Becker muscular dystrophy.

Five patients from 3 families with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) were reported. The main clinical and laboratory findings were in common. Pairs of affected brothers are quite resembled each other. However, there are also some variations among different families. The disease occurred later in the first pair of brothers and was accompanied by macroglossia and red-green color blindness, while the second pair got the disease earlier, which was accompanied by heart impairment. It is interesting that both myogenic and neurogenic changes of EMG can be found in the same patient with BMD in our series.

Three cases of recurrent generalized muscle spasms in China.

Three cases of recurrent generalized muscle spasms were reported. All three cases are of Chinese descent and show some typical features of recurrent painful muscle cramps, alopecia, diarrhea and abnormalities of bone and endocrine systems. Recurrent generalized muscle spasms or Satoyoshi's disease is recognized as an entity of the disease not only in Japan but also in China. The result that one of the three cases is associated with myasthenia gravis might suggest an immunological abnormality as a mechanism of the disease.
