Proceedings of a NATO ASI held in Erice, Italy, April 27-May 1,
1995.
From the 19-29 May 1991 the NATO ASI Course PAsthma Treatment: A P
Multidisciplinary Approach was held in Erice, on the rocky North
West Coast of Sicily, facing the ancient Phoenician shore of the
African Continent. Sixty NATO sponsored participants arriving from
many different European Countries - Nato members and non - attended
the course. Qualified researchers from Europe and the United States
held extensive lectures, short meetings and small informal group
discussions. Erice is a magical place which draws together people
from different backgrounds and cultures under her Mediterrean
charm, recreating the ancient Greek openair discussion atmosphere.
And so, during the 10 days gathering, the extensive willingness of
the senior investigators and the laudable enthusiasm of the younger
participants was stimulated. All of the most recent findings in the
biology and the pharmacology of Asthma were discussed, initially
behind closed doors, to be unhurriedly continued along the alley
ways of the "Cittadella della Scienza" , in Erice's small
restaurants, and on her deserted beaches. The texts collected here
are testimony to the high quality of the investigators
contributions as well as their far reaching interests. I think that
a Director of such a Course would be adequatly satisfied by merely
considering the enthusiasm and high level involvement of every
participant. He could not have been more satisfied after having
considered the proceedings summerizing the scientific content of
the meeting.
th This volume contains selected lectures presented at the 12
International Conference on Advances in Prostaglandin, Leukotriene
and Other Bioactive Lipid Research: Basic Science and Clinical
Applications which was held in Istanbul, Turkey, on August 25-29,
2002. This meeting brought together basic and clinical scientists
for the purpose of discussing advances in bioactive lipid research
with.special attention to cancer, cardiovascular diseases,
gastrointestinal diseases and respiratory diseases. Topics covered
included: the role of leukotrienes and lipoxins in of inflammation,
the cytochrome P450 pathway, the genetics and genomics bioactive
lipids, lipid peroxidation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, isoprostanes,
receptors and inhibitors, cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways
and inhibitors, prostaglandin synthases and receptor signaling,
phospholipases and inhibitors. Sessions included plenary lectures
with expertise in particular areas, oral presentation on selected
topics and general poster sessions. J.M. Drazen (Boston, USA)
discussed anti-leukotriene treatment in asthma patients while C.
Brink (paris, France) presented the recent advances in leukotriene
receptors. The recent advances in cytochrome p450 pathway described
in the session organized by J.C. McGiff (Valhalla, NY, USA). T.
Shimizu (Tokyo, Japan) and M. Balazy (Valhalla, NY, USA) gave an
update on phospholipases and arachidonic acid peroxydation. The
editors are greatful to the Organizing, Programme and Advisory
Committees for their valuable contributions. We greatfully
acknowledge the generous financial support provided by
PharmaciaIPfizer, Fako Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Novartis
Pharmaceuticals Inc. ofthe contributors to this volume, in
particular We are also greatful to all to those who delivered their
manuscripts by or before the requested deadline.
