Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate frontal sinus complications developed after previous external craniotomies requiring frontal sinus reconstruction and their treatment with an endoscopic approach. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 22 patients who referred to Sant'Orsola-Malpighi University Hospital and Bellaria Hospital (Bologna, Italy) between 2005 and 2017. All patients presented with frontal sinus disease after frontal craniotomy with sinus reconstruction performed to treat various pathological conditions. We reported our experience in the endoscopic management of such complications and we reviewed the current literature concerning the endoscopic treatment of these conditions. RESULTS In total, 14 frontal mucoceles, 4 cases of chronic frontal sinusitis, 2 mucopyoceles and 2 fungus ball of the frontal sinus were identified. Endoscopic surgical treatment included 7 DRAF IIa, 1 DRAF IIb, 11 DRAF III and 3 DRAF IIc (modified DRAF III) approaches. The success rate of the surgical procedure was 86% (19/22 patients). Recurrence of the initial pathology occurred in three patients (14%) requiring a conversion of previous frontal sinusotomy into a DRAF III sinusotomy. CONCLUSION Frontal sinusopathy can be a long-term complication following craniotomies and may lead to potentially severe pathological conditions, such as mucoceles and frontal sinus inflammation. Its management is still debated and requires recovery of the patency of nasal-frontal route. Our study confirms that the endoscopic endonasal approach may offer a valid solution with low morbidity avoiding re-opening of the craniotomic access. For selected cases, endoscopic approach could also be performed simultaneously to craniotomy as a combined surgery to reduce the risk of short- and long-term complications. Long-term follow-up is mandatory in patients with a history of opened and reconstructed frontal sinus and should include imaging and endoscopic outpatient evaluation.

Ovarian toxicity: from environmental exposure to chemotherapy. Curr Pharm Des 2015; 20:5388-97.

Abstract
Unlike men, who have continuous spermatogenesis throughout most of their lifetime, women are born with a fixed supply of follicles, and this number progressively declines with age until the menopause. Beside age, the speed of follicle depletion can be regulated by genetic, hormonal and environmental influences. In the course of their lives, women are exposed to multiple chemicals and radiation sources that can increase the chance of developing permanent infertility and premature ovarian failure (POF). A wealth of experimental data indicate that iatrogenic (chemotherapy, radiotherapy) and xenobiotic agents (e.g., chemicals, pharmaceuticals) are potent ovotoxicants capable of accelerating ovarian reserve depletion. In the present review we reported the negative effects exerted on mammalian ovary by some widely diffused environmental chemicals, as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dithiocarbamate mancozeb, and by 1-3 butadiene and 4-vinylcycloexene, two occupational chemicals known to be capable of inducing ovarian cancer and infertility. Furthermore, attention has been devoted to the consequences of chemo- and radiotherapy on the ovary, both known to affect reproductive lifespan. Our increasing understanding of metabolic alterations induced by these agents is fundamental to individuate new therapeutic strategies aimed to prevent ovarian dysfunction in fertile women.

Abstract
PURPOSE To understand if repeated cycles (2-4 rounds) of gonadotropin stimulation could affect intracellular localization/content of proteins controlling cell cycle progression in mouse fallopian tubes (FT) and ovaries. METHODS FT and ovaries of estrous mice (control) and of stimulated mice were analyzed to detect Oct-3/4, Sox-2, p53, β-catenin, pAKT and cyclin D1 localization/content. Spindles and chromosome alignment were analyzed in ovulated oocytes. RESULTS After round 4, FT and ovaries of control and stimulated groups showed no differences in Oct-3/4, Sox-2 and β-catenin localization nor in Oct-3/4, Sox-2, p53, β-catenin and pAKT contents. Cyclin D1 level increased significantly in FT of treated mice. Oocytes number decreased meanwhile frequency of abnormal meiotic spindles increased with treatments. CONCLUSIONS Repetitive stimulations affected oocyte spindle morphology but did not induce changes in a set of proteins involved in cell cycle progression, usually altered in ovarian cancer. The significant increase of cyclin D1 in the FT requires further investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The interest in clinical investigations in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of aging men has increased over recent years, particularly in the context of partial androgen deficiency. The aim of this paper is to inform the scientific community about a harmonized Italian Aging Males' Symptoms (AMS) scale. METHODS There were two slightly different Italian AMS scales, which both underwent an up-to-date linguistic & cultural translation process, i.e., were both valid to be applied in clinical research. However, there are potential long-term problems associated with having two Italian language versions of the scale in the same country. Therefore, an ad hoc committee of key persons related to both versions met with the scale's developer, to create a harmonized single Italian AMS. RESULTS The harmonization meeting came up with a consensus item-by-item and the new Italian reference scale was agreed upon. It was decided that this scale should be published to avoid any confusion among future users. CONCLUSION The Italian AMS scale published in this paper should be used for future clinical and other research.

Abstract
1. The ability of dextro-mequitamium iodide (d-Meq) to antagonize bronchomotor and inflammatory effects mediated by histamine and antigen challenge in the upper or lower guinea pig airways or both and its potential activity against the recruitment and activation of eosinophils in the bronchial wall have been evaluated in comparison with azelastine. 2. In receptor-binding studies, d-Meq displayed a nanomolar affinity for H1 and muscarinic receptors, and it was endowed with potent bronchodilating properties in the nanomolar range toward tonic contractions induced by histamine and carbachol. 3. d-Meq (100-1,000 nmol/guinea pig) and azelastine (100-5,000 nmol/guinea pig) administered by aerosol significantly inhibited histamine- and antigen-induced increases in insufflation pressure in sensitized animals. 4. d-Meq (1,000-6,000 nmol/kg i.v.) dose dependently inhibited the histamine- or antigen-induced increase in vascular permeability in the upper airways. 5. d-Meq was more effective against histamine than antigen challenge, and its potency was similar or greater than that of azelastine. 6. Aerosolized d-Meq (1,000 nmol/animal) reduced antigen-induced eosinophil accumulation in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from sensitized guinea pigs. 7. Eosinophils recovered from the BAL fluid of antigen-challenged animals showed an increased chemotaxis in response to LTB4 or platelet-activating factor. Both d-Meq and azelastine (300 nmol/animal) reduced this increase without affecting direct chemotaxis induced by leukotriene B4 (LTB4). 8. These findings provide evidence that local administration of d-Meq might be useful in the treatment of allergic disorders, such as rhinitis and asthma.

Abstract
A series of 7-(2,2-dimethyl)propyl substituted xanthines were synthesized and tested for their antibronchospastic activity in comparison with theophylline. In vitro, the inhibition of carbachol-induced increase in bronchial tone was determined. In vivo, the inhibition of antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs was determined 1, 3 and 5 h after oral administration. Central side effects were evaluated. In vitro, the majority of compounds were more effective than theophylline. In vivo, three compounds 2, 14 and 15 showed an effect comparable to theophylline but longer lasting. A mild sedative effect was generally observed. Compound 2, 7-(2,2-dimethyl)propyl-1-methyl xanthine, coded MX2/120, was selected for a deeper evaluation.

Abstract
The pharmacodynamic profile of a new xanthine derivative, 7-[(2,2-dimethyl)propyl]-1-methyl xanthine (CAS 155006-67-0, MX2/120), was investigated in comparison with theophylline. The compound reduces in vitro the bronchospastic tone induced by carbachol or histamine in guinea-pig bronchi, with a potency 11 and 5 fold greater than theophylline, respectively. MX2/120 is significantly more active and long-lasting than theophylline in in vivo experiments toward spasmogens such as acetylcholine (ED50 over 5 h = 15 mumol/kg p.o. vs 230 mumol/kg p.o.) or histamine (ED50 over 5 h = 122 mumol/kg p.o. vs 500 mumol/kg p.o.) while being almost equiactive to theophylline toward antigen and capsaicin induced cough strokes. MX2/120, if administered by i.p. route reduces hyperresponsiveness to histamine induced by PAF and extravasation of protein into bronchoalveolar lavage fluid induced by capsaicin. These anti-inflammatory effects of MX2/120 are of similar extent when compared to theophylline. Unlike theophylline, MX2/120 up to 275 mumol/kg p.o. possesses little or no CNS excitatory effects in mice in terms of reduction of sleeping time induced by chlordiazepoxide, increase in mortality and convulsions induced by pentetrazol and increase in locomotor activity. This reduced neuroexcitatory action is probably related to its lack of affinity to adenosine receptors that could also explain the absence of effect on basal gastric secretion. Chronotropic effects of MX2/120 in conscious rats are similar to those of theophylline while the effects of both drugs on blood pressure are of minor extent. The overall pharmacodynamic properties of MX2/120 are superior to those of theophylline in relation to its antibronchospastic activity and lack of excitatory effects on CNS.

Pharmacology of LR-B/081, a new highly potent, selective and orally active, nonpeptide angiotensin II AT1 receptor antagonist. Br J Pharmacol 1995; 114:1117-24.

Abstract
1. The pharmacological profile of LR-B/081, (methyl 2-[[4-butyl-2-methyl- 6-oxo-5-[[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl]-1(6H)- pyrimidinyl]methyl]-3-thiophenecarboxylate), a novel antagonist at the angiotensin II (AII) AT1-receptor, was studied in vitro and in vivo. 2. In rabbit aortic strips incubated with LR-B/081 (1-1,000 nM), the concentration-response curve to AII was displaced to the right in a nonparallel fashion and the maximal contraction was progressively reduced, indicating that the compound is an insurmountable antagonist in this preparation (apparent pKB = 9.50 +/- 0.23). However, the interaction of LR-B/081 with AII receptors was found to be reversible, since the maximal response to AII was restored by coincubation with losartan, a surmountable AII AT1-antagonist. Contractions elicited by KCl or phenylephrine were not affected by 10 microM LR-B/081. 3. In rat isolated perfused kidney, LR-B/081 and losartan antagonized the AII-induced vasoconstriction [IC50 (95% confidence limits) = 17(13-24) and 39(32-54) nM, respectively]. The LR-B/081 antagonism was incompletely reversed by excess AII, while losartan was fully displaced. The IC50 values of LR-B/081 and losartan obtained against vasoconstriction induced by endothelin-1 and noradrenaline were two orders of magnitude higher. 4. In pithed rats, the intravenous administration of LR-B/081 (0.2-2 mumol kg-1) dose-dependently shifted to the right in a nonparallel fashion the dose-pressor response curve to AII. The maximal pressor response to AII was reduced by LR-B/081 in a dose-dependent fashion. The coadministration of losartan induced a progressive recovery of the maximal pressor response to All, indicating that in vivo the interaction of LR-B/081 with All receptors is reversible. LR-B/081 at 6 micromol kg-1, i.v. also did not affect the vasopressor response induced by noradrenaline in the pithed rat.5. In conscious normotensive rats, single oral administration of LR-B/081 at 6 micromol kg-1 markedly inhibited the All-induced pressor response; the inhibition lasted more than 24 h.6. In conscious renal hypertensive rats, intravenous LR-B/081 appeared as potent as losartan (ED40mmHg(95% confidence limits) = 0.50(0.36-0.70) and 0.86(0.57-1.3) micromol kg-1, respectively). A single intravenous(2 micromol kg-1) or oral (6 micromol kg-1) administration of LR-B/081 induced a marked fall in blood pressure which lasted for at least 12 h.7. In conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats, LR-B/081 at 20 micromol kg-1 , p.o., induced a marked and sustained fall in blood pressure. The duration of the antihypertensive effect was longer than 12 h.Heart rate was not modified by LR-B/081 treatment. Repeated oral administration of 17 micromol kg-1LR-B/081 for 16 days did not result in the development of tolerance.8 These results demonstrate that LR-B/081 is a potent, selective and orally active antagonist of All at the AT1-receptor subtype, which markedly lowers the blood-pressure in conscious renal and spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Abstract
A case is reported where the high flow characteristics of thermoplasticized gutta-percha provided an efficient seal even without adequate shaping of an iatrogenically damaged root canal system. Persistent periradicular irritation was reduced significantly, or isolated within the root canal space, thus allowing periapical repair.

Abstract
The consecutive perfusion with three different media containing 1) a high-K+, Ca(2+)-free solution with 1 mM of EDTA, 2) a high-K+, Ca(2+)-free solution with 1mM of EDTA and 0.3-10 microM of norepinephrine (NE) or 1-10 nM of endothelin (ET), and 3) a normal K+ solution without EDTA, NE, or ET, respectively, produced three rapid and transient vasoconstrictions of the isolated and perfused rat kidney. Results obtained from preincubation with prazosin (0.9 nM) and nifedipine (10 nM) or reperfusion at various Ca2+ concentrations showed that the responses involved are characterized by a different mobilization of cellular and extracellular Ca2+. The first phase greatly depends on the influx of extracellular Ca2+ and/or membrane Ca2+ through voltage-dependent channels, the second from mobilization of intracellular Ca2+, while the third is due mainly to the influx of extracellular Ca2+ through receptor-activated channels. NE elicited Ca2+ mobilization from both cellular and extracellular sources through activation of alpha-1 adrenoceptors. ET is particularly effective in producing extracellular Ca(2+)-dependent vasoconstriction in a prazosin-resistant manner. Present results show that this method could be suitable to distinguish different Ca2+ requirements for spasmogen-induced vasoconstriction in the isolated and perfused rat kidney.

Abstract
The vasodilator activity of rat(r) alpha and beta calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) as compared to the structurally related peptide, rAmylin, [Cys(ACM)2,7]human (h)CGRP and salmon calcitonin, was investigated in the rat isolated and perfused kidney which vascular tone was increased by 3 microM noradrenaline. The order of potency in producing vasodilation was alpha CGRP > beta CGRP >> rAmylin. [Cys(ACM)2,7]hCGRP and salmon calcitonin were ineffective. The activity of alpha and beta forms of rCGRP and rAmylin was antagonized by hCGRP (8-37), a CGRP1 receptor antagonist, at a concentration which did not affect acetylcholine-induced vasodilation. These results indicate the involvement of CGRP1 receptor in the CGRP-induced vasodilation in the rat kidney.

Abstract
We have investigated the effect of endothelin (ET)-1, ET-3 and ET-(16-21) on isolated and perfused rat kidney (IPK). ET-1 and ET-3 produced a similar dose-dependent increase in perfusion pressure of IPK, while ET-(16-21) was completely inactive. The ET-1 effects were greater in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) as compared to normotensive rats (WKYR), whereas the ET-3 effects were greater in the SHR group only at the lowest doses. The pressure response of IPK induced by ET-1 was partially modified by prior application of the nitric oxide synthetase inhibitor L-nitroarginine in both WKYR and SHR.

Abstract
Carnitine plays an important role in regulating the flow of energetic substrates and their balance through cellular membranes. Usually in chronic renal failure, increased plasma levels of carnitine are found. In early hemodialysis a slow decrease of the muscle concentrations of carnitine is found, followed by a decrease of plasma concentrations long after substitutive treatment. Several signs and symptoms are attributable to carnitine deficiency. It is reported that these changes regress with suitable supply of intravenous carnitine after dialysis end for 15-30 days, and subsequently with chronic administration in the dialysis fluid.

Abstract
The occurrence, effects and sensitivity to capsaicin and stimulation of adenylate cyclase of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the rat kidney have been investigated. CGRP-like immunoreactivity was higher in the medulla than in the papilla and the cortex. Capsaicin pretreatment significantly reduced CGRP-like immunoreactivity in the medulla and papilla while a small reduction was found in the cortex. CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibres were observed surrounding blood vessels and occasionally in the vicinity of renal tubules and between the collecting ducts in the papilla. Some CGRP-immunoreactive fibres were also seen in kidneys from capsaicin-pretreated rats. Infusion of capsaicin (1 microM) through the renal artery of isolated and perfused rat kidney increased the CGRP-like immunoreactivity outflow from the venous effluent. This effect exhibited desensitization at the second challenge with the drug. Infusion of either capsaicin (1 microM) or CGRP (1 microM) reduced the increase of perfusion pressure induced by norepinephrine in isolated perfused rat kidney. Plasma protein extravasation was studied in the various regions of the rat kidney following infusion of capsaicin. No significant change was observed in the medulla, papilla or cortex after capsaicin administration. Adenylate cyclase activity was studied in membrane preparations from cortex, medulla and papilla of rat kidney. Cortical and medullary adenylate cyclase was stimulated in a concentration-dependent manner by salmon calcitonin, rat calcitonin and rat CGRP. Salmon calcitonin in these two areas showed half-maximal effective concentration approximately 1000 times lower and maximal stimulation only slightly higher than those of rat calcitonin and rat CGRP. However, in the papilla, only rat CGRP was able to induce a 60% increase of enzyme activity (half-maximal effective concentration, 19 +/- 1.6 nM). It is concluded that CGRP contained in capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerve may exert a local function in discrete areas of the rat kidney.

Abstract
The effects of bunaftine (Meregon), quinidine, ajmaline, procainamide, xylocaine and propranolol have been investigated on glycolysis and oxygen consumption of rabbit heart and on the metabolic rate of trained rats. Quinidine, bunaftine and ajmaline stimulated glycolysis, procainamide was inactive while xylocaine and propranolol inhibited it. Myocardial oxygen consumption was reduced by quinidine and bunaftine only at high concentrations. However quinidine at 1-10(5) g/ml showed stimulating effect. Ajmaline and procainamide were inactive; xylocaine had a weak stimulating effect at 1-10(-6), propranolol had a stimulating effect at 3-10(-5) and 1-10(6) while it had an inhibiting effect at 1-10(-4) and 5-10(-3). With the exception of xylocaine and propranolol, which inhibited metabolic rate of trained animals, all the other drugs were inactive. In view of these findings, the mechanism of action of anti-arrhythmic drugs is discussed and it is suggested that the metabolic changes they induce are to be considered as secondary or toxic effects, the main site of action being the myocardial cell membrane.
