A clinical trial of cell-wall skeleton of BCG in chemoimmunotherapy of acute leukemia.

A clinical trial of chemoimmunotherapy using cell-wall skeleton of BCG (BCG-CWS) was conducted in 28 patients with acute leukemia in complete remission. Chemotherapy consisted of monthly intensification therapy for 2 months and bimonthly therafter. Immunotherapy with 200 microgram of oil-attached BCG-CWS mixed with 10(7) autochthonous leukemic cells was given intradermally at either of upper or lower extremities every week, except when the patients were on maintenance therapy. No serious systemic side effect attributable to BCG-CWS was noted. Six patients developed mild and transient temparature elevation. Most importnat side effect was local skin reaction. Indulated papules developed in all patients, resulting in draining ulcerations in 26 patients. Increase of immunological reactivity of the patients receiving BCG-CWS was noted. Skin test response to PPD, Varidase, and candida extract showed definite increase. In vitro lymphocyte blastogenic response to PPD, concanavalin-A, and pokeweed mitogen revealed significant increase.

Proposed system for ultrafast computed tomography.

Construction of a new ultrafast scanner system suitable for dynamic computed tomography is now under consideration, with development soon to begin. This system will be characterized by an electronically controlled X-ray generator with wide angle double diffraction, which will permit transverse axial images to be taken in times as short as 0.01 second.

[A case of cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with presented remarkable enlargement during 13 years (author's transl)].

A 20-year-old man visited us complaining of head heaviness after he sustained a minor head injury at traffic accident. Although he showed no neurological deficits, the CT--SCAN (Fig. 2) revealed a high density area after contrast enhancement in the left frontal region. Left carotid angiography (Fig. 3) was carried out on admission, revealing a large AVM (3X5X4 cm) in the same area. As he had undergone craniotomy because of chronic subdural hematoma at the age of seven, the left carotid angiogram (Fig. 1) taken at that time was re-examined. It revealed no abnormal shadows suggesting the presence of the AVM. Since AVM is a congenital disease, the present large AVM is considered to have grown in size from the cryptic type for the past 13 years, escaping detection by the initial angiogram.
