Abstract
Thirty-five patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) were observed: 18 have been treated with medical therapy and 17 (48.6%) underwent to surgical treatment : 1) intolerance to the medical treatment in 5.9% (1 case); 2) local complications in 94.1% (16 cases: 6 stenosis, 2 occlusions, 3 abscesses, 3 fistulas, 1 perforation with peritonitis, 1 case toxic megacolon). The operations have been 19: resective interventions 14 (bowel and/or colon resections), conservative interventions 5. The mortality was 0, the morbidity 35,29%. The incidence of the recurrences in a follow up of 5 year was 42,9%. The Authors conclude that the surgery, indicated for the treatment of complications, can be resective surgery (perforating Crohn disease: fistulas, abscess) or conservative surgery (stenosing Crohn disease: stenosis). Recently the conservative intervention are proposed in the treatment of fistulas and abscesses too, but when the inflammation is mild and in patients that underwent to extensive intestinal resection with risk of short bowel syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistance affects the success of anti-Helicobacter pylori therapies and varies greatly from country to country. AIM To compare the efficacy of three short-term triple regimens in relation to H. pylori primary resistance in our region. METHODS We enrolled 210 H. pylori-positive dyspeptic patients for this randomized, open, parallel-group study. Three arms of 70 patients each received the following 1-week regimens: (1) ranitidine bismuth citrate 400 mg b.d. + clarithromycin 250 mg b.d. + metronidazole 500 mg b.d. (RCM); (2) bismuth subcitrate 240 mg b.d. + amoxycillin 1000 mg b.d. + metronidazole 500 mg b.d. (BAM); (3) omeprazole 20 mg o.d. + clarithromycin 250 mg b.d. + metronidazole 500 mg b.d. (OCM). H. pylori was assessed by CLO-test and histology before and 4 weeks after therapy. Antibiotic resistance was assessed by E-test. RESULTS On intention-to-treat analysis RCM was more effective than OCM (84% vs. 69%; P < 0.03) and BAM (84% vs. 63%; P < 0.004). MIC determination was successful in 117 out of 210 patients (55%); metronidazole resistance was present in 52 out of 117 patients (44%) and clarithromycin resistance was present in 17 out of 117 patients (14%). Excellent cure rates were achieved when strains were sensitive to both antibiotics (100% with RCM and BAM and 90% with OCM), whereas RCM was superior to OCM (P=0.009) and BAM (P=0.001) with respect to overall resistant strains (94% vs. 57% and 38%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS One-week RCM is the best regimen to eradicate H. pylori in our geographical area. This seems to be linked to the better ability of RCM compared to OCM and BAM in overcoming the high prevalence of H. pylori resistance to both metronidazole and clarithromycin in our region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is our habit to employ an open drainage after thyroid surgery in our department. We have also found a large number of surgical infections in these patients (5.8% vs 2.5). Aim of the study is to evaluate prospectively if contamination happens during surgical procedure or in a later time according to the presence of the open drainage. METHODS From October 1995 to November 1996, 113 patients who underwent a subtotal thyroidectomy were randomized into two groups: group A with antibiotic prophylaxis (57 patients) and group B without it (56 patients). RESULTS One case (1.7%) of sepsis among 57 patients of group A and 2 cases (3.4%) among 56 patients of group B were observed. CONCLUSIONS No statistical difference was found between the two groups despite antibiotic prophylaxis covering surgical procedure. It is personal opinion that sepsis arose after surgical procedure, due to the presence of the open drainage.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the seroprevalence of IgG and IgM specific for parvovirus B19 (B19) and its association with aplastic crisis developing in patients with different haematological disorders. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-three serum samples were evaluated, 24 from patients with aplastic crisis and 29 from others without such crises, all of them suffering from different haematological diseases diagnosed at the University Hospital of Maracaibo and the Zulia State Blood Bank, in Venezuela; 15 samples from healthy blood donors were examined as well. Indirect immunofluorescence technique was used in the study. Lymphocyte subsets were quantified in 10 of the patients with aplastic crisis by means of cytofluorometry. Serum proteins were assessed by electrophoresis in all samples. The statistical analysis was performed according to Student's t test and chi square, by applying the statix 4.0 and SAS programmes. RESULTS Positive IgG was found in 20 of the 24 patients with aplastic crisis (83.3%), 20 of the 29 without crisis (68.9%) and 7 of the 15 healthy controls (46.6%). Positive IgM was found only in 2 of the 24 patients with aplastic crisis (8.3%). Both the patients without aplastic crises and the control groups were negative for PB19 IgM. The average CD4 and CD8 T lymphocyte count and the CD4-CD8 index in the patients studied were 454 CD4 cells/microL, 1,006 CD8 cells/microL and 0.5%, significantly different from the control group, whose figures were 860 CD4 cells/microL, 546 CD8 cells/microL and 1.6%. The average B lymphocyte count of the patients (628 cells/microL) was higher than that of the control group (349 cells/microL). The average NK cell count in the patient was 174 cells/microL, slightly below the control group (221 cells/microL). Mild beta-globulin decrease was found in the electrophoretic study of the serum proteins of the patients, along with significant increase of the total protein and the gammaglobulin fraction with regard to the control group. CONCLUSIONS Higher PB19 IgG seropositivity was seen in the patients with aplastic crisis with respect to the control group, suggesting wider exposition to the virus among them with regard to the healthy population. Specific PB19 IgM was detected in 2 patients with immunodeficiency and aplastic crisis. A significant decrease of the CD4 and CD8 T-lymphocyte subsets, along with decreased CD4-CD8 quotient, were found in the aplastic crisis group, and an impairment of the immune response to the viral challenge can be inferred form this. The alterations of the serum proteins, together with the increased B lymphocytes, might suggest a polyclonal activation of these cells. The absence of other known lymphotropic viruses in most of the patients studied (50) show that the alterations found here are related to recent or past B19 infection.

Abstract
Drainage in thyroid surgery, although still controversial, is used at our service routinely, as it guarantees the output of serum, sometimes abundant after thyroidectomy, and allows the immediate check of hemorrhage. It is nevertheless known that the presence of drainage can favour the occurrence of infection of the surgical bed. Through a randomized trial, we tested the incidence of sepsis after thyroidectomy, using in one group a double open Silastic drain and in another group a double aspirative drain. We registered 3 cases of wound infection and 4 cases of seroma in the group treated with open drainage versus one case of wound infection and 2 cases of seroma in the group treated with aspirative drainage. Such difference, although evident, did not result significant. Nevertheless, it is our opinion to conclude that the aspirative draining system guarantees a better sterility of the surgical wound, and therefore a lower incidence of wound complications.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of local and distant recurrences of colorectal cancer remains difficult and there is no agreement on the effectiveness of follow-up in these patients. The aim of this study is to assess the value of our method of follow-up. We consider 239 patients with colorectal cancer and at least 2 years follow-up following radical resection. A local recurrence appeared in 26 patients (10.9%), a distant metastasis in 41 (17.1%), while in seven (2.9%) local and distant recurrences appeared simultaneously. Local recurrence was detected because of an increase in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level in 15 patients (57.7%), during a scheduled endoscopy in four (15.4%) and because of symptoms in seven (26.9%). In seven patients (26.9%) a radical resection was possible. Distant metastases were detected by CEA levels in 20 patients (48.8%), by ultrasonography (U.S.) in 12 (29.3%) and by chest X-ray in five (12.2%). In 13 of 26 patients with liver metastases a resection was performed. This study shows that few patients benefit from follow-up and only CEA levels and liver U.S. performed intensively between 15 and 36 months after surgery are useful in early detection of recurrences. A modification of the follow-up to the single patient, according to the stage, location and grading of cancer, could improve the results, so lowering the costs of this expensive practice.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Objective of this study is to establish which kind of stapled anastomosis is the most reliable in rectal surgery. 67 patients randomly assigned to three groups underwent low anterior resection of the rectum with end-to-end, side-to-end or double stapling anastomosis. Main outcome measures were incidence of leakage at the intraoperative check of the suture, postoperative leakage, stenosis, mortality, mean post-operative stay. Side-to-end anastomosis were followed by 4 intra-operative (19%) and one post-operative (4.7%) leakages with one case of mortality (4.7%). Four intra-operative (18.2%) and 5 post-operative (22.7%) leakages, 3 stenosis (13.6%) and one case of mortality (4.5%) were observed after double-stapling procedures. No intra- or post-operative anastomotic complications were seen after end-to-end anastomosis. Mean post-operative stay was 20, 31 and 13 days for the three methods respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this series of colo-rectal anastomoses, the end-to-end stapling technique appears to be safer and more reliable than others.

Abstract
A case of essential thrombocytemia treated with alpha interferon is reported, with hematological remission, but as a side effect hypertriglyceridemia is relevant. It was normalized when alpha interferon was stopped. This is the first case of essential thrombocythemia in Venezuela treated with biological modifiers, with hematological remission, but with hypertriglyceridemia as side effect.

Abstract
The paper describes the carbohydrate, lipidic and nitrogen metabolism of the postoperative period which is subdivided into an early and a late phase. Since the metabolism of caloric substrates in the early postoperative period is a stress metabolism with glucose intolerance and wide protein catabolism, the authors emphasise that an insufficient caloric intake is worse than the fasting state and suggest that alternative caloric sources, such as branched chain amino acids, fatty acids and, even, ketonic bodies, should be used.

Abstract
Computerized analysis of esophageal manometry should consider the following objectives: a) objectivation of data acquisition; b) precision in calculating the various parameters; c) speed of analysis; d) an easy-to-read and promptly understandable graphic display of the manometric data; e) computation of new parameters capable of defining normal and pathologic function. It is with these objectives in mind that we launched our research project. Five normal subjects and 10 patients, of whom 5 presented esophageal achalasia and 5 gastroesophageal reflux disease, underwent computerized esophageal manometry and were evaluated on the basis of both traditional and innovative parameters, of our own inception. Among the various indexes tested, the "Esophageal transport" parameter, calculated as the ratio of momentum (dp*dT) over speed of propagation of the esophageal contractions, gave rise to particular interest. In our opinion, this parameter can be used as an index of the dynamic function of the organ.

Abstract
Elster's classification differentiates epithelial gastric polyps on the basis of cells origin and relative tendency to change into a malignancy. Out of 3.920 endoscopy of upper digestive tract during the last 10 years, we found 41 gastric polyps, 50% asymptomatic. Endoscopic polypectomy were performed in 61% of cases, without any complication. The other 39% were followed-up and/or surgically resected, according to the results of biopsy. Endoscopy is mandatory for detection of lesions often asymptomatic and histological study of surrounding gastric mucosa. Small polyps must be treated by radical endoscopic polypectomy. If they are too big for endoscopic polypectomy, it's well advised and safer to perform periodic biopsy for hyperplastic type and a surgical resection for adenomatous ones. The detection of intestinal metaplastic or malignant changes beyond basal membrane suggests a resection both subtotal or total according to topography of the lesions. In conclusion the role of endoscopy is well defined in order to clarify histological attributes of gastric epithelial polyps and surrounding mucosal areas. More restricted is its role in the treatment of these lesions.

Abstract
Serum samples from 850 individuals from Venezuela were tested for the presence of antibodies to HTLV-III/LAV virus, the probable etiological agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). At the time of the study, none of the individuals tested had symptoms indicative of AIDS or related disorders. Viral antibodies were assayed by indirect immunofluorescence (IF) assay, using a chronically infected, HTLV-III/LAV producer cell line CEM/LAV-NIT established in our laboratory. Twenty individuals (2.5%), 8 of them (40%) female, were seropositive by IF and by confirmatory Western blotting and radioimmunoprecipitation assays. The seropositivity rate ranged from 2.4% (11 of 465) in the general healthy population, 4% (2 of 50) among patients with Chagas' disease, and up to 29.2% (7 of 24) among patients with acute malaria infection. The titers of HTLV-III/LAV antibodies ranged from 1:40 to 1:640. In addition, 2 of 36 patients with hemophilia A (5.5%) also had antibodies to HTLV-III/LAV. Two of 7 patients with acute malaria had specific antibodies both to HTLV-III/LAV and HTLV-I, as determined by IF and Western blotting. None of over 169 randomly chosen, healthy blood donors from seven major Venezuelan cities, as well as none of 99 patients with leukemia/lymphoma, had antibodies to HTLV-III/LAV. The presence of specific antibodies among various Venezuelan populations indicates that HTLV-III/LAV, or a closely related cross-reactive virus, is indigenous in Latin American subjects as was previously indicated for tropical populations of central Africa. Isolation and characterization of this virus will help to understand the origin and etiology of AIDS.

Abstract
One case of Chédiak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) in a black male child, born to a consanguineous couple from a rural village in the State of Falcón, is described. At birth the child had marked skin depigmentation and ash-gray hair. A few months later he developed an almost normal black skin color. The diagnosis of CHS was established by the presence of large peroxidase-positive granules in his leukocytes. Neutrophils showed decreased chemotaxis and lack of digestive capacity against Candida albicans. Unusual features included extreme rarity of CHS in blacks, progressive repigmentation of the skin, and an early benign evolution. A high consanguinity index in the village from which this patient originated raised the possibility of the presence of a new cluster of this disease in Venezuela.

Abstract
An assessment is made of the meaningfulness of endoscopy and histology in the diagnosis of oesophagitis via an examination of 240 endoscopies. An endoscopic diagnosis of oesophagitis was given in 69 cases. Biopsy was performed in only 44 cases. This confirmed the endoscopic diagnosis on all but one occasion. There were 1 histological and 10 endoscopic false negatives. It is suggested, therefore, that perendoscopic biopsy should always be performed to reduce false negatives in cases where oesophagitis or gastro-oesophageal reflux is suspected, or when hiatal hernia (even if asymptomatic) is present.

Abstract
A rare case of arteriovenous angiodysplasia leading to portal hypertension due to absolute hyperafflux is reported. After a note on the singularity and rarity of the case, the importance of hepatic manometric, oxymetric and fluximetric observations in diagnosis of hyperafflux is stressed. In the case described, in particular, the pre-operative hemodynamic examinations, although they did not lead to certain diagnosis, served to demonstrate the excellent perfusion capacity a histologically healthy liver can have, even in conditions of pure portal hyperafflux lasting for a long time.
