[Cancer of the colon and rectum in young people].

A review of surgical treatment for cancer of the colon and rectum has shown that 5 of 87 patients were younger than 30 years old. The symptoms were abdominal pain and anemia and were present about 2 years before the hospital admission. The survival after the surgical treatment was, for all patients, 11 months.

[Anastomotic recurrence of colo-rectal cancer. Anatomo-surgical study].

A study was made of 20 patients operated for colorectal cancer with the aid of the University of Chieti Department of Pathological Anatomy. The histological preparations were carefully assessed for intramural diffusion of the tumour, and for the presence of hyperplastic and dysplastic processes in apparently healthy mucosa. The results were in full agreement with those reported in the literature.

[Serological studies of influenza viruses in a sample of the population of Rome].

Haemagglutination inhibiting antibodies (H.I.A.) to influenza viruses A/Victoria/3/75, A/Victoria/112/76, B/Hong Kong/8/73 and A/New Jersey/8/76 were titrated in 1110 serum specimens collected in Rome in the period between March-May 1977 and obtained from subjects 0-60 years old. The H.I.A. protective level (greater than or equal to 1 : 40) found in 21.7% of the sera against A/Victoria/3/75 is such that it does not avoid a possible diffusion of this strain in the successive epidemic season. Moreover this finding suggests that there will be probably no antigenic change (4) in the same period. The age group 0-20 showed the higher titer H.I.A. Low protective levels were found against the virus A/Victoria/112/76 and B/Hong Kong/8/73, while the H.I.A. to virus A/New Jersey/8/76 showed a percentage of protective level increasing with the age.

[Coxsackie B virus infection and cardiopathies].

Neutralizing antibody activity against Coxsackie virus group B, types 1-6, was determined on paired serum samples taken from 16 hospitalized patients affected by acute heart diseases of suspected viral origin. Serum samples were also taken from 4 additional cases of pleuropericarditis observed in the course of a small outbreak of Coxsackie B2 infection. Serological evidence of virus infection was based on the occurrence of the following conditions: a) twofold or greater variation of virus neutralizing antibody; b) antibody titers equal to or greater than 1:256. Evidence of Coxsackie B2 virus infection was found in 12 patients, while Coxsackievirus B1, B3, B5 and B6 infection, respectively, could be associated with 4 cases. The advisability of performing serological examination for Coxsackie group B viruses antibodies in patients with heart diseases of suspected viral origin is emphasized.
