Behaviour of leukocyte acid phosphatase in various chronic diseases.

Leukocyte acid phosphatases were investigated in 146 patients with different chronic diseases. The method of investigation used was that of Kaplow and Burstone slightly modified by the authors in what regards the pH of the incubation medium. Normal or slightly increased scores were observed in the granulocytic series of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, chronic hepatitis, lupus erythematosus disseminatus and chronic lymphocytic leukemia a moderate enzymatic activity was generally observed in the lymphocyte and more marked in severe forms of disease. A marked increase of the enzyme activity was observed in patients with myeloma. The possibility of a correlation between the intensity of enzyme activity and immunoglobulin formation is discussed.

[Difficulties in diagnosis and surgical treatment of subacute and chronic thyroiditis].

Out of a total number of 875 cases of thyroid affections of various origins, hospitalized in the two surgical clinics of Tîrgu-Mureş, the authors selected 16 cases of subacute and chronic thyroiditis. They indicate the difficulties encountered in establishing the diagnosis before surgery, a fact that determined wide excisions in extremely difficult local conditions. They suggest, as a first therapeutic attitude, a conservative treatment with steroid drugs, antibiotics and roentgentherapy (when necessary), and, if such treatments fail, or when malignancies are suspected, as well as compression phenomena have developed, surgical treatment preceded by an extemporaneous anatomo-pathological examination. When thyroiditis is diagnosed surgery should be limited to decompressing incisions.

Conventional spectral Doppler and color Doppler ultrasound imaging. Principles, limitations, artifacts and clinical indications in hepatology.

The physical principles, limitations, errors and indications of conventional Doppler and color encoded Doppler sonography are reviewed and their applications in the investigation of liver, spleen, portal and suprahepatic portal venous circulation are analysed. The actual possibilities and advantages of Doppler imaging, both in normal conditions and in pathologic ones, such as portal hypertension, portal venous thrombosis or cavernous transformation, liver cirrhosis, hepatoma and liver transplantation are discussed.
