Effects of atorvastatin on arterial endothelial function in coronary bypass surgery

Objective: Endothelial dysfunction represents a critical early component of organ injury following cardiopulmonary bypass. Recent studies demonstrate that the treatment with atorvastatin is associated with a significant improvement of endothelial function independently of its efficacy on cholesterol levels. Therefore, we investigated the effects of preoperative atorvastatin treatment on endothelium function after coronary surgery. Methods: Forty patients undergoing coronary surgery were randomized to treatment with atorvastatin (20 mg/die; N = 20) or placebo (N = 20) 3 weeks before surgery. Twenty normal patients served as control group. The flow-mediated dilations (FMD) of the brachial artery after both reactive hyperemia (endothelium dependent) and nitroglycerin administration (endothelium independent) were evaluated at baseline, at 48 h, and 5 days postoperatively. Results: At baseline, the endothelium-dependent FMD was significantly attenuated in coronary versus normal patients (normal 10.3 ± 1.8% vs coronary 4.1 ± 1.6%, p < 0.01). At 48 h postoperatively all patients exhibited a reduced FMD compared with baseline values: the endothelium-dependent dilatation showed a drop of 60.1 + 15% in the patients of the placebo group compared with 45.8 + 16.6% (p < 0.05) those in the atorvastatin group. At the univariate analysis, no significant correlation was found between serum levels of either total cholesterol or HDL cholesterol and FMD. The nitroglycerin-induced dilation was not significantly influenced by extracorporeal circulation as well as by atorvastatin treatment. Conclusions: The endothelial dysfunction following cardiopulmonary bypass is improved by the treatment with atorvastatin, by a mechanism unrelated to the drug efficacy of controlling serum cholesterol levels.

Role of aminophylline and allopurinol in the reformation of peritoneal adhesions

The role of aminophylline in the re-formation of peritoneal adhesions was considered in 23 rats. Since the adhesions were obtained, the animals were subsequently divided into three groups, the first one containing seven units, the others containing eight animals each. During the four days prior the surgery, allopurinol at the dose of 50 mg/kg/die was added to the regular ground laboratory chow in the animals of the second group; aminophylline at the dose of 40 mg/kg/die was administered four hours and immediately prior the surgery, to the animals of the third group. The adhesions that we observed, were graded and evaluated assigning them a score. At the moment of the lysis of adhesions, we observed the score of 2.71 +/- 1.11 in the first group, 3.12 +/- 1.13 in the second group, and 2.75 +/- 1.03 in the third one. Matching each group one another no statistically significant difference was found. At the end the experiment, we observed a score of 3.71 +/- 0.49 for the adhesions in the first group, 2 +/- 0.75 in the second group, and 3.87 +/- 0.35 in the third one. Matching these scores with those observed at the moment of their lysis, they appeared significantly higher in the animals of the first group (p less than 0.02) and of the third group (p less than 0.05), but they were lower in the second group (p less than 0.05). Such results indicate that the re-formation of peritoneal adhesions following their lysis is constant, that allopurinol decreases the intensity of the process, while aminophylline increases it.     

Fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter

The fibroepithelial polyps is a rare benign tumor, that can rise at any level of the upper urinary tracts with a major predisposition at the pyeloureteral junction. The exact etiology is not known, even if we remember that chronic irritation, stasis and infection sometimes caused by an associated calculus are important factors in the genesis of the tumor. The authors report 3 new cases with ureteral seat, of which one is associated with a calculus. This fact underlines the importance of an exact differential diagnostic with the carcinoma as well for the conservative treatment as for the prognosis which is favourable.
