[Double hydatid cyst of the liver, one of them with a fistula and causing stenosis of the pyloric canal associated with calculous cholecystitis].

A case of double hydatid cyst of the liver (one fistulised into the pyloric canal where it had caused stenosis) and its association with calculous cholecystitis is reported. The therapy chosen to treat this rare phenomenon had a very satisfactory outcome in view of the complexity of the case given the need to perform several operations in contemporary (enucleation of the cyst, gastric resection and cholecystectomy) and the age of the patient.

[Diverticulitis of the right colon. Description of our experience].

Two cases of diverticultis of the right colon are described which received surgical treatment. These lesions often simulate acute appendicitis and thus represent a intraoperative surprise Differential diagnosis using a neoblastic mass is often impossible. The paper stresses the importance of surgical treatment which in general terms is the same as the treatment of the diverticular mass of the left colon. In cases where it is difficult to decide between a phlogostic and neoblastic pathology, it is advised that a right hemicolectomy should be performed in line with criteria for oncological requirements.

[Approach methods to the central venous system].

Personal experience in the aggression of the CNS for various purposes is considered. It is thought that the internal trans-jugular route is the easiest approach and procedures the fewest complications with appropriate techniques.

[Treatment of acute cholecystitis and its complications].

Forty cases of acute cholecystitis and its complications have been reviewed. Examination of the literature and a study of the personal series leads to a discussion on the need or otherwise for early surgery, particularly in those patients in whom a more unfavourable course for the clinical picture can be objectively presumed.

[Treatment of septic complications in diverticular disease of the colon].

Eight years' experience in the treatment of the septic complications of diverticular disease of the colon is examined and 44 cases treated in the period 1980-1988 are considered. The Hartman procedure gave good results in the majority of cases; other procedures such as drainage with colostomy, or anastomosis resection during a single intervention are reserved for particular cases. In addition, on examining the case histories and the current literature it seems that it is correct to treat DD (diverticular disease) surgically whenever the typical manifestations of the overt disease appear; waiting often represents nothing more than a postponement of the surgical treatment until an emergency arises.

[Value of axillary lymphadenectomy in malignant tumors of the breast. Apropos of 135 controlled cases].

Personal experience in the treatment of breast cancer is reported along with the results of 135 cases in which long-term follow-up was carried out. The results are in line with what has been observed in the recent literature. Study of therapeutically removed axillary lymph nodes proved to be the main factor on which to base prognostic judgment and programmes of multidisciplinary treatment, if applicable. Further elements derive from hormonal receptors and, in future, from the study of cell kinetics with tritiated thymidine.

[Nimesulide: multicenter clinical study for evaluation of its therapeutic effect in odontostomatology].

A Polycentric Study was carried out so as to assess the anti-inflammatory effectiveness and pain-killing activity of Nimesulide in Odontostomatological practice, in 78 patients suffering from alveolo-gingival and parodontal abscesses, consequences of tooth extraction, suppurated radicular cysts, dysodontiasis, osteitis, periodontitis, periostitis. The results obtained confirm the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect as well as the good tolerability of this drug.

[Bilaminar technic in the treatment of gingival recessions].

Bilaminar procedures represent an evolution in the treatment of marginal tissue recessions. A connective tissue graft removed from the palate and over which a pedicle flap is sutured, is used in these procedures. The advantages of these new procedures are: 1) sure predictability of graft survival to which a double-blood supply is guaranteed; 2) primary intention healing at the donor site, with minimum post-operative discomfort; 3) excellent esthetic results consisting of better color blending between graft and adjacent tissues and absence of keloid- like scars, very common after free gingival grafts.

Cooperative effect of exogenous heparin-like compounds and secreted glucocorticoid-induced inhibitor on plasminogen activator in 3T3 cell cultures.

Balb/c 3T3 cultures grown in the absence of serum release both plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor in the culture medium. Cellular transformation with SV-40 virus increased the level of the activator, whereas dexamethasone increased the level of the inhibitor. Heparin added to the medium potentiated the glucocorticoid-induced inhibitory activity, strongly decreasing or completely abolishing the activity of plasminogen activator. Heparin sulfate showed similar effects to heparin, although at higher concentrations. It is suggested that heparin-like compounds are involved in the regulation of plasminogen activator, acting as inhibitory cofactors.
