Characterization of serological cross-reactivity between polysaccharide antigens of Streptococcus mutans serotypes c and d.

Immunological assays with antisera prepared against purified Streptococcus mutans serotype c polysaccharide demonstrated that a cross-reacting determinant on c polysaccharide reacted with the wall-associated rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide from S. mutans serotype d. Studies with 60 antisera prepared against chemostat cultures of S. mutans Ingbritt (c) demonstrated that the rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide cross-reactive determinant was consistently expressed on c antigen under a variety of growth conditions.

[Juvenile papillomatosis of the breast].

The PJ, introduced by Rosen in the 1980, is a benign and localized mammary lesion in female under 30 years old. The most important clinical and histological features are: Diagnosis in juvenile age. A mass clinically localized. A nodule with histologic features of cyst, benign hyperplasia of ductal epithelium and galactophorus ducts dilatation (Swiss cheese disease). There is a correlation between patients with PJ and breast cancer there is an increment of breast cancer in familirs of patients with PJ. There is an increment of the risk to develop a K in situ in patients with PJ and apocrine metaplasia and/or adenomatosis and/or atypical mastoplasia. We describe the diffuse PJ in a girl of 23 years old from the 1996 to 2002.

[Relationship between type A behavior and the other risk factors in chronic disease].

The relationship between psychological features and coronary heart disease (CHD) have long been investigated. Type A behaviour consists of psychological, behavioral and cognitive features and represents an important risk factor for CHD. The present report is a review of the international literature on the subject. In particular we have taken into account the relationships among type A and other risk factors and the possible biological mechanisms through which type A behaviour may promote CHD.

[Biophysical control of pregnancies at risk: our experience].

The perinatal medicine has substantially improved the monitoring of the risk pregnancy thanks to the biological control of the pregnancy and labour. After examining the main systems of fetal monitoring, the authors report their own case load related to the monitoring and to the result of 100 postdate pregnancies examined at their ward.

[Bilateral carcinoma of the breast].

The authors present 20 cases of bilateral breast cancer (2 synchronous) on 700 cases of breast cancer observed in 1974-1992 period. In most cases (17 on 20) the histologic type was the same for both tumours and in 15 cases was invasive ductal. The time interval to second diagnosis went from 24 to 144 months with a mean interval of 44 months. The limited number of cases observed by the Authors doesn't permit conclusions about the prognostic meaning of a second breast cancer but it is clear that the anamnestic evidence of a previous intervention for breast cancer requires careful control also of the contralateral breast.

[Suppurative complications in acute pancreatitis].

The authors examining suppurative complications caused by acute necrotizing pancreatitis point out how such complications can arise early at the same time of acute pancreatitis with large spread in peripancreatic tissues and spaces and with worse prognosis or have a late appearance with a trend to localize and circumscribe. Four cases of pancreatic abscess, three of which largely diffused brought to death in spite of surgery, are reported.

[The role of echography in the diagnosis of pelvic masses].

The authors confirm the fundamental role of the pulse-echo technique in the study of pelvic masses; they outline the usefulness of the ultrasonography in the early presumptive diagnosis of the possible neoplastic alterations of such masses. The authors present five clinical cases in which the use of the pulse-echo technique has allowed to locate, in spite of a scanty clinical symptomatology, the presence of pathologies requiring a rapid surgical resolution.

[Gynecomastia].

Gynaecomastia is a benign enlargement of the male breast commonly occurring in healthy adolescent boys and in adults (50 to 80 years old). It is a source of cosmetic and psychologic problems. The secondary forms usually require no therapy other than the removal of any identified inciting cause. Most of the idiopathic forms last only a few months and then gradually disappear. In secondary gynaecomastia and idiopathic forms present for more than 12 months a medical hormonal treatment often fails and the only therapy is surgery consisting in a subtotal subcutaneous mastectomy. In the last years the surgical treatment is often completed with suction lipectomy: this procedure reduces the surgical traumatism. The authors present their experience concerning 47 patients: 27 were surgical treated with subcutaneous subtotal mastectomy and 18 had an abjunctive liposuction treatment with good results.
