Abstract
Macrozoobenthos living around several pipelines placed at different depths and sediment types in the Western Adriatic Sea was investigated for three years after structures' deployment to detect possible effects due to their installation and presence. Three environmental habitats were considered based on the grain size (silty clay, clayey silt and sand). Samplings were taken within a radius of 100 m from the pipelines and at control sites. Multivariate and univariate analysis showed peculiarities of the three habitats due to the different sediment type, without differences between pipelines and controls inside each group. Silty clay and clayey silt communities appeared quite similar, being mainly represented by opportunistic species typical of the Adriatic coastal area. Benthic populations found at the offshore relict sand were characterized by a higher percentage of sensitive species. Independently of sediment typology, pipelines' installation seems to not affect the benthic populations that appear more influenced by environmental features.

Abstract
Twenty-four mobilized peripheral blood products from healthy donors for allogeneic transplantation were positively selected for CD34(+) cells and depleted of CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells (+/- selection) by combining clinical grade immunomagnetic methods. A sequential, "two-step" strategy combining positive selection of CD34(+) cells by use of the Isolex 300i (versions 1 and 2) device and T cell depletion (TCD) using the MaxSep device and a simultaneous, "one-step" method of CD34(+)cell selection and TCD using the Isolex 300i (software versions 1 and 2) have been investigated. Using these magnetic bead separation systems, two groups of sequential +/- selection (Isolex 300i version 1/MaxSep and Isolex 300i version 2/MaxSep) and two groups of simultaneous +/- selection (Isolex 300i versions 1 and 2) were analysed. In the sequential +/- selection, logarithms of TCD (CD3(+) cell depletion) obtained by the positive selection step had median values of 3.7 with the version 1 (n = 5) and 4.5 with version 2 software of the Isolex 300i (n = 5) (P = 0.07). Version 2 also gave a higher CD34(+) cell purity and yield than did version 1 (92% vs77%, P < 0.05 and 55% vs 34%, P = 0.3, respectively). Additional TCD obtained in the second step with the MaxSep device for the two groups had a median value of 0.9 log and 7% CD34(+)cell losses. In the simultaneous +/- selection, the Isolex 300i version 2 (n = 10) gave a median TCD of 5.1 log and version 1 (n = 4) of 4 log (P < 0.005). Higher CD34(+)cell purity and yield were also obtained with version 2 than with version 1 (97% and 76%, P < 0.005 and 57% and 39%, P = 0.07, respectively). These data indicate that simultaneous, "one-step" +/- selection in the Isolex 300i version 2 achieves a high TCD with a high CD34(+) cell purity and an acceptable CD34(+) cell yield.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze clinical outcome and significant prognostic factors for overall (OS) and time to treatment failure (TTF) in a group of 494 patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) undergoing autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Detailed records from the Grupo Español de Linfomas/Transplante Autólogo de Médula Osea Spanish Cooperative Group Database on 494 HD patients who received an ASCT between January 1984 and May 1998 were reviewed. Two hundred ninety-eight males and 196 females with a median age of 27 years (range, 1 to 63 years) received autografts while in complete remission (n = 203) or when they had sensitive disease (n = 206) or resistant disease (n = 75) at a median time of 26 months (range, 4 to 259 months) after diagnosis. Most patients received high-dose chemotherapy without radiation for conditioning (n = 443). The graft consisted of bone marrow (n = 244) or peripheral blood (n = 250). RESULTS The 100-day mortality rate was 9%. The 5-year actuarial TTF and OS rates were 45.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 39.5% to 50.5%) and 54.5% (95% CI, 48.4% to 60.6%), respectively. In multivariate analysis, the presence of active disease at transplantation, transplantation before 1992, and two or more lines of therapy before transplantation were adverse prognostic factors for outcome. Sixteen patients developed a secondary malignancy (5-year cumulative incidence of 4.3%) after transplantation. Adjuvant radiotherapy before transplantation, the use of total-body irradiation (TBI) in the conditioning regimen, and age > or = 40 years were found to be predictive factors for the development of second cancers after ASCT. CONCLUSION ASCT achieves long-term disease-free survival in HD patients. Disease status before ASCT is the most important prognostic factor for final outcome; thus, transplantation should be considered in early stages of the disease. TBI must be avoided in the conditioning regimen because of a significantly higher rate of late complications, including secondary malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The relationship between cytokine concentrations and transplant-related complications has been studied in bone marrow transplant patients. The changes in TNF-alpha, IL-1 and IL-6 concentrations after transplantation are well documented in the literature but this is not the case for IL-8. The purpose of the present study was to investigate prospectively the plasma concentration of these cytokines and their relationship to transplant-related complications. DESIGN AND METHODS Pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6 and IL-8) levels in plasma were determined in a group of 53 patients undergoing hematopoietic progenitor transplantation. Plasma samples were collected weekly from day -7 to day +35 and stored at -70 degrees C until assayed by ELISA. The major transplant-related toxicities registered were: veno-occlusive disease (VOD), acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infectious episodes, renal failure and mucositis. RESULTS In spite of the great variability of plasma cytokine profiles between the different patients, we came to various conclusions. Patients' TNF-alpha and IL-1 concentrations correlated well over time. IL-6 and IL-8 profiles were similar and correlated well with febrile episodes. In some cases, an increase in IL-6 preceded hematologic recovery. In our study, increased levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6 and especially IL-8 correlated with hepatic or renal dysfunction as evaluated by increased bilirubin and creatinine in plasma, while pulmonary complications correlated only with increased IL-6 levels. Allogeneic transplant patients had a tendency to have higher TNF-alpha concentrations than autologous transplant patients, probably because an allogeneic transplant is associated with more transplant-related toxicity. Basal disease usually had no effect on cytokine profiles. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS IL-6 and IL-8 were the only cytokines studied whose increase correlated with febrile episodes. High IL-8 values may be a useful predictor of renal dysfunction and pulmonary disease and seems to trigger off high IL-6 levels. Plasma TNF-alpha and IL-1 concentrations during the posttransplant period have not been shown to be predictive of the development of transplant-related complications, and none of the profiles was recognized to be specific for a particular complication in this study.

Abstract
TNF-alpha (Tumor necrosis factor-alpha) is involved in many immunological and inflammatory processes, and might be expected to play an important role in the development of BMT-related complications. Triple therapy (pentoxifylline, ciprofloxacin and prednisone) with known anti-TNF activity was tested in 37 patients undergoing a hematopoietic progenitor transplant (HPT). A control group of 16 patients with similar characteristics was selected among consecutive patients receiving a HTP in a neighboring center who did not receive anti-TNF prophylaxis. Major transplant-related complications were registered (VOD, acute GVHD, infectious episodes, renal failure and mucositis) and survival status. TNF plasma concentrations were determined by ELISA, and pentoxifylline plasma concentrations were determined by HPLC. Among patients treated with pentoxifylline (PTX), ciprofloxacin and steroids, no difference in the mean survival time was observed compared with the control group. The incidence of procedure-related death up to day +35 was 11% in the study group and 6% in the control group. In spite of a tendency to a lower incidence of mucositis there was a higher incidence of infections (positive blood cultures) in the study group (49%) than in the control group (16.7%) (P = 0.16). This difference achieved statistical significance in patients receiving an allogeneic HPT (P = 0.05). It is likely that the use of steroids in the early period after transplant increases infectious episodes and makes control of GVHD difficult. The combined administration of steroids with pentoxifylline and ciprofloxacin has not proved beneficial in preventing mucositis, renal failure, VOD or GVHD, or in improving patient survival.

Abstract
Neurological complications are not usually considered among the most important complications that may appear after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). We have analyzed the occurrence of neurological manifestation in 27 recipients of allogeneic BMT. Ten patients (37%) developed neurological symptoms, and 14 episodes were registered. The most frequent manifestations were due to the use of cyclosporin A or prednisone for prophylaxis or treatment of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Cerebrovascular events (infarction or hemorrhage) and CNS infections were the most severe complications: they represented 26% of cause of death in our series. In conclusion, neurological complications are frequent in these patients, and represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality.
