“…The statistical analysis of our database comprising 29 patients treated in our hospital revealed that there were 25 women (86.2%) and only 4 men (13.8%), with a female to male ratio of 6.1:1, with a mean age of 54.93 years - Table 1. More than a half (51.72%) were aged between 40 and 60, over one third (37.93%) between 60 and 80 and only 10.34% were aged under 40, similar results being reported in a study performed in Argentina (14). 37.93% 11 As many authors consider, the main symptoms are flank pain and fever.…”

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is characterized by the presence of lipidladen foamy macrophages with both acute and chronic phase inflammatory cells. The aim of the study is to present our experience about patients with Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. 29 patients were evaluated through a complete anamnesis and the preoperative management included routine blood and biochemical tests, urine culture and renal ultrasound, intravenous urography and computed tomography (CT). All patients underwent open nephrectomy followed by the pathological exam. The main symptoms of these patients were fever and flank pain. Preoperative laboratory tests revealed anemia, leukocytosis and increasing levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine. Kidney failure was noticed in almost half of the cases. This study succeeded to evaluate the demographic, clinical, biological, surgical and histological characteristics. A pathological diagnosis is mandatory mainly for the evaluation of its coexistence with renal carcinoma.

The main objective of this analysis is to evaluate the impact of lung cancer and diabetes association on cancer treatment and outcome of lung cancer patients. Lung cancer, as well as diabetes mellitus, are two diseases with very high prevalence. Lung cancer, despite the improvement in diagnosis and therapeutic methods, is still the 1st cause of cancer-related deaths. The influence of diabetes on cancer patients survival is well established among patients with hepatic, pancreatic or breast cancer. Diabetes implication on lung cancer outcome is not well known. Several studies reported a negative impact, whereas other studies reported a better prognosis for these patients. Our study took place in the Oncology Department of the Clinical Emergency Hospital of Constanta, Romania. 80 patients with diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer were elected to participate in this study; 29 patients had also diabetes. Selected patients were divided in 2 groups, one group of lung cancer and diabetes, and one group without diabetes. Features of the patients among both groups were analyzed. Our study showed that preexisting diabetes is an unfavorable factor, and has influence on lung cancer prognosis, treatment adhesion and quality of life. To amend the outcome of patients with lung cancer, a better evaluation of patients� co-morbidities, including diabetes mellitus, is required.

A coated wire calcium selective microelectrode for biological use was developed, comprising a PVC selective matrix containing calcium ionophore IV coated on copper wire, previously covered with a solid-state contact mixture. The obtained calcium microsensor presented a Nernstian answer in a concentration range of 10-1 to 10-6 mol/L. The selectivity coefficients over the main interfering ions of biological interest proved that the calcium microelectrode is highly selective. Also, the response time (6s) and repeatability have been determined. The pH variation did not significantly modify the calcium microelectrode answer, being stable over the pH range (6.7-7.3) of interest. The obtained calcium microelectrode is simple, inexpensive and able to give reliable electrochemical response, recommending itself as a solution for assessing the level of inorganic ions of the gingival crevicular fluid and saliva.
