Evaluating effectiveness The level of rigour of this evaluation should be similar to that used by competent drug regulatory agencies e.g. FDA, EMEA ; for the clinical evaluation of medicines submitted for marketing approval. Important considerations include the types of studies e.g. RCT, observational, or PK, PD the quality of the study independent of study type the validity and strength of evidence; and its applicability to the relevant paediatric population e.g. defined by different ages or disease states ; . Accepted guidelines for critical appraisal of therapeutic studies, for grading of "strength of evidence" and for deciding about applicability of research evidence to different patient circumstances can be used in answering this question. 41 ; 42 ; The randomised controlled clinical trial RCT ; is widely accepted as the gold standard study design for determining the effectiveness of interventions, with some exceptions. 43 ; While high quality RCTs remain the ideal, they do have a number of acknowledged limitations, especially those performed specifically for gaining marketing approval. 40 ; These include relatively small numbers of included subjects especially in published paediatric RCTs 44 and short duration of followup, both of which limit their usefulness in determining effectiveness and safety ; , especially in the treatment of chronic childhood conditions. In addition, subjects included in RCTs are often homogeneous and results may not be generalisable to the general paediatric population. A particular example of this is the issue of the different age groups that are encompassed by paediatrics neonates; infants; children; and adolescents ; . There are large variations in drug handling and response between these age groups and so studies conducted in the relevant age groups are needed to inform decisions about medicines intended for use in that age group. Systematic reviews of RCTs may be able to overcome some but not necessarily all of these limitations. A number of innovative trial designs have been developed to facilitate the study of small numbers of patients, which are particularly relevant for the study of uncommon or rare but serious childhood diseases. These include adaptive designs, such as Bayesian sequential studies; 45 ; randomized withdrawal designs; 46 ; the randomized placebo phase design; 47 ; and "n of 1" studies for populations. 48 ; Some of these study types may offer additional advantages over traditional RCTs, such as helping determine optimal patient and dose selection. Studies using such designs have been conducted in the paediatric population and should be sought to inform treatment decisions where available. While such studies are currently not numerous, it can be anticipated that their number is likely to increase in the future as more paediatric medicines research networks are established and become operational to address the increasing demand for better evidence about medicines for use in the paediatric population. Another important aspect of assessing effectiveness is whether outcomes that are clinically meaningful to the paediatric population have been evaluated in a particular study. 49 ; These may include patientbased outcomes such as symptom scores or quality of life measures validated in the relevant paediatric population ; or paediatric specific ones, such as developmental, learning and behavioural outcomes. In some cases, a well designed and conducted observational study e.g. prospective cohort study ; evaluating clinically meaningful outcomes at relevant time points may be preferable to a RCT that does not. What are the possible side effects of amiloride and cordarone. In the postnatal lamb lung preparation, the pharmacology of inhibition of lung fluid reabsorption is consistent with the involvement of cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channels 27 ; , a notion supported recently by Norlin and colleagues 40 ; who have shown direct upregulation of amiloride-insensitive fluid reabsorption by cGMP; expression of this phenotype appears to be under developmental control since pimozide a cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel blocker ; is ineffective in fetal lamb lung 26 ; . Recently, these in vivo data have been corroborated in a cellular system by demonstrating amiloride-insensitive, cGMP-evoked whole cell sodium currents in postnatal rat alveolar epithelial cells sensitive to blockade by pimozide and di trivalent cations, including Zn2 28 ; . Clearly, together, these recent findings suggest the scenario that such cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channels are an important contributor to adult lung fluid homeostasis perhaps both sodium absorption and potassium secretion ; . Intriguingly, the very recent data of Ehrhardt and colleagues 18 ; employing monolayers of human alveolar epithelial cells see below ; clearly show that, quantitatively, the most significant component of the shortcircuit current is Zn2 sensitive, suggesting that cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channels may be important in adult human alveolar epithelial ion and fluid handling. In addition to the essential role of amiloride-sensitive and -insensitive sodium channels, there is overwhelming evidence for the functional expression of a number of other ion conductances. These include calcium-sensitive and -insensitive potassium channels 15, 29, 32, ; , proton channels see below and Refs. 13 and 14 ; , and chloride channels, including cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator CFTR ; see below and Refs. 9, 24, 30, and 42 ; . Although the possible role of these ion channels in alveolar fluid homeostasis has been reviewed by various researchers 34, 42 ; , exact mechanistic information is still rather lacking. For example, active secretion of potassium has been alluded to in isolated perfused rat lung studies 5 ; , but currently we cannot be sure which specific channel types are involved. It is of interest, however, that Leroy and colleagues 32 ; have recently reported the presence of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in the alveolar epithelium which may, in combination with voltage-dependent and calcium-sensitive potassium channels, contribute to transepithelial transport of sodium and chloride by maintaining the electrochemical driving force across the alveolar epithelium. Of further importance to alveolar homeostasis may be to understand how these ion channels are regulated by neurohumoral factors under pathophysiological conditions [e.g., acute respiratory distress syndrome and congestive heart failure CHF ; ]. In this regard, some factor s ; in lung edema fluid have been reported to stimulate short-circuit current across rat distal lung epithelial cell monolayers 47 ; . Similarly, the stimulatory role of proteinase for sodium absorption across lung epithelial barrier s ; has been a focus of intense research 17, 51 ; . A particularly important area of interest in pathophysiology of the lung is CHF 46, 47, 49, ; , for which some exciting new!

HENaC and PD. Since we examined only healthy adult males in this study, the range of values detected may be too narrow to adequately demonstrate a relationship between and hENaC mRNA expression and biologic activity. Future studies, described below, will reexamine these relationships as they relate to lung development, injury, and disease. The sensitivity of the QRTPCR assay will make it valuable in studying clinically relevant patient populations. Considerable evidence shows that removal of excess liquid from the air spaces of the lung is primarily driven by active Na transport across the tight alveolar epithelial barrier 38 ; . There is clinical evidence that patients with pulmonary edema who can reabsorb some alveolar edema fluid within 12 h after intubation and acute lung injury exhibit more rapid recovery from respiratory failure, and a lower mortality 18 ; . This was demonstrated by quantitation of the edema-fluid protein concentration in sequential samples of lung fluid from mechanically ventilated adult patients suffering from either high-pressure or high-permeability pulmonary edema. In addition, a recent study of preterm infants showed that the amiloride-sensitive nasal PD was significantly lower in infants in whom RDS subsequently developed, than in those who did not go on to develop RDS 14 ; . Application of QRTPCR in similar patient groups would allow us to elucidate the role of transcriptional regulation of hENaC in the resolution of pulmonary edema. Furthermore, the ability to measure hENaC mRNA levels may lead to an improved understanding of the genotypephenotype correlation in CF lung disease. Later studies at the NIH established the exact site of action of the drug it inhibited the very last step on the synthetic pathway, i.e., the conversion of desmosterol to cholesterol 18 ; , by reduction of the side-chain double bond. Knowing the site of inhibition led to a number of findings that challenged the value of triparanol. For example, it was shown that large amounts of desmosterol accumulated in the plasma of treated animals and patients, accounting for up to 30% of total plasma sterols 19 ; .
