Use of simethicone as a patient preparation for abdominal sonography.

Fifty-eight patients about to undergo abdominal ultrasonography were randomly assigned into groups receiving preparation with oral simethicone and into control groups. A percentage value of sound transmission through the abdomen was calculated for each patient using sonographic measurements taken from a series of prescribed scans by a sonographer unaware of the patient preparation employed. Results indicate a statistically significant improvement in through sound transmission for those groups receiving simethicone preparation.

Paraproteinaemia in Sézary syndrome.

We have observed non-myelomatous monoclonal hypergammaglobulinaemia in a 61-year-old man with Sézary syndrome. Similar cases have not been reported before. Sézary cells of patients studied by other investigators were found to be helper T cells. The abundant production of T-lymphocytic stimuli may possibly explain in our case the occurrence of a paraprotein.

[Necroses following the use of Pyoktanin].

In a patient suffering from chronic balanitis, necrotic lesions of the glans penis and the internal part of the prepuce occurred when treated with 1% gentian violet. Necrosis after treatment with gentian violet is a rarely seen complication which should be borne in mind.

Epicutaneous induction of hyporeactivity in contact sensitization. Demonstration of suppressor cells induced by contact with 2,4-dinitrothiocyanatebenzene.

Partial unresponsiveness to 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) was produced by the epicutaneous application of 2 per cent 2,4-dinitrothiocyanatebenzene (DNTB) to the dorsum of the ear, 14 and 7 days before sensitization. This state of partial unresponsiveness could be broken by treatment with 300 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CY) 3 days before the sensitization dose of DNFB. There was a significant increase in the uptake of 125I-labelled iododeoxyuridine in the draining lymph node, 6 days after the application of 2 per cent DNTB and in the contralateral nodes at 4 and 6 days. The state of partial unresponsiveness to DNFB was not associated with a decrease in T-cell proliferation in the draining lymph nodes. The generation of suppressor cells, capable of reacting in the periphery, was demonstrated by passive cell transfer into recipients sensitized to DNFB and depleted of normally produced suppressor cells by pretreatment with CY. These cells were found in spleen and peritoneal exudates of animals treated by the epicutaneous application of 2 per cent DNTB 14 and 7 days previously. It is suggested that the suppressor cells induced by contact with DNTB act by competition with effector cells at the periphery.
