Postsurgical adjuvant treatment of malignant melanoma patients by the thymic factor thymostimulin.

37 patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma (MM) were randomized, after surgical removal of tumor, to either no further treatment or to adjuvant treatment by the thymic factor thymostimulin (TS; Tp-1 Serono). 26 patients were with primary (stage I) MM (tumor thickness greater than 1.25 mm), and 11 patients with local or regional disease spread (stage II MM). Randomization was done separately for each disease stage. Life table analysis of the results indicates that significantly (p less than 0.01) more patients were free of disease at one year on study if treated by TS than if left untreated. Probability of survival was also better (p = 0.05) in the TS-treated group at 15 months on study. No side effects, toxic or allergic, were observed under TS treatment.

Combined vitamin A and E therapy prevents retinal electrophysiological deterioration in abetalipoproteinaemia.

Eight patients with abetalipoproteinaemia had the typical ocular, systemic, and laboratory findings of this disease. Combined therapy with vitamins A and E was administered, starting as early as the first day of life and as late as 26 years of age. The patients were followed up for 2-6 years. Electroretinography was undertaken in all cases and electrooculography in some. After initiation of vitamin A and E therapy no progression of disturbed visual function could be detected in any patient. These objective tests of retinal function demonstrated that the combined vitamin A and E therapy may be useful in arresting retinal deterioration in abetalipoproteinaemia.

Abetalipoproteinemia treated with parenteral and oral vitamins A and E, and with medium chain triglycerides.

An 11-year-old girl with abetalipoproteinemia was treated with parenteral vitamin A and vitamin E for two and a half years. Some improvement in neurological and visual deficits was noted. On changing to oral vitamin E and later with addition of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) to the diet, a considerable improvement in her general wellbeing, neuromuscular lesions and ophthalmological symptoms was noted. This regimen is being adhered to for five and a half years. The condition is stable with no further improvement.

Cutaneous manifestations of familial Mediterranean fever.

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is frequently accompanied by erysipelas-like attacks. These should alert the physician to the correct diagnosis of this systemic disease. Several other nonspecific skin lesions may be seen in FMF. To our knowledge, histologic findings in erysipelas-like skin rashes seen in FMF are not reported elsewhere in the literature.
