[Anatomoclinical correlations in postoperative acute thyrotoxic crisis].

Analysis of 26 cases with thyreotoxic crisis following surgery on an anatomo-clinical basis shows an extensive lesional polymorphism in the stroma and the parenchyma of the thyroid gland, indicating the absence of morphologic remission after preoperative preparation. Prolonged preoperative treatment, following evident clinical improvement, may avoid the development of postoperative crisis.

[Cancer of the upper gastric pole--possibilities and limitations].

An analysis of the cases encountered over the last 5 years revealed a high frequency of gastric cancers located in the upper pole area of the stomach. These represented 23% of all gastric cancers. The low number of cases with this localization that could benefit from gastric resection (38,7%), in contrast with distal locations (65,4%) suggest either late detection or high invading potential of these cancers. Oeso-gastric resection - the only efficient curative or palliative treatment - was adapted according to site and extension of the tumour in both organs. In 6 cases partial resection of the thoracic oesophagus was necessary, and in another 4 cases total gastrectomy was performed. In 8 patients upper polar resection - including the oesophagus - was satisfactory from the oncologic viewpoint, and was well-tolerated by the patients.

[Incidence and prevalence of chronic pulmonary tuberculosis in the Cîmpulung-Argeş district 1972-1980].

The study concerns 53 cases of chronic and hyperchronic pulmonary tuberculosis followed over a period of 9 years (1972-1980). These cases are analysed from the viewpoint of the frequency of the disease in relation to age, sex and environment, as well as from the viewpoint of the localization, morphology, and bacteriology of the lesions. References are further made to causes which lead to chronicization of pulmonary tuberculosis starting from the cases in this group. The efficiency of the strictly supervised treatment is evaluated by the dynamics of chronic pulmonary tuberculosis over the 9 year period, as well as problems related to socio-professional rehabilitation of the patients.

Gastrin cells in stomach and duodenal ulcers.

By means of cytochemical and electron microscopy methods, the behavior of gastrin cells in ulcers of the stomach and duodenum were investigated. The study was performed on specimens of surgical resection from stomach and duodenal ulcers with gastric normacidity. The results point out a significant decrease of gastrin cells in stomach ulcers in comparison with the duodenal ones. These findings in stomach ulcers were attributed to the high intensity of gastritis lesions, histopathologically evidenced. Electron microscopy revealed that gastrin cells were loaded with secretion granules presenting suggestive images of synthesis activity.
