Leucocyte migration inhibition test with two gastric antigens in pernicious anaemia and in simple atrophic gastritis.

Leucocyte migration inhibition test was used for evaluation of cell-mediated immunity in patients with pernicious anaemia (PA) and simple atrophic gastritis (SAG). As antigens microsomal antigen from gastric mucosa of swine foetus and relatively pure hog intrinsic factor (IF) were used. Significant differences were found between PA and SAG with microsomal antigen, but not with IF. It was concluded, that the microsomal antigen might be more active than IF. This observation could contribute to explane the higher incidence of parietal cell antibody than that of IF antibody in PA patients.

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy with highly differentiated neural component. Light and electron microscopic study.

A pigmented tumor was removed from the maxillar alveolar process of a 5-month-old boy. It was examined by light and electron microscopy and a diagnosis of melanotic neuroectodermal tumor was made. In addition to connective tissue, three main cell types were identified: undifferentiated (stem) cells, melanocytes, and nerve cells with processes forming an abundant neuropil. Numerous axo-dendritic and occasional axo-somatic synapses were observed. The neural component demonstrated better differentiation in this example than in any reported so far.

[Goodpasture's syndrome].

1. The paper summarizes the clinical course, histopathological examinations and immunohistological examinations of 4 personal cases [2 males aged 20 and 26 years, 2 females aged 65 and 18 years] of Goodpasture's pulmorenal syndrome. 2. The characteristic histopathological findings included pulmonary haemorrhage with a focal acute alveolitis and renal lesions that were classed as acute or subacute glomerulonephritis with the finding of scarce multinucleated cells. Such cells are regarded as being of diagnostic value and they are thought to indicate interaction of antibodies with the basement membranes. 3. Immunohistologically, all the cases showed a linear fluorescence following the basement membrane of the interalveolar septa. In 3 of the cases there was linear fluorescence in the glomerular capillary walls. In one case [observation No. 2] who had been hypertensive before death and had had necrotizing arteriitis at postmortem, there was fluorescence of granular type in the kidney believed to indicate the participation of immune complexes in the development of the pathological condition.

[Tubal actinomycosis as a complication of intrauterine contraception].

A case of actinomycosis of the uterine tube occuring in a 29-year-old clerk is reported. The disease became manifest clinically a month after the introduction of IUD. In spite of intensive antiinflammatory therapy the disease was in progress and cachexia developed. The case was cured only after radical surgical intervention and antibiotic treatment.
