[Clinico-functional observations on the use of guacetisal in the treatment of chronic obstructive bronchopneumopathy]. / Osservazioni clinico-funzionali sull'impiego del guacetisal nel trattamento delle broncopneumopatie croniche ostruttive.

The results of an approximately 14-day treatment with 500 mg broncaspin capsules in 25 patients with recrudescent chronic bronchitis are presented. There was a marked, constant improvement in the subjective and objective symptomatology, and in respiratory function indices. The expectoration cell parameters displayed changes consonant with the therapeutic effect. Local and general tolerance were good overall.

[Na K ATPase changes in the erythrocyte membrane in subjects treated with inosine]. / Modificazioni della Na +K+ATPasi di membrana nelle emazie di soggetti trattati con inosina.

The effect of inosine on red cell membrane Na+K+ATPase in lead poisoning was studied in 13 subjects. In addition to enzyme damage, an appreciable increase in enzyme level was noted after 100 mg inosine i.m. for 20 days. It is felt that this form of management is useful in lead poisoning as a means of treating and preventing anaemia.
