A trial of quantitative classification of surgical stress.

The severity of various surgical stresses was classified quantitatively on the basis of degree of adrenocortical stimulation by ACTH-Z. Urinary 17-OHCS (total, free and individual fractions) were dtermined in sixteen patients who underwent various operations and were injected some doses of ACTH-Z. The following quantitative classification of surgical stress was possible. In the group of ureterolithotomy and pyeloithotomy, the severity of operative stress appeared to be equivalent to the adrenocortical stimulation caused by injection of 0.125 mg to 0.25 mg of ACTH-Z. The severity in the group of ureterotomia externa was nearly the same as that in the above group. In the group of nephrectomy by oblique incision, the severity of stress appeared to correspond to the stimulation by injection of 0.25 mg or more of ACTH-Z. The group of total nephroureterectomy with partial cystectomy showed the severity which would correspond to the degree of stimulation by injection of about 0.5 mg ACTH-Z, and the group of transperitoneal nephrectomy, by injection of 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg of ACTH-Z.

A simple technique for culturing tubercle bacilli.

Microscopy, traditionally used in peripheral health centres to diagnose tuberculosis, could be supplemented by sputum culture if sputum specimens were inoculated on suitable media and sent to intermediate or central laboratories to be incubated and read. To facilitate this procedure, the authors propose a simplified swab culture method and a modification of Ogawa's egg medium.
