摘要:

SummaryLegionella pneumophilaantibodies (serogroup 1) were measured by means of indirect immunofluorescence in sera of two groups different-aged persons: on the one hand among 729 Belgian twenty years aged soldiers and on the other hand among 290 persons more than fifty years old. In neither of these groups theLegionella pneumophilaantibodies titre reached the positivity limit: 1/256. Nevertheless with lower rates, a different prevalence is observed among both groups of people.

摘要:

SummaryA soft agar clonogenic assay for human tumor stem cells was applied forin vitroassessment of the chemotherapeutic value of both standard and experimental antineoplastic agents. Fifty-six samples of unselected human malignancies were tested and a successful oncogram, defined as a prediction of sensitivity or resistance to at least two cytostatic agents was obtained in 23 % of the cases. Partially overlapping causes of failure were 1) no colony growth 50%; 2) unevaluability of colony growth due to cell clumps 9 %; 3) not enough cells 20 %; 4) infection 7 %; and 5) enough colonies 5 %. The predictive value of the human tumor stem cell clonogenic assay (HTSCA) appeared to be excellent for resistance and fair for sensitivity. In addition, the HTSCA has been shown to be able to detect growth promotionin vitroinduced by sex hormones. To circumvent causes of failure 2) and 3), an alternative assaying procedure replacing visual counting by (3H) thymidine incorporation was developed. It was shown to be readily applicable to human tumor material.

摘要:

SummaryTwenty patients with classical or definite rheumatoid arthritis (R.A.) were treated with D penicillamine, six were withdrawn from the study between the 4th and 18th weeks of treatment: 2 for lack of improvement, 2 for thrombocytopenia and 2 for proteinuria.Fourteen patients with a good response to a 31 week long treatement and without untoward effects on renal, liver and haematological functions were selected for this study. The serum hemolytic complement (CH50), the complement components C3, C4 and C5; the serum levels of immunoglobulins IgA, IgM and IgG, together with other biological and clinical parameters were measured during the course of treatment.The study of these patients revealed a significant decrease of IgA and IgG levels and an improvement of inflammatory parameters correlating with the clinical evolution. D-pcnicillamine had no effect on complement components C3, C4 and C5 while an increase of CH50 from the 7th week onwards, after an initial period of decrease was observed.

摘要:

SummaryOut of ten patients with brain abscess, observed over a period of fifteen months, eight were associa ted withStreptococcus milleri, either in pure culture or as part of a mixed flora with strict anaerobes. Inspite of surgery and chemotherapy, two patients died and one survived with severe sequelae.The taxonomic position, the ecology, the pathogenic spectrum, and the bacteriologic diagnosis ofS. milleriare reviewed.
