摘要:

A study was made of the bacteriology of acute maxillary sinusitis, diagnosis being made on the basis of clinical and radiological examinations. Material for study was taken only from maxillary sinuses with secretion, and consisted of 243 secretion specimens from 171 untreated patients. Bacteriological findings were in good agremeent with other recent studies. Most specimens yielded Diplococcuspneumoniae or Haemophilusinfluenzae or no growth. The findings were analyzed with regard to age and seasonal distribution. Staphyiococcusaureus, which is sometimes taken to indicate the degree of nasal contamination, was present in 10% of cultures. Decreased sensitivity to penicillin was found in 24% of all bacteria isolated, and to tetracycline in 3.5%. Stress is placed on the need for an accurate definition of this condition. The suitability of penicillin for the treatment of acute maxillary sinusitis is questioned.

摘要:

Changes of protein and RNA synthesis due to the effect of penicillin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol and oxytetracycline were studied in suspensions of human tonsillar cells invitro. Inhibition of macromolecular synthesis occurred at concentrations of about 1 mg/ml of the first three antibiotics mentioned and at about 5 µg/ml of oxytetracycline. The inhibitory effect of penicillin and oxytetracycline develops moreslowly than that of streptomycin and chloramphenicol and is reversible

摘要:

Bell’s palsy is a common and well-known disease. Nevertheless, diagnosis may be difficult in some cases with very slight paresis, and prognosis is always a hazard. Many techniques, mostly electrophysiological, are used in order to refine diagnosis or prognosis. When evoked by electrical stimulation of the frontal region, blink reflex shows at electromyographic recording 2 components: normal blink reflex implies integrity of facial nerve in its whole course. Increase of the latencies is seen in Bell’s palsy. Measurement of the first component latency is now used as a diagnostic test in this disease. The aim of the present study was to compare this new technique with conduction time test and with electrogustometry. Blink reflex is disturbed early in facial paralysis; it is more sensitive than the 2 other measurements, for in several patients only blink reflex is affected. All patients were treated with ACTH. Evolution was generally good and best demonstrated with blink reflex; conversely, increase of conduction time test may persist for many weeks despite a good clinical recovery. Electrogustometry also shows correlation with the clinical state, but it frequently remains normal in the presence of severe lesions of facial nerve. The authors consider that 2 successive improvements of blink reflex give a clear sign of good prognosis. Blink reflex is a technique of daily usage; advantages are sensitivity and fair correlation with the clinical st
