Glia-induced morphological differentiation in neuroblastoma cells.

Glial cells release a factor into their culture medium that induces a high degree of morphological differentiation in neuroblastoma cells under normal growth conditions. This phenomenon is not correlated with a change in intracellular adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate or in the rate of cell growth. Media from other cell lines tested induce less morphological differentiation or have no effect.

Infections with Chryseomonas luteola (CDC group Ve-1) and Flavimonas oryzihabitans (CDC group Ve-2) in neurosurgical patients.

During a 20-month period at Temple University Hospital, three cases of infection with bacteria of the Ve group--Chryseomonas luteola (CDC group Ve-1) and Flavimonas oryzihabitans (CDC group Ve-2)--were seen in neurosurgical patients. Two of the patients, including one with what is thought to be the first reported case of meningitis due to C. luteola, had complications caused by prosthetic material. A review of the literature revealed 14 well-described cases of infection with C. luteola or F. oryzihabitans, the majority of which were cases of bacteremia or peritonitis in patients undergoing dialysis. The presence of foreign material and the use of corticosteroids may predispose to and influence the course of disease. As prosthetic material becomes even more widely used, the incidence of infection with bacteria of the Ve group will likely increase and the manifestations of the infections will probably become more varied.

Subphrenic abscess simulating metastatic carcinoma.

Subphrenic abscess is reported in two patients, one previously operated on for pancreatic carcinoma and the other for clear cell carcinoma of the left kidney. The subphrenic abscess presented with cachexia and low grade fever six months and one year after surgery. Metastatic carcinoma was erroneously diagnosed in both patients. Despite massive antibiotic treatment, both patients succumbed to sepsis. Because of the inherent diagnostic challenge, delineation of a subphrenic abscess in cancer patients without clear-cut evidence of a metastatic spread is crucial.
