[Gastric duplication in an adult].
A gastric cystic duplication was found in a 83 year old patient; the cyst was located on the posterior wall of the stomach and required a total gastrectomy. Gastric duplications are usually discovered during the first year of life. They are located in the greater curvature. It's common the cystic form without communication with the gastric lumen. Due to its rarity, in most cases the diagnosis is made at laparotomy.

[Levels of lipoprotein(a), other lipids and lipoproteins in adolescents from the health area of Alcoy].
Several epidemiological and necroscopic evidences suggest that, despite that the ischemic cardiopathy (IC) can be generally detected only since the fourth decade of life, it starts during the first years of life and adolescence. We have studied 278 teen-agers, with 13-14 years of age, attending the 8th school year (primary education) in five schools of Alcoy. 117 were males and 161 females. Levels of lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]), total cholesterol (TC), cholesterol linked to high density lipoproteins (C-HDL) and its subfractions (C-HDL2 and C-HDL3), triglycerides (TG), apoproteins A-I and B (Apo A and Apo B) were determined. Cholesterol linked to low density lipoproteins (C-LDL) was calculated using the Friedewald-Fredrickson's equation. Mean values and standard deviation were: Lp(a) = 29.99 +/- 33.61 mg/dl., TC = 160.4 +/- 25.4 mg/dl., C-HDL = 54.0 +/- 12.3 mg/dl., C-HDL2 = 8.7 +/- 6.5 mg/dl., C-HDL3 = 46.2 +/- 18.6 mg/dl., TG = 72.6 +/- 26.8 mg/dl., C-LDL = 91.6 +/- 22.0 mg/dl., Apo A = 136.4 +/- 24.2 mg/dl., Apo B = 60.7 +/- 21.7 mg/dl. 38% teen-agers had Lp(a) levels higher than 30 mg/dl., 7.5% had levels of TC higher than 200 mg/dl., 12.8% had levels of C-HDL equal or higher than 40 mg/dl. and 4.7% had levels of C-LDL equal or higher than 130 mg/dl. From our study, we can conclude that, despite that the levels of TC, C-LDL and C-HDL in these teen-agers are within relatively normal limits, there is a high percentage with levels of Lp(a) actually considered as a risk factor.

[The total absence of xanthine oxidase activity. Apropos 2 cases of the nonfamilial incidence of xanthinuria].
The lack of activity of the xanthine-oxidase conversion produces hypouricemia and hypocuria, with high urine elimination of xanthine and hypoxanthine. Due to the low solubility, it can result in urinary lithiasis. Two rare cases of xanthinuria caused by total lack of xanthine-oxidase are presented. A differential diagnosis of several congenital metabolic purine defects was carried out.
