Diagnostic significance of octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid in cervical neoplasia.

The percentage molar ratio (%MR) of the 9,11 and 9,12 isomers of octadecadienoic acid was determined in cervical exfoliated cells from 148 subjects, of whom 27 had cytologically proven intraepithelial neoplasia and in cervical biopsy specimens from 43 subjects, of whom 24 had histologically diagnosed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The %MR in both cervical biopsy specimens and exfoliated cells did not significantly differ in subjects with or without cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The measurement of the %MR of 9,11:9,12 octadecadienoic acid has no role in the detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

The diagnostic value of detecting eosinophilia of nasal secretions in allergic rhinitis.

Nasal mucus eosinophilia was found in 92 per cent of adults with active hay fever. After an initial period of gaining experience in the method of collecting mucus, this was found to be a simple cheap method of demonstating an allergic component in the genesis of rhinitis. This test could be employed for detecting the relationship of allergic factors to chronic respiratory tract disease in childhood and in adults.
