SummaryDetermination of total serum mucopolysaccharides and mucoproteins in normal, hypertensive and diabetic individuals has shown the following results : Normal : mean values for mucopolysaccharides : 131 mg %; mean values for mucoproteins : 11,6 mg %.Hypertensive : 143 mg %, 13,5 mg %.Diabetic, without vascular complications : 166 mg 16 mgDiabetic, with vascular complications : 180 mg % 21 mg %Peripheral or central origin of these substances is discussed.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors had the opportunity to apply different techniques of encephalography in the investigation of cerebral arachnoïditis, supra- and infratentorial tumour cases.They illustrate de value of fractionated encephalography by the report of some observations. These concern unspecific optochiasmatic and cerebello-pon-tine arachnoïditis, adhesive tuberculous meningitis cases and also cerebellar haemangioblastoma, pontine astrocytoma and acoustic neurinoma cases.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors review the literature of the auto-immunization process in acquired haemolytic anaemias.Auto-antibodies may be divided, as iso-antibodies, in a«warm»and a«cold»type.Serological methods are discussed : agglutination tests in saline and protein media, use of enzyme-treated cells, anti-globulin test (Coombs), use of PNH cells, tests for haemolysis.The combined use of these methods seems to be the only way towards, valuable conclusions.

摘要:

SummaryNew immunological methods show anti-red cell antibodies in most cases of acquired hemolytic anemia.The case of a 66 years old woman presenting this disease is described. Her blood contains warm agglutinins and her Coombs test is positive (direct).After administration of A.C.T.H. during 15 days no improvement was noted. Cortisone induced a temporary remission but cure was only obtained by splenectomy (follow-up of 6 months).Abnormal antibody titer shows little change despite the remarkable improvement which followed cortisone therapy and splenectomy.The origin and mode of action of auto-antibodies remain uncertain. Equally mysterious are the modes of action of splenectomy and hormone therapy. Nevertheless, cortisone or A.C.T.H. constitute at present the best treatment in acquired hemolytic anemia. When this therapy fails, the patient should be submitted to splenectomy. The results of this operation are as unpredictable as those of hormone therapy, but failure of one type of treatment does not imply, ineffectiveness of the other.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors report five cases of idiopathic acquired haemolytic anaemia with abnormal auto-antibodies, one of these cases suggesting the diagnosis of Lederer’s anaemia.The best management is discussed and seems to be the suitable use of hormones (A.C.T.H. and cortisone) associated with splenectomy.

摘要:

Summary1. A case of subacute bacterial endocarditis is reported, in which the blood culture was positive only after one month showing a non-hemolytic streptococcus, Penicillin- Streptomycin- Terramycin- and Chloramphenicol- resistant, lightly Aureomycin-sensitive and distinctly Erythromycin-sensitive.2. The combined use of massive doses of Penicillin and Streptomycin and the use thereafter of Terramycin given intravenously which took place before the blood cultures became positive, proved ineffective.3. Clinical recovery, maintained since five months, followed the use of Erythromycin given alone, in doses of 2 g daily for one month and in progressively decreased doses for another month.4. Erythromycin given alone may be effective in the treatment of subacute bacterial endocarditis.
