[The relationships between the difficulty of goal attainment and interpersonal attraction].

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the goal attainment difficulty upon interpersonal attraction for the partner. Eighty female undergraduates participated the experiment. They were given tasks with one of four different goal attainment level (very easy, easy, difficult, and very difficult). Each subject solved it with partners of one of three ability levels (superior, similar, inferior to the subject). After the completion of the task, all subjects were requested to evaluate the three partners' instrumental and emotional attractiveness. The main results were as follows: (1) The subjects evaluated the more capable partner as more attractive on the instrumental attraction dimension. (2) The subjects in easy and difficult goal attainment conditions evaluated the superior partner as most attractive on the emotional attraction dimension. While the subjects in very easy and very difficult goal conditions evaluated the similar partner as most attractive on that dimension. These results were discussed in terms of the relationship between the reward value of interaction partner and the task environment.

[Renal failure in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria].

UNLABELLED: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, acquired hemolytic disorder characterized by a membrane abnormality of red cells, and characterized by two major clinical features of gross hemoglobinuria and diffuse venous thrombosis. In Japan, the present report records the first case of acute renal failure complicating PNH with treated by hemodialysis and was almost completely reversible. CASE: A 41 year-old woman was admitted for high fever (39.8 degrees C), dyspnea and clinical signs of a respiratory infection. She was started on Cefotax 1,000 mg 3 times daily. She subsequently developed acute renal failure and which treated by hemodialysis and was almost completely reversible. Following treatment of her renal failure, respiratory infection and anemia, she initially made good progress and was discharged.

[A case of polycystic kidney with bilateral nephrectomy].

A 56-year-old woman in chronic hemodialysis had been suffering from uncontrollable fever for the past 7 months. Her original disease was diagnosed as familial polycystic kidney and three of her five brothers were found to have the same disease. Her chromosome was 46,XX,21P+ and laboratory examination revealed severe anemia, malnutrition, liver dysfunction, pyuria and candidiasis of urine. Abdominal echogram and CT scan revealed polycystic kidneys and multiple liver cysts. She was admitted to our hospital and was diagnosed as having pyelonephritis of the right kidney. As her condition was not improved by conservative therapy right nephrectomy was performed. One month later, spiking fever and left tenderness reappeared. Those symptoms could not be controlled by conservative therapy and left nephrectomy was performed again. Pathological examination on nephrectomized kidneys showed interstitial nephritis, hyaline degeneration and proliferative change of glomeruli, microabscess, colloid of tubules and calcification of parts of Henle's loops. Nephrectomy has been performed in 1.6 to 10.0% of polycystic kidneys due to references since 1952. Eight of the 22 polycystic kidneys (36.3%) seen at our hospital during the past 10 years have been removed.

Autopsy findings in 68 fatal renal transplant recipients, collected from the annuals of pathological autopsy cases in Japan.

This report describes autopsy findings in 68 fatal renal transplant recipients, collected from the Annuals of Pathological Autopsy Cases in Japan, 1981-1985, published by the Japanese Pathological Society. Direct causes of death in renal transplant recipients were mainly infections, bleeding, rejection, and liver dysfunction. Infectious complications were present in forty-one autopsy patients (60.3%). Bronchitis and pneumonia were the most frequent, followed by general infections and peritonitis. Fungal infections were present in twelve cases (17.6%). Bleeding was present in thirty-three autopsy patients (48.5%). Gastrointestinal bleeding was the most frequent, followed by general bleeding, and brain and/or subarachinoid bleeding. Liver diseases were present in twenty-eight autopsy patients (41.2%).

[Study on changes in plasma platinum concentrations after administration of CDDP to maintenance hemodialysis patients].

Changes in plasma platinum concentration after administration of CDDP were studied in six patients on maintenance hemodialysis with malignancies. Plasma exchange was carried out on three patients for the purpose of plasmapheresis. A therapeutic dose of 51 mg/m2 of CDDP was administered to each patient without any severe adverse reactions. Plasma platinum concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and the decay curve of the agent showed a biphasic pattern with an initial steep alpha phase and an ensuing mild beta phase in both hemodialysis patients and normal controls. As these patterns showed no renal excretion of CDDP, it was suggested that the uptake of CDDP into tissue was one of the main causes of the steep alpha phase. In patients given plasma exchange one or two hours after the beginning of CDDP administration, the reduction rates of plasma platinum were 74.7-61.7%, but the collection rate of the agent in the exchanged plasma was only 22.2-7.5%. These results indicated that the uptake of CDDP into tissue might occur rapidly within a few hours after CDDP administration.

Clinical reports on plasma exchange in the Kidney Center, Tokai University School of Medicine.

There were 72 patients (19 with hepatic failure, 10 with fulminant hepatitis, eight with paraquat poisoning, eight with rheumatoid arthritis, five with myasthenia gravis, four with hyperlipidemia, four with systemic arteriosclerosis including brain infarction, three with pemphigus vulgaris, two with multiple myeloma, two with systemic lupus erythematosus, two cases non-specific Ig-G antibody, two cases medication with an anticancer drug, one with multiple sclerosis, one with Crohn's disease with amyloid kidney and one with chronic myeloblastic leukemia) treated by plasma exchange in the Kidney Center, Tokai University School of Medicine from Jan. 1983 to Dec. 1986. We performed plasma exchange using fresh frozen plasma in 40 cases and Lactate-Ringer's solution containing albumin (4.0-5.0%) in 20 cases as the replacement fluid. In 17 cases, we performed double filtration plasma exchange with the recycle system and no replacement fluid. Although PE therapy did not constitute a basic therapy for hyperlipidemia, pemphigus vulgaris, rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis, and systemic lupus erythematosus, it was effective in relieving severe clinical symptoms. At the present time, conventional plasma exchange does not improve the survival rate of patients with hepatic failure and fulminant hepatitis. Developments of a new artificial liver support apparatus and identity of many toxic substances in hepatic failure are necessary. No hypotension, hypovolemic shock or other significant complications were experienced.

A clinical trial of removal of bilirubin in blood by Evaflux-2A.

We performed both free and albumin-bound bilirubin removal therapy using the Evaflux-2A and evaluated its clinical effects. The removal rates of total bilirubin in the first and second sessions were 31.4%, and 31.0%, respectively. Our clinical data suggested that plasma exchange using Evaflux-2A and an albumin-added electrolyte solution as the substitute fluid was useful in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia.

Urinary tract infection in oliguric patients with chronic renal failure.

We studied 182 patients with chronic renal failure by urinalysis and urine cultures. Of the patients 27 per cent had significant bacteriuria (more than 10(5) per ml.), 38 per cent had significant pyuria (more than 10 white blood cells per high power field), 19 per cent had urinary tract infection and 7 per cent had symptomatic urinary tract infection. All 12 patients with symptomatic urinary tract infection had significant bacteriuria and 11 had significant pyuria, while 1 had 5 to 10 white blood cells per high power field. Incidences of urinary tract infection differed depending on the primary renal disease (12, 13, 41 and 67 per cent for chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, polycystic kidney and chronic pyelonephritis, respectively). Among the patients with chronic glomerulonephritis no significant differences were seen in frequencies of bacteriuria and urinary tract infection between male and female patients or between those who did and did not undergo hemodialysis. Also, no significant correlation was seen between bacteriuria and daily urine output but pyuria was significantly more frequent in oliguric patients or those on hemodialysis.

Autopsy findings in chronic pyelonephritis patients under dialysis--collected from the Annuals of Pathological Autopsy Cases in Japan.

Autopsy findings in chronic pyelonephritis patients on dialysis were studied in 122 cases. The greatest number of cases was in the 50-59 year-old group among males and in the 60-69 year-old group among females. Infection was the most frequent cause of death (39.3%), followed by bleeding (23.5%). The total number of patients with infections and bleeding was 68 cases (55.7%) and 39 cases (32.0%), respectively. Pneumonia and bronchitis were the most frequent (27.0%) in cases with infections and gastrointestinal bleeding was the most frequent (21.3%) in cases with bleeding. The incidence of tuberculosis (16.4%) as a complication was high.
