Pycnogenol® as an Adjunct in the Management of Childhood Asthma

A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study involving 60 subjects, aged 6-18 years old, was conducted over a period of 3 months to determine the effect of Pycnogenol® (a proprietary mixture of water-soluble bioflavonoids extracted from French maritime pine) on mild-to-moderate asthma. After baseline evaluation, subjects were randomized into two groups to receive either Pycnogenol® or placebo. Subjects were instructed to record their peak expiratory flow with an Assess® Peak Flow Meter each evening. At the same time, symptoms, daily use of rescue inhalers (albuterol), and any changes in oral medications were also recorded. Urine samples were obtained from the subjects at the end of the run-in period, and at 1-, 2-, and 3-month visits. Urinary leukotriene C₄/D₄/E₄ was measured by an enzyme immunoassay. Compared with subjects taking placebo, the group who took Pycnogenol® had significantly more improvement in pulmonary functions and asthma symptoms. The Pycnogenol® group was able to reduce or discontinue their use of rescue inhalers more often than the placebo group. There was also a significant reduction of urinary leukotrienes in the Pycnogenol® group. The results of this study demonstrate the efficacy of Pycnogenol® as an adjunct in the management of mild-to-moderate childhood asthma.     

Efficacy of botulinum toxin injection before pneumatic dilatation in patients with idiopathic achalasia

Graded pneumatic dilatation (PD) is an appropriate long-term therapy and botulinum toxin injection (BT) is a relatively short-term therapy in idiopathic achalasia. Their combination has not been previously scrutinized. This study aimed to evaluate the role of BT in enhancing the efficacy of PD with 30 mm balloons. Patients who underwent PD with 30 mm balloons after botulinum toxin injections and a group of age- and sex-matched controls who were treated only with PD were enrolled in the study. Symptom scores were taken before, 1 month after and then every 3 months after PD. There were no significant differences between the two groups in gender, duration or severity of symptoms. One of the 12 patients in the case group relapsed 30 months after PD but the others were in remission for an average of 25.6 months. In the control group, all the patients relapsed after a mean of 12.6 months and needed a 35-mm PD. The cumulative remission rate was significantly higher in the case group compared with the control group (P < 0.01). The mean symptom score decreased by 76% in the case group (P < 0.001) and 53% in the controls (P < 0.01) at the end of the first month. Neither age, sex, nor duration or severity of symptoms were predictive of patients' responses to treatment. It seems that BT may be a meaningful enhancing factor in long-term efficacy of PD. PD with a 30 mm balloon after a BT session may resolve the need for the future higher grade PD.     

外伤性肝破裂的救治

目的 分析创伤性肝破裂外科多种干预治疗的效果。方法 总结分析1982-2002年我院收治创伤性肝破裂76例的救治方法和病死率。其中Ⅲ级以上的严重肝破裂46例(60．53％)。手术治疗56例，手术方式包括单纯修补、清创性肝切除、规则性肝切除、肝周填塞止血；非手术治疗20例。结果 手术组：治愈44例，术后并发症17例均经保守治疗治愈，死亡12例，其中术中死亡2例；非手术组：治愈12例，好转6例，2例失访。全组治愈64例，死亡12例，病死率15．8％。结论 Ⅰ-Ⅱ级单纯性外伤性肝破裂可保守治疗；手术是治疗创伤性肝破裂的主要措施，正确的手术方式，积极处理合并伤，重视综合治疗可提高救治成功率。     

Glycine transporter I inhibitor, N-methylglycine (sarcosine), added to antipsychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND: Hypofunction of N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor had been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Treatment with D-serine or glycine, endogenous full agonists of the glycine site of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, or D-cycloserine, a partial agonist, improve the symptoms of schizophrenia. N-methylglycine (sarcosine) is an endogenous antagonist of glycine transporter-1, which potentiates glycine's action on N-methyl-D-aspartate glycine site and can have beneficial effects on schizophrenia. METHODS: Thirty-eight schizophrenic patients were enrolled in a 6-week double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of sarcosine (2 g/d), which was added to their stable antipsychotic regimens. Twenty of them received risperidone. Measures of clinical efficacy and side effects were determined every other week. RESULTS: Patient who received sarcosine treatment revealed significant improvements in their positive, negative, cognitive, and general psychiatric symptoms. Similar therapeutic effects were observed when only risperidone-treated patients were analyzed. Sarcosine was well-tolerated, and no significant side effect was noted. CONCLUSIONS: Sarcosine treatment can benefit schizophrenic patients treated by antipsychotics including risperidone. The significant improvement with the sarcosine further supports the hypothesis of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor hypofunction in schizophrenia. Glycine transporter-1 is a novel target for the pharmacotherapy to enhance N-methyl-D-aspartate function.

The Rigiflex TTS: A New Method to Dilate Benign Esophageal Stenosis

Abstract: This paper dicusses the use of esophageal dilatation with a Rigiflex TTS balloon. This method was used 45 times on 11 patients affected by anastomotic or a severe grade peptic esophageal stenosis. Fluoroscopic guidance was used in 36 procedures (80%) without effecting the mean duration of the treatment (12 minutes). The results were considered satisfactory when these goals had been achieved: a) dilatation of the stenosis over 15 mm; b) a dysphagia free-time of more than 6 months. A satisfactory result was achieved in 10 patients (90.9%), without deaths and major complications. 5 patients received 1 dilatation and the other 5 needed, 3-3-4-7–11 procedures respectively to obtain a satisfactory result. On these basis we consider that its great efficacy, security and tolerability depend on the following characteristics of the Rigiflex TTS balloon: 1) “radial” dilatation; 2) the possibility of introducing the balloon through the operative channel of the fiberscope; 3) direct visualization of the stenosis during dilatation. The following disadvantages with this method are: the absence of a tactile sensation of dilatation and the elevated cost of the instrument. We conclude that the Rigiflex TTS balloon is an important alternative to guide-wire techniques, especially for the treatment of severe esophageal strictures.

Treatment of iatrogenic biliary obstruction by balloon dilatation of a biliary jejunal fistula

Biliary obstruction and multiple hepatic abscesses occurred in a patient after ligation of a segmental branch of the right hepatic duct. The patient was successfully managed by transhepatic biliary drainage and balloon dilatation of an internal fistula that developed between the ligated duct and a Roux limb of jejunum. Internal biliary fistulas may be dilated using interventioanl radiologic techniques to permit nonobstructed bile flow. Implications for the nonsurgical treatment' of biliary strictures are discussed.
