[The selectivity, polarity and characteristic features of autistic and syntonic schizophrenia].

In previous papers (3, 4, 5) the author presented a hypothesis concerning important features of clinical picture of paranoid schizophrenia, that is selectivity and polarity (bipolarity). Numerous research works aimed at closer recognition of some differences of clinical picture of paranoid schizophrenia have been conducted under the author's direction. The formation of certain psychopathological proportions discerned by the author has been researched with intentionally elaborated scales. The research results have led to distinguishing autistic and syntonic schizophrenia.

Particular fractions of microproteinuria in patients with stabile angina pectoris and without a clinical nephropathy.

The determination of microalbuminuria is a valuable method in the diagnosis of renal and vascular diabetes or hypertension complications. Recently, microalbuminuria appeared to be the predictor of coronary heart diseases (CHD). The presented study comprised 26 patients with stable angina pectoris (AP) and 27 healthy volunteers. We simultaneously evaluated microproteinuria during the first morning and afternoon miction and the 24-h blood pressure. Amongst patients with AP all urine protein concentrations were increased (results in g/mol creatinine): alpha-1-microglobulin (1.04 + 0.13 vs. 0.47 + 0.05, p < 0.001) albumin (0.95 + 0.15 vs. 0.61 + 0.05, p < 0.05) and IgG (1.00 + 0.17 vs. 0.55 + 0.05, p < 0.01) were higher, in comparison to control group values. Indices for diurnal blood pressure rhythm were significantly lower in the AP group for both systolic (1.07 + 0.01 vs. 1.14 + 0.01 p < 0.001) and diastolic (1.09 + 0.02; vs. 1.21 + 0.03 p < 0.01) pressures. A physiological increase of albumin from the afternoon sample was only observed in the control group. Thus, our AP patients demonstrated signs of subclinical nephropathy in both the proximal tubuli and glomeruli.

[Awareness of illness in affective psychosis].

On the basis of analyzed clinical material several observations were attempted which were related to the patients' awareness of one's own affective psychosis. It was discovered that patients with endogenous depression considered themselves to be ill, but only in relation to depression. They usually do not perceive in themselves any psychotic illness. It was noticed that in depression past achievements appeared to be foreign to the patients. This was described in among other terms as "emotionally empty judgments". Analyzing the clinical picture of hypomanic states, stress was placed on the notion of the coexistence of logical thinking (and in some cases these thinking patterns are concerned with a feeling of heightened cognitive ability) with thinking styles based on logical errors. In all patients hypermnesia appears more important than other factors. The above mentioned phenomena are the subject of further research.

[Syntonic phenomena, autism and proportion].

The authors on the basis of extensive literature discuss the phenomenon of syntonia, autism and proportion in schizophrenia. Referring to their own research on the formation of different types of proportion, the authors define the understanding of syntonia and autism.

Chronic pancreatitis in Warsaw.

The purpose of the study was an approximation of the incidence and prevalence of chronic pancreatitis (CP) in Warsaw (Poland) and the dietary habits before the onset of the disease. The number of CP cases treated in the District Hospital and in out-patients department was calculated. The incidence and prevalence of CP were analysed in ratio to 100,000 of the population of the Warsaw Bródno district. In the years 1982-1987 a group of 64 patients with CP were observed. The incidence and prevalence in 1987 were 5.0 and 17.0, respectively. Alcohol is the cause of about 73% of CP cases and its mean intake unit the development of the disease was 68 ml daily for about 16 years. Patients with CP consumed more protein and fats before the onset of CP in comparison with the general population in Poland. The intake of protein and fats before diagnosis of CP was 113 g/day and 175 g/day, respectively. The mean consumption of protein and fats in Poland in 1983 was 89 g/day and 117 g/day, respectively.

[Level of amino acids in blood plasma as a test for exocrine pancreatic function].

A well known in physiology fact is that stimulation with enterohormones (secretin, cholecystokinin) causes a steep increase in the synthesis of pancreatic enzymes, and this might affect the plasma level of amino acids. In view of this, this level was studied in healthy subjects and patients with chronic pancreatitis. Hormonal stimulation was observed to cause in healthy subjects a significant rapid fall of the levels of all amino acids, which was greatest in the 20th minute. A less evident fall of the amino acid level was observed in chronic pancreatitis. A high correlation was noted (r = 0.9) between the value of amino acid fall in plasma and the degree of failure of the exocrine pancreatic function measured with the NBT-PABA test. All results are an encouraging indication that plasma amino acid level fall may be used for the assessment of the pancreatic exocrine potential. In the analysis of individual amino acids the most significant fall was noted of methionine, serine, valine, isoleucine, glutamine and tyrosine.

[Clinical evaluation of loperamide (Imodium)].

The clinical usefulness of loperamide (Imodium) was studied. The preparation was given to 35 patients with acute diarrhoea and 34 with chronic diarrhoea. A good effect was obtained in symptomatic treatment of acute and chronic diarrhoea. The best effects were noted in the treatment of diarrhoea due to functional disturbances.
