摘要:

The body’s intrinsic defence against cancer depends mainly on cells of the lymphatic and reticulo-endothelial system, recognisable by an infiltration of mononuclear round cells into tumour tissue. In contrast to bladder carcinoma, cellular immune defence reactions to prostate carcinoma are only regularly observed when the tumour has broken through the capsule, or when distant metastases are present. This observation may be explained by the absence of an intrinsic lymphatic vascular system in the prostate. In contrast to bladder carcinoma, cellular immune defence reactions have no clinical significance in the later stages of prostate carcinom

摘要:

Previous quantitative assays and localization of amylase in prostatic and seminal fluid prompted us to determine serum amylase levels in benign and malignant prostatic disease. The possible role of amylase in seminal fluid in normal and pathological conditions is discussed with review of literature.

摘要:

In this work, definition and interpretation of different functional parameters, which were obtained through urodynamic investigations, are given. Normal patterns in child age are presented. They were the results of personal studies in patients with normal urinary tract. The pressure curve must be seen as an entity. The so-called after contraction is no detrusor contraction. But possibly it is the result of a determined lapse of contracting and relaxing occurrences in the different parts of the bladder and its outlet at the end of micturition.

摘要:

The compostion of 142 calculi from Sudan, Thailand, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia has been determined by qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. Calcium oxalate was the commonest constituent of both kidney and bladder stones, followed by magnesium ammonium phosphate, ammonium acid urate, calcium phosphate, uric acid and cystine in that order. Calcium oxalate was also the main constituent of the nucleus of most kidney and bladder stones, calcium phosphate, magnesium ammonium phosphate, and ammonium acid urate occurring most frequently in the outer layers of the stones. Most endemic bladder stones appear to originate as aggregates of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidney, which subsequently descend to the bladder, where they may acquire secondary deposits of calcium phosphate, magnesium ammonium phosphate or ammonium acid urate.

摘要:

An epidemiological and clinical study of a sample of 105 children with urolithiasis treated in the period 1965–1974 in a defined population of children revealed a decrease in the rate of incidence of this disease in a municipal infant population with high-ranking care for their health. Serious forms of urolithiasis are on the decrease. There is a higher rate of incidence in schoolboys and schoolgirls, the latter being more often involved than boys. Despite the general lower rate of occurrence, urolithiasis still has such forms as will endanger the life of the organ and the life of the patient. Injury to health of the child by this disease consists mainly in loss of one kidney, ambilateral staghorn stones that proved irremovable in their entirety and pyelonephriti

摘要:

The unilateral renal artery in rabbits was constricted, and lipid droplet count in the medullary interstitial cells of the ‘opposite’ kidney was performed 1 week after surgery. Lipid droplet count in hypertensive rabbits was less than that in both nonhypertensive and normal rabbits and was inversely proportional to the mean blood pressure. Lipid droplet count was significantly correlated with the juxtaglomerular granulation index and the sodium content in the inner medulla. The present results suggest that, in the opposite kidney of rabbits hypertensive due to unilateral constriction of the renal artery, the enhanced release of prostaglandins and the washout of solute in the renal medulla may be induced as a response to increased perfusion pressure and elevated circulating angioten

摘要:

Two cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis are presented. Etiopathogenetic problems connected with various drugs are discussed, among which the methysergide is of paramount importance as well as the less known drugs such as reserpine. Histologic structures were studied by immunofluorescence which gives evidence of the antigen coloring the compound with specific γ-globulins combined with a strongly fluorescent drug (fluorescein): its positivity is clear and precise with total anti-Ig serum, as well as with anti-lgG, less weak with anti-IgA, and negative with anti-IgM. Such results advocate a tissular immunity movement and stress the theory which aims to focus retroperitoneal fibrosis within the chapter of autoimmunization diseases

摘要:

The authors describe the case of a patient with tuberous sclerosis. The occurrence of M-protein with antigenous appurtenance of IgM not only in the patient himself but also in some of the healthy blood relations in the family is pointed out. The question of clinical and biochemical-immunological peculiarities occurring in connection with this disease is discussed.

摘要:

It is a common belief that the female urethral syndrome is an infectious disease, caused by ascending vestibular microorganisms or bacteria harboured in the paraurethral glands. To study the flora of different parts of the urethra in patients with urgency, cultures were obtained in 36 cases from the proximal urethra, the external urethral opening, the distal urethra after paraurethral massage and from the upper vagina for comparison. All locations were dominated by lactobaciüae. Enterobactcria and anaerobic bacteria occurred in approximately one third of the cases at all sites, although only in small amounts in the urethra, especially in the proximal part. The urethral and the vaginal flora resembled each other very closely. Only in a few cases did a possible pathogen reside solely in the urethra, i.e. it could not be found in the vagina or in the vestibular flora. On the whole, no appreciable amount of any microorganism was present in the urethra or in secretion from the paraurethral glands. The clinical significance which a very small amount of enterobacteria or anaerobes may have in these locations remains to be established

摘要:

Our experiences with a flexible fiberscope for nephroscopy during operation are reported. With high pressure of the irrigation fluid, good judgement of the pelviocaliceal system is possible. Sounds for coagulation and forceps for stone extraction can be introduced. We found nephroscopy helpful after stone extraction and in identification of pyelocaliceal tumours.
