[Deep mycoses observed in New Caledonia. Evaluation of observations from the laboratory of pathologic anatomy of the Pasteur Institute of New Caledonia 1975-1990].

All cases of deep mycotic diseases observed between 1975 and 1989 in the Laboratory of Anatomical Pathology at Nouméa's Pasteur Institute have been studied retrospectively together with all available data concerning this pathology both in New Caledonia and the Pacific area. During the period under review, two cases of histoplasmosis, 4 of actinomycosis, 3 sporotrichosis, 5 mycetoma and 5 chromoblastomycosis were recorded in New Caledonia. Clinical and histological data appear to be identical to those observed in other Pacific Islands. Diagnosis is most usually supported only by histological examination and, thus, for future studies it is vital that specific mycologic culture of all cases be carried out.

[Cancer of the cervix uteri in New Caledonia from 1977 to 1988. Epidemiological and histocytopathological data. Risk factors].

The study of 265 cervical carcinomas seen over a period of 11 years in the territory of New Caledonia reveals significant incidence rates according to ethnic groups. Standardized incidence rates (World population) are respectively 20.37 and 35.81 in the European and in the Melanesian ethnic groups. These results are confirmed by the indirect standardization method. The efficacy of screening programs has been estimated on a sample of 10,764 cytologies. 62% of cervical cancers were detected by cytology. The selection of populations at high risk is the most important condition to ensure optimal efficacy of gynecological cancer screening.

Structure of an exocellular beta-D-glucan from Pediococcus sp., a wine lactic bacteria.

Pediococcus sp. produces an exocellular slime containing exclusively D-glucose. The structure of the polysaccharide was determined by methylation analysis, Smith degradation, enzymic hydrolysis, and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy as having a trisaccharide repeating unit, ----3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1---- 3)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1----2)]-beta-D-Glcp-(1----.
