Development of the smooth muscle of the ureter and vesical trigone: histological investigation in human fetus.

The development of the muscular tissue of the ureter, ureterovesical junction and vesical trigone in the human fetus has been investigated using serial histological sections. The muscular tissue firstly appears in the lumbar tract of the ureter and the further smooth muscle development occurs in a cranio-caudal direction. The muscular tissue in the intravesical portion of the ureter is present only in fetuses between 22 and 24 weeks. The development of the muscular tissue of the trigone is dependent upon the development of smooth muscle of this tract.

Somatostatin treatment of psoriatic arthritis.

Eighteen patients with psoriatic arthritis were treated for 48 hours with an infusion of somatostatin 250 micrograms/hr diluted in a 5% glucose solution. This therapy led to a reduction of joint pain and satisfactory clearing of cutaneous lesions immediately after treatment in eight patients, less marked results in four, and null in four. Two patients were dropped from the study because of negative side effects during administration of the drug. Fifteen days after treatment, the clearing of lesions and joint pain reduction were even more pronounced. The most encouraging results were obtained on erythrodermic and large plaque psoriasis and on the polyarticular involvement. We suggest that the use of this drug, whose side effects are discussed, should be limited to patients with polyarthritis showing severe cutaneous involvement.
