We studied whether or not HLA-A,B,C and DR antigens were associated with clinical and immunological findings in 116 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Japan. SLE patients tended to be associated with HLA-DR2, compared with 75 healthy individuals. Among the SLE patients, there was an association between HLA antigens and the presence or absence of certain clinical or immunological features. Different HLA antigens might have a predictive value for SLE and/or the same clinical and immunological abnormalities between Caucasian and Japanese SLE patients.

The laboratory and pathological findings are reported for 16 children with membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and compared with those of 12 children with idiopathic MGN. Serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was found in all children with HBV associated MGN and serum hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) in 11 of the 15 examined. Five patients with HBV associated MGN, but none with idiopathic MGN, showed reduced serum C3 values. Otherwise there was no difference in laboratory findings. HBeAg was detected in the glomeruli of all 7 patients with HBV-associated MGN examined but HBsAg was not detected. Of the 14 children with HBV-associated MGN examined by electron microscopy, all but one showed small mesangial deposits and 4 subendothelial deposits, whereas of 9 with idiopathic MGN only 2 showed mesangial deposits and none subendothelial deposits. Thus most of the children with HBV-associated MGN are characterized by some laboratory and pathological features of membrano proliferative glomerulonephritis in addition to those of idiopathic MGN. These observations are consistent with HBV inducing a spectrum of glomerulopathy from typical MGN to typical membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
Intracavernous injection of 40 mg papaverin HCI caused erection sufficient for intromission in all six cases of organic impotence. The patients were taught to self inject one corpus cavernosum just prior to coitus and reported that they were able to have coitus at home. No complications were encountered. This method should be tried first as an alternative to penile implant for patients with organic erectile failure.
