A prospective study on Candida as a gastric opportunistic germ.

Report of results from a study on the presence of Candida as a stomach opportunistic germ in 149 patients consecutively undergoing gastroscopy. Candida was isolated in 23 patients (15.4%). None of the following factors influenced the appearance of the fungus as an opportunist in the stomach: age, sex, smoking, alcohol intake, associated systemic diseases, concomitant gastroduodenal diseases or gastric histological findings. The only favoring factor revealed was that of cardiotonic treatment in 43.5% of the patients with a positive outcome, and in 15.1% of those with a negative outcome (p less than 0.01). Species isolated were Candida albicans in 15 patients (65.2%), Candida tropicalis, Candida pseudo-tropicalis and Candida glabrata in 2 patients each (8.7%), Candida krusei and Candida guillermondi in 1 patient each.

[Toxic cholestatic hepatitis secondary to chrysotherapy].

An unusual case of cholestatic toxic hepatitis observed during the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with gold salts (colloidal sulphide) is reported. The primarily histological diagnosis was supported by the absence of hepatotoxic drugs and the ruling out of other forms of liver disease. Furthermore, the histological picture fitted that described in the few cases in the international literature.

Gastric lipid islands in the gastric stump and in non-operated stomach.

The lipid islands in the gastric mucosa are small, well delimited white or yellowish-white patches varying in diameter from 0.5 to 3 millimeters. Microscopically they constitute accumulations of macrophages full of lipids. This endoscopic and histological finding was observed in 0.38% of patients who had not undergone gastric resection, and in 18.0% of those who had the intervention, the basis being a case-list of 1381 endoscopic examinations of the upper digestive tract. The endoscopic and histological aspects and the clinical correlations of the gastric lipid islands are discussed, emphasizing the importance of biliary reflux as an etiological factor. The presence of gastric lipid islands must be considered as the expression of a prolonged inflammatory process of the gastric mucosa.

Peripheral nerve involvement in familial spastic paraplegia.

A sural nerve biopsy specimen was obtained from a 16-year-old girl affected by a clinically uncomplicated form of familial spastic paraplegia. The electron microscopic study evidenced degenerative changes in some large myelinated fibers. Onion bulb formations and clusters of small myelinated fibers were also observed. Quantitative determinations showed a decreased density of the large myelinated fibers and a mild decrease in the percentage of the endoneural area covered by the myelinated fibers. The unmyelinated fibers were uninvolved except for their participation in onion bulb formations.

[Medullary plasmocytosis in urologically silent Grawitz' tumor].

Three cases of urologically silent Grawitz' tumour detected by a pathological blood picture marked by marrow plasmacytosis are presented. The importance of paraneoplastic syndromes in this tumour form is discussed. The association observed is common and its classification as a paraneoplastic syndrome is examined.

Effect of anticholinergic drugs on gastro-intestinal absorption of L-dopa in rats and in man.

Plasma L-DOPA levels in rats receiving L-DOPA by the oral route were decreased by the concomitant administration of trihexyphenidyl. Following systemic L-DOPA administration no differences were observed between control and trihexyphenidyl-treated rats. Effects similar to those of trihexyphenidyl were observed with atropine. These results indicate that trihexyphenidyl decreases L-DOPA gastrointestinal absorption probably by delaying gastric emptying. The presence in humans of this interaction between the two antiparkinsonian drugs was suggested by similar findings made either in a group of normal volunteers or in a group of parkinsonian patients. These observations suggest that at the clinical level in selected cases the concomitant administration of trihexyphenidyl to patients receiving L-DOPA may decrease the therapeutic efficacy of L-DOPA by reducing its gastrointestinal absorption.
