[Antihistaminics in pediatric age].

Histamine determines a variety of physiologic and pathologic responses in different tissues and cells and it is an important chemical mediator on inflammation in allergic disease. Therefore the H1-receptor antagonist are among the most widely used medications in the world. We review here the molecular basis of their action and their clinical pharmacology, efficacy in allergic disorders and adverse reaction with a particular attention in children. We will also underline the different role of first generation H1-receptor, relatively sedating, and the second generation H1-receptor antagonist, relatively non-sedating.

[Sensitization and allergic pathology in a group of workers employed in insect breeding for biological pest control].

On the basis of the results of a previous study and immuno-allergological tests, a group of workers employed in breeding insects for biological pest control were studied to ascertain whether any new sensitizations to arthropods recently included in the work cycle occurred and whether any new allergic diseases were observed. The results confirmed a high sensitization to Ephestia kuehniella and to Orius, the latter probably due to contamination; sensitization to Tetranicus urticae and to Planococcus citri were observed, although to a lesser degree. It is concluded that the insects used in biological pest control are highly allergogenic and that the protective devices used up to the present were ineffective; the authors therefore recommend the use of closed or semi-closed cycles along with local ventilation equipment.

[Neuropeptides and asthma].

Authors underline the neuropeptides function in the arising of the allergic modulation: the relationship between eNANC-iNANC systems, their mediators and the production of cytokines and immunoglobulins. The above demonstrates that the peptidergic system has a primary role in the complex pathogenetic mechanism of the allergic asthma.

[Morris syndrome: clinical contribution].

Authors describe the case of newborn babygirl they observed, presenting a strict vaginal ostium with inguinal testicles, also showed on the echography. The karyotype 46xy allowed to define this case as Morris syndrome.
