SummaryThe proteolytic enzyme found in the prostate is active on a number of substrates including casein. The proteolytic activity of prostate extracts is not the result of an activation of plasminogen.

摘要:

SummaryTwo cases of agammaglobulinemia in the adult are presented. In the fir-1 case there was hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, leucopenia and an acute hemolytic syndrome (Lederer anaemia). The patient run a high fever for several months, but no infectious focus was found and all hemocultures remained sterile. Despite all kinds of treatment and substitution this patient died.In the second case the diagnosis was suspected because of the history of repeated lung infections since the age of 7. The patient underwent a lobectomv previously. He was admitted with a purulent pericarditis (staphylococcus albus). After drainage of the pericarditis the patient responded well to antibiotics. He receives now monthly injections of human plasma in an effort to correct his deficiency and prevent further infectious episodes.

摘要:

Summary1.Splenectomy, long recommended as the causal treatment of Banti Svn- drome, yields disappointing results. It remains indicated only in cases of thrombosis of the splenic vein and in the rare cases of«Banti disease».2.Porto-caval shunt is the only rational treatment of Banti Syndrome due to portal obstruction. As portal vein is usually thrombosed spleno-renal anastomosis will be most often used. It yields better results than those obtained by direct approach on oesophagal varicose veins (ligature or cardio-oesopha- gectomy).3.Direct porto-caval anastomosis is presently the best available treatment of hemorrhages due to portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis. It does not influence cirrhotic ascitis in which portal hypertension seems less involved than imbalances of water and salt metabolism.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors relate the observation of a 71 years old patient, who presented a severe hemorrhagic disease with bleedings behind the retina and urinary- hemorrhages. The blood clotting tests sustained the diagnosis of prothrombin and proconvertin insufficiency. No information in the history was available about the origin of this deficiency. A very high dicumarol concentration was found in the blood plasma. Four months after the hospitalisation, the authors finally discovered that the patient had received large doses of dicumarol before the appearance of the related symptoms.

摘要:

SummaryAn endemic of syringe transmitted jaundice is studied.The complaints of the patients in the prodromal stage were the same, although less pronounced, as in infectious hepatitis. Fever was a rare symptom.During the icteric stage tests of hepatic functions showed identical results as in infectious hepatitis. Thymol turbidity was in most patients definitely elevated. A high zinc sulfate reaction (Kunkel) persisted long after other hepatic tests were normal. All cases were benign except one that continued as a chronic form of hepatitis with hepatic siderosis.

摘要:

SummaryThe author reviews our knowledge concerning the mechanism of CO2transfer in blood, its pulmonary clearance and the renal excretion of bicarbonate.He recalls the physiological process responsible for urine acidification and ammonia excretion.This knowledge is applied to the study of the disturbances of the acid- base equilibrium observed in clinical conditions. The use of the nomogram of Singer and Hastings is emphasized to recognise acidosis and alcalosis either of metabolic or respiratory origin.For example, the respiratory acidosis of emphysema, the metabolic acidosis of renal insufficiency and the hypokalemic alcalosis are studied in details.
