Abstract
Malignant bowel obstruction is a common complication in patients with advanced abdominal or pelvic cancer. Whereas surgery should be considered in all cases of malignant bowel obstruction, many advanced and terminal cancer patients are considered unfit for surgery. In such patients with a short life expectancy, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, continuous and/or colicky pain, can be controlled by using a pharmacologic approach made up of analgesics, antiemetics and antisecretory drugs, without the use of a venting nasogastric tube. Among the antisecretory drugs, octreotide has been shown to reduce nausea and vomiting in bowel-obstructed patients owing to a reduction of gastrointestinal secretions, thus allowing in most patients removal of the nasogastric tube and the associated distress. Preclinical and clinical studies that demonstrated the role of somatostatin and octreotide in bowel obstruction are reviewed.

Abstract
According to the data of the literature, the prevalence of pain in cancer patients at various stages of the disease and the settings of care range from 38 to 51%, with an increase of up to 74% in the advanced and terminal stages. Despite published World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for pain management, 42 to 51% of cancer patients receive inadequate analgesia and 30% receive no analgesics at all. A 3-year Research Project “Towards a Pain-free Hospital”, which began one year ago, is ongoing at the National Cancer Institute of Milan. The research is organized in three subsequent steps. In the 1st one, a series of patient- and staff-oriented evaluation tools are used to assess the level of appropriateness of pain communication, assessment, management and control of the in-patients. The 2nd step will implement a number of continuing educational interventions aimed at improving patient awareness and staff knowledge of the appropriate pain assessment and management in order to respond to the patient's pain problem. In the 3rd step, all the assessment tools used in step one will be applied again to establish the prevalence of pain, the causes and intensity and patient satisfaction with pain management and to evaluate the impact of the interventions performed during the 2nd step regarding the overall ability of our hospital to tackle pain emergency in the hospitalized cancer population. The results relative to the 1st step are herein reported, in particular as regards the study on prevalence, causes, severity of pain, the interference of pain with sleep, mood and concentration, the use of pain medications and the relief obtained, the structural validity and internal consistency of the assessment tool used. A total of 258 patients hospitalized for at least 24 h were interviewed by 9 physicians using a brief structured questionnaire prepared ad hoc: 51.5% of the patients presented pain during the previous 24 h caused by surgery (49.6%) or by the tumor mass itself (29.3%). Out of the 133 patients with pain, a high degree (much or very much) of pain at rest was present in 27.1% and pain on movement in 30.8%; 31.6% did not take any analgesic treatment, and 14.3% of the latter reported a high degree of pain at rest and 21.4% on movement. Pain interfered with sleep from much to very much in 28.8% and with irritability and nervousness in 15.9% of the patients. In the 91 patients taking analgesics, 57.2% reported a high degree of pain relief. A high degree of pain and interference, however, was associated with low relief levels. The assessment tool used was shown to have a good structural validity and internal consistency (Chrombach alpha index of interference scale = 0.73). Although the Milan Cancer Institute has the longest tradition in Italy of pain assessment by means of validated tools and pain management according to the WHO guidelines and educational efforts in this field, the results of the study clearly show that it is necessary to persevere with continuing educational and informative programs in order to reduce the frequency and severity of pain and thus improve the quality of life of in-patients.

Abstract
We report on the design of a new type of hot-filament electron gun delivering fairly high current (a few hundreds of μ A) at high voltage (up to 100 kV) in continuous or pulsed mode. Its novel features are that the filament is heated by means of a pack of rechargeable batteries floated atop the high-voltage power supply in order to get rid of bulky isolation transformers, and that the filament current and, hence, the electron gun current, is controlled by a feedback circuit including a superluminescent diode decoupled from the high voltage by means of an optical fiber. This electron gun is intended for general purposes, although we have especially developed it to meet the needs of our experiment on the infrared emission spectroscopy of rare gas excimers. Our experiment requires that the charge injection into the sample is pulsed and constant and stable in time. The new electron gun can deliver several tens of nC per pulse of electrons of energy up to 100 keV into the sample cell. The new design also eliminates ripples in the emission current and ensures up to 12 h of stable performance.

Abstract
The aims of this network group were to collect epidemiological data of PcP cases in 14 hospitals in the Paris area and to determine the Di-Hydro Pteroate Synthase (DHPS) genotypes, genetic markers for possible sulfamide resistance. From January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2008, 993 (mean 166/year) PcP cases have been reported. Sixty-five percent of patients were HIV-positive. The median count of CD4 lymphocytes was 32/mm(3) (30 in HIV-positive patients, 152 in HIV-negative patients). In HIV-positive patients, PcP revealed the HIV infection in 39%. Among 304 PcP occurring in HIV known infected patients, no prophylaxis was prescribed for 64%; cotrimoxazole prophylaxis had been prescribed to 47 patients but only one of them had the right compliance. In HIV-negative patients (264), corticosteroids were prescribed in 59% and cytotoxic chemotherapies in 34%; 78% did not receive prophylaxis. One hundred sixty nine tumoral pathologies and 116 transplantations were notified. The mortality rate was 16% at day 14 (13% in HIV-positive patients, 26% in HIV-negative patients). Mutations in DHPS genes were detected in 18.5% of samples; 12.5% of patients were infected with several strains. The total annual number of cases has been stable for five years but the proportion of HIV-negative patients increased from 25% to 43%.

Abstract
Spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is rare and has been reported only sporadically. Therapeutic options are either a surgical approach, which is the more frequently adopted, or a simple observation. We report a case of spontaneous dissection of the SMA with a review of the literature and present a new therapeutic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The interaction between genetic and environmental risk factors in determining premature cardiovascular events has been largely investigated in case-control association studies. By contrast, few family based analyses have been performed so far. PATIENTS/METHODS From a series of 2936 subjects aged 45-64, we selected probands who died for a premature (<50 years) ischemic heart disease (IHD) and with at least one family member with a history of IHD also occurring under the age of 50. Ninety-four families from 32 pedigrees including 296 subjects were identified. In this population, we analyzed the relationship between background risk factors [age, gender, the G1691A polymorphisms of factor V gene, the C677T polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, the 844ins68bp polymorphisms of the cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS) gene, and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms] and environmental risk factors, both atherogenic (smoke, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity) and thrombogenic (smoke, homocysteine, fibrinogen) by a Markov block-recursive modeling approach. RESULTS None of the studied polymorphisms had an independent direct effect on the risk of IHD. As opposed to atherogenic factors, thrombogenic factors (homocysteine and fibrinogen) turned out to be possible mediators of the indirect effect of the MTHFR gene on IHD risk (OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.01-1.69, for every 8 mm increase in plasma levels of homocysteine in TT-carriers compared with CT/CC-carriers (OR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.01-1.22), for every 20 g L(-1) increase in plasma levels of fibrinogen in TT-carriers compared with CT/CC-carriers). CONCLUSION Plasma levels of homocysteine and fibrinogen may be interpreted as intermediate factors mediating the effect of predisposing genes on the risk premature cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Infections with 3 species of malaria parasites are rarely encountered and observed in less than 0.05% of cases. We came across such an infection in four year-old, monozygote twin sisters, coming from Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo). In both of them, parasitemia was low or very low for P. falciparum and P. ovale and of 0.1-0.2% for P. malariae. The twin sisters presented with an iron deficiency anaemia, associated with an heterozygous sickle-cell anaemia and a moderate splenomegaly. The biological tests results were similar. They responded well to treatment. We point out the difficulty in recognizing the concomitant presence of several species of hematozoaire on blood smear.

Abstract
The genotypes of 63 strains (11 reference strains and 52 strains from hospitalized patients) of the haploid yeast Candida glabrata were determined from 33 putative gene enzymatic loci. This enabled the characterization of 26 different multilocus genotypes. Genetic differentiation was found between distant hospitals (located in Montpellier and Paris, France) but not for other parameters (anatomic origins or human immunodeficiency virus-positive [HIV+] and HIV- patients). Strong nonrandom association between loci could be seen. Such statistical linkages were confirmed upon comparing the patterns of 14 RAPD [random(ly) amplified polymorphic DNA] primers from 20 of these strains to results obtained from multilocus enzyme electrophoresis analysis. This finding suggests a mainly clonal mode of reproduction of C. glabrata. The consequences of the clonality displayed by C. glabrata populations on the epidemiology of this yeast are also discussed.

Abstract
UNLABELLED AN UNUSUAL INFECTION: Actinomycosis, uncommon in a pelvic localization, is a severe condition not well known to gynecologists. It is caused by Actinomyces israeli and is closely associated with long-term use of an intrauterine device. In the pelvic localization, the disease generally presents as a pseudoneoplastic formation. DIFFICULT DIAGNOSIS: Diagnosis is generally not established clinically. Pathology provides positive diagnosis. The germ cannot be isolated easily as it does not survive standard bacteriology sampling. Monoclonal antibodies may be helpful. MEDICAL TREATMENT Intravenous penicillin G followed by at least 6 months oral penicillin is generally successful in eradicating the infection. Indications for surgery should be limited to diagnostic procedures (pathology specimen), drainage in case of abscess formation, and removal of an obstacle compressing the digestive or urinary tract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Actinomycosis is uncommonly observed in a pelvic localization. The presence of an intrauterine device is an important risk factor. CASE REPORT A 50-year-old woman presented a tumoral mass in the pelvis with secondary liver involvement. Pathology examination corrected the initial diagnosis of advanced stage pelvic neoplasia to actinomycosis. Rapid improvement was achieved with penicillin. DISCUSSION Differential diagnosis is difficult but essential in case of pelvic actinomycosis as misdiagnosis can have disastrous surgical consequences. Medical treatment is indicated. Actinomycosis should be entertained as a possible diagnosis in all cases associating a pelvic tumor and inflammation in women wearing an intrauterine device.

Abstract
Allergen exposure in atopic asthmatic patients is associated with recruitment and activation of eosinophils in the airways. Once activated, eosinophils release toxic products, including the eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), able to damage bronchial structures and to increase bronchial hyperresponsiveness. With this background, the present study was designed to evaluate whether ECP levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid could reflect, better than BAL eosinophil counts, the cellular activation that follows allergen exposure in atopic asthmatics. Twenty-two atopic patients attended the laboratory on two separate days. On the 1st day, they underwent methacholine (MCh) inhalation challenge to detect the degree of nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness. On the 2nd day, they underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy and BAL, at baseline or 4-6 h after allergen inhalation challenge. In this latter patient group, MCh challenge was repeated 3-5 h after allergen challenge, 1 h before fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The analysis of the mean baseline FEV1 values and the degree of bronchial reactivity to MCh (MCh Pd20) on the 1st study day did not demonstrate differences between the two patient groups (p > 0.1, each comparison). In addition, in the allergen-challenged group, MCh Pd20 was decreased significantly after allergen challenge (151.4 micrograms/ml and 67.6 micrograms/ml, respectively, before and after challenge; p < 0.05). Evaluation of the different BAL cell types demonstrated that the proportions of eosinophils and epithelial cells were increased significantly in the allergen-challenged group compared with the group evaluated at baseline (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). Moreover, ECP levels, corrected by the correspondent albumin levels (ECP/Alb), were higher in the allergen-challenged group compared with the group evaluated at baseline (p < 0.05). In addition, although a positive correlation was demonstrated between BAL eosinophil percentages and ECP/Alb values (r = 0.72, p < 0.05) in the group evaluated at baseline, no links were found between these parameters in the allergen-challenged group (p > 0.1). However, in this latter group, a weak positive correlation was demonstrated between eosinophil percentages and delta Mch, i.e., the increased non-specific bronchial reactivity, which is observed after allergen challenge (r = 0.55; p < 0.05). Thus, in stable asthmatic patients an ongoing activation of eosinophils parallels their migration, but this eosinophilic inflammation is not strictly related to bronchial reactivity to Mch. By contrast, after allergen inhalation challenge, eosinophil recruitment and activation seem to follow different temporal kinetics, and eosinophilic inflammation may be partially associated with the degree of airway hyperresponsiveness.

Abstract
An isotonic fixative (formalin and thimerosal) solution, with a saponin additive to lyse erythrocytes and platelets, has been developed. The formalin and thimerosal ensure good preservation of blood parasites. This fixative has led to the development of a new concentration technique using cytocentrifugation (cytospin) in the search for Plasmodium spp., Leishmania spp., and microfilariae, as well as leukocytes in which parasites or pigment may be present. The concentration of the parasites present in the sediment from 100 microl of blood spread on a 6-mm diameter circle results in good morphology that is well stained using the usual Giemsa or Wright techniques. This new technique has the advantage of a relatively low cost and offers the possibility of isolating and identifying in the same sediment the main blood-stage parasites, with the exception of young trophozoites, of Plasmodium falciparum.

Abstract
We used 31P-NMR to study the action of the drug ouabain, a digitalis glycoside, on the ecto-nucleotidase catalysed reaction pathway: [formula: see text] Even under conditions where it was impossible to resolve all resonances from the individual species, the rate constants for the individual steps may be evaluated by a chi 2 fit of equations describing the global kinetics to the NMR data. The fitted values of the reaction rate constants show no inhibition of any step in the reaction pathway, confirming previous results. This improved kinetic method can be used to evaluate the effect of different substrates, ions and drugs, both in intact or pathologically altered organs and in tissue subcellular fractions.

Abstract
1. Within the context of neural regulation of the activity of sinus node pacemaker cells, the study of heart rate variability, as explored in the frequency domain by spectral analysis, was proposed about 15 years ago as a quantitative tool for the evaluation of short-term autonomic cardiovascular control. It has since been postulated that the two main oscillations observed, one at low and the other at high frequency, may respectively be markers of sympathetic vs. vagal efferent cardiac activity, and that the low- and high-frequency signals may reflect a reciprocal or 'push-pull' relationship between sympathetic and parasympathetic control. 2. In our power spectra assessment, ECG R-R intervals were submitted to fast Fourier transformation analysis in order to study the mechanisms underlying the control of heart beats in rats. Data were acquired in conditions of steady arterial blood pressure and cardiac and respiratory activity (spontaneous or artificially stimulated) in diethyl-ether-anaesthetized and pithed rats, as well as in a group of control rats, all in the presence and absence of l-hyoscyamine. 3. With increasing doses of the parasympathetic antagonist, the fractal dimension of the time-series structure remained stable in most cases. The low-frequency spectral component narrowed with increasing drug doses and the high-frequency band underwent either no, or only very slight, changes. 4. In these rodent assays, the low- and high-frequency signals cannot be interpreted as a push-pull relationship between sympathetic and parasympathetic control.

Abstract
We evaluated in parallel the action of antigliadin (AGA-IgA) and anti-endomysium (EmA) antibodies in a group of 144 coeliac patients during the various diagnostic procedures, and in 277 controls (206 affected by other gastroenterological diseases and 71 healthy or affected by non-gastroenterological diseases, not causing any immune changes). Little difference was observed between the two tests both during the initial phase of the disease and during gluten-free diet. No EmA positivity was observed in controls; AGA-IgA resulted positive in 6.3% of gastroenterological controls and in 5.6% of non-gastroenterological controls. Finally, the sensitivity, specificity and predictability of the two tests were evaluated in a sample of 92 subjects undergoing intestinal biopsy. The results show that the tests have the same sensitivity, but only for EmA 100% specificity was found.

Abstract
In a privileged observation of severe malaria contracted after laboratory contamination, we noticed a deep hypocalcemia 67 mg/l = 1.67 mmol/l. Since then we found again that hypocalcemia, connected with hypoalbuminemia, in ten other patients showing severe forms of malaria Plasmodium falciparum. The main biological datas of those four cases are summarized below. We made a systematic study of malaria cases, whatever may have been the intensity of parasitemia and clinical symptoms, and whatever the plasmodial species. For 26 non african paludisms , we found an average level of calcemia of 85 mg/l and an average hypoalbuminemia of 37 g/l = 536 mumol/l. For 30 african paludisms we found an average calcemia of 87.5 mg/l. That reduced value is statistically significant comparatively with the average value of 30 african people with no malaria 91.5 mg/l. The problem is to know if this hypocalcemia is connected only with hypoalbuminemia and if it may involve clinical or therapeutical effects.

Abstract
The radiographic diagnosis of normal and abnormal findings following total joint replacement of joints at the wrist, fingers and carpal bones is presented and discussed. Knowledge of the surgically wanted and/or achieved position of the implanted material and its relation to the neighboring bone is essential for proper radiologic evaluation of possible complications, such as infection, loosening, luxation or subluxation and fracture.
