AIM： To compare two different daily doses of lansoprazole given for 12 weeks and to assess the role of gastrointestinal （GI） investigations as criteria for selecting patients. METHODS： Out of 45 patients referred for unexplained chronic persistent cough, 36 had at least one of the GI investigations （endoscopy, 24-h esophageal pH- metry and a 4-week trial of proton pump inhibitor （PPI） therapy） positive and were randomly assigned to receive either 30 mg lansoprazole o.d. or 30 mg lansoprazole b.i.d, for 12 weeks. Symptoms were evaluated at baseline （visit 1） after the PPI test （visit 2） and after the 12-week lansoprazole treatment period （visit 3）. RESULTS： Thirty-five patients completed the study protocol. Twenty-one patients （60.0%） reported complete relief from their cough with no difference between the two treatment groups （58.8% and 61.1% had no cough in 30 mg lansoprazole and 60 mg lansoprazole groups, respectively）. More than 80% of the patients who had complete relief from their cough at the end of the treatment showed a positive response to the PPI test. CONCLUSION： Twelve weeks of lansoprazole treatment even at a standard daily dose, is effective in patients with chronic persistent cough. A positive response to an initial PPI test seems to be the best criterion for selecting patients who respond to therapy.

Inflammatory events occurring in the distal part of an injured peripheral nerve have, nowadays, a great resonance. Investigating the timing of action of the several cytokines in the important stages of Wallerian degeneration helps to understand the regenerative process and design pharmacologic intervention that promotes and expedites recovery. The complex and synergistic action of inflammatory cytokines finally promotes axonal regeneration. Cytokines can be divided into pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines that upregulate and downregulate, respectively, the production of inflammatory mediators. While pro-inflammatory cytokines are expressed in the first phase of Wallerian degeneration and promote the recruitment of macrophages, anti-inflammatory cytokines are expressed after this recruitment and downregulate the production of all cytokines, thus determining the end of the process. In this review, we describe the major inflammatory cytokines involved in Wallerian degeneration and the early phases of nerve regeneration. In particular, we focus on interleukin-1, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-β, interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-β.

Objective： To analyze the correlations among comorbidity and overall survival （OS）, biochemical progression-free survival （b-PFS） and toxicity in elderly patients with localized prostate cancer treated with 125I brachytherapy. Methods： Elderly men, aged ≥65 years, with low-intermediate risk prostate cancer, were treated with permanent 125I brachytherapy as monotherapy. Comorbidity data were obtained from medical reports using age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index （a-CCI）. The patients were categorized into two age groups （〈75 and 〉75 years old）, and two comorbidity score groups （a-CCI ≤3 and 〉3）. Toxicity was scored with Radiation Therapy Oncology Group （RTOG） scale. Results： From June 2003 to October 2009, a total of 92 elderly patients underwent prostate brachytherapy, including 57 men （62%） with low-risk prostate cancer, and 35 men （38%） with intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The median age of patients was 75 years （range, 65-87 years）. Forty-seven patients （51%） bad a-CCI _〈3 and 45 patients （49%） a-CCI 〉3. With a median follow-up period of 56 months （range, 24-103 months）, the 5-year actuarial OS and b-PFS were 91.3% and 92.4% respectively, without statistical significance between two Charlson score groups. Toxicity was mild. None of the patients experienced gastrointestinal （GI） toxicity, and only 4 patiens （4%） experienced late genitourinary （GU） grade-3 （G3） toxicity. No correlation between acute GU and GI toxicity and eomorbidity was showed （P=0.50 and P=0.70, respectively）. Conclusions： Our data suggest that elderly men with low-intermediate risk prostate cancer and comorbidity can be considered for a radical treatment as 12Sl low-dose rate brachytherapy.

AIM： To verify the validity of the International Ascites Club guidelines for treatment of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis （SBP） in clinical practice. METHODS： All SBP episodes occurring in a group of consecutive cirrhotics were managed accordingly and included in the study. SBP was diagnosed when the ascitic fluid polymorphonuclear （PIN） cell count was 〉 250 cells/mm^3, and empirically treated with cefotaxime. RESULTS： Thirty-eight SBP episodes occurred in 32 cirrhotics （22 men/20 women; mean age： 58.6 ＋ 22.2 years）. Prevalence of SBP, in our population, was 27%. Ascitic fluid culture was positive in nine （24%） cases only. Eleven episodes were nosocomial and 71% community-acquired. Treatment with cefotaxime was successful in 59% of cases, while 41% of episodes required a modification of the initial antibiotic therapy because of a less-than 25% decrease in ascitic PMN count at 48 h. Change of antibiotic therapy led to the resolution of infection in 87% of episodes. Among the cases with positive culture, the initial antibiotic therapy with cefotaxime failed at a percentage （44%） similar to that of the whole series. In these cases, the isolated organisms were either resistant or with an inherent insufficient susceptibility to cefotaxime. CONCLUSION： In clinical practice, ascitic PMN count is a valid tool for starting a prompt antibiotic treatment andevaluating its efficacy. The initial treatment with cefotaxime failed more frequently than expected. An increase in healthcare-related infections with antibiotic-resistant pathogens may explain this finding. A different first-line antibiotic treatment should be investigated.

AIM： To evaluate the accuracy of automated blood cell counters for ascitic polymorphonuclear （PMN） determination for：（1） diagnosis, （2） efficacy of the ongoing antibiotic therapy, and （3） resolution of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis （SBP）. METHODS： One hundred and twelve ascitic fluid samples were collected from 52 consecutive cirrhotic patients, 16 of them with SBP. The agreement between the manual and the automated method for PMN count was assessed. The sensitivity/specificity and the positive/negative predictive value of the automated blood cell counter were also calculated by considering the manual method as the ＂gold standard＂ RESULTS： The mean ＋ SD of the difference between manual and automated measurements was 7.8 4- 58 cells/ram3, while the limits of agreement were ＋124 cells/mm3 [95% confidence interval （CI）：＋145 to ＋103] and -108 cells/mm3 （95% CI： -87 to -129）. The automated cell counter had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 97.7% in diagnosing SBP, and a sensitivity of 91% and a specificity of 100% for the efficacy of the ongoing antibiotic therapy. The two methods showed a complete agreement for the resolution of infection. CONCLUSION： Automated cell counters not only have a good diagnostic accuracy, but are also very effectivein monitoring the antibiotic treatment in patients with SBP. Because of their quicker performance, they should replace the manual counting for PMN determination in the ascitic fluid of patients with SBP.

Objective To investigate the effects of different electromagnetic fields on some haematochemical parameters of circadian rhythms in Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods The study was carried out in 18 male and 18 female rats in good health conditions exposed to 50 Hz magnetic sinusoid fields at the intensity of 1000 μT, 100 μT, and 0 μT （control group） respectively, and in 18 male and 18 female rats in good health conditions exposed to 1.8 GHz electromagnetic fields at the intensity of 50 V/m, 25 V/m and 0 V/m （control group）, respectively. Following haematochemical parameters for glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol were measured. Results Different effects of electromagnetic fields on circadian rhythms of both male and female rats were observed. Different changes occurred in some haematochemical parameters for glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Exposure to different electromagnetic fields is responsible for the variations of some haematochemical parameters in rats.
