An evaluation by sequential extraction of the proportions of collagen types from medium sized arteries.

Samples of human Common Iliac Arteries, obtained post-mortem from patients without evidence of atherosclerosis, were analyzed for their content in the various types of collagens using alternatively sonication, pepsin digestion and dithiothreitol reduction followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the extracts. A final average proportion of 66% of the total collagen was solubilized. The statistical calculation of the proportions of the different collagens, deduced from the densitometric scannings of the electrophoretic runs, showed that a larger amount of type I was extracted when the extraction was more complete. Type I collagen appeared as the most insoluble collagen in these arteries and its final proportion was probably higher than 60% of the total collagen.

Lymphoblastic leukaemia and Kaposi's sarcoma.

The authors report the case of a young white girl in whom the diagnosis of lymphoblastic leukaemia was made at the age of 5 years. Chemotherapy induced remission and long term surveillance began. Seven years after the onset of the first disease this girl died of an undiagnosed illness characterised by multiple nodules in both lungs. The autopsy gave the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma.

[Bronchial granular cell tumor. Apropos of 2 cases].

The authors report two new cases of bronchial granular cell tumour, a site which remains relatively rare. One of these cases was studied from the point of view of histoenzymology and ultrastructure. The appearances seen were identical to those seen in the literature. They lead to the problem of the histogenetics of the lesion, various morphological factors favouring a Schwann cell origin, whilst the presence of "transitional" cells is more in favour of a mesenchymatous origin, or at least the role of mesenchymatous cells in the development of these lesions.
