[Vaginal membrane with hydrocolpos and pyocolpos in children (author's transl)].

A child aged 4 1/2 years was found to have secondarily infected retained secretions in the vagina from a vaginal membrane. The authors underline the value of intravenous urography coupled with rectal insufflation, which is essential in order to confirm the diagnosis of colpos and to eliminate any associated urinary malformation.

Intestinal peptidase activity following whole-body irradiation in mice.

Dipeptidase activity (Gly-L-Leucine, L. Leu-Glycine, Gly-L-Phe, L Phe-Gly) was measured in the cytoplasmic fraction of the small bowel mucosa of mice eating three synthetic, defined formula, diets or Purina Chow. The activity/milligram protein of all peptidases was found to be reduced seven days after the last of six weekly exposures to 400 rads (Cobalt 60). The magnitude of reduction varied from half the control value for L-Leu-Glycine peptidase to between one fourth and one fifth the control values for the other three peptidases. These findings may partly explain the improved tolerance to radiation in mice eating a diet containing amino acids (protein hydrolysate) instead of whole protein.
