[Neurinoma of the tongue].

The authors describe one case of neurinoma of the tongue, recently come to their observation, and offer a clinical and anatomopathological presentation of this heteroplasia. In the light of a careful search of existing literature they estimate the incidence of this tumor both versus neurinoma located elsewhere in the body versus pathological processes located in the tongue. In particular, they call attention to problems of differential diagnosis posed by neurinoma in clinical terms and in the pathologist's laboratory, in relation to other tumors and infectious processes observed in the tongue.

[Studies of diseases caused by hepatitis B virus on the island of Favignana].

731 serum samples were drawn from inhabitants of Favignana (Egadi Islands, total population 3,000). Presence of HBsAg and anti HBs was tested by R.I.A. Although only two cases of B Virus Hepatitis had been observed in the last 3 years, the overall positivity for HBsAg was 4.8% and for anti HBs 31.6%, showing a distribution by age and sex comparable to that observed in similar studies. The rather high prevalence of HBsAg in males over 70 deserves further investigations.

Gonadal karyotyping in women with and without ovarian activity.

Results of gonadal karyotyping on 26 patients with cyclic or acyclic ovarian activity and hypogonadotropic or hypergonadotropic hypogonadism are presented. Gonadal culture growth, with the exception of tissue from polycystic ovaries, was usually successful. With one exception, leukocytic and gonadal karyotypes were concordant. Normal ovarian function did not appear to be limited to ovaries of the 46,XX karyotype.

In vitro synthesis of a thyroglobulin precursor by porcine thyroid membrane-bound ribosomes in a heterologous cell-free system.

The synthesis of a thyroglobulin precursor directed by endogenous messenger RNA has been achieved in a heterologous cell-free system containing porcine thyroid membrane-bound ribosomes and rat brain cortex cell sap. The main features of the system, such as ion and nucleotide requirements, temperature, dependence, inhibitors sensitivity, and ability to reinitiate, were studied. The nature of the product has been determined by specific immunoprecipitation and its size has been estimated by sucrose density gradient and sodium dodecyl sulfate acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Under our conditions, the thyroglobulin precursor was mainly synthesized by membrane-bound ribosomes.

Amoxycillin and ampicillin. A comparative study of in vitro sensitivity and induced morphological alterations in Serratia marcescens.

In vitro antibacterial activities of ampicillin and amoxycillin were compared against pigmented and non-pigmented strains of Serratia marcescens. Ampicillin appeared more effective than amoxycillin; three-fourths of all strains consistently exhibited an ampicillin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of at least one tube less than that recorded for amoxycillin. Complete cross resistance was not observed as has previously been inferred. Further, greater bactericidal activity was demonstrated with ampicillin; minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) were either the same as or one tube greater than the MIC. MBC's for amoxycillin, however, were significantly higher; often four to five times greater than the MIC. Ampicillin exhibited greater bactericidal activity as inferred from differences observed in the biological lesions induced, as recorded through observations by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Spheroplasts were the predominant morphological alteration induced by ampicillin. In contrast, only filament formation, which demonstrated a degree of reversibility, was induced by amoxycillin.
