $Na^+$, $K^+$ concentration of rat cerebral cortical slices incubated in pH 7.4 glycylglycine glucose saline was investigated. In general, there are decreased non-inulin space $Na^+$ concentration or increased non-inulin space $K^+$ concentration or both when the ratio of respiration to non-inulin space is greater than control group except in case of chlorpromazine $10^{-4}\;M$. And it is suggested that the ratio of respiration to non-inulin space is responsible more closely for the non-inulin space Na, K concentration than $QO_2$ expressed per tissue wet weight. Effects of diphenylhydantoin and several other agents on electrolytes and the electroshock seizure threshold are discussed.

This report describes a case of dizziness in a patient with trigeminal neuralgia that was caused by a vestibular schwannoma. A 60-year-old man with a history of pain on his left cheek, chin, molar and tongue for 5 months was diagnosed as suffering with trigeminal neuralgia of the left mandibular nerve, and this was caused by a left vestibular schwannoma. The diagnosis of the tumor was confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and so gamma knife surgery was performed 1 month later. At that time, the patient had been referred to the pain clinic due to allodynia on the tongue and gingival, and hypesthesia was also present on the left half of the face. Trigeminal nerve block with dehydrogenated alcohol and stellate ganglion block with 1% mepivacaine were performed and oral medication with diphenylhydantoin was started. The symptoms were alleviated after nerve block and oral medication. Dizziness, blurred vision and ataxia then developed from the 13th hospital day. We considered the symptoms as a side effect of diphenylhydantoin and we reduced the dose of diphenylhydantoin. However, the symptoms grew worse. Another brain MRI showed a slight increase of the tumor size and a mass effect with displacement of the adjacent organs, and hydrocephalus was also noted. This case shows the importance of considering the secondary symptoms that are due to brain tumor while treating trigeminal neuralgia. The changes of the brain tumors should also be considered along with the presence of new side effects.
