Cytologic diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis.

In specimens obtained by fine needle thyroid puncture it is possible to define cytologic criteria of toxic goiter. This cytologic picture is compound but the authors describe marginal vacuolization and nuclear ring patterns in follicular wall fragments as fairly specific signs of thyroid hyperfunction. Thyroid puncture is hardly a measure of choice in the routine clinical evaluation of hyperthyrosis but some case histories demonstrate that due attention to the cytologic picture of toxic goiter is profitable also when the puncture was made with quite other indications.

Pronounced deficiency in T-cells and lymphocyte chromosomal aberrations in a patient with sarcoidosis, myelofibrosis and acute leukaemia following thorotrast angiography.

A patient exposed to thorotrast angiography developed sarcoidosis 21 years after the injection and myelofibrosis 13 years later. On the latter occasion an extreme deficiency in circulating lymphocytes forming rosettes with sheep erythrocytes (T-cells) was observed and a large fraction of the cells had chromosomal aberrations. Acute leukaemia developed 1 year later. The multiple clinical symptoms may be related to radiation-induced destruction of bone marrow tissue, mutations in haemopoietic cells and depression of cell-mediated immunity.

Lymphocyte locomotion III. ultrastructural studies of the lymphocyte traffic over the postcapillary venules of rat lymph nodes.

The direction of lymphocytes with amoeboid movement configuration (AMC) was evaluated by means of electron microscopy of ultrathin sections of post-capillary high-endothelium venules (HE-venules) from rat lymph nodes. Out of 104 lymphocytes, 68 lymphocytes appeared to be on their way towards the lumen of the HE-venule and 36 lymphocytes appeared to be moving away from the venular lumen at the moment of fixation. This difference, which was statistically significant (p=0.0024), is thought to reflect the relative size of the migration stream of lymphocytes at the moment of fixation.

Lymphocyte locomotion. II. The lymphocyte traffic over the post-capillary venules analysed by phase contrast microscopy of thin sections of rat lymph nodes.

Thin sections of lymph nodes from 14 rats were examined by phase contrast microscopy as regards direction of lymphoctes with amoeboid movement configuration (AMC) relative to the basement membrane of post-capillary high-endothelium venules (HE-cenules). Out of 118 lymphocytes with AMC, 82 appeared to be on theyr way into the venule from the lymph node parenchyma. This observation suggests that the lymphocyte traffic over the HE-venules is bi-directional, with the main migratory stream of lymphocytes from the lymph node parenchyma into the post-capillary venules.

Chromosome abnormalities identified by banding technique in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia complicating Hodgkin's disease.

Chromosome analyses using the Giemsa banding technique were performed on bone marrow cells in a patient with the association of Hodgkin's disease and acute myeloid leukaemia. All cells had an abnormal karyotype showing an extra chromosome No. 14, loss of one chromosome No. 17 and gain of one chromosome No. 18. These abnormalities are in many respects similar to the karyotype changes of lymphoid cells in malignant lymphomas, suggesting a pathogenetic relationship between the two disorders.
