Abstract
The activity of pidotimod ((R)-3-[(S)-(5-oxo-2-pyrrolidinyl) carbonyl]-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, PGT/1A, CAS 121808-62-6) was studied vs. placebo in a double-blind, randomized, multicentre trial, involving 60 pediatric patients with recurrent urinary tract infections. Recovery from acute events was quicker with pidotimod than with placebo (9.6 vs. 12.3 days). In treated patients antibiotic therapy was shorter (6.9 vs. 8.3 days) and main symptomatic parameters (body temperature, vesical tenesmus, stranguria, pollakiuria, total number of symptoms, total symptomatic intensity, rate of asymptomatic patients, haematuria, leukocyturia, positive urinary culture) receded quickly. In patients receiving the drug as well as in patients treated with placebo changes in laboratory parameters were observed, indicating recovery from the acute infectious disease. A significant trend to normalization of the immune response, expressed by chemotaxis and index of leukocyte phagocytosis, was found only in patients treated with pidotimod. After the acute episode a significant decrease of risk of relapses (69%) was observed in these patients. If a relapse occurs, the response of treated patients is quicker (duration of fever, total time of relapses) than for control patients. These findings allow to correlate the individual immune response activation to the resistance to recurrent infections and also to a better response to therapy if the disease occurs and becomes clinically relevant. No side effects were observed. Mild reactions (4 nausea/vomiting, 1 erythema) occurred only in 5 patients (2 pidotimod, 3 placebo) but were attributed to concomitant antibiotic therapy. No alterations of main laboratory parameters were found. These findings confirm the tolerability of the drug also in long-term treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The activity of pidotimod ((R)-3-[(S)-(5-oxo-2-pyrrolidinyl) carbonyl]-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, PGT/1A, CAS 121808-62-6) was evaluated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicentre trial, on 120 pediatric patients affected by recurrent respiratory infections. The clinical course of acute infections was favourable both in placebo and in treatment group, but recovery was quicker with pidotimod than with placebo. Antibiotic therapy and time of hospitalization were shorter in the patients taking pidotimod, and main symptomatic parameters (pharyngalgia, dysphagia, mucous membrane inflammation, adenopathy, anorexia) receded quickly. In patients receiving the drug as well as in placebo group changes in laboratory parameters, indicating recovery from the acute infectious events, were observed. A significant trend to normalization of the immune response, evidenced by chemotaxis and leukocyte phagocytosis index, was found only in patients treated with pidotimod. A significant decrease in the risk of relapses was observed in patients treated with pidotimod (35%), as well as a reduction of hospitalization (86%) and a decreased antibiotic therapy (47%). If a relapse occurred, the response of treated patients was quicker (fever, antibiotic therapy, hospitalization). These findings allow to correlate the individual immune response activation to the resistance to recurrent infections and also to a better response to therapy in case of clinically relevant disease. No side effects were observed. Only in 12 patients (5 pidotimod, 7 placebo) mild reactions were observed, but they were attributed to concomitant antibiotic treatment or other factors. No alterations in main laboratory parameters were seen.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
In order to evaluate alcoholic consumption in a group of young men from an area in northern Italy, 834 subjects (18 years old) were examined at their first military check up. They compiled a questionnaire dealing with their own and their fathers' alcoholic consumption, social status, cultural habits, tobacco and drug abuse. 14.3% of the group examined were teetotalers. The alcoholic consumption of the youths was 31.44 +/- 48.8 DS alcohol g/a day versus their fathers' consumption of 44.52 +/- 42.12 DS alcohol g/a day. This difference is statistically significant (t = -8.1 p less than 0.001). No difference in alcoholic consumption was found between employed and unemployed subjects. Artisans and traders evidenced the highest levels of alcohol consumption (F = 2.58, p less than 0.009). The youths changed their alcoholic habits with respect to their own parents, preferring beer to wine consumption, although no change was observed in their approach to the alcoholic problems. The beer, like alcohol, remains a sociable and reassuring drink with positive connotations, even tough it is not considered a traditional Italian drink.

Abstract
The authors review several chronic diseases in the pediatric age often improperly considered by parents, but sometimes also by the family physician, as inadvisable physical activity for the affected children. They then outline the latest pediatric knowledge and that of sport medicine indicating for each pathology the sport most indicated, those to avoid and the various ways to approach physical activity.

Abstract
120 children, 71 male and 49 female, aged between 2 years and 15 years (mean 6.15 +/- 3.52 years) with recurrent respiratory infections, were treated with Immucytal, an immunomodulator of bacterial origin, based on membrane proteoglycan fractions plus bacterial ribosomes. The children, selected on the basis of the previous year's clinical score, were treated according to a random design with either Immucytal or placebo, using the same dosage of one puff per nostril plus one puff in the oropharyngeal cavity three times a day, as follows: 1st month: two weeks' treatment, one week wash out, one week's treatment. 2nd, 3rd, 4th months: two weeks' treatment, two week's wash out. Monthly throughout the treatment period the frequency and severity of airway infections episodes were assessed using the same score as for admission. Blood chemistry test, immunological assays (circulating Ig, lymphocyte subpopulations, Merieux Multitest in vivo blastization test) and respiratory tests (spirometry using a pneumotachigraph) were done before and after the treatment. 118/120 children completed treatment; the two dropouts were in the placebo group, one for compliance and the other because of headaches. Respiratory symptoms improved significantly in the actively treated children already from the first month, but not in the placebo group. This improvement consisted of reduction of the respiratory infectious episodes in both the upper and lower airways. No changes were noted in respiratory function parameters. From the immunological viewpoint, there were significant rises in serum IgA and IgM and enhanced skin response tot he Multitest; there was no change in the percentages of different circulating lymphocyte subpopulations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A case of vaginal metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma is reported. This rare localization is often the first clue leading to the diagnosis of an occult renal adenocarcinoma. The role of electron microscopy is emphasized, since the histologic aspect of the lesion is similar to that of a primary vaginal mesonephric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Experimental and clinical evidence indicates that thymic endocrine function is under neuroendocrine control. Recently, a positive correlation was found between plasma thymulin (a major endocrine product of thymus) and serum thyroid hormone concentrations. Low serum thyroid hormone concentrations are frequently found in premature newborn infants. In this study we measured plasma thymulin by bioassay and serum T3 and T4 in a series of healthy fullterm newborns and in premature infants with various disorders. The study subjects were 26 healthy fullterm infants, 23 fullterm small for gestational age infants, 30 preterm appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants, 22 preterm small for gestational age infants and 30 infants with respiratory distress syndrome, of whom 15 were fullterm and 15 were preterm AGA. Blood samples were obtained 3, 5, 10, 20, and 40 days after delivery. In the healthy fullterm infants plasma thymulin concentrations were low during the first days of life and subsequently increased, reaching normal values for children aged 1-12 months by the 10th day after birth. Persistently low plasma thymulin and serum T3 levels were found in the majority of infants with pathological conditions; the lowest values for both hormones were found in infants with respiratory distress syndrome. A highly significant positive correlation was present in all groups between mean plasma thymulin and serum T3, but not T4. Short term T3 administration in 6 additional preterm AGA infants caused a significant increase in plasma thymulin titers compared to those in 6 untreated infants. We conclude that plasma thymulin is decreased in premature newborns with the low T3 syndrome and that this abnormality may be reversed by administration of T3. These findings indicate that thymic endocrine activity is modulated by thyroid function in early postnatal life.

Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy of ribavirin, an anti-viral agent with a broad spectrum of activity, was studied in 14 infants with bronchiolitis which, in seven cases, was caused by a respiratory syncytial virus infection. The drug was administered for 5-6 days using an aerosol in periods of either 4 or 6 h with an interval of either 4 or 2 h between administrations. The body temperature of patients with fever returned to normal by day 3 of therapy. A significant decrease in the respiratory rate occurred by day 2 when there was also a marked improvement in the subjective and objective symptomatology. The most significant clinical improvements occurred in infants presenting a respiratory syncytial virus antigen in nasal wash specimens. This suggests therapeutic selectivity by ribavirin for (or a more pronounced sensibility of) this virus.

Abstract
The permeability of the bladder mucosa to thiotepa and to the anthraquinonic antibiotics, adriamycin and daunomycin, was investigated both in humans and in experimental animals. Instillations in rabbits were performed either in intact males or in animals with ligated ureters. Absorption of thiotepa was significantly higher than that of the antibiotics both in men and in rabbits. Furthermore, a qualitative difference was observed in rabbits in relation to time and with regard to fixation to vesical tissues. In man, absorption was highest after transurethral surgery. It was also increased in cases with extensive anaplastic tumours or in the presence of acute inflammatory reactions.
