SummaryDescription of a typical case of acute disseminated lupus erythematosus with signs and symptoms of diffuse involvement of the skin, articulations, heart, lungs, kidneys and central nervous system.The histological study showed most of the characteristic lesions associated with this disease : hematoxylin bodies, periarterial fibrosis of the spleen, retinal cytoid bodies and«wire loop»glomeruli of the kidneys. This last change does not seem to differ greatly from the other types of glomerular hyalinosis.The results of the cytochemical study of the hematoxylin bodies agree with those of Klemperer and coworkers. These corpuscules could arise from the depolymerization of desoxyribonucleins of the connective cells, and perhaps also from their subsequent combination with a protein of the ground substance of the connective tissue.Most of the changes observed were not extensive, except in the skin. This contrasted strikingly with the severity of the clinical course. However, the persistent fall of serumalbumin along with the considerable increase of gammaglobulins, indicated a profound disturbance in the protein metabolism.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors compare the results of functional respiratory exploration and those of right heart catheterism obtained in twelve cases of chronic emphysema. This study allowed them to bring the following points into evidence.Pressure in pulmonary artery was much increased in subjects with severe emphysema (according to Tiffeneau-Drutel’s classification). It was normal in subjects with benign or moderate emphysema.Test of hypoxia(Inspiratory air containing 9%oxygen) causes a great rise of the pulmonary pressure in subjects of the first group, a slight rise in those of the second group.Reoxygenation induces as a rule a drop of the pressure below the initial level. One may suppose that in chronic emphysema, pressure in pulmonary artery in influenced by the oxygen level in alveolar air and by the arterial blood saturation.However when interpreting the results of the functional tests, one must take into account the increases of pressure due to the anatomical lesions of chronic emphysema.The authors have seen that an increase of cardiac Index is far from constant in chronic emphysematous patients.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors have followed the evolution of labeled iodide and hormonal iodine in the plasma of 58 patients (including 15 normal subjects) given a test dose of I131, with the aim of assessing the diagnostic value of this test. The results were compared with those of other thyroid tests : iodine uptake by the thyroid gland, B. M. R. measurement of plasma cholesterol, etc...Hormonal iodine shows characteristic patterns, which make it possible to distinguish between hyperthyroid, normal and hypothyroïd cases, especially if the maximal values attained are taken into account. The hormone can be localised amongst protein fractions by electrophoresis of the serum of subjects injected with radioiodine.The curves of labeled iodide furnish interesting information concerning the metabolism of iodine and differ significantly in hyperthyroïd and euthyroid subjects. An attempt has been made to interpret these curves.Various applications of these test are shown and illustrated by a few examples.

AbstractEn 1913, Pierre Marie et Leri rapportérent la premiére observation d’arthrite mutilante sous le titre :«Une variétérare de rhumatisme chronique, la main en lorgnette». Les descriptions de cas typiques de cette curieuse affection sont restées assez peu fréquentes pour justifier la relation du cas suivant oùles lésions de fonte osseuseétaient d’ailleurs particuliérementétendues.

SummaryIn a patient with functional adrenal insufficiency, some features of cortico- stimulin hypersecretion have been noticed on three occasions during infectious incidents. Treatment with small doses of cortisone is indicated in similar cases.

AbstractII estétabli qu’au cours de leur embryogenése, les glandes salivaires peuvent abandonner desÎlots de tissu glandulaire au niveau de la muqueuse des voies aérodigestives. supérieures, lévres, langue, palais, pharynx, etc.Ces inclusions hétérotypiques peuvent subsisteràl’état latent pendant toute la durée de la vie, comme elles peuvent aussi se développer et donner naissance aux diverses rumeurs d’origine salivaire.Au niveau de ces enclaves, de même que dans les trois glandes salivaires principales, parotide, sous-maxillaire ou sublinguale, ce sont les tumeurs mixtes qui apparaissent le plus souvent. Les adénomes purs sont beaucoup moins fréquents.En raison de leur rareté, ces néoformations sont relativement peu connues et c’est pourquoi il nous a paru utile d’en rapporter les trois observations qui vont suivre.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors present a case of silicosis, characterized by an acute and fatal evolution, occuring in the industry of scouring powders. Such an evolution depends from the high concentration of the dust in the air and from the small size of the particles.
