[Hemorrhagic diathesis and oral surgery].

Dental and/or periodontal diseases are an important clinical and social problem in patients with hemorrhagic diathesis. The possibility to overcome it successfully depends on the type of hemorrhagic disease and on the organization of hematological and odontostomatological centres: in fact, the best results in the surgery of these patients are obtained through the balanced combination of general and local treatments. The right diagnosis of coagulopathy is the first important goal: it can be obtained through the screening tests of hemostasis and, when necessary, through additional tests. Therapeutic protocols are available for each congenital or acquired hemorrhagic diathesis to prepare the patient for surgery; by so doing the risk of hemorrhagic complications is negligible. A better homogeneity in the approach to these patients in the different centres is highly desirable: the present review can offer a contribute in this respect.

Evidence for serotonin-S2 receptor involvement in analgesia in humans.

The possible analgesic activity of ritanserin (a new very selective and potent serotonin-S2 antagonist) was studied (double-blind) in humans. A significant increase in nociceptive flexion reflex threshold and subjective pain threshold was observed after five days of treatment, while treatment with placebo did not induce any change. The effects of ritanserin were not reversed by either naloxone or saline (double-blind) administration. Our data suggest a possible role of serotonin-S2 receptors in analgesia.

Alterations due to ampicillin and rifampicin in S. sanguis and S. aureus isolated from dental plaque. An electron microscopic study.

In this work we analysed the ultrastructural changes in S. aureus and S. sanguis after exposure to rifampicin and ampicillin respectively. S. aureus grown in the presence of rifampicin showed ultrastructural changes that can be summarized as follows: the peripheral cell-wall increased to three to five times the normal thickness; the cross-walls were considerably (two to ten times) thicker than normal; after 8 h of exposure a complete lysis occurred. S. sanguis grown in the presence of ampicillin showed ultrastructural changes that can be summarized as follows: aggregation and condensation of ribosomes; alterations of division with the presence of asynchronous septa; in some bacterial cells a prominent bulge was observed at one pole of the cell; after 8 h of exposure a complete lysis occurred.
