[Scleral control of cryotherapy in the treatment of retinal detachment].

The necessary condition for the creation of a chorioretinal scar is the freezing of the pigment epithelium (associated with that of the choroid during cryoapplication). In the case of retinal detachment, when the indentation of the cryode permits one to reach the detached retina, one can use the retinal control of the cryoapplication, i.e. the whitening of the retina. When the cryode indentation does not reach the detached retina, one must not wait for the retinal whitening for it produces a considerable over-application to the choroid during the time it takes for the ice to go through the subretinal fluid. In these cases, it is proposed to observe the development of the freezing area in the sclera on each side of the cryode. When it reaches 1 mm, it has the depth required to freeze the choroid and pigment epithelium. During this procudure, the sclera must not be indented. One is therefore certain thanks to the scleral control, not to freeze the retina or the vitreous and thus secondary retinal-vitreal complications.

[Experimental examinations about the proliferation and radiotherapy after administration of Vincristin and Adriamycin (author's transl)].

Cytophotometric examinations of solid carcinomas of Ehrlich in mice don't show a considerable cyto-cinetic effect after administration of Vincristin. On the other hand, Adriamycin causes in the same tumor a significant stop in the G2 + M phase with a synchronization factor of 1,4 to 1,5 related to G2. The following experiment with the combined Adriamycin and radiotherapy demonstrates with a statistical significance lying about 5% that an immediate radiotherapeutic success can be obtained which is even increased by a partial synchronization. A considerably enriched G2 + M phase as a result of the administration of Adriamyzin is proven by a first cyto-cinetic examination of human cancerous tissue. A possible clinical therapy scheme is discussed.

[Treatment of diabetic retinopathy by centripetal pan-retinal photocoagulation with the argon laser].

The argon laser is such an effective method of treating diabetic retinopathy that it is used in the early stages. The indications for treatment are related either to ophthalmoscopically visible lesion, or to lesions revealed by angiography, which is necessary each year in all diabetics. As for as technique goes, it is desirable to begin pan-retinal photocoagulation in the periphery so as to take advantage of the drying out of the related oedema secondary to the destruction of the retina.
