[Study of cortico-melanotropic activities in the anterior pituitary of an anencephalic and a normal newborn].

Immunofluorescence studies by-means of anti-beta (1-24) corticotropin, anti-alpha (17-39) ACTH; anti-beta-MSH were performed on the anterior pituitary of an at-term anencephalic newborn. They showed small and rare cortico-melanotropic cells, as compared to those seen in the anterior pituitary of newborns. The comparison of these data with experimental observations suggest a possible autonomy of corticotropin function, although under hypothalamus control.

[Anatomical study of the kidneys of newborn infants dying after a septic state].

Over a 6 years period, 51 autopsies have been performed in infants dead after severe sepsis. One third of them had renal damages, consisting mainly in haemorrhagic infiltration. Pathological and clinical data are not always well correlated, but some parameters may enhance a poorer renal prognosis, such as the duration of shock and anuria, or exchange transfusion. The clinical presentation of the infection and the encountered germs are the same in both groups, with or without renal damage. A better management of intensive haemodynamic cares in these neonates increases their survival rate and raises the problem of chronic renal failure or hypertension in this situation. It seems very useful to state precisely the surveillance and protection of the renal function in such patients.
