Cholecystokinin A receptor antagonist inhibits feed memory in Japanese quail.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) modulates learning and memory processes in mammals. The main objective of this work was to study the effect of two cholecystokinin receptor antagonists (CCKA antagonist devazepide and CCKB antagonist PD135158) on feed memory processes in Japanese quail. Memorization of colored food was measured by comparing the feeding behavior of 6- to 8-day-old quails during two successive sessions of 10 min after a 30-min fast in the test box, intersession interval: 24 h. The CCKA antagonist devazepide (0.1 mg/kg, b.wt) injected after the first session appears to disrupt feed memory formation. The CCKB antagonist PD135158 at the same dose induced a similar trend, but no significant effect on feed memorization could be measured. It is suggested that CCKA antagonist inhibits feed memory processes.

[Disseminated aspergillosis and mucormycosis. A case report].

This paper reports a simultaneous pulmonary infection due to Aspergillus fumigatus and Rhizomucor pusillus which evolved to disseminated aspergillosis and mucormycosis in a leukaemic and neutropenic 40-year-old woman. Both fungi were cultured ante mortem from bronchial secretion. Although high doses of intravenous amphotericin B were administered, the course of the infection was fatal. At autopsy, aspergilli were demonstrated by histology in lungs and brain, and zygomycetes were found to have invaded liver and kidneys.

[Surgical treatment for femoral shaft fracture in children and adolescents with multiple trauma].

Results of surgical treatment for 13 femoral shaft fractures in 12 children and adolescents with multitrauma have been presented. In 12 cases plate has been used, in one case Kuntcher nail was employed. Age of the patient at the trauma was 3 years 4 months on an average. There was no infection in postoperative period. The fracture healed after 8 weeks on an average. Anatomical reduction has been achieved in all cases. Some physical activity limitation (not related to the treatment) has been found in two patients. Surgical treatment for femoral shaft fracture in children and adolescents with multitrauma rendered good results.
