Clefts of the lip and palate in twins: use of DNA fingerprinting for zygosity determination.

The study of twins is a well-established method for evaluating the relative roles of heredity and environmental factors in the etiology of diseases. Conclusions depend on zygosity determination and on the classification of minor forms of diseases. This paper reports on ten (5 mono- and 5 dizygotic) out of thirteen twin pairs among 1039 patients with cleft lip and palate (n = 677) or cleft palate (n = 362). Zygosity was determined using "DNA fingerprinting" on blood samples in all 10 pairs and on cleft-associated tissue in one pair. Including minor forms of clefting, two of five pairs of monozygotic and two of five pairs of dizygotic twins of the same sex showed concordance. "DNA fingerprinting" should be established as a definitive method for zygosity determination, and the calculation of concordance rates should always include minor forms of diseases.

Oral manifestations of Wegener's granulomatosis. Review of the literature and report of a case.

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare granulomatous vasculitis which used to run a fatal course. At present, it is possible to control or sometimes even cure the disease with immunosuppressives. Successful treatment depends largely on early diagnosis. Based on a review of the literature, the diagnostic relevance of hyperplastic gingivitis (HG) is discussed. HG should be considered an early sign of WG in contrast to oral ulcers.

[Indication and technic of thrombectomy in the therapy of thrombosis].

The problems of appropriate treatment of thrombosis are as follow: 1. the prevention of a lung-embolus, 2. the rapid rehabilitation of the venous circulation, 3. the avoidance of a post-thrombotic syndrom. The best ways of meeting these demands are through fibrinolysis as well as by operative treatment (thrombectomy). According to the author's findings, 58 cases of thrombectomy of acute, deep thrombosis of the veins have been reported with regards to the indication and technic of this method of treatment of thrombosis. Indications for thrombectomy are phlegmasia coerulea dolens and the occurrence of a mobile thrombosis as well as an unsuccessful treatment with fibrinolysis.

[Pull through operation for endometriosis of the recto-sigmoid].

Case report on endometriosis of the recto-sigmoid which caused intestinal stenosis. Concomitant endometriosis of the right ovary was removed by a right salpingo-oophorectomy. The recto-sigmoid endometriosis was resected and intestinal continuity established by the pull through method of Hollenbach preserving the anal sphincter. The patient was well 6 years following the operation.
