Effects of arotinolol on serum lipid and apolipoprotein levels in patients with mild essential hypertension.

Nineteen patients with mild essential hypertension received 20 mg of arotinolol daily for 12 weeks. The patients' systolic and diastolic blood pressures and pulse rate decreased significantly after arotinolol. The ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A-I decreased significantly after treatment. No significant changes were observed in serum and lipoprotein lipid levels, apolipoprotein levels, or in the ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The results indicate that arotinolol is an effective antihypertensive agent with favorable effect on apolipoproteins.

Lupus erythematosus cells in pleural fluid cytologic diagnosis in two patients.

Lupus erythematosus (LE) cells were demonstrated inpleural fluids from two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). They were observed in preparations stained with the Giemsa and the Papanicolaou stains. The finding of LE cells in serous fluid has rarely been reported. Our results suggest that it is imporant to search for LE cells in serous fluid in patients in whom the diagnosis of SLE has not been established.
