[Initial results of a simple immunological study of E.N.T. carcinomas (author's transl)].

45 patients suffering from carcinomas of the upper airway and digestive tract were studied from an immunological standpoint, by estimation of serum immunoglobulins and by a series of skin tests. This latter technique gave the most interesting results. It showed that immunodepression is statistically more frequent in extensive forms and that the prognosis in immunodepressed patients is much more severe than in those who have retained normal immune reactions.

[Intraepiploic pancreatic autograft in dogs. Blood sugar changes as compared with a group of pancreatectomized dogs].

The authors used the omentum to envelop thin pancreatic fragments (10 to 18 g. i.e. 1/3 to 1/2 of the canine pancreas). After control of the blood sugar, a total corporo-caudal pancreatectomy was carried out in 21 dogs within 1 to 5 months. Nine survivors from one week to 3 months, permitted them to control the course of the blood sugar with biopsies of the graft and the absence of residual pancreas in the duodeno-hepatic region at autopsy. Compared with a comparative series of 11 dogs which survived total pancreatectomy and required 8 to 22 units of long-acting insulin, the series with autotransplants within the omentum, showed a moderate increase in blood sugar (1,1 to 1,1 g/l). However, progressive or acute cachexia with digestive disorders, frequently fistula of the sub-cutaneous graft were observed. In spite of the progressive and attenuated character of the diabetes, the preservation of secreting endocrine pancreatic islets is only temporary as shown by the histological controls.

[Radio-electrogastro-enterographic correlations (author's transl)].

Recording of the electro-gastro-enterogram (E.G.E.G.) and the simultaneous taking of a 70 mm ampliphotography series shows the high degree of correlation between E.G.E.G. and peristaltis, with characteristic waves for each part of the digestive tract, both in the normal condition as well as in certain pathological states. The future and role of the E.G.E.G. appear very promising, on the one hand by virtue of its simplicity and secondly because of the information it is capable of providing from a functional viewpoint. In no case, however, can it replace the precise nature of radiological images.
