SummaryThe role of blood lipids in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis seems to be substantiated by pathologic, experimental, and clinical data. Although hypercholesterolemia is the main factor involved, studies on blood lipids in angor pectoris suggest that hypercholesterolemia is the result of more than one single metabolic disorder. Thus, the sensitivity of blood lipoproteins to heparin as well as the vitamin A loading test help to differenciate 1) hypercholesterolemia with abnormalities within the first steps of lipid metabolism from 2) hypercholesterolemia without such abnormalities.The first type of hypercholesterolemia, which is close to idiopathic hyperlipemia, is very sensible to dietary changes. The second type, which is connected with idiopathic xanthomatous hypercholesterolemia, is not affected by changes in. lipid intake.The possible multiplicity of atheromatogenous hypercholesterolemia implicates practical consequences in diagnostic and therapeutic problems involved in the management of subjects prone to develop atherosclerosis.

摘要:

SummaryThe efficiency of methicillin onStaphylococcus Aureusinfection is illustrated by the study of 5 severe cases.The advantage of the determination of bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities of the serum is demonstrated.In patients treated with methicillin, bacteriostatic and bactericidal serum concentrations are usually identical.

摘要:

SummaryFifty cases of malignancy have been treated with cyclophosphamide alone or in combination with Rôntgen therapy. Palliative results, sometimes dramatic, were achieved in some cases. Good results were obtained in the management of lung carcinoma with the association of cyclophosphamide and X-ray therapy. A special study of the leukocytic reaction is reported . It is concluded that cyclophosphamide is an effective drug, of moderate toxicity, and easy to use.

摘要:

SummaryAfter a review of the methods used for the detection of thyroid autoantibodies, two clinical observations are presented where oedematous exophtalmia and ophtalmoplegia are associated with chronic aspecific thyroiditis and thyroid autoimmune reactions.The first patient was a 44 years old man. A three years thyroid extract treatment was followed by a complete goitre regression, a cure of the ocular trouble and a subsidence of the autoimmune reactions.The second patient was a 50 years old woman. The clinical and biological symptoms were more severe. Treatment by thyroid extract and triiodothyronine associated with prednisolone and beta-methasone resulted in a size decrease of the goitre, a remarquable relief of ocular troubles and an attenuation of autoimmune reactions and blood proteins perturbations.In these two observations, the symptoms appeared after a succession of psychic trauma. It seems possible that we arc dealing with Grave disease cases, whose the hyperthyroid components have been neutralized by early development of thyroiditis phenomena.The hypothesis is considered of autoimmune reactions intervening in ocular trouble pathogeny.

摘要:

SummaryThe author reports a case of malignant erythroleucoblastosis with megalo-hlasts. Extreme immaturity of the red cell line was a notable feature in both the marrow and peripheral blood (subacute erythremia of Di Guglielmo). Very soon the number of myeloblasts increased in the bone marrow and in the peripheral blood and superseded the red cell line. Finally the patient died, presenting the typical picture of acute granulocytic leukemia.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors describe a case of Kaposi's disease with multiple localizations in a Bantou patient, reporting clinical, radiological, pathological and biological data. Hepatic, renal, osseous and lymph nodes localizations were much more extensive than the cutaneous ones. Attention must be drawn to several facts.The diagnosis of visceral involvement was made during the life of the patient, and this has been rarely reported in the literature.The hyperproteinemia and hypergammaglobulinemia associated with extensive bone marrow and tissue plasmocytosis in this case, point out once more to the possible reticular origin of this neoplasm.

摘要:

SummaryLow-calcium tetany and low-magnesium tetany in man are characterized by a repetitious myo-electrical activity.By comparison of electromyographical data obtained in hypopotassemia and alcalosis, we observe the repetitious activity of calcium tetany and magnesium tetany, together with a fibrillar activity (sometimes grouped in myotonic volleys). Repetitious activity is not arising when alcalosis disappears. Fibrillar activity and myotonic volleys disappear at normal potassemia.We conclude that myotonic volleys seem typical for hypopotassemia.
