Abstract
The assessment and potential risk of process equipment-related leachables (PERLs) in the production of biopharmaceuticals and cell therapeutics using single-use (SU) equipment has been discussed previously. However, potential interactions of cells with PERLs have not yet been considered. Here, we present a quantitative adsorption study of neutral, organic small-molecule leachable compounds - known for extractables & leachables (E&L) analysis of SU equipment - in aqueous suspensions of CHO and T cells. The solid-water partition coefficient Kd was obtained for all compounds that showed adsorption. The findings implied that hydrophobic interactions are dominant; however, there was no unambiguous correlation between the derived adsorption coefficient Kd and the octanol-water partition coefficient Kow. Interestingly, a maximum affinity of both cell types to the leachable bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphate, which is known to be detrimental to cell development, was observed. A comparison of both cell types revealed that they generally interact with the same compounds in most cases but to different extents. Using partition coefficients enables estimation of the concentrations of leachable compounds associated with the biomass phase and in the aqueous suspensions and could be used for risk assessment of SU systems in biopharmaceutical and cell therapy (CT) manufacturing processes.

Abstract
Abstract
A collaborative study was conducted to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of an extension of AOAC Official Method 991.20, Nitrogen (Crude) in Milk, to animal feed, forage (plant tissue), grain, and oilseed materials. Test portions are digested in an aluminum block at 420°C in sulfuric acid with potassium sulfate and a copper catalyst. Digests are cooled and diluted, and concentrated sodium hydroxide is added to neutralize the acid and make the digest basic; the liberated ammonia is distilled by using steam distillation. The liberated ammonia is trapped in a weak boric acid solution and titrated with a stronger standardized acid, hydrochloric acid; colorimetric endpoint detection is used. Fourteen blind samples were sent to 13 collaborators in the United States, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Recoveries of nitrogen from lysine, tryptophan, and acetanilide were 86.8, 98.8, and 100.1%, respectively. The within-laboratory relative standard deviation (RSDr, repeatability) ranged from 0.40 to 2.38% for crude protein. The among-laboratories (including within-) relative standard deviation (RSDR, reproducibility) ranged from 0.44 to 2.38%. It is recommended that the method be adopted First Action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL. A lower concentration (1% H3BO3) of trapping solution was compared with the concentration specified in the original protocol (4% H3BO3) and was found comparable for use in an automatic titration system in which titration begins automatically as soon as distillation starts. The Study Directors recommend that 1% H3BO3 as an optional alternative to 4% boric acid trapping solution be allowed for automatic titrators that titrate throughout the distillation.

Abstract
Given controversy about the comparative utility of inpatient and outpatient treatment for substance abusers, we compared samples of cocaine-abusing inpatients (n = 149) and outpatients (n = 149) regarding a range of clinical characteristics both at entrance into treatment and one year following this initial assessment. We wished to assess (a) whether inpatient treatment appeared justified on the basis of more severe clinical problems in this group of patients and (b) the comparative one-year outcome of patients treated in the two conditions. Regarding the presenting clinical picture, inpatients had more severe ratings in numerous areas, with heavier drug use, social impairment, and psychopathology. At one-year follow-up, the direction of clinical ratings had reversed in the two groups, with inpatients showing lower problem severity in several areas, particularly cocaine use and psychopathology. Thus, results of this nonrandomized study of inpatient and outpatient treatment suggest that decisions to hospitalize were made on a rational basis and that inpatient treatment had better long-term efficacy.

Abstract
In a sample of 298 cocaine abusers seeking inpatient (n = 149) or outpatient (n = 149) treatment, rates of psychiatric disorders were determined by means of the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Research Diagnostic Criteria. Overall, 55.7% met current and 73.5% met lifetime criteria for a psychiatric disorder other than a substance use disorder. In common with previous reports from clinical samples of cocaine abusers, these overall rates were largely accounted for by major depression, minor bipolar conditions (eg, hypomania, cyclothymic personality), anxiety disorders, antisocial personality, and history of childhood attention deficit disorder. Affective disorders and alcoholism usually followed the onset of drug abuse, while anxiety disorders, antisocial personality, and attention deficit disorder typically preceded drug abuse.
