Effects of thyroxine on methionine adenosyltransferase activity in rat cerebral cortex and cerebellum during postnatal development.
Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) activity was evaluated in cerebral cortex and cerebellum in controls and in rats treated with thyroxine. In controls the enzyme showed a different pattern in cerebral cortex and cerebellum during neonatal and late suckling periods. Hyperthyroid rats showed a significant increase of the enzyme in cerebral cortex only at the 2nd day of the neonatal period; in cerebellum the developmental pattern of MAT in neonatal period was anticipated temporally by 2-4 days. During the late suckling period thyroxine treatment produced in cerebellum a significant decrease in MAT activity at the 15th day after birth. From these data, we propose that hyperthyroidism may cause precocious induction of MAT both in cerebral cortex and in cerebellum and that the increased availability of S-adenosyl-L-methionine during the neonatal period could be related to its utilization also in polyamine biosynthesis.

[Ileum-colon junction benign obstructions].
The Authors discuss on anatomical and functional characteristics of ileum-colon junction, physiological narrowing in alimentary tract and often involved in benign obstruction. They report their series and analyze all inflammatory or not inflammatory diseases potentially involved, by describing them shortly and giving some information about their clinical features and imaging. The treatment of this obstruction will be done as soon as possible, before wall lesions force to make a larger resection.

[Sedation with propofol in COPD patients in the ICU].
Sedation with propofol was achieved in 10 patients with COPD admitted into ICU because of acute respiratory insufficiency. Propofol dosage was 1-3 mg/kg-1/h and the testing period 30-144 h. Curarization was non required. Sedation with propofol, valued by means of Ramsay Score, was suitable in all tested patients. Bio-humoral and instrumental monitoring have not evidenced side effects.

Brain metastases: surgical versus conservative treatment.
A comparative study on surgical versus conservative brain metastases treatment has been carried out. Patients have been divided in seven groups by means of treatment modalities. Follow-up, has been carried out taking into consideration mean survival time and quality life in particular, evaluated by means of Order's classes. Anaesthesiological management problems were discussed also. From data analysis, it follows that untreated patients, (group 1) had a lower mean survival time than that of the other patients. Thirty days after first evaluation, 85% of these patients had a very poor quality life. Patients who underwent surgery associated to radio and chemotherapy (group 2) have had better recovery of functional autonomy and longest mean survival time. Among these, thirty days after treatment only 3% had a very poor quality life, while 67% had the better quality life. Patients who underwent others treatment modalities had intermediate results.
