Microbes and Other Elemental Cycles

Microbes and Other Elemental Cycles

Microbial activity plays a pivotal role in the biogeochemical cycling of iron and manganese, especially at the redox gradients characteristic of stratified aquatic environments. These cycles are driven by microbial transformations between oxidized and reduced forms of the metals, allowing organisms to exploit them for metabolic energy and structural purposes.Iron Cycling Across Redox GradientsIn neutral, oxygen-rich surface waters, iron is predominantly found in its oxidized, insoluble ferric...

Pharmacokinetic Models: Overview

Pharmacokinetic Models: Overview

Pharmacokinetic models utilize mathematical analysis to achieve a detailed quantitative understanding of a drug's life cycle within the body. They are instrumental in simulating a drug's pharmacokinetic parameters, predicting drug concentrations over time, optimizing dosage regimens, linking concentrations with pharmacologic activity, and estimating potential toxicity.
There are three primary types of models: empirical, compartment, and physiological. Empirical models, with minimal assumptions,...

Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics: Michaelis-Menten Equation

Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics: Michaelis-Menten Equation

The Michaelis–Menten equation is a fundamental model for describing capacity-limited kinetics in drug metabolism. It offers insights into the rate of decline of plasma drug concentration Cp over time, with Vmax and KM as pivotal parameters.
Vmax represents the maximum achievable process rate, while KM, known as the Michaelis constant, signifies the drug concentration at which the process rate reaches half its maximum. This relationship between Vmax, KM, and Cp gives rise to three distinct...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least squares (OLS)...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...

Area of Science:

Radiological Protection
Human Biokinetics
Radiochemistry

Background:

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is updating its biokinetic models for radionuclide intake assessments.
Accurate biokinetic models are crucial for deriving dose coefficients and interpreting bioassay data in radiation protection.
Existing models may not fully capture the physiological nuances of specific elements like manganese.

Purpose of the Study:

To review existing biokinetic data for manganese in adult humans.
To propose a new, physiologically detailed biokinetic model for systemic manganese.
To compare the proposed model with the current ICRP model for radiation protection applications.

Main Methods:

Comprehensive review of published biokinetic data for manganese.
Development of a new systemic biokinetic model for manganese in adult humans.
Comparative analysis of dose estimations and bioassay data interpretation between the proposed and current ICRP models.

Main Results:

The proposed model offers a more detailed and physiologically meaningful description of absorbed manganese behavior compared to the current ICRP model.
Both models yield similar estimates for dose per unit activity of inhaled or ingested radio-manganese.
Substantial differences arise in the interpretation of bioassay data between the two models.

Conclusions:

The proposed manganese biokinetic model enhances the accuracy of radiation protection assessments.
The model provides a valuable tool for interpreting bioassay data related to radio-manganese exposure.
It also serves as a baseline for evaluating excessive stable manganese intake in occupational health.
