[Determination of antimicrobial activity of a combination of acidamfenicol, clotrimazole and dexamethasone in vitro (author's transl)].

The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the antieczematic Bay f 4797 was studied. This combination drug contains the three active components acidamfenicol, clotrimazole and dexamethasone (prospective trade name: Baycuten). Various bacterial and fungal species of importance in dermatology served as test organisms. All the bacterial strains examined were found to be moderately susceptible to acidamfenicol; clotrimazole showed good inhibitory values agaisnt all the fungal species and the gram-positive bacterial strains. Additionally it was checked whether a synergistic or antagonistic interaction occurs with respect to the antimicrobial activity. An interference which could lead to impairment of the therapeutic activity was not observed.

[Long-term observation of fungal and other skin disorders after renal transplantation (author's transl)].

All of 68 renal transplant recipients (mean observation time 28.4 months after transplantation) showed skin complications. In these subjects fungal infection was found in 51, viral disease in 45 and bacterial infection in 36 cases. Of fungal manifestations candidiasis, onychomycosis, and dermatomycosis were most commonly observed. The most important viral disease was herpes simplex. The main part of bacterial infections was either caused by surgical complications or by super-infection (impetigo) of steroid acne. Non infectious dermatological disorders were usually due to immunosuppressive therapy.

[Porphyrinsynthesis by propionibacterium acnes (author's transl)].

Strains of P.a. were isolated from seborrheic filaments from 11 persons and investigated according to their production of porphyrins. After growing the organisms during a 5 resp. 10 days cultivation period on solid as well as in liquid culture medium the quantity and quality of the bacterial porphyrins were determined. There existed intense variations in quantity not only when the special strains were compared with each other but also when the same strains were treated with different preparations. The porphyrin-spectrum, as demonstrated by thin-layer-chromatography, showed porphyrins with 2--8 carboxyclic groups, the coproporphyrin standing out in most cases as the most intense band.

[Concordant medullary thyroid carcinoma in identical twins with discordant phaeochromocytoma (Sipple syndrome) (author's transl)].

The first case of Sipple syndrome in identical twins is reported. It is concluded that the concordant medullary carcinoma of the thyroid is the result of a germinal mutation, whilst the discordant solitary phaeochromocytoma is caused by a somatic mutation according to the two mutation model. The practical conclusion to be drawn from this report is that if one identical twin develops carcinoma of the thyroid or a phaeochromocytoma, the other twin should be throughly investigated and surgical exploration undertaken, even in the absence of clinical evidence of disease.

[Dermatological complications after renal transplantation (author's transl)].

58 renal transplant patients were submitted to dermatological check-up investigations at regular intervals over a mean period of 26.2 months after surgery. 98% of the case material showed dermatological complications. In an analysis of the findings in 55 patients with infectious complications, viral infections occurred in 40, bacterial in 30 and mycotic infections in 20 patients. Dermatological manifestations of non-dermatological complications were mainly due to immunosuppressive therapy. The data stress the necessity of optimum cooperation between dermatologists and the attendant physician in the case of renal transplant patients.

[The malignant struma. Pathological anatomy and functional criteria].

Description of the pathological anatomy of thyroid cancer with classification into carcinomas, sarcomas and special forms of tumors. Concerning the carcinomas of the thyroid gland, the malignant papilloma (papillary carcinoma) and the medullary amyloid- and calcitonin-producing carcinoma deserve special consideration because of their small malignancy and therefore favourable prognosis. Also the proliferating struma Langhans does not come up to "real" carcinomas (organoid structure of the tumor tissue) concerning the growing speed. All other types of carcinomas, as well as sarcomas, are fast growing malignant tumors, which also place metastases early. The metastasizing struma-adenoma is not a malignant tumor in the sense of the term. In addition, it is necessary to refer to the existing difficulties in marking off clearly structurally sarcomatous tumors of the thyroid gland from carcinomas. Besides, one must emphasize, that thyreostatic substances, also ionizing rays (i.e. radioiodine) can produce considerable tissue-changes with cell polymorphia and that a considerable increase in the number of large-cell eosinophilic adenomas (oncocytomas, Hürthle-cell adenomas) exists. The sclerosizing microcarcinoma (Graham's tumor) is not a carcinoma in the sense of the term.

[The brown coloring of the permanent cartilage tissue in old age (author's transl)].

The brown coloring of the permanent cartilage tissue in old age (demonstrated at the rib cartilage) is to be related to pigment deposition in cartilage cells and ground substance. There is a granular pigment present, which probably is a chromolipid. Unstained histological slides are best suitable for the presentation of pigments. In epiphysial joint cartilage (transitory cartilage tissue) the pigmentation of aging usually is only suggested. The appearance of pigment granulas is accompanied by various regressive alterations of cartilage tissue, especially with eosinophilia of the ground substance.
