[Hepatic activity of glutathione transferase and bromsulphalein metabolism].

The gluthatione transferase activity has been studied in liver biopsies from patients suffering with different hepatic lesion and related to the bromsulphalein (BSP) maximal transport (MT) and the conjugated dye present in serum. Results prove that the MT of BSP is independent of the enzyme activity, but is correlated to the conjugated BSP present in serum during the first perfusion. The enzyme activity, the MT of BSP and BSP conjugated rare in serum are not related to the liver lesion stage. From the analysis of our results we conclude that in the beginning the BSP conjugated proportion is determined by the enzyme activity which is not a restrictive factor of the BSP maximal transport.

Small bowel enema in non-responsive coeliac disease.

A small bowel enema was performed in patients with non-responsive coeliac disease, in coeliac patients on a normal diet (untreated) and those who had shown a good response to a gluten free diet, and in control subjects to determine whether there were any specific radiological features of the non-responsive state. A significant reduction in the average number of jejunal folds and an increase in the number of ileal folds (reversal of the jejunoileal fold pattern) was found in eight of nine non-responsive coeliac patients, one of seven untreated coeliac patients, and in none of the good responders or control subjects. This pattern identifies coeliac patients with a poor response to a gluten free diet who are likely to suffer major complications.

[Multiple familial trichodiscoma].

Trichodiscomas are hamartomas of the pilar apparatus, and have been described alone or associated to other benign proliferations of the pilar complex. Two familial cases of trichodiscomas not associated to pilar alterations or systemic manifestations are described.

[Metastatic alopecia].

Two cases of metastasic alopecia from breast adenocarcinoma were reported. Clinical and differential aspects from other types of alopecia are also commented.

[Granular cell tumor of the skin].

Two adult males with cutaneous granular cell myoblastoma, localized on the leg and pubic area, are described. Atypical localizations of Abrikossoff's tumor are reviewed pointing out that the upper trunk is the most frequent of these localizations. Histopathogenesis of that tumour is also considered.

[The Winer dilated pore].

Dilated pore (Winer) is a not uncommon adnexal benign tumor with follicular differentiation. Clinically the lesion looks like a giant comedo, usually located on the facial area of the elderly. Due to annular elevation of the borders, differential diagnosis needs to be made with basal cell epithelioma and senile sebaceous adenoma. The histology shows a typical infundibular dilatation with subinfundibular atrophy of hair structures. The authors report two typical cases of this badly known but not infrequent lesions.

[Lever's facial granuloma. Study using direct immunofluorescence in 2 cases].

Cases of two 48 and 55 year-old males affected of facial granuloma with eosinophilia are presented. In both cases direct immunofluorescence studies revealed the presence of IgG, IgA and C3 along the basement membrane. A brief comments on clinical and histological appearance, previous immunofluorescence studies, pathogenesis and treatment are made.

[Complications of endoscopic sclerosis of esophageal varices].

In recent years endoscopic sclerotherapy of esophageal varices has proliferated enormously, but the technique is not free of complications, which can be divided into three large areas, depending on the moment when they appear: complications due to technical errors, early complications and late complications. The authors analyze the complications in 105 patients who had a total of 385 sclerosis sessions. After describing the results and discussing them, it is concluded that the use of adequate material and sufficient technical experience are the best guarantee against the first type of complications, that hemorrhage is the most common early complication and that esophageal stenosis is the most frequent late complication. Finally, the existence of postsclerotherapy pseudo-polyps, which are asymptomatic, can pose a differential diagnosis with benign or malignant tumors of the distal third of the esophagus.
