This document summarizes guidelines for gentamicin use and monitoring. It describes gentamicin as a aminoglycoside antibiotic used for gram-negative infections. Once daily dosing is now preferred over multiple daily doses for better efficacy and reduced toxicity. Therapeutic drug monitoring is important given gentamicin's narrow therapeutic index, with target trough levels below 2 mg/L for once daily dosing. Dose adjustments may be needed based on gentamicin levels and renal function to ensure therapeutic levels are achieved safely.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.

Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance

2. ESSENTIAL INFORMATION - GENTAMICIN
Gentamicin Policy (adults)
http://intranet/en/Trust-Staff/Antibiotic-Guidelines/Gentamicin-Protocol/
Paediatric aminoglycoside policies can be navigated to
from:
http://intranet/en/Trust-Staff/Antibiotic-Guidelines/Paediatric-Guidelines/
How to do Gentamicin levels
http://intranet/en/Your-Division/Diagnostic-Specialties-Division/Pathology1/Gentamicin-Assay/
3. GENTAMICIN
Aminoglycoside antibiotic – same group as Streptomycin,
tobramycin, netilmicin, amikacin, neomycin, kanamycin
Broad-spectrum vs Gram negative and Gram positive aerobic
bacteria
Most important activity is against aerobic Gram negative bacilli ie
coliforms and pseudomonas
Not active against strict anaerobes
Synergistic activity vs Streptococci (endocarditis)
Only active when used topically or given parenterally
Main uses – UTI, intra-abdominal sepsis (combined with eg
amoxicillin and metronidazole) and “Gram-negative sepsis”
Narrow therapeutic index – dose needs to be carefully calculated
and levels monitored to ensure therapeutic and non-toxic levels
achieved
4. GENTAMICIN AND RENAL FUNCTION
Renal impairment – use gentamicin with caution
See Gentamicin policy for advice on dose adjustment
according to creatinine clearance
Creatinine clearance calculated using Cockcroft-Gault
equation rather than eGFR
All patients on gentamicin need levels monitoring and
U+Es monitoring (U+Es every 48 hours)
Sepsis can lead to transient renal impairment
Acute renal impairment in sepsis – give “full”
gentamicin dose initially to avoid undertreatment of
more severe sepsis
5. CALCULATING THE INITIAL GENTAMICIN DOSE
IN RENAL IMPAIRMENT
Dose adjustment for impaired renal function
Cockroft-Gault equation for estimating creatinine clearance:
Creatinine Clearance (GFR) = (140 - Age) x Weight (Kg) x F
Serum Creatinine (µmol/litre)
Where F = 1.23 (For Men)
1.04 (For Women)
Dose adjustment recommendations:
Cr Cl (ml/min) Dose
30-70 3-5mg/kg once-daily
10-30 2-3mg/kg once-daily
5-10 2mg/kg every 48 to 72 hours according to
levels
6. GENTAMICIN ADMINISTRATION
Twice and thrice daily dosing with gentamicin used
to be the norm – more likely to achieve low peak
levels near bacterial MICs and drug accumulation
with rising trough (pre-dose) levels – high risk of
toxicity
Last two decades – once daily dosing has
become the most popular way to give gentamicin
(can also be used for tobramycin and amikacin)
7. ONCE DAILY GENTAMICIN
Systems available
Prinz scheme – 5 mg/kg (3 mg/kg for the elderly or
lower if renal impairment) ~ initially used only at
GRH but now used across the Trust
Hartford scheme – 7 mg/kg ~ used to be used at
CGH – adjustment was to dose interval rather than
the dose – doses given either every 24, 36 or 48
hours
8. ONCE DAILY GENTAMICIN
Advantages
Less likely to cause toxicity
Probably more effective (reliably high peak levels well
above bacterial MICs and bacteria also affected when
serum levels reach trough because of the post-
antibiotic effect [high intrabacterial levels when serum
levels have dropped])
Easier to administer, cheaper
Easier to do levels (no need for the paired pre and 1
hour post-dose levels needed for bd and tds regimes)
9. EXCLUSIONS FOR USE OF OD GENTAMICIN
Once daily dosing is inappropriate and should not be
used in:
Endocarditis (lack of experience)
Pregnancy (lack of experience)
Major Burns
Ascites – liver impairment a predisposition to renal
impairment – fluid compartment distribution issue
Osteomyelitis
Myeloma patients (renal amyloid)
10. HOW OFTEN TO MEASURE LEVELS ?
Depends on renal function (particularly baseline
renal function)
Depends on whether initial gentamicin level is
normal or not – if not => dose adjusted => repeat
level after first adjusted dose
Depends on the regime – od, bd or tds
11. FREQUENCY OF MONITORING LEVELS
OD regime and normal renal function and first level
satisfactory => twice weekly gentamicin levels
BD or TDS regime – first levels after patient on
gentamicin for 48 hours
if those levels are satisfactory then repeat every 5-7 days
If those levels are unsatisfactory – repeat after dose change
when established on altered regime for 48 hours
13. INTERPRETATION OF LEVELS
POST-DOSE LEVEL OF 3.5, REGARDLESS OF TIMING IS
WORRYINGLY HIGH
0

Potentially toxic
Intermediate

14. INTERPRETATION
If Serum gentamicin concentration is:
<2mg/L (12 hrs post infusion) or <1mg/L (18 hrs post infusion) then the
present dose is correct for the patient’s existing renal function. This shows
no accumulation; therefore continue with the same daily dose.
If Serum gentamicin concentration is:
>2mg/L (12 hrs post infusion) or >1mg/L (18 hrs post infusion) then the
present dose is too high for the patient’s existing renal function. Dose
reduction to a new dose will be required as per this equation:
New Dose = Previous daily dose x Target serum value
Actual serum level
Serum gentamicin levels should be rechecked 12 to 18 hours after the new
dose.
If gentamicin levels are within the recommended range with normal
renal function then monitor levels and U&Es twice weekly.
15. INTERPRETATION AND REGIME MODIFICATION
If the level has been taken at the correct time interval and
is found to be in the “potentially toxic area” omit the next
dose –consider doing a trough (random) level the
following morning to see if the level has dropped to a
amount where it would be safe to give a further (but
reduced) dose of gentamicin
Random level should be less than 1 before the patient can
have a further dose
Review whether gentamicin is still clinically necessary or
whether an alternative, less nephrotoxic, antibiotic should
be used instead
Discuss with ward pharmacist, senior colleague or duty
consultant microbiologist if in doubt
