The effect of the 1% aluminium ammonium-sulphate solution has been studied. As revealed by animal experiments and clinical examination, the new method can effectively be used without side-effects in the symptomatic treatment of the massive vesical haemorrhages of different origin.
Ten patients in whom severe haemorrhage from the bladder persisted after clot evacuation and fulguration were treated by continuous irrigation with 1% alum solution. Bleeding ceased in 8 patients, and was temporary in only one of these cases. In 2 patients with thrombocytopaenia the treatment failed. No side effects were noticed. Serum aluminium level was measured in one patient and the value was normal.

Five groups of 4 sheep were given for 33 mo a daily oral dose of 0, 1.9 or 4.7 mg fluoride (F)/kg body weight with or without 13.5 mg aluminum (Al)/kg. In all treated animals the general health status was disturbed and osteo-dental symptoms appeared while F levels were increased in teeth, bones and organs. In sheep given the higher F dose, pathologic lesions were observed in kidney and liver. Most disturbances were dose-related and alleviated by simultaneous administration of aluminum sulfate, mainly for the lower F dose.

Nineteen young male workers exposed occupationally from 1975-1977 to inhaled particles of aluminium fluoride or sulphate at 2 plants, developed nocturnal wheezing and breathlessness with reversible airways obstruction after an average of 4 months employment. At standardized methacholine provocation tests (MPT), 17 of 19 workers with normal spirometry showed airway hyperreactivity with a fall of FEV1 of greater than or equal to 15% after 0.1% methacholine. We followed 15 initially asthmatic workers for 2-5 years with MPT. Mean TD 15% FEV1 in 11 workers did not change significantly after an average of 41 months of non-exposure. Six workers continuously exposed for 48 months also failed to change their TD 15% FEV1 MCh. In 1983, only one subject had returned to normal airway reactivity. We have no reason to suspect inducing agents other than aluminium salts.

Antacids are able to prevent acetylsalicylic acid-induced functional and morphological changes of the gastric mucosa. In order to test whether a new antacid in chewing-tablet form (Gastropulgit Tabs) might be able to protect the gastric mucosa from acetylsalicylic acid-induced functional changes similarly to liquid antacids the effect of this antacid on acetylsalicylic acid-induced changes of transmural gastric potential difference was measured in healthy volunteers. The decrease of transmural potential differences induced by 640 mg acetylsalicylic acid could be prevented by simultaneous addition of 2 tablets of Gastropulgit Tabs. Thus the antacid in tablet form is able-like liquid antacids-to protect the gastric mucosa against acetylsalicylic acid-induced functional changes.

An alum hematoxylin was prepared (0.5 g hematoxylin, 8 g potassium alum, distilled water 477.5 ml and Na10(3) solution, 1 mg/ml, 22.5 ml) and divided into 50 ml aliquots. The pH of these aliquots was adjusted with 2 1/2% NaOH or 10% H2SO4. As soon as the pH of a sample was adjusted the absorbance from 400 to 700 nm was recorded with a Cary 15 spectrophotometer using specially designed cuvettes and undiluted samples. The following day the absorbances at peak were measured on a Coleman Jr. spectrophotometer and three days later a variety of tissues was stained with each solution. The pH and peak of absorbance of the aliquots were pH = 2.0 450 NM, 2.5 505, 2.6 507, 2.7 515, 2.8 520, 2.9 530, 3.0 540, 3.1 550, 3.3 560, 3.5 560. In the stained material in the intensity of nuclear staining was about the same at all pH levels but non-specific staining was greatest in slides stained at pH = .5 and virtually absent in slides stained at pH = 2.0. At intermediate pH levels the amount of non-specific staining was intermediate.
