Spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions in an Italian region: Six years of analysis and observations

Pharmacovigilance started in Italy in 1965, and from 1987 reporting of ADRs has been mandatory. Doctors have to send the filled forms on suspected ADRs to the Local Health Districts which transmit biannually all the reports to the Health Department. In a Northern Italian Region (Veneto) spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) has been studied during the period 1988–1993. This Region contributes a substantial percentage of the total Italian reports. The total number of reports was 3700, most of these (54 per cent) coming from GPs. A great variability in the reporting rate among the 36 districts of Veneto Region (range: 0–8.8 per 10,000 inhabitants per year) and an important under-reporting have been evident. Underreporting is also emphasized by the fact that in 1993 the Veneto doctors who sent at least one report were only 2.7 per cent. On the whole about 35 per cent of reports concerned minor reactions caused by drugs which have a well known toxicological profile. Comparison between reports coming from Veneto and the UK in some cases show a similar safety profile (omeprazole and simvastatin), whereas in other cases (e.g. terfenadine, glafenine, fluoxetine) no correspondence can be found. This article reveals the limits of the actual spontaneous reporting in Italy and suggests some possible measures for improving it.     

Dihematoporphyrin ether-induced photosensitivity in laryngeal papilloma patients

Twenty-six patients with recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis received 2.5 mg/kg of Dihematoporphyrin Ether (DHE) intravenously prior to photodynamic therapy. All patients experienced some degree of photosensitivity, the only known side effect of DHE. Reported reactions included mild erythema and inflammation (88%), swelling (58%), blistering (23%), ocular discomfort (61.5%), pruritus (38%), and skin hyperpigmentation (46%). Length of sensitivity ranged from 4-17 weeks, with an average duration of 9 weeks. No long-term debilitating sequelae were noted. Degree of skin reaction mainly depended on how compliant the patient was in following precaution instructions. Although restrictive precautions were often difficult to strictly adhere to, most patients felt the potential benefits of the therapy far outweighed any inconvenience.     

Anti-inflammatory effect of β2-agonists: Inhibition of TNF-α release from human mast cells

β₂-Agonists inhibit the release of preformed mediators such as histamine and newly synthesized mediators such as prostaglandin D₂ from mast cells. However, although mast cells have been identified as an important source of several cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), there is no information about their regulation by β₂-agonists. Thus given the importance of TNF-α in inflammation and the widespread use of β₂-agonists, we investigated the effect of long-acting (salmeterol) and short-acting (salbutamol) β₂-agonists on the secretion of TNF-α from human skin mast cells. Treatment of mast cells with salmeterol or salbutamol (100 nmol/L) inhibited the IgE-dependent release of TNF-α (82% and 74%, respectively). Moreover, 2-hour treatment with salmeterol, isoproterenol, or salbutamol inhibited mast cell cytotoxicity against a TNF-α–sensitive cell line, WEHI-164, with an IC₅₀ of 71, 50, and 29 nmol/L, respectively. Specificity for β-adrenergic receptors was shown with propranolol. The inhibitory effect of β₂-agonists was observed after only 20 minutes of treatment but was lost by 24 hours after removal of salbutamol and isoproterenol (7% and 11% inhibition remaining, respectively). In contrast, the inhibition of TNF-α release was increased 1 hour after removal of salmeterol and remained significant 24 hours later. Furthermore, β₂-agonists did not show tachyphylaxis for the inhibition of TNF-α release. Thus selective β₂-agonists demonstrate anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the release of TNF-α from mast cells stimulated through their IgE receptor or by a tumor target cell. This inhibitory effect of β-agonists may be important in their mode of action in the treatment of allergic diseases. (J Allergy Clin Immunol 1997;100:825-31.)

Supercritical fluids in medical radioisotope processing and chemistry,Part II: Applications – real and demonstrated

In Part I of this review series, an overview was presented on what the basic properties of supercritical fluids are and how they can, and are being used in many of today's industries as solvents for extraction, chromatography and reaction. A good part of this overview detailed the kinds of equipment needed, and techniques on how to use them for optimal performance. Part II of this series will delve into specific applications of supercritical fluid technology as it relates to aspects of medical isotope processing. The reader will note that very few applications of this technology to Nuclear Medicine have been published. Many potential applications cited within the context of this review derive from preliminary studies carried out in the author's laboratory. These examples are presented to spark interest in future developments of this nature. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Prostaglandin D2 measurement in nasal secretions is not a reliable marker for mast cell activation in atopic patients

Background Prosia gland in D2 (PGD2) is a very important mast cell product during the early-phase nasal allergic reaction. However, the quantification of PGD2 in nasal secretions has not yet been well established. Objective Quantitative determination of PGD2 in nasal secretions of atopic patients (n=17) after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) and in non-allergic healthy volunteers (n=10). Methods The nasal microsuction sampling technique was used to obtain the nasal secretions with an exactly known and minimally diluted volume. A sensitive and specific enzyme immunoassay was chosen to measure the more stable 11-methoxime derivative of PGD2. which was obtained after extraction in acelone/ethanol and conversion using methoxamine-HCl. The concentrations of PGD2 in nasal secretions obtained from 10 non-allergic healthy volunteers were used as reference values. Results There was no significant difference in the concentrations of PGD2 between men (median: 569pg/mL) and women (median: 407pg/mL), nor between the baseline concentrations from atopic patients (median: 410pg/mL) and non-allergic controls (median: 477 pg/mL). In the atopic patient group, PGD2 did not significantly increase during the entire sampling period after NAC. The absence of PGD2 response contrasted with the nasal symptoms manifested by sneezing, increased nasal airway resistance, and the significant increases of the concentrations of histamine, tryptase, and leukotriene C4 (LTC4) 5min after NAC. Conclusion This observation suggests that the measurement of PGD2 alone in the nasal secretions does not give reliable information on mast cell activation during a nasal allergic reaction.     

Personal relationships with an intelligent interactive telephone health behavior advisor system: a multimethod study using surveys and ethnographic interviews

The burgeoning of consumer health informatics and virtual health care can help people improve their health. However, little is known about individuals' reactions to such systems. We conducted an evaluation of the telephone-linked care (TLC) system, a computer-based telecommunications system, that functions as an at home monitor, educator, and counselor for patients with chronic health conditions. Our multimethod assessment of individuals' reactions to using TLC included both quantitative and qualitative methods. Ethnographic in-depth open-ended interviews indicated more subtle and surprising reactions to TLC than the overall positive responses from surveys: individuals formed personal relationships with this technology. This relationship formation suggests that TLC designers may have been successful in their attempts to emulate a conversation with a human being. Our study adds to evidence that technology can serve as a projective device for peoples' values and psychological issues. Both designers and users project values and goals onto computer-based technologies and take on different identities through it. Different groups of users, therefore, may see the same technology differently. People also form relationships with technologies, as they did with TLC. These findings, as well as implications for system design and health outcomes, need to be explored in additional studies.
