摘要:

SummaryThe authors review the X Ray changes in 234 patients treated with streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin. The action of the drug is very different, according to the radiological and clinical picture.A complete clearing of the X Ray film has been observed in the following groups :—Miliary Tuberculosis : 100 %.—Miliary Tuberculosis with irregular granulations : 44 %.—”Cold miliary”: 30 %.—Reticular and nodular lesions : 8 %.—Large and irregular shadows : 11 %.—Homogeneous shadows : 9 %.—Cavities : 3 %.Generally, the acute cases respond better than the chronic ones. When there is a cavity, the drug is less active on the associated lesions of the lung. In this case, a complete clearing is uncommon. Good results are obtained in bronchial tuberculosis.The disappearance of the T. B. in the sputum was seen in 10 % of the cases with cavities, and in 50 % of the cases without cavity.The authors discriminate imperative, relative, and questionable indications.The use of streptomycin, associated with collapsotherapy makes more safe this procedure, and allows to extend the indications of the latter.Toxic reactions are less common with dihydrostreptomycin than with streptomycin, but at high dosages (100 grs), are still observed.

摘要:

SummaryThere is a close correlation between the results obtained by the zinc sulfate method and those showed by electrophoresis.This is true as well with high as with low concentrations of plasma proteins and whatever the level ofαorβglobulins may be.The zinc sulfate method gives a fast and accurate information about concentration ofγglobulins in serum which is most useful to follow the evolution of the disease.

摘要:

SummaryThe author reviews a case of myeloma in which the diagnosis was confirmed by a biopsy of the pelvis. He relates the results obtained by giving pentamidine as indicated by Snapper.The patient received this drug twice : at the first time 1,19 gr, later on 1,12 gr.From aclinicalpoint of view the pain was reduced and the patient improved. No significantblood changes,were observed : globulinemia was not reduced. Bence Jone’s albuminuria persisted, but the treatment was followed by an increase of theabsolute number of polynuclearcells associated with a decrease of the lymphocytes.X rays studiesdid not show important changes although recalcification was observed in several points.It must be pointed out that hyperleucocytosis with polynucleosis has not been described until now and it is a fair possibility that pentamidine awakes an adreno-cortical response.Such a mechanism is to be considered when the general mode of action of anti-cancerous drugs is discussed.
