Signet-ring cell carcinoma involving the urinary bladder. Report of a case and review of 21 cases.

A case of signet-ring cell carcinoma involving the urinary bladder, which is a rare variant of adenocarcinoma, is presented. 21 cases have so far been reported in the occidental and Japanese journals. In 13 patients (62%) the carcinomas were of urachal origin and 8 (38%) of bladder origin. The prognosis of signet-ring cell carcinoma originating in bladder is poorer compared to that in urachus; 2-year survival of 40% for the bladder cancer group and 70% for the urachus. A radical cystectomy with excision of adjacent tissues, which might improve the prognosis in this fatal malignancy, should be considered.

Plasma glucose concentrations of whole blood, as determined with a multilayer-film analytical element.

A new type of multilayer film analytical element--consisting of a spreading layer, a blocking layer, an enzymic reagent layer, and a transparent layer--has been developed for blood glucose determination. After a spot of whole blood is dropped on the film, the plasma glucose concentration is determined in 6 min without further manipulations. Precise measurement of sample volume spotted on the film is not necessary for good results, nor is knowledge of the hematocrit in the range 10-46%. The minimum concentration of glucose detectable by this method is 100 mg/L. The coefficients of variation, within-run and between-run, were all less than 2.5% for 800-4000 mg/L glucose concentrations. Macromolecules and hydrophobic substances in blood did not interfere. This method seems suitable for emergency use, especially.

Supersensitivity to prostaglandin in chronic neurogenic bladders.

The bladder response to prostaglandin (PG test) was investigated in chronic neurogenic bladders by isometric cystometry and compared with the results obtained from normal subjects. The urinary bladder was filled with 100 ml of saline and 100 micrograms of prostaglandin 995 were injected intravenously. The changes in bladder and intra-abdominal pressures were observed for up to 20 min. A rise in detrusor pressure of more than 20 cm of water was judged a positive response. Out of 21 neurogenic bladders 12 had a positive response. The result of the PG test demonstrated a good correlation with the supersensitivity test to bethanechol chloride which was performed on these patients on a different day. All of the normal subjects had negative responses. It was concluded that the chronically denervated bladder is supersensitive to prostaglandin 995.
