[Serum gastrin levels in patients with recurrent peptic ulcer].

Serum gastrin behaviour after stimulation with a protein meal was examined in 20 patients of both sexes suffering from x-graphically and endoscopically accertained recurring peptic ulcer, and a marked increase was found in the hormone in the majority of patients when observations were made 15 and 45 minutes after the meal. The genesis of this increase is therefore discussed, with consideration of the importance that extra-gastric sites of production of the hormone may have in such penomenon.

[In vitro thyroid diagnosis in surgery of the thyroid].

After a brief outline of the physiology of the thyroid hormones and the laboratory tests measuring thyroid function, the dosage of normalised T4 (T4N) in patients suffering from various thyroid diseases and subjected to surgical operation is discussed. As the fundamental presupposition of thyroid surgery is that the operation is made in conditions of euthyroidism, the use of a quick and reliable preoperative test giving an exact evaluation of the patient's thyrometabolic conditions is necessary. In conclusion it is stated, on the basis of experience acquired in 90 patients operated for various thyriod diseases, that the last thyrometabolic evaluation can be based on T4N dosage.

[Ultramicroscopic observations on glomic tumors].

Ultra microscopic study of three glomic tumours established the presence in these of myoepithelial cells with a cytoplasma rich in fibrils and deprived of secretory granules. These typical cells are very different of these of chimioreceptors of chromophile system.
