Behcet's disease associated with HLA-B51 and DRw52 antigens in Italians.
Thirty-eight Italian patients with Behcet's disease, all with ocular involvement, (28 complete type and ten incomplete) were typed for HLA A,B,DR, and DQ antigens. A significant increase of HLA-B51 (p less than 0.00001) and DRw52 (p = 0.045) with no significant difference between complete and incomplete syndrome was found. The involvement of B51 antigen as the main immunogenetic factor in the disease is suggested by the high value of relative risk (RR = 16.03). However, the association with the II class antigen DRw52 (RR = 2.77) cannot be easily explained as a secondary association due to linkage disequilibria with B51.

[Beta-cyclodextrin-piroxicam in the treatment of the active phase of osteoarthritic pathology].
The anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of the beta-cyclodextrin-piroxicam (beta CDP) complex was assessed in a randomized single-blind controlled parallel study vs nabumetone (NAB). Forty patients, 18 men and 22 women aged 18 to 65 and suffering from chronic osteoarthritis, were treated. Both drugs were orally administered, once a day in the morning, for 4 consecutive weeks. PI and SPID, evaluated for 24 hours following the first drug administration, showed a quicker onset of the analgesic action of beta CDP, with statistically significant differences between treatments (p less than 0.05). In the medium-term treatment, beta CDP proved to be more effective on joint swelling, spontaneous pain, pain on passive movement and functional limitation. Both treatments were well tolerated but a higher gastro-intestinal side-effect incidence was recorded in NAB group.
