摘要:

SummaryFour cases of uroepithclial tumors of the renal pelvis associated with phenacetin abuses are reported and compared with data of litterature.In most of cases, it is a particularly malignant carcinoma, developed by middle age women, who have suffered of macroscopic hematuria or papillary necrosis. The orthoaminophenol metabolits of phenacetin seem to be the carcinogenic derivative.

摘要:

SummaryThe in vitro antibacterial activity of cefoxitin against 150 cephalothin resistant Enterobacteriaceae (MIC≥16μg/ml) was compared with that of cefamandole, cefuroxime, cefazaflur and cefaclor, by using the Kirby Bauer disc method. Seventy-five percent of the cephalothin resistant strains were still sensitive to cefoxitin, except forEnterobacterandCitrobacterstrains, cefoxitin was also the most active drug against each group of Enterobacteriaceae with susceptibility ranging separately from 86 % to 100.Enterobacteriaceae isolates, representing 55 % of the total number, play still an important role in hospital pathology, although the increase in the number of isolates was less than that of non-Enterobacteriaceae.Finally, 30 % of our Enterobacteriaceae, isolated in September and October 1978, were resistant to cephalothin, although once again there seems to be an improved sensitivity to cephalotin from 64 % to 70 % in 1978.Because of these in vitro studies the introduction of a new (3-Iactam antibiotic in the hospital formularium seems justified.

摘要:

SummaryThe adverse effects of glafenin consist in acute renal insufficiency and anaphylactic reactions.The acute renal insufficiency is always reversible and in most cases lesions of acute tubular necrosis have been found at renal biopsy. Our study suggests that glafenin would in addition be toxic at the glomerular level.The anaphylactic reactions are more frequent and have also always a favorable course, although in half of the cases, an anaphylactic was present.

摘要:

SummaryFive cases ofMycobacterium marinumskin infection in patients breeding exotic fish are reported. Lesions mimicking sporotrÏchoid nodules developed on the fingers, hands or forearms. Cutaneous biopsies revealed chronic inflammatory granulomas consisting of polymorphonuclear cells, lymphocytes, histiocytes, and epitheloÏid cells. Ziehl-Neelsen stain of the tissue sections was negative, but the bacteriological diagnosis was established on Löwenstein-Jensen media. After a few weeks incubation at 30°C,M. marinumphotochromogenic colonies developed. These strains were sensitive to ethambutol, cycloserine, tetracycline, partly sensitive to rifampicin and highly resistant to streptomycin, P.A.S., and isoniazide. Successful treatment was achieved with tetracycline or with antituberculous drugs (rifampicin, ethambutol, P.A.S.) followed or not by the administration of tetracycline. Diagnosis, treatment and epidemiology of the disease are reviewed.

摘要:

SummarySporadic cases of Legionnaires’disease, a recently described pulmonary infection, have been reported from several countries. The ease of a 67-year old Belgian who developed a similar pulmonary infection, is described.The clinical picture included fever, cough, dyspnoea and confusion.The chest roentgenogram showed multilobar pulmonary involvement with tendency to nodular consolidation.The patient was treated with ampicilline and cephapirine and recovered slowly.The antibody titer against Legionella pneumophila, determined retrospectively by means of an indirect fluorescent-antibody test was 1: 1024.

摘要:

SummaryThe biochemical action of renin on its substrate (angiotensinogen) leads to the formation of angiotensin I which is converted by angiotensin converting enzyme (kininase II) into the vasoactive peptide angiotensin II which has many biological functions. Another angiotensin converting enzyme (tonin) forms angiotensin II directly from renin substrate.Indirect means of assessing the plasma renin level have been developped such as plasma renin activity (PRA) and renin concentration assayed after acidification of the plasma to pH 3.3 (PRC3.3). The PRA and PRC3.3determinations give concordant findings in normal subjects on a regular and a low sodium diet and in hypertensive patients on a regular diet and/or after sodium-volume depletion. The relationship between PRA or PRC3.3on the one side and urinary sodium excretion, age or plasma aldosterone concentration on the other side is of the same magnitude. However PRA and PRC3.3determinations can give discordant findings in conditions such as influence of beta-blockade, effect of exercise, renal vein plasma renin levels, infusion of saralasin and females on oral contraceptives.The diagnostic and prognostic value of plasma renin determinations are also reported: hyperaldosteronism, renovascular hypertension, predictive value of renin determinations in the hypotensive effect of beta-blockers or diuretics, renin secreting tumors and renin as risk factor for stroke and heart attack.
