[Clinical experience with NK 631 in malignant tumors of skin (author's transl)].

NK 631, a new derivative of bleomycin, was clinically used in 14 cases of malignant tumors of skin. The results obtained were remarkably effective in 7 cases, effective in 3 cases, slightly effective in 2 cases and ineffective in 2 cases. The effective ratio was 71% when calculated regarding slightly effective as ineffective. Compared with bleomycin, we were impressed that the side effects observed with NK 631 were similar to those with bleomycin, but the influences for lung were smaller and slighter than the latter.

[A case of cerebral vascular disease associated with prosopagnosia and minor hemisphere syndrome (author's transl)].

A case of "apractognosia", a syndrome of minor hemisphere, and prosopagnosia was described. A 68 years old, right handed, hypertensive man who had experienced an episode of left hemiparesis of several weeks' duration developed a syndrome of minor hemisphere, metamorphopsia, visuoconstructive disability, spatial dysgraphia, topographical and geographical disorientation and dressing apraxia, with associated left homonymous hemianopsia. A right occipital lesion was disclosed by an isotopic brain scan and a CT scan. The CT scan also disclosed a generalized cerebral atrophy. Memory disturbance, both verbal and visual, was observed. Verbal memory was examined by coupled words test, digit span and 10-words learning test, and visual memory by spatial pointing span and memorizing unfamiliar faces. The patient was able to differentiate unfamiliar faces, but was not able to memorize them correctly. Although the patient has complained of a disturbance of recognizing familiar faces (prosopagnosia), but actually, sometimes he was able to recognize the members of his family by the faces and sometimes he was not. He has stated that he could not recall familiar faces. The authors suggested prosopagnosia is, as Benton (1975) has supposed, considered to be the limited disorders of memory and association.

Circumscribed carcinoma of the uterine cervix, with marked lymphocytic infiltration.

The present study was carried out to investigate a distinctive type of carcinoma of the uterine cervix categorized under the designation as circumscribed carcinoma with lymphocytic infiltration. Grossly this carcinoma is characterized by defined circumscription with a superficial ulceration. A microscropic feature characteristic of this tumor is the presence of a loose fibrillary stroma infiltrated densely and uniformly by lymphocytes throughout the tumor mass. The tumor is arranged in solid cords separated by a lymphoid stroma with evidence of minimal squamous differentiation. The authors picked up 709 patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix who underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy at the Cancer Institute Hospital, Tokyo, between 1956-1967, without preoperative radio- or chemotherapy. Among them, 39 or 5.5% were identified as this type of carcinoma. Patients with this types of carcinoma had a significantly better prognosis than those with other types of cervical carcinoma of the same stage (p less than 0.05). This favorable prognosis is probably due to the less regional node metastases found in the group. A proposal was made to segregate this particular type of carcinoma from other types of cervical carcinoma on the basis of its morphologic and prognostic distinctiveness.

Acute multiple gastric ulcers in the pyloric antrum.

Acute prepyloric hemorrhagic erosions occasionally progress to symmetrical ulcers. Cytomegalic inclusion bodies were frequently seen, a history of alimentary allergens, excessive alcohol intake or coffee drinking was common. Hyperchlorhydria which decreased spontaneously was found in 89% during the acute attack.

Micro-determination of bromine in biological samples using proton-induced x-ray emission spectroscopy.

The plasma level of bromine was measured by a proton-induced X-ray emission spectroscopy. Since bromine is the most difficult halogen to be determined and appears only in trace quantities, powerful techniques are required. The excellent reproducibility was obtained on 19 measurements on a sample of a single individual; the coefficient of variation was 6.3%. The average and standard deviation of plasma bromine levels on 47 young women were 0.50 and 0.10 mg/100 ml, respectively. Results by other methods in the literature were briefly reviewed.
