[Serum enzyme alterations during diabetic ketoacidosis. Prospective study of the behaviour of AP, AsAT, AIAT, and GGPT in 24 cases (author's transl)].

Because of the scarcity of data on the changes of serum enzymes during diabetic ketoacidosis, the authors have prospectively studied the alterations of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP), alkaline phosphatase (AP), aspartate aminotransferase (AsAT), and alanine aminotransferase (AIAT) in this metabolic disturbance. The most significant finding was the frequent increase of AP activity on admission, with a systematic fall of the serum levels within the first 24 hours (p less than 0.001). This phenomenon was negatively correlated with patients' age (p less than 0.05), and the same occurred with the bone isoenzyme of AP (p less than 0.01). The remaining enzymes studies were always normal, thus suggesting that any increase of the serum levels of GGTP, AsAT, and AIAT found in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis must arise the suspicion of an associated disturbance.

Anomalous creatine kinase isoenzymes in serum from patients with rectal carcinoma.

Sera from eight patients with biopsy-proven rectal carcinoma were assayed for creatine kinase (CK). Two of the patients had enzyme activity: one with the BB and the other with an MB isoenzyme. We think that our results may be of interest because the detection of anomalous isoenzymes of CK in serum ma serve as a diagnostic marker or as an indicator of the effectiveness of treatment.

[Epidemiological aspects of gastric adenocarcinoma in the Southern Seville area].

We performed a basic epidemiological study of gastric adenocarcinoma in the Southern Seville area, with Valme Hospital as the reference center. All cases with an endoscopic diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma carried out in our center from May 1982 through December 1987 were included in the study. Basically, the following variables were evaluated: the sex and age distribution of the neoplasia, and its mean and yearly incidence during the study period, both as a whole and in the different natural regions of the Southern Seville area. The mean age of the patients with gastric adenocarcinoma was 67 +/- 1.5; 62.8% were males and 37.2% females, with a male/female ratio of 1.68/1. The mea incidence during the study period was 5.93 cases for 100,000/year. The yearly incidence showed a mild and progressive increase until 1986 with a decrease in 1987.
