[Vasculitis. Immunological, anatomo-clinical and therapeutic study (author's transl)].

Vasculitis may give rise to different clinical symptoms according to the vessels involved, but its pathology is always the same: inflammation and, sometimes, necrosis of blood vessels. Most vasculitis are associated with immune mechanisms, notably formation of immune complexes. Infections, drug reactions and systemic or malignant diseases are sometimes accompanied with vasculitis, but they do not confer specificity to the anatomo-clinical picture. A classification of the various types of vasculitis including these factors provides a more rational approach to therapy. It must be remembered, in particular, that corticosteroids and cytotoxic agents, already used successfully in Wegener's granulomatosis, have a place in the treatment of other forms of systemic necrotizing vasculitis.

[Value of the study of plasma estrogens in the exploration of gynecomastia. Apropos of 48 cases].

Starting from 48 cases of gynecomastia, the authors report the following findings: -- Impairment of the testis function, as assessed by a low plasma level of testosterone, is rare. -- Basal values of gonadotropins are generally normal. -- Increased oestrogen urinary excretion and blood level are rarely found but, when present, they tend to decrease at successive evaluations. -- In six cases, plasmatic oestradiol can be suppressed by dexamethasone; although the small number of cases does not allow a definite conclusion, one might suggest a predominant adrenal source of plasmatic oestradiol.
