Question

Hi , I believe in some vaccines it's used as an adjuvant. It

supposedly helps the immune system shift into the right response.

I'll give you an example with an abstract. It's complicated, but the

Th1 type response is the one that's desired. Th2 responses upset a

different part of the immune system. Which in turn could be

responsible for autoimmune responses.

CpG ODN can re-direct the Th bias of established Th2 immune responses

in adult and young mice.

Induction of an appropriate immune response is essential for

successful immunization. For example, Th1 type immune responses are

necessary for the control of intracellular infections whereas Th2

type responses are more useful for the control of extracellular

infections. Immunostimulatory CpG ODN (oligonucleotides containing

unmethylated cytosine and guanine dinucleotides in specific base

contexts) act as potent adjuvants and have been shown to induce Th1

type immune responses with a number of different antigens. This study

investigates the effect of CpG ODN on the Th bias of immune responses

generated against the hepatitis B major surface antigen (HBsAg) in

adult (6-8 weeks old) and young (<1 week old) BALB/c mice. It also

investigates the potential of CpG DNA to reverse a pre-established

Th2 response generated as an adult or as a neonate, following re-

exposure to HBsAg in adult life. Both adult and young mice immunized

with HBsAg/CpG ODN had a Th1 biased immune response (strong cytotoxic

T-lymphocyte (CTL) induction, IgG2a>>IgG1). In contrast, mice

immunized with HBsAg/alum had a Th2 type immune response (poor CTL,

IgG1>>IgG2a). More importantly, when animals were immunized with

HBsAg/alum and boosted with HBsAg/CpG ODN, the CpG ODN were able to

re-direct the Th2 response pre-established by alum, whereas the

animals receiving the primary immunization with HBsAg/CpG ODN and

later boosted with HBsAg/alum maintained their Th1 bias, even after

the boost with alum. These data suggest that CpG ODN have the ability

to augment both humoral and cell mediated immune responses and

override the Th2 bias created by alum, even in very young animals,

which are known to have a Th2 biased immune system.

Hi Mike and Anita Corbus, mcorbus,

The math problem is a ratio/proportion one. Usually percentage

problems can be solved in this manner. Recall that in pharmacy that

percent means a number of grams over 100ml.

Therefore

20% = 20 gm/100 gm

The question can be read: If 20 grams of Zinc Oxide are found in

100grams of total ointment, then how many grams of ointment contain

only 8 grams of Zinc Oxide?

Ratio Proportion Set up

20 grams/100 gms = 8 grams / X gms

or

20 grams.....8 grams

--------- = ---------

100 gms......X gms

Cross Multiply: 100 x 8 / 20 = X ml = 40 mml

OR

100 x 8

-------- = X gms = 40 gms

20

To make this ointment: Mix 8 grams of solid drug and 32 grams of

ointment base to equal 40 grams of ointment in the appropriate

container after trituration and spatulation. Label and dispense after

pharmacists checks it.

I have put an answer on the other site as well which I shall copy and

place here.

Hi Mike and Anita Corbus, mcorbus,

The math problem is a ratio/proportion one. Usually percentage

problems can be solved in this manner. Recall that in pharmacy that

percent usually means a number of grams of drug over 100ml of

solution. But this is a solid, so it is grams of drug / 100 grams of

ointment.

Therefore

20% = 20 gm/100 gm

The question can be read: If 20 grams of Zinc Oxide are found in 100

grams of total ointment, then how many grams of ointment contain only

8 grams of Zinc Oxide?

Use the Ratio Proportion Set Up:

20 grams/100 gms = 8 grams / X gms

or

20 grams.....8 grams

--------- = ---------

100 gms......X gms

Cross Multiply: 100 x 8 / 20 = X ml = 40 mml

OR

100 x 8

-------- = X gms = 40 gms

20

To make this ointment: Mix 8 grams of solid drug and 32 grams of

ointment base to equal 40 grams of ointment in the appropriate

container after trituration, spatulation and levigation. Label and

dispense after pharmacists checks it.

I have put an answer on the other site as well which I shall copy and

place here.

All estrogen containing drugs must have a package insert when

dispensed because they may cause cancer. This includes birth control

pills.

Hi:

What is " trituration " and " levigation " ? I know it has something to do with

adding the zinc oxide to the base and dispersing it evenly throughout using

a spatula, but what do those words mean in terms of this process?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris-

Taken word for word from Noah Reifman's Certification Review for

Pharmacy Technicians-3rd ed.(one of my favorite study guides when I

took the test) When I took the test there was question on this--

" Communition " is defined as the mechanical process of reducing

particle size. " Trituration " is the process whereby a mixture of fine

powders is intimately mixed in a mortar. " Levigation " is the addition

of a solvent liquid to a powder to form a paste prior to the

incorporation of a powder into a cream or ointment base.

Thanks, Dora

Depending on the other choices I may or may not have figured out the right

answer.

What I would like to know is why this and other material is not included in

the text " Manual for Pharmacy Technicians " put out by the American Society

of Health System Pharmacists? I realize they can't cover *everything* there

is to know in pharmacy, even at the technician level, but if it is important

enough to ask on a certification exam then I think it should be mentioned in

the text. From the preface it says " the purpose of the second edition is

to provide a comprehensive text that addresses topics and subjects relevant

to pharmacy technicians in all practice settings "

Hi Chris-

Keep in mind that the " Manual for Pharmacy Technicians " is

published by ASHP--an organization whose primary focus is

hospital/institutional healthcare. While you may encounter a bit of

compounding done in a hospital setting-its a very small amount

compared to the other duties in a hospital pharmacy. Most compounding

is done by retail or compounding pharmacies.

Hi:

For some reason, I thought the ASHP was behind the certification, much the

same way the ASCP (American Society of Clinical Pathologists) is behind the

medical technologist registry (which is also voluntary and I realize

slightly different than certifcation)

Absolutely a great Point Dora! this is why you are my moderator!!

I want you all to know that after meeting Dora and working with her

on the PTCB Study Group! for the past 2 years, has led me to try to

convince Dora and to encourage her to become a teacher! I think she

is a natural, with a wealth of information and has great logic!

Love ya

Dear

I have not scrolled down far enough to see if anyone has attempted to

comment on this. But the best person that I know who has the best

understanding on PTCB and the other associations is/are Mike ston

of NPTA and Barry Marshall. More than likely Mike will not comment as

he is a busy man getting ready for next year's NPTA convention. But

hopefully Barry will be able to see this ant I will say this there

are severa groups or associations who have input with PTCB and who

helped toi form it and others that came along later. Traditionally

APhA has been more retail oriented and ASHP has been more hospital

oriented, althought there is more crossover than before. But there is

more to this. I amgoing to email Barry and ask him to comment on

this. Barry has been a PTCB Item Writer and he will be able to best

answer this question. There may be somene else out there who has some

first hand knowledge as well. would love to har from you .

Take care,

More on this later, but for more information go to www.ptcb.org which

has its history and associations discussed on its site.

Hi Jeannette:

It was my misunderstanding that the AHSP was the certifying agency. No one

actually told me this, it was an inaccurate conclusion I came to. Since

they are not the certifying agency then the book they put out will not

necessarily cover everything that might be on the exam.

Thanks,

Chris

Dear Mike,

1. The correct answer to your first question is #2: Policy and

Procedure Manual will give you guidelines and details on on how to

carry out the or implementing them .

#1 Materia Saftety Data sheets tell you what a drug is an dothr

ingredients in a chemical product and how harmful and Side effects,

howto clean a spill, how to handle the product how to protect your

self etc.

#3 Human Resource material is personnel manual how to interview,

hire, fire, counsel and document 'write up's " . About insruance and

benefits.

#4 US Pharmacopia is a list of drugs on the NF, National Formulary,

and the chemical structure, names, how to compund etc

The answer to question# 3 is yes ICD-9 are codes for the

International Classifications of Diseases .

Question #3

FDA developed the Med-Watch Program for any health care professional

to report drug interactions in a standard manner and to allow for

anomymity.

Tox watch is nothing!

side effects are harmless unwanted conditions that occur while

taking a drug to a small population of people

DUE Drug Use Evaluation has been discussed previously by 'experts' in

retail before

Hope that this helps you!

Hello helokitti-

Welcome to Jeanetta's PTCB study group. Please add your name to our

database if you have not done so already. I know of 2 IV

certification programs. The first is through NPTA(Texas)

pharmacytechnician.org The other one is the Letco Company out of

Alabama http://www.letcoinc.com/home_files/page0008.html While this

site doesn't advertise an IV certification program, they do indeed

have one. Both require that you complete a home study segment then

follow up with a 2 day hands on lab. Check out their site for more

info.

Good Luck,

Dora

[Guest guest]

in the first answer the msds sheet stands for material safety data sheet. This

is a form that is required by osha to have for each and every chemical used

and/or stored. Every place of business is supposed to have them. Even fast

food had them. Therefore your guess was wrong. I can't tell you for sure which

answer is correct, so I won't give you a guess. Yes, the ICD-9 code is

referring to diagnosis codes. I learned this when i thought i was going to be a

In hospital pharmacies, which of the following resources contains broad general

statements of philosophy and detailed guidelines for implementing them?

1. Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS)

2. policy and procedure manual

3. Human resource manual

4. US Pharmacopoeia

I am guessing Material Safety Data sheet. Is this correct?

Is the IDC-9 code on insurance forms referring to the diagnosis code?

Which of the following programs was developed by the FDA to standardized

reporting of drug reactions?

1. MedWatch

2.SideEffex

3.ToxWatch

4.DUE

Thanks again for the help. I appreciate it. Anita mcorbus@...

QUESTION

A couple of weeks ago someone posted an shortcut to the page on the

clos.net

web site to punch in your starting weight and any amount of time within

2

years for an estimate of weight loss. Low, average, and high.

If anyone knows where it is located, please let me know again.... Sorry

for

the repeat, but I can't remember where it was and I wanted to check it

out.

Thanks,

Kim

Sara said that possible rashes start

from 7 to 14 days after the shots and

I`ve read that on information sheets

too. However before I saw the light my

daughter got the MMR and a measles

type rash appeared over her entire

body 1 HOUR after she got the shot.

The GP said it was nothing to

worry about!!!!!

Your daughter was lucky! The rash is measles leaving the body!

Most with vaccines don't get that and the measles goes round and round and

round and round.............

damaging!

I go to the coin store and buy a one ounce rectangular 99.9999 silver ingot, put

it in a vise and saw it into 8-1/8 " pieces. They last forever and cost about six

bucks U.S., depending on the price of silver.

question

anyone know the best place to get replacement silver probes in canada

or u.s.?
