Immunological studies of patients with tumours of the prostate and bladder (a retrospective analysis).

A total of 25 patients with bladder tumour and 35 with prostatic tumour were tested for humoral and cellular immune responsiveness in 1977. Information on the subsequent course of disease was collected 5 years later and confronted with the results of these tests. The most marked deviations in the values of acute-phase proteins, complement and lymphocyte transformation tests were found in those patients who had died within the first year of the investigations. The results approached or attained the normal values parallel with the survival times. The parameters studied thus seem to lend themselves to diagnostic and monitoring purposes.

[Clinical value of immunologic studies in patients with bladder tumors].

By means of mathematical calculations the authors tried to find correlations between the clinical and histological stages of vesical tumours and the results of immunological tests. Density calculation showed what parameters follow the degrees of malignity. Moreover the significance of the chain and basic proportional factors of the parameters calculated for diagnosis and follow-up is pointed out.

[Cholesterol elimination in the urinary tract].

The case of a 50-year-old female patient who had been passing "calculi" containing cholesterol for 10 years is presented. Previously, abdominal surgical interventions had been carried out several times and therefore a fistula between the digestive and urogenital system was suspected. This, however, could not be confirmed either by radiological or laboratory techniques. A II/a type of hyperlipoproteinemia was found in the serum, but its correlation to the calculi could be excluded.

The investigation of cellular and humoral immune reactivity in patients with tumours of the bladder.

The authors investigated the cellular immune reactivity by measuring the lymphocyte blast transformation, immune globulins and some glycoproteins in the sera of patients with papilloma and carcinoma of the bladder. They found a change in the cellular immune reactivity, but none in immune globulin concentration. Among the glycoproteins the acute phase reactant proteins changed significantly.

Study of hydroxyproline excretion in patients with prostatic cancer.

Urinary hydroxproline concentrations were measured in 36 prostatic cancer patients. Metastases were ruled out by radiography in 24, and confirmed in 12 cases.14 patients with no malignant disease served as controls. In patients with no metastases excretion was similar to that in the controls, in some of them it was higher. In the patients with higher values the studies were repeated six months later: deposits were found in all cases but one. In the group in which deposits had been present at the outset the values of the untreated patients were significantly higher than in the controls, whereas in the treated patients no consistent values were found.

[Clinical and immunological studies in patients with prostatic tumors].

The authors examined the cellular and humoral immune reactivity in patients with carcinomas of the prostate gland and determined several glycoproteins. The blastic transformation of lymphocytes was found significantly decreased. However, the concentrations of the immune globulins were not changed. Significantly changes were the glycoproteins belonging to the group of the "acute phase reactant proteins" and the complement titre in the serum. On account of the decreased immune reactivity the authors propose an immune therapy in the carcinoma of the prostate gland.

[Indication for operation in acute kidney obstruction caused by urinary calculi].

We like to discuss the comment of our clinic: In case of an acute stone-conditioned renal blockage complicated by fever we immediately perform a decompression by means of elevation of the ureter catheter and the antibiotic therapy. A shivering attack accompanied by fever we regard as a threatening sign of pyelonephritis apostematosa and possibly after the first or second shivering attack we perform an opening. Apart from emphasizing the importance of the shivering attack we still might refer to the fact that for the establishment of the therapy of choice the complex evaluation of the clinical picture is necessary.

Study of nonspecific lymphocyte transformation in urologic cancer patients.

Blast-cell transformation of lymphocytes in response to phytohaemagglutinin was examined in patients with urologic tumours and with nonmalignant urologic processes. A significant depression of immune reactivity was found in the malignant cases. The practical aspects of the findings are discussed.

A surgical case of Grawitz's tumour of cystous appearance.

A surgical case of coexisting renal cyst and tumour is reported, diagnosis having been made preoperatively with the aid of two recent diagnostic procedures. Electron microscopic study of the surgical specimen revealed virus-like intranuclear particles in the malignant tissue.

[Mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis].

After a brief review of the pertaining literature, the case of a 63 year old male patient with a histologically confirmed mesothelioma starting from the tunica vaginalis of the testis is described. The rare tumour developed after an injury of the testis suffered 15 years earlier.
