Outcome of perianal fistulae in Crohn's disease--value of Hughes' pathogenic classification.

Applying the Hughes' pathogenic classification of ano-perineal lesions of Crohn's disease, this study was conducted to find out its possible prognostic value in perianal fistulas. Thirty-eight patients with ano-perianal fistulas were included; primary specific lesions (condyloma, cavitating ulcer, fissure) were found in 22 patients (group 1) and were absent in the other 16 patients (group 2). Patients of group 1 underwent more abdominal surgical interventions (G 1: 68%; G 2: 31% - P = 0.05), as well as proctological interventions (G 1: 2.95 operations/patient vs 1.35 in G 2 - P = 0.01). Perfect continence was recorded ultimately in 31.8% patients of G 1 compared to 62.5% of G 2. This study shows the very poor prognosis of ano-perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease.

[Microphthalmos and its pathogenic classification].

Congenital microphthalmos is a common malformation encountered clinically. Microphthalmos in adults is here defined as eyes whose axial length is below 20.4 mm in males and 20.1 mm in females; in under 14-year-old children, it is eyes at least 3 square root of 2/3 below the mean for age-similar controls. Experimental animals with hereditary microphthalmos have been widely investigated, and many environmental factors given to pregnant animals frequently induce microphthalmos. In both clinical and experimental microphthalmos, there are conspicuous variations in size, and various kinds of ocular and systemic complications. Recently, fetal alcohol syndrome produced by alcohol intake during pregnancy has been reported. In this syndrome, microphthalmos is one of the important symptoms. Experimentally, microphthalmos also developed at a high incidence among mouse fetuses whose mothers were given ethanol during pregnancy. The present investigator established a preliminary etiological classification of microphthalmos in 1984. In this paper summing up newly obtained results, the relationship to neural crest cells and histochemical changes of glycosaminoglycan molecular species, the author presents a final pathogenic classification of microphthalmos, which consists of developmental disturbance of the optic vesicle, malformation of the optic cup, mesenchymal dysgenesis of the anterior ocular segment, maldevelopment of the lens, maldevelopment of the vitreous, faulty closure of the embryonic fissure and developmental disturbance of the wall of eyeball.

The pathogenic classification of glaucomas.

On the basis of a pathogenic definition, our classification distinguished for each of the first intersections a main--mostly determinant mechanism and a secondary mechanism, mostly modulating the damages: hydrodynamic alteration and tissue resistance alteration--for the second intersection, outflow block and hypersecretion--for the third. Reflecting the state of present knowledge, from the corresponding forms of the disease, only outflow block glaucoma is completely analysed, the exogenous, trabecular, pretrabecular and mixed glaucomas being described. In order to permit the correct framing of all pretrabecular block glaucomas, the posterior push forms (retrovitreal or parietal) were introduced besides the anterior already described forms (pupillary or angular). As for low tissue resistance glaucomas, genetic, cardiovascular, metabolic, haematologic and ocular influences are mentioned. This classification avoids the theoretical inadvertencies of previous classifications offering the synthetic frame of a coherent system, open to any new developments, all inclusive, terminologically clear and with direct therapeutic references.

[Multidimensional analysis in clinical investigation. Application to the pathogenic classification of idiopathic hypercalciuria].

Multidimensional analytical techniques enable any number of variables to be studied simultaneously. These techniques have been described and a few examples of their application to biomedical research given. A classification of so called "idiopathic hypercalciuria" was made using this approach which demonstrated the existence of three possible mechanisms of pathogenesis.
