Aim of the study was to investigate the circulating plasma levels of the atrial natriuretic peptide (pANP), plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone (pA) in a group of HRS patients, compared to healthy controls.Methods: Venous blood samples were drawn at 8:00 am in 36 healthy controls and in 20 patients with HRS following liver cirrhosis for the radioimmunoassay measurement of the circulating pANP, PRA and pA levels. The mean values of each variable were compared between the two groups by the \"t\" test; linear regression analysis was used to correlate the values of pANP and PRA, pANP and pA, and PRA and pA in the two groups.Results: HRS patient presented significant (p < 0.05) higher levels of pANP, PRA and pA than controls. Significant (p < 0.001) relations were found in healthy subjects between pANP and PRA (r = -0.78), pANP and pA (r = -0.68), and PRA and pA (r = 0.71), whereas the HRS group have only a significant (p < 0.001) positive relation between pANP and PRA (r = 0.67).Conclusions: These data indicate that HRS is not due to a deficiency in circulating pANP. The elevated pANP levels in HRS may suggest a renal insensitivity to its natriuretic effects, and the derangement in the relationships and function in the atrial natriuretic peptide-renin-aldosterone system could be considered an important pathophysiologic mechanism in the hydro-electrolyte unbalance of HRS.","PeriodicalId":21382,"journal":{"name":"Rivista europea per le scienze mediche e farmacologiche = European review for medical and pharmacological sciences = Revue europeenne pour les sciences medicales et pharmacologiques","volume":"18 4","pages":"137-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20124196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This rare type of migraine has an unknown etiology, it seems to depend on a decreases of cerebral blood flow originative on the occipital lobe, over the subsequentially spreading anteriory region temporal and parietal lobe. The hypoperfusion with the next following neural ischemia is related to the variation of blood flow and/or \"the spreading depression\" supported by Leao and Olesen recently.

In some cases we looked for bacterial antigens in urine. 20% of children had complications and 10% had sequelae (1 years of follow-up). We didn't have any dead.

The cultures of the throat swabs and on urines were performed on the admission of the children before the beginning of the therapy.Results: The throat-swab cultures showed pathogenous microrganisms in 232 samples (85.9%) with a slight prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria (122) with respect to Gram-positive (110) and saprophytic microbial flora (38). The urine cultures proved to be positive in 81 cases (30%) with a prevalence of Gram-negative (56) above Gram-positive isolates (25).Conclusions: The two/thirds of paediatric patients hospitalized in an Infectious Diseases Department appeared to be colonized in the upper respiratory tract, whereas in about 10% of them a marked bacteriuria was clearly evident, often in the absence of specific symptoms.

Patients were randomly divided into two groups and treated with progestin-estrogen therapy (group I, 96 patients) or with antihypertensive drugs (group II, 84 patients). Fourty-one cases in group I (42.7%) responded adequately to hormone therapy with persistent normalization of blood pressure levels; antihypertensive drugs were effective in 61 patients in group II (72.5%). The 23 unresponsive patients in group II were subsequently treated with progestin-estrogen therapy and a normalization of pressure values was achieved in 10 of these (43.5%).

The aim of this research was to evaluate the beta-cell reserve in non obese diabetic patients in relation to the metabolic control and the duration of disease. The main aim was to identify values of postprandial plasma C-peptide that can characterize the patients requiring insulin treatment. A daily profile was performed in 135 non obese diabetic patients, within 20% of their ideal body weight. The mean diurnal values (m) and the mean post-prandial increases (delta mpp) of plasma glucose (G), insulin (IRI) and C-peptide (CP) were assessed. Fourty-four patients showed good (NwD-GC: G-m = 138 +/- 3.2 mg/dl) and 91 poor metabolic control (NwD-SF: G-m = 210 +/- 4.8 mg/dl), according to the G-m lower or higher than 150 mg/dl. Beta-cell reserve (CP-delta mpp: 0.70 +/- 0.03 vs 1.39 +/- 0.04 ng/ml) and C-peptide/insulin molar ratio (CP/IRA-delta mpp: 2.36 +/- 0.06 vs 2.80 +/- 0.06) were significantly lower (p < 0.001) in NwD-SF than in NwD-GC. NwD-GC and NwD-SF were respectively divided into three subgroups, according to the duration of disease. A progressive reduction of CP-delta mpp and an increase in SF prevalence, from the first to the third decade of diabetes duration, was observed. In both NwD-Gc and NwD-SF the duration of disease inversely correlated with CP-delta mpp (NwD-GC: y = 1.59-0.019X, p < 0.001; NwD-SF: y = 1.01-0.023X, p < 0.001). The analysis of the two regression lines showed that patients with CP-delta values lower than 1.0 ng/ml require insulin treatment. In conclusion the duration of diabetes and the progressive reduction of beta-cell reserve represent the major pathogenetic factors in secondary failure.","PeriodicalId":21382,"journal":{"name":"Rivista europea per le scienze mediche e farmacologiche = European review for medical and pharmacological sciences = Revue europeenne pour les sciences medicales et pharmacologiques","volume":"18 3","pages":"95-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20158796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
