    Notes: This study assesses the efficacy of the intubating laryngeal mask as a ventilation device and blind intubation guide. Following induction of anaesthesia with propofol, the device was successfully inserted at the first attempt in 110/110 (100%) patients. Placement took less than 10 s in all patients. Size selection was based on nose–chin distance. Adequate ventilation was achieved in 104/110 (95%) patients. Blind tracheal intubation using an 8-mm internal diameter straight silicone cuffed tracheal tube was attempted 3 min after the administration of vecuronium. Passage of a lighted stylet through the intubating laryngeal mask was used to determine the position of the intubating laryngeal mask cuff before blind intubation. If resistance was felt during intubation, a sequence of adjusting manoeuvres was used, based on the depth at which resistance occurred. Tracheal intubation was possible in 104/104 (100%) patients. In 42 (40%) patients, no resistance was encountered and the trachea was intubated at the first attempt. Sixty-two (60%) patients required one adjusting manoeuvre. The mean (range) time taken to successful intubation, i.e. the time from disconnection of the intubating laryngeal mask from the breathing system to successful tracheal intubation, was 79 (12–315) s. Six patients with potential or known intubation problems were included in the study. The tracheas of all six patients were successfully intubated. We conclude that the intubating laryngeal mask is an effective ventilation device and intubation guide with potential for use in patients who may present difficulty in tracheal intubation.

    Notes: Theoretical relationships allow the distributed deformation due to seismic activity to be quantified on the basis of the analysis of moment tensors. We apply this method to a data set consisting of seismic events that have occurred in the past 85 yr (1908–1992) along the most important seismogenic zones of the Mediterranean region. We use the Centroid Moment Tensor (CMT) Catalog prepared at Harvard University, covering the last 16 yr, and older data from Jackson & McKenzie (1988). We determine the seismic deformation and compare it to estimates of the overall deformation as obtained from global plate motion and geological studies. We generally find that the geometry of seismic deformation is similar to tectonic predictions. Even though spanning a shorter time interval, the CMT Catalog often gives a better estimate of deformation geometry than the whole data set (85 yr). Seismic deformation generally ranges from less than 10 per cent to more than 90 per cent of the total deformation. Uncertainties arise because data sets may not be representative of the long-term seismic behaviour of each zone. More reliable estimates for comparison with geodynamic processes should result from analysis of a longer time period, for which no instrumental data are available. The similarity of the deformation geometry using CMT data with tectonic expectations suggests, for several zones, the possibility of using historical data to infer longer term deformation rates based on current deformation geometry.

    Notes: Altered visceral perception is common in functional dyspepsia (FD). Dopaminergic pathways control gastrointestinal motility, but whether they modulate visceral sensitivity is unknown.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aim:To investigate whether levosulpiride, a D2 antagonist, modulates gastric sensitivity and compliance in dyspeptic patients.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:Eight healthy subjects and 16 dyspeptic patients underwent graded gastric distensions using a tensostat. In dyspeptic patients the same isotonic distensions were repeated during either levosulpiride or saline administration. Eight FD patients were evaluated after 4-week treatment with oral levosulpiride. Gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated using a 100 mm visual analogue score. Perception was scored on a scale of 0 to 6.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:Although healthy subjects and FD patients had similar gastric compliance, FD patients tolerated lower tension levels. At the same distending tension levels, levosulpiride decreased gastric compliance and perception score (14 ± 6% and 38 ± 10% change, respectively; P 〈 0.05 vs. saline) only in FD patients. Isotonic distensions exhibited very reproducible perception. Chronic levosulpiride administration significantly reduced dyspeptic symptoms and increased discomfort threshold.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions:Compared with healthy subjects, FD patients show marked gastric hypersensitivity. In FD patients levosulpiride decreased the perception of gastric distension with an action unrelated to change of gastric tone. Chronic levosulpiride administration significantly ameliorates gastrointestinal symptoms and increases the discomfort threshold.

    Notes: Margination of circulating neutrophils (PMN) into the gastric microcirculation is an early and critical event in the pathogenesis of non-steroidal antinflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gastropathy. This effect is mediated through the upregulation of β2 integrins on the PMN surface.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aims:To investigate whether indomethacin modulates: (1) Mac-1 expression; (2) Ca2+ mobilization ([Ca2+]i), protein kinase C and nitric oxide accumulation; and (3) mitogen-associated protein kinase phosphorylation in human PMN.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:Human PMN were isolated by centrifugation through a double Ficoll gradient. [Ca2+]i was measured in PMN loaded with fura-2 and Mac-1 expression by flow cytometry.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:Indomethacin caused a concentration- and time-dependent upregulation of CD11b and CD18 expression and PMN adhesion to endothelial cells. Maximal upregulation of Mac-1 expression (40–50%) occurred after a 30-min incubation with 0.1 mM indomethacin. The effect was prevented by removing the Ca2+. Ionomycin and thapsigargin caused a 7–10-fold increase in [Ca2+]i and a 2–4-fold increase in Mac-1 expression. Indomethacin induced a concentration-dependent phosphorylation of a 41-kDa mitogen-associated protein kinase. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors prevented the effect of indomethacin on Mac-1 expression and Ca2+ mobilization. Indomethacin and ionomycin increased superoxide generation, myeloperoxidase secretion and PMN adherence to endothelial cells and stimulated nitric oxide production. Indomethacin-induced Mac-1 upregulation was prevented by a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions:Indomethacin-induced upregulation of Mac-1 is mediated by changes in [Ca2+]i and nitric oxide. Phosphorylation of the 41-kDa mitogen-associated protein isoform is a previously unreported target of NSAID action. These effects might help to explain the ability of indomethacin to cause gastric neutrophil margination.
