A removable intravenous microdialysis probe was developed and simultaneously used with a removable microdialysis probe placed in the lateral hypothalamus (LH). Serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) changes in blood and brain dialysates were measured by HPLC-EC after an i.p. injection of 5 mg/kg d-norfenfluramine (dNF) or 10 mg/kg fluoxetine (FLU) in freely moving rats. 5-HT in the LH significantly increased after both drugs, but the rise was larger and faster with dNF [F(7,28)=4.0 p<0.05] than with FLU [F(5,20)=5.0 p<0.01]. By contrast, in venous blood 5-HT increased after FLU [F(5,20)=2.96 p<0.05] but not after dNF. 5-HIAA after both drugs continued decreasing significantly in the LH [dNF F(7,28)=11.4 p<0.01; FLU F(5,20)=22.8 p<0.01], but it did not change in blood. Simultaneous dialysis in brain and blood allowed evaluation of the differential effects of dNF and FLU on 5-HT and 5-HIAA in the two places. Removable venous probes prevented the inflammatory reaction that may occur around permanently implanted probes, and the dialysis could be more efficient and with less risk of clogging.

Background: Neuronal activity is modulated by behavior and cognitive processes. The combination of several neurotransmitter systems, acting directly or indirectly on specific populations of neurons, underlie such modulations. Most studies with non-human primates (NHPs) fail to capture this complexity, partly due to the lack of adequate methods for reliably and simultaneously measuring a broad spectrum of neurotransmitters while the animal engages in behavioral tasks.

Background: Intracranial multimodal monitoring (iMMM) is increasingly used in neurocritical care, but a lack of standardization hinders its evidence-based development. Here, we devised core outcome sets (COS) and reporting guidelines to harmonize iMMM practices and research.
Methods: An open, decentralized, three-round Delphi consensus study involved experts between December 2023 and June 2024.

A tubular microdialysis probe is made from polysulfone hollow fibre for human haemodialysis, which has an inner diameter of 200 μm and a thickness of 20 μm. Milk is deposited to the outer surface of the hollow fibre and allowed to dry to form a dry sample. The tubular probe is then connected to the syringe pump and microdialysis of the dry sample into 0.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) elucidation of polymeric micelles delivering anticancer drugs is crucial for accurate antitumor PK-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) simulations. Particularly, establishing a methodology to quantify the tumor inflow and outflow of anticancer drugs encapsulated in polymeric micelles is an essential challenge. General tumor biodistribution experiments are disadvantageous in that inflow quantification is easy, but outflow quantification is challenging.

A capillary high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system equipped with a dual-electrode detector utilizing track-etched membrane electrodes (TEMEs) was combined with a microdialysis sampling setup. The electrochemical detector benefits from the high electrolysis efficiency of TEMEs, allowing for calibration-free coulometric detection and simplifying data analysis to determine the dopamine recovery through a dialysis probe. Additionally, this system was used for in vivo monitoring of dopamine in the right striatum of a mouse brain.
