Diffuse interstitial lung diseases: a histochemical approach.

72 cases of diffuse interstitial lung diseases were observed from 1969 to 1976. Specimens removed from 47 patients were subjected to the whole spectrum of reactions. According to variation of both elastin and collagen, the following groups were outlined: group A: mycobacteriosis, farmer's lung, sarcoidosis and silicosis; group B: chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia, post-tuberculous pulmonary fibrosis, and group C: X-ray pneumopathy, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, sclerodermic pneumopathy and chronic pulmonary fibrosis (primary chronic fibroadenomyosis). Each of these groups presents a close relationship between histochemical, radiological, clinical and functional findings.

Spontaneous hydropneumothorax by severe pulmonary sarcoidosis.

A case of pulmonary sarcoidosis involving the pleura and complicated by spontaneous hydropneumothorax is reported. Diagnosis is made by cytological features of pleural effusion and confirmed by mediastinal biopsy. The rare occurrence of this clinical situation must be diagnosed because of the important therapeutic implications, but in any event it indicates the severity of granulomatous disease.

[Pollen granules and other plant findings in cervico-vaginal smears].

42 cervico-vaginal out of 20,000 smears were singled out with extraneous structures of vegetable kind. Botanic analysis showed fragments of tracheae, fibres, etc., and mainly many pollen grains. The reports, accompanied by a set of pictures, are showed. Some hypotheses are presented concerning their origin. Some suggestions are proposed in order to reduce this kind of contamination which, mainly because of pollens, may lead to erroneous diagnoses.

Local treatment of neoplastic pleural effusions.

Efficacy of local treatment of neoplastic pleural effusions may be related to the administered drugs, as judged by our series of 225 patients. The evaluation of the local improvement--which did not interfere with the evolution of the primary cancer--showed good (45.9%) or satisfactory (48.6%) results in a series of 148 patients treated with peptichemio. This local improvement was practically devoid of any adverse side-effect even when the treatment was particularly prolonged. This survey deals with 15 years of therapeutical experience concerned with neoplastic pleural effusions from malignant epithelial tumours.

[Regenerative gastritis of the peptic ulcer: cytological diagnosis and cytohistological correlation (author's transl)].

The AA., having already illustrate the cytohistological characteristics of regenerative gastritis of the peptic ulcer, propose some differential cytological criteria with regard serious chronic atrophic gastritis and differentiated adenocarcinoma. The AA. conclude, also as result of reviewing their survey (621 cases) that the perfect knowledge of such criteria that any dubious cytological diagnosis and mistaken positives can be reduced to accettable terms.
