Increased 125I-labelled concanavalin A binding to erythrocytes in diabetes mellitus.

Percentage binding of 125 I-labelled concanavalin A to erythrocytes in diabetic patients was significantly higher than that in normal subjects (12.2 +/- 2.8 versus 8.1 +/- 1.8%, mean +/- SD, p less than 0.001). Insulin-dependent diabetic patients showed significantly higher concanavalin A binding than non-insulin-dependent diabetic subjects (15.0 +/- 1.4 versus 11.4 +/- 2.5%, p less than 0.01). There was a highly significant correlation between percentage binding of 125I-labelled concanavalin A and glycosylated haemoglobin.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with demonstration of virus-like particles.

Two kinds of virus-like particles, doughnut-shaped particles and particles with dense core, were discovered in a brain tissue from a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The two types of virus-like particles are similar to immature type C and type C particles. although no direct relationship between Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and these virus-like particles can be established, these facts may suggest that viruses play some role in the pathogenesis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
