    Notes: Abstract: The effects of ammonium ions on the release of glutamic acid from the rat cerebral cortex were measured in vivo using cortical cups and a multiple ion detection technique. The neosynthesis of this amino acid from glucose was also studied in two experimental models of hepatic encephalopathy: (1) rats receiving large amounts of ammonium acetate (i.p.) and (2) rats with a surgically constructed portocaval anastomosis. Intraperitoneal administration of 8 mmol/kg of ammonium acetate increased the cortical release of glutamic acid from 9.1.0.8 to 19.2 (nmol. cm−2. min−1). Moreover, 20 min after ammonium acetate administration the rate of incorporation of 13C2, originating from [13C]glucose, into glutamic acid increased by 65%. In several brain areas of rats bearing a portocaval anastomosis and fed ad libitum for 4 weeks, the content of glutamic acid slightly increased and the rate of formation of [13C2]glutamate from [13C]glucose approximately doubled. These results indicate that ammonium ions increase the release and the formation of glutamic acid in the brain. The resulting increased concentration of this amino acid in the extracellular spaces may be one of the mechanisms of ammonia toxicity in vivo.

    Notes: Erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, has been shown to have gastric prokinetic effects and has been proposed as an alternative therapeutic option for diabetic gastroparesis. However, its efficacy has not yet been compared with that of other prokinetic drugs.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aims:The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of erythromycin (250 mg 60 min before meals) and cisapride (10 mg 30 min before meals) on gastric emptying of healthy subjects and insulin-dependent diabetics.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Patients and methods:Six type 1 diabetic patients with a previous scintigraphic demonstration of gastroparesis and five healthy subjects were recruited for the study. Gastric emptying was scintigraphically studied by labelling the solid component of a standard test meal. Three scintigraphic studies, spaced at least 3 days apart, were carried out on each subject, basally and after erythromycin or cisapride.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:Cisapride significantly accelerated gastric emptying in both the healthy subjects and the diabetic patients without any significant effect on the lag-time, whereas erythromycin in addition to a significant improvement of the overall gastric emptying also showed a pronounced effect on the lag-time in both groups (controls 25 ± 5 vs. 37 ± 8 min, P≤0.04; diabetics 65 ± 11 vs. 112 ± 16 min, P〈0.03).〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions:Erythromycin may represent an effective therapeutic alternative to more established forms of treatment in patients with diabetic gastroparesis, especially when other drugs have failed.

    Notes: Summary The effect of the diisobutyric ester of N-methyldopamine (Ibopamine) on plasma prolactin levels was investigated in normoprolactinaemic subjects and in hyperprolactinaemic patients with prolactin-secreting tumours or idiopathic hyperprolactinaemia. In hyperprolactinaemic states oral Ibopamine 50 mg induced a significant decrease in elevated plasma prolactin (PRL) levels, 30, 60 and 90 min after administration. The peak effect occurred at 90 min when the mean PRL level was 61% of its basal values.

    Notes: Abstract Sulfur isotope analyses were made on 14 alunites from volcanic and sedimentary rocks widely different in chemistry and age from southern Tuscany and northern Latium, central Italy. The δ34S values range from +0.7 to +9.6‰, and appear not to be related to the nature of the host rock. Geological and isotopic evidence suggests that all the alunites formed by supergenic oxidation of sulfides. Sulfides occurring with alunites in the volcanic rocks of Latium can be divided into an isotopically light group of probably magmatic origin (δ34S=−1.5 to +3.4‰) and a heavy one with δ34S=+6.0 to +10.3‰, tentatively interpreted as deposited by hydrothermal fluids that leached sulfides of similar 34S/32S from the deep basement. Such an interpretation is consistent with recent studies indicating that in the perityrrhenian belt of Latium exists a continuation, at depth, of the Tuscan stratigraphic series, rich in sulfides with δ34 from +6 to +12‰.

    Notes: Abstract An outbreak ofSerratia marcescens involving 42 patients admitted to the general intensive care unit of the Hospital of Varese, Italy, occurred from March 1994 to August 1995. The causative strains were resistant to oxyimino-cephalosporins and monobactams due to their production of an extended-spectrumβ-lactamase. Another outbreak caused bySerratia marcescens strains had occurred in the same unit a few months earlier, from February to October 1993, with the strains involved producing a novel TEM-derived extended-spectrumβ-lactamase. In order to verify whether there were any relationships between isolates from the two epidemics, the strains and their enzymes were characterized. Biochemical data and gene amplification experiments showed that the isolates of the second outbreak harbored a non-conjugative plasmid of approximately 48 kb, codifying for the production of an SHV-derived extended-spectrumβ-lactamase with pI 8.2. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of total genomic DNA by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ofSerratia marcescens isolates unambiguously identified two different bacterial clones responsible for the two epidemics. Epidemiological and microbiological investigations demonstrated the long persistence ofSerratia marcescens strains and their circulation in other hospital wards, thus suggesting their possible role as a long-term reservoir for further epidemic spread.
