摘要:

Earlier work has suggested that up to 25% of children undergoing tonsillectomy because of recurrent sore throats are relatively deficient in IgA immunoglobulin and that they do less well after the operation than ‘normal’ children. Measurements of serum immunoglobulin levels were carried out in 96 children undergoing tonsillectomy for recurrent sore throats. Levels of IgA, IgM and IgG were found to be similar to those in healthy children, 7.29% of those studied had ‘low’ IgA serum levels. There was significant relationship between serum IgA levels and the age of the child. No relationship could be established between IgA levels and pre‐ or postoperative clinical state of the children. Low IgA serum levels are probably the result of delayed immunological maturation rather than a true immunodeficient state. IgA estimations, therefore, have no bearing on selection for operation or the prognosis after

摘要:

One hundred and ten patients with an oropharyngeal carcinoma seen in the period 1961‐1971 at the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital in Amsterdam are analysed. Approximately 75% of the patients were older than 60 years. About 60% of the patients had a cervical lymph node metastasis at the time of admission. Virtually all patients were treated exclusively by radiotherapy. Of the total group, the absolute survival was 26%, for tumours of the tonsil 35%, and for the base of the tongue 17%. There was no significant correlation between the histological degree of differentiation and the survival. The possibility of improving the results of selected patients is discusse

摘要:

Light microscopical study of 29 cases of undifferentiated carcinoma of the nasopharynx showed evidence or origin of the tumour cells from overlying epithelium in IO cases. In all cases the tumour cells had a distincitive cellular appearance of ‘empty’ chromatin deficient nuclei, prominent nucleoli and indefinite cytoplasmic margins. Electron microscopy indicated desmosomes and poorly defined tonofilaments in addition to the above cytoplasmic features. Undifferentiated carcinoma of the nasopharynx shows characteristic light and electron microscopic features which indicate that the tumour cells take origin from squamous epithelium, but are of an extreme degree of dedifferentiat

摘要:

An improvement in the treatment results of antroethmoidal cancers may be achived through the use of a transcranial approach, which makes anen blocexcision of the ethmoid labyrinths possible. This exposure allows dural involvement to be assessed, excised and repaired under direct vision. The technique used in the management of 9 patients is described. Eight of these patients presented with recurrent disease after previous radio‐therapy and surgery. There were no deaths in the immediate postoperative period. Two patients are dead: one with disease in the frontal lobe; the other 18 months after operation, apparently free of disease. Facial deformity in patients who have undergone this operation is no greater than that associated with other operations in this area, and may be less, as a superior approach may allow the posterior ethmoidal and sphenoid area to be excised without orbital exenteratio

摘要:

Diffuse interstitial pulmonary infiltration was first reported in 1969, occurring during intermittent methotrexate therapy and it is suggested that it represents an adverse reaction to this drug. Despite the severity of the clinical and radiological changes, the disease is usually self‐limiting. An additional case is presented and the previous 28 reported cases of this syndrome are summarized. Since intermittent methotrexate therapy is becoming more widely used, the importance of recognizing this respiratory illness as a possible complicating reaction to the drug is stresse

摘要:

A total of 297 bronchoscopies were performed on 238 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis at the Paivarinne Chest Hospital during the period 1967‐1973. The tuberculous process was deemed active in 172 patients and inactive in 66. Active endobronchial tuberculosis was diagnosed in 20 patients, 11.6% of the active cases, whereas inactive sequelae of endobronchial tuberculosis appeared in 7% of the total material. Bronchography was performed on 163 patients; a normal bronchogram was obtained in 54% of the cases with minimal changes, 35% of the moderately advanced cases, 13% of the far advanced and 23% of the inactive cases. Sputum samples were more often positive for tubercle bacilli than the bronchial aspirates, and bacterial cultures from sputum samples were less reliable indicators of infection than were cultures from bronchial aspirates. Cytological smears revealed no difference between these two sampling method
