Use of clindamycin and gentamicin in pediatric colonic surgery.

The combination of clindamycin and gentamicin was used to treat 25 pediatric surgical patients. In 9 of the 11 patients with perforated appendicitis, B. fragilis was isolated from the peritoneal cavity. There was a rapid clinical response to treatment in all cases. No side effects were observed. Clindamycin and gentamicin seem to be the antibiotics of choice for such infections.

Hepatic inactivation of renin in the treatment of hyperreninemic hypertension.

The concept of the hepatic inactivation of renin secreted by the juxtaglomerular apparatuses of the ischemic kidney was used for reversal of hypertension in dogs. In three dogs, the left renal artery was constricted, and a significant and well established hyperreninemic hypertension was recorded. The performance of an end-to-end splenorenal shunt following renal artery constriction reversed the hyperreninemia and hypertension. Shunting of the renal venous drainage into the portal system prior to constriction of the main renal artery prevented, as demonstrated by the limited data available, the development of hyperreninemic hypertension.
