i i i;: State / National THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1981 Page ' Nitro patch relieves angina it nton, v «i it j| cents - a custm e likely,| Merest, Juldrefujl knewsiU gotoM oiied®! days, Dei; United Press International GRAPEVINE — A small adhe sive patch filled with nitroglycerin and worn on the chest may help angina victims lead normal lives without debilitating chest pains, researchers said Tuesday. And a pharmaceutical company spokesman said that Transderm- Nitro, one of three patch systems approved by the Food and Drug Administration, should be avail able to the public early next year. More than 2 million Americans suffer from angina pectoris, chest pains caused by a restriction of the oxygen flow to the heart. Nitroglycerin, usually adminis tered by pills, has long been the primary treatment for the crip pling pain. But Dr. Jane Shaw, head of the ALZA Corp. research team that developed the Transderm-Nitro patch, said traditional methods of administering the substance are not precise. Because oral doses of nitrog lycerin are rapidly broken down in the body, a patient would have to take the drug every 30 minutes for it to be effective, she said. “The patch dosage form is a pre cise method of delivering nitrog lycerin to the bloodstream over 24 hours,” Shaw said. “It’s as simple as applying an adhesive bandage. Once it is in place it begins to deliver nitroglycerin at a precise rate.” The impermeable backing allows the patient to bathe or shower while getting the full benefit of the treatment, Shaw said. The semi-permeable layer con trols the rate at which the drug, usually 5 or 10 milligrams a day, enters the body through the skin. “There is no possibility for over dose of the patient,” she said. The 1-by-lVi inch patch consists of an impermeable backing, a drug reservoir, a semi-permeable membrane and an adhesive strip. Because the patch is applied once every 24 hours, researchers predicted patients would be more likely to comply with the therapy. .2? .9 TDC considers Ellington for possible prison site United Press International HOUSTON — The Texas Department of Corrections is studying the possibility of using Ellington Air Force Base and other surplus federal lands as state prisons, TDC official T. Louis Austin says. Officials toured Ellington Friday. “(But) we haven’t made any determination on any of the sites,” Austin said. However, the Justice De partment has approved Elling ton for use as an airport only, federal officials said. The cities of Houston and Pasadena are negotiating with the federal government for use of Ellington as a general aviation airport. Officials of the General Ser vices Administration Office in Fort Worth said there is no state surplus property available for prisons. And Carol Thornton, GSA spokeswoman, said her office has received no inquiries from the state as to the availabil ity of Ellington. But David Herndon, general counsel for Gov. Bill Clements, said the possibility of using Ellington and other surplus fed eral sites was first suggested to the state by the Justice Depart ment. “I can’t imagine why in the world we would be encouraged to look at these sites if they we ren’t available,” Herndon said. 82 BONANZA WIN $ 100 CASH!
