A new hereditary single band variant of the Gc system.

A new single band variant (Gc Ar) or the Gc subtypes not identical with the known Gc variants has been detected in the plasma of a healthy blood donor by isoelectric focusing. Using this technique the variant is represented by a single band which has a similar isoelectric point to the Gc 1C2 anodal band. It is well known that the single band Gc phenotypes remain unaltered after neuraminidase treatment. Nevertheless, the new single band variant (Gc Ar) is altered after neuraminidase treatment as is Gc 2A3. After neuraminidase treatment, the Gc Ar band is affected and moved to the nearby position of the Gc 2 band. Investigation of the proband's family shows that the variant occurs combined with the common alleles Gc 1F, Gc 1S and that it has an autosomal dominant inheritance.

A new single band variant of the Gc subtypes determined by isoelectric focusing.

A new single band variant (Gc Ta) of the Gc subtypes which does not correspond with the known Gc variants has been detected in a healthy blood donor by isoelectric focusing. Using this technique the variant is represented by a single band, which is more cathodically located than the 1A8(fast) band and more anodically located than the 1A3(fast) band. It is well known that the single band Gc phenotypes remain unaltered after neuraminidase treatment. Nevertheless, the new single band variant (Gc Ta) is altered after neuraminidase treatment. In this case the new single band Gc variant also contained N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA).

[Successful treatment in an adult case of congenital esophagobronchial fistula].

A case of congenital esophagobronchial fistula in a 46-year-old woman was described. The patient had presented with repeated attacks of pulmonary infection from her childhood and had been diagnosed pneumonia at least five or six times after the age of 18 years. Preoperative examinations including esophagogram by barium swallow revealed the existence of a fistula between middle thoracic esophagus and left B6 bronchus. The fistula was recognized as Type II of Braimbridge and Keith's classification, and successfully resected with left lower pulmonary lobe. Sixty-eight cases with congenital esophagobronchial fistula in adult including our own case have been reported in Japanese literature and about 70 cases in the literature of western countries. From the analysis of these cases, diagnostic basis on congenital origin of the fistula, useful diagnostic methods, types of the fistula and appropriate surgical procedures were discussed.
