SummaryWhen Inulin is injected in the amniotic cavity, it does never appear either in the mother’s blood or in the fœtus blood. In the same way, when Inulin is introduced in the mother’s circulation, it does not appear immediatly in the amniotic fluid.After some delay, some Inulin is found in the fœtal blood, because the normal fœtus a certain amount of amniotic fluid ; when Inulin is present in this fluid it may be absorbed by the small bowel. Inulin is then excreted by the kidney of the fœtus and is returned by miction into the amniotic fluid. Only, during delivery does Inulin pass through the plancentalwall.Precise data have been collected concerning the rate of Inulin diffusion in the amniotic fluid. It has been proved that the amniotic fluid is not a filtrate either of the maternal or foetal blood. Evidence has been given of a fœtal renal excretion, with spontaneous intra-amniotic mictions. The existence of a third circulation between monozygotic twins has been demonstrated. Increase of the placental permeability during the delivery has been supported. Experiments have given a measurement of the volume of amniotic fluid, of the amount of amniotic fluid ingested by the fœtus in a given time. Furthermore, a pathognomonic sign of fœtal death has been added. It is suggested that this method might give in theîuture the possibility of estimating the volume of the extracellular fœtal fluid.

SummaryAuthor emphasizes the pluriglandular origin of Cushing’s syndrom. The good results, obtained in three cases by radiotherapy of hypophysis and adrenals, associated to the administration of A.T. 10 bring some confirmation to this opinion.

摘要:

SummaryThree cases of serous tuberculous meningitis in adult patients with active pleuro-pulmonary tuberculosis are reported. In two of them tubercle bacilli were found on direct smear of spinal fluid.Several similar cases were previously described in the literature. The pathogenesis is briefly discussed. In the first stages the diagnostic may be very difficult, but the chemistry of spinal fluid could be of some help.Severe pronostic in the future allowed discussion of opportunity of streptomycin treatment.

SummaryAnatomo-clinical study of a case of reticulosarcomatosis originating in the skin of the frontal region. Gradual extension to most of the face, to several lymph-glands, the mammary gland. Death by thrombosis of both renal veins resulting from the extensive metastatic involvement of both kidneys.Discussion of the mode of metastasis in similar cases, and the possibility of extracellular transmission of a specific infective agent.

摘要:

SummaryDescription of a case of leiomyosarcoma of pericardium in a 44 years old woman.Clinically, the most important symptoms were edema and cyanosis of the face, neck, arms and of the upper half of the body, due to thrombosis of superior vena cava.Because of these vascular signs, a mediastinal tumor was suspected.The autopsy revealed that the enlargement of the heart showed by XR examination was due to a neoplastic invasion of the pericardial cavity. The heart was not involved and there was no metastasis.The thrombosis of superior vena cava was due to the compression by the tumor.The histologic examination proved, without any doubt, that the tumor was a leiomyosarcoma.
