[Familial aspects of prostatic carcinoma. Personal experience and review of the literature].

The familial trend of prostate carcinoma has been highlighted by a number of important studies in which the authors underlined the increased risk that brothers and sons of patients with this disease might be affected by prostate carcinoma. These studies also underline the importance of two significant risk factors in determining the presence of disease: early onset and number of relatives already affected. In this anamnestic-type survey of two sample groups, one with prostate carcinoma and the other a control group, the authors attempt to make a general confirmation of the assertions made by other authors. Even if based on a relatively small series of patients, the results of this study are fully comparable to those reported by other authors.

[Experimental research on the effect of electro-acupuncture on reparative processes].

With a view to clarifying the mechanism whereby electroacupuncture aids teh repair of trophic ulcers, including inveterate forms resistant to ordinary treatments, reference is made to histochemical findings and histological findings in periulcerous tissues and experimental research into wound healing. Preliminary work showed that electroacupuncture improves the blood supply to ulcerous tissue and the local biochemistry, and accelerates the repair process. Experimental work also made it clear that the method, when use on alternate days with the modalities employed in clinical practice, accelerates the healing of wounds in the experimental animal.

[Electro-acupuncture and trophic ulcer].

Electroacupuncture was used in the treatment of 50 cases of tropic ulcer of the lower extremities, including 34 following phlebitis, by stimulation with a Roccia VTM apparatus at voltages and frequencies up to the patient's tolerance threshold. The needles stimulation was maintained for a maximum of 7 hr. A cure was obtained in all cases, including those where the ulcers were inveterate and resistant to routine forms of management.
