in the Urology Department of Sismanogleio Hospital.
By
addressing these patients, and also the experience which I gained
from my regular stay in specialized centers in Europe, enabled
me to gain clinical and surgical comfort, and get familiar with
extracorporeal lithotripsy and endoscopic surgeries.

as Andrology, urinary stones, prostate disorders clinic where
performed Transrectal Ultrasound guided biopsies and prostate
surgery incontinence and also operates complete urodynamic testing.
It
also
works
endoscopic
operations
where
performed
cystoscopies, urethroscopies as well as small endoscopic and open
surgery (bladder biopsies, circumcision, etc.) which are kept in the
day care unit. Even handled the urological cases hospitalized in
different wards of the hospital and performed scheduled and

Research program "Kapodistrias". 2005-2006, 2006-2007 and

Program "Kapodistrias" 70/4/8161. The purpose of this research
proposal is to investigate the presence of differences between
sensitive and multi-resistant strains of E.coli is the most common
pathogen in community. To date, studies of the in vitro effect of 20
strains of Escherichia coli, 10 sensitive and 10 resistant for human
monocytes. The results can be summarized in the following: the
sensitive strains induce excretion greater concentration TNFa and IL8 compared to the multi-resistant.
It is a basic research study demonstrated the immunotherapeutic role
of intravenous administration of clarithromycin in experimental
sepsis model. In this model documented in detail the
immuno-
intrusive activity of clarithromycin in the cellular level in peripheral
blood monocytes. A research model was used as standard acute
pyelonephritis model applied the first time in literature. The
successful results of these studies have demonstrated the beneficial
effect of clarithromycin :
a) reduced mortality from septic shock
and multi-organ failure, b) a more rapid solution of pneumonia
associated with mechanical ventilation, and c) to slow the
progression of septic multi-organ failure patient.

2. "Gene
therapy
for
prostate
cancer."
Monograph.
Konstantinidis K., Chrisofos M., Athens 1998.
28
In this monograph, we tried to gather all the recent developments on
growth factors and gene therapy related to prostate cancer. The last
five years, the idea of gene involvement in the treatment of prostate
cancer became familiar and so today, we can say that it begins to bear
results to the point that they have already made their appearance in
studies in small series, so people clearing the landscape of the
previous experimental studies. Our goal with this monograph is to
inform the Greek urologist, perhaps the sole ambition to reconcile
and explain the contradictions and setbacks resulting from the
occurrence and prevalence of probable modern and imaginative on
the traditional and safe.
Monograph developed in detail all the
recent data on the prostate and then collected, recorded and explained
everything concerning growth factors and gene therapy.
The text is supplemented by references fullest, that someone would
want to deal more extensively with this issue, to be able to find and
refer quickly and easily to large and modern literature.
3. "Interferons in superficial bladder cancer". Monograph. A.
Giannopoulos, Chrisofos M., Athens 2000.
After transurethral resection of superficial cancer of the bladder,
intravesical chemotherapy and / or immunotherapy is administered in
order to reduce the number of relapses, shrink undetectable
microscopic foci; often coexist with endoscopically visible cancer
and beyond the control of random biopsies and annihilated the
dispersion installation and tumor cells during the resection of the
tumor.
29
The justification for the immunotherapeutic reinforced by the
existence of elements, features of
bladder cancer, such as cell
surface expression of neoantigens, infiltration of the urothelium in
various lymphocyte subpopulations - key mediators of the immune
response-the frequent loss of the immune response to different
antigens in the development of neoplasia. In this monograph we tried
to gather all the up to date developments on the immunotherapy of
bladder cancer with interferon, to reconcile the contradictions and
answer some of the questions that are on the intravesical
administration of these immunotherapeutic to treat this cancer. The
constantly updated understanding of the mechanism of action of
immunotherapeutic, the enriched research experience and added up
the results of biomedical applications in large clinical trials is
expected to consolidate its already strong position in the
armamentarium of the urologist for giving a battle to prevent
progression and recurrence of superficial bladder tumors.
