    Notes: Abstract Purpose:The present study was aimed at investigatingL-asparaginase (L-ASE) activity (in plasma) and L-asparagine (L-ASN) depletion(in plasma and CSF) in children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblasticleukemia (ALL) exposed for the first time to different L-ASE products. Patients and methods:During the induction treatment of the AIEOPALL 95 study, 62 patients were treated with either Erwinase® (n=15), or E. colimedac® (n= 47) L-ASE products, giveneither i.m. or i.v., at the standard dosage of 10,000 IU/m2, q 3days × 8 (first exposure). Results:Plasma and CSF L-ASN trough levels were undetectable inall cases, including those with L-ASE trough activity 〈50 mU/ml. L-ASEtrough activity during the administration of medac® was howeversignificantly higher when compared with that of Erwinase®. Conclusions:L-ASN depletion after a first exposure to standarddoses of Erwinase® or medac® is obtained in virtually all patients.No differences are seen between the I.M. or I.V. administration routes but themedac® product is associated with a significantly higher enzyme activityin respect of Erwinase®. L-ASN levels may be undetectable also in patientswith L-ASE trough activity levels 〈50 mU/ml, challenging the currentopinion that an activity level of 100 mU/ml is needed to obtain L-ASNdepletion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sammario Scopo della presente ricerca è la raccolta di dati normativi ottenuti con una nuova metodica d'analisi dell'onda d'aspettativa, delle sue principali componenti (complesso CNV) e del tempo di reazione motorio (RT) in due gruppi si soggetti normali, adulti ed in età presenile. In 20 soggetti sani (rispettivamente 10 con età media di 28.3 e 10 di 59.6 anni) per evocare il complesso CNV/RT si è adottato un parametro standard di stimolazione molto semplice ed idoneo anche per pazienti con deterioramento mentale: S1 (click)—2 sec d'intervallo —S2 (stimolo visivo)—risposta motoria con RT. Si è derivata l'attività di tipo CNV da regioni frontali, centrali e parietali. In confronto ai soggetti più giovani, modificazioni significative di alcune componenti della CNV si sono rilevate nel gruppo di soggetti in età presenile senza apparente declino delle performances comportamentali e cognitive. Tali modificazioni appaiono indicative delle fasi iniziali dei processi involutivi encefalici fisiologici associati a minimi e sublinici deficit delle risposte d'orientamento, attenzione, concentrazione, memoria a breve termine, capacità di preparazione alle risposte motorie sollecitate da S2. Vengono discusse le implicazioni cliniche ed in particolare l'importanza diagnostica di questo tipo di indagini nel riconoscimento dei primi stadi nel presenium dell'involuzione fisiologica o patologica dell'encefalo.
    Notes: Abstract 20 selected right-handed very healthy subjects (10 young adults and 10 presenile subjects mean age 28.3 and 59.6) were tested for CNV activity with a simple warned reaction time (RT) paradigm. EEG and CNV components (post-S1, N1, P2, P3; early CNV; N1200 late CNV; CNV resolution) were recorded from Fz, C3, Cz, C4, P3, Pz, and P4, referenced to linked mastoid electrodes. EOG, RT and stimuli were also recorded. The presenile group differed significanty from the younger group in the auditory post-S1 N1 and P3, and in the early (O-wave) and late (P-wave) CNV complex components. A progressive amplitude reduction only in frontal leads between O-wave and P-wave with the lowest point being reached in the P-wave was characteristic in the presenile group. Further, presenile subjects showed relatively flat CNV waveshapes of low amplitude and, as a whole, performed a little less well than young persons. This finding suggests that the statistically significant changes in post-S1 EPRs and CNV activity recorded in our presenile subjects, without appreciable deficits in behavioral and mental performance, could be alerting signs of early brain involutional processes related to minimal and subclinical decrement of orienting, attentiveness and response preparation capabilities. If such is the case and it could be confirmed in a larger sample of very healthy subjects, these age-related changes in the presenium could be of considerable practical importance for clinical and research applications.
