[Plethysmographic researches on the beginning and duration of the pharmacological action of an isosorbide dinitrate drugs with prolonged action (author's transl)].

Taking into consideration a previous work, where we experimented the pharmacological action of different products of nitrite retard and from which resulted the absolute superiority of isosorbide dinitrate, we considered interesting to repeat the experimentation with a new form of isosorbide dinitrate characterized by an action duration more prolonged in the time owing to the particular freeing of the active principle. In 20 patients free from peripheral vasculopathy it was enregistered the rheogram with derivation back-feet-big toe in base condition and at 1st, 3rd, 5th and 10th hour from the administration of Nitrosorbide Retard 20 mg. The product action, put in evidence by the appearance of the typical pulse by nitrite, begins the first hour, it reaches the maximum at the 5th hour on average and it clearly lasts until the 10th hour. Therefore it is demonstrated the practical usefulness of this product in the daily clinical medicine considered its characteristics of action rapidity, duration and steadfastness.

Buerger's disease: is it a rickettsiosis?

A serologic study using the direct seroagglutinate method described by Babudieri and Zardi was carried out in 31 patients affected by Buerger's disease, to determine the positive antibody reaction level against rickettsial disease. In 41.9% of the cases there was a positive test for R. burnetii, in 6.4% a positive test for R. mooserii, and in one a positive test for R. conorii. The results lead us to believe that these pathogenic agents are largely responsible for the development of thromboangiitis obliterans.

[Does hypertension improve the prognosis in peripheral arterial disease?].

After an introduction about the importance or not of arterial hypertension as a risk factor arteriosclerosis of the lower limbs, wer report on a group of 193 patients affected by peripheral arteriopathy, divided for different class of systemic arterial pressure. We verified that the clinical development of the disease is better in the hypertensive subjects and in particular in the moderately hypertensive subjects (between 150 and 170 mmHg). It coincides with the clinical impression by which this research is born.

[Changes in some plasma parameters in the course of dextran 40].

Changes in certainplasma parameters (Hc, arterial and venous VP, creatinine clearance, potassium, PA and FC) induced by Dextran 40 perfusions (500 ml at 40 drops/min and 250 ml at 20 drops/min) were examined in 50 patients. The expander effect was more intense, though less protracted when the larger quantity was used. A rebound effect 24 hr after the test was also more frequent percentage-wise in this group. Significant changes in Hc were not observed for 24 hr and 96 hr respectively with the higher and the lower dose. The venous district was primarily concerned. There were also increases in blood potassium, FC and max PA, while min PA and blood proteins fell. No relation could be demonstrated between creatinine clearance and diuresis at the end of the test with respect to the amount of Dextran employed. None of these latter modifications was significant. There were no signs of intolerance.
