Possible correlation between tumor invasiveness and low serum cholesterol.

The predisposition to solid tumor of individuals with low serum cholesterol may correlate with membrane properties of the emerging neoplastic cells. Evidence is presented to indicate that cholesterol content in the membrane of tumor cells is adjusted with respect to the serum cholesterol. Upon incorporation of cholesterol, tumor cells, which are exemplified here by colon and gastric carcinoma cells, become substantially more immunogenic and therefore more susceptible to clearance by the immune system.

Hemostatic changes after saline infusion.

An in vitro trial was performed to detect a thrombotic tendency in patients receiving saline infusions before surgery. The following tests were performed: thromboelastography (TEG) with the three indices of the reaction time (r), clot formation time (k) and maximum amplitude (MA), and antithrombin III, which was investigated immunologically as well as by a functional test with a chromogenic substrate and an automated method. The use of these tests together with others for the detection of high-risk patients is suggested, since no single laboratory test was found to be sufficient for the prediction of thrombotic diseases.
