Regional femur blood flow measurements with radiolabelled microspheres in fatty liver-induced or corticosteroid treated animals: preliminary report.

Using radio-labelled microspheres, the authors studied bone blood flows in various segments of goose femurs (femoral head, trochanter, condyles). Experiments were conducted on three groups of geese: control, fatty liver induced and corticosteroid-treated animals. The preliminary results suggest that hyperlipemia and fatty liver conditions do not seem to obviously disturb intra osseous blood circulation in fatty geese, although corticosteroids might affect bone blood flows in condyles.

Solitary angiomyolipoma of the liver. Report of a case with diagnosis by fine needle aspiration biopsy.

Solitary angiomyolipoma is a benign tumor that rarely develops in the liver. The preoperative diagnosis of this lesion is of great value because of the therapeutic implications. Radiologic findings are relatively characteristic but not specific. A case of giant angiomyolipoma of the liver is described in which ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were insufficient to establish the diagnosis. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) was performed, showing bundles of smooth muscle cells intermingled with fat mature cells, characteristic of this lesion. FNAB may be a valuable method of establishing a definitive diagnosis of hepatic angiomyolipoma.

Immunotherapy with a standardized Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus glutaraldehyde-modified extract against an unmodified extract: a comparative study of efficacy, tolerance and in vivo and in vitro modification of parameters.

We comparatively studied clinical efficacy, tolerance and modifications of different in vivo and in vitro parameters induced by two biologically standardized Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus extracts (HEP units), one glutaraldehyde-modified, in patients with allergic rhinitis and/or bronchial asthma after a year of treatment. A decrease in drug consumption was observed in both treatment groups (p < 0.0001). Of all the in vivo parameters studied (cutaneous, conjunctival and bronchial reactivity to the allergen), a decrease in specific bronchial reactivity was only observed in the group treated with the modified extract (p < 0.05). The modifications in total IgE, specific IgE and specific total IgG levels are superimposable on those described in previous papers on immunotherapy. However, IgG4 levels remained stable with respect to time. Tolerance was good and very similar for both treatments; both types of extracts are equally efficacious and safe.
