Intracranial chondrosarcoma--case report.

The authors report the case of a 54-year-old male who was found to have a large intracranial chondrosarcoma at the site from which chondromas had been partially removed twice, 6 and 10 years previously. On the third admission, the second through tenth and the twelfth cranial nerves on the right side were involved. Computed tomographic scans showed a large mass in the right middle and posterior fossae and the right ethmoid sinus. Angiography demonstrated an extradural mass in the right middle fossa. The tumor in the middle and posterior fossae was subtotally removed, and second, third, and eighth cranial nerve function improved postoperatively. Histological examination of tumor specimens showed active proliferation of poorly differentiated cartilagenous cells, suggestive of sarcomatous transformation of the pre-existing chondroma. It is emphasized that chondromas should be removed as completely as possible and that patients must be followed carefully after surgery.

[The CT images of peripheral adenocarcinoma--comparison with the positive group and negative in pre-operative diagnosis].

The authors compared CT images of the patients where confirmed diagnosis was able to obtain with bronchoscopy adenocarcinoma occurring at the periphery before operation, particularly of adenocarcinoma of T1, with those of the patients where confirmed diagnosis was unable to obtain, and in the results we were unable to find the difference between both CT images. It was considered accordingly that X-ray CT was useful for the diagnosis of the peripheral type pulmonary adenocarcinoma, especially that with small shadows, and that it may become one of the influential methods for the diagnosis of small lung cancer.

Analysis of urinary aldosterone metabolites in the rabbit by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

After a large amount of aldosterone was injected into a male rabbit, urine was collected for 48 h. Separation of urinary aldosterone metabolites into monoglucosiduronate fraction and monosulphate fraction was carried out by a combination of countercurrent distribution and DEAE-Sephadex A-25 column chromatography. Each fraction was hydrolyzed with enzyme and free steroids released were separated by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The free steroid was then identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In monoglucosiduronate fraction, 3 alpha, 5 beta-tetrahydroaldosterone and 3 beta, 5 alpha-tetrahydroaldosterone were found. On the other hand, 3 alpha, 5 beta-tetrahydroaldosterone was the only aglycone detected in monosulphate fraction. These findings comfirmed results in the preceding paper, where the free steroid was characterized on the basis of the mobility of the steroid and its derivatives on paper chromatography.

The metabolism of aldosterone and 3 alpha, 5 beta-tetrahydroaldosterone in the rabbit.

Analysis of urinary metabolites of [1, 2-3H]-aldosterone and [1, 2-3H]-3 alpha, 5 beta-tetrahydroaldosterone was performed in male rabbits. The preliminary separation of urinary metabolites was carried out by submitting these metabolites to countercurrent distribution. Further separation of each fraction thus obtained was achieved by means of DEAE-Sephadex A-25 column chromatography. The separated peak was then hydrolyzed with the enzyme and the free steroid released was identified on the basis of the mobilities of the steroid and its derivatives on paper chromatography. After the injection of [1, 2-3H]-aldosterone, a major urinary metabolite was characterized as monosulphate of 3 alpha, 5 beta-tetrahydroaldosterone. In addition, a small amount of the monoglucosiduronate fraction was found in the urine. 3 alpha, 5 beta-tetrahydroaldosterone and 3 beta, 5 alpha-tetrahydroaldosterone were detected as aglycones in this fraction. After the injection of [1, 2-3H]-3 alpha, 5 beta-tetrahydroaldosterone, a similar pattern of urinary radiometabolites was observed. The close similarity between the profile of urinary metabolites of [1, 2-3H]-aldosterone and that of [1, 2-3H]-3 alpha, 5 beta-tetrahydroaldosterone suggests that the conversion of aldosterone to 3 alpha, 5 beta-tetrahydroaldosterone is needed before the conjugation processes take place.

The metabolism of 17beta-estradiol-3-glucosiduronate and estrone-3-glucosiduronate in the rabbit.

[6, 7-3H]-17beta-Estradiol-3-glucosiduronate, [6, 7-3H]-estrone-3-glucosiduronate or [6, 7-3H]-estrone was administered intravenously into the rabbit, and analysis and identification of the urinary metabolites were carried out. In either case, the major urinary metabolite was found to be a diconjugate. The sequential enzymic hydrolysis indicated that this diconjugate was glucosiduronate-N-acetyglucosaminide of 17alpha-estradiol. From these results, the conversion of the estrogen glucosiduronate into a diconjugate was thought a rather universal phenomenon in the rabbit.

Role of local hyperfibrinolysis in the etiology of chronic subdural hematoma.

The authors describe studies performed on material aspirated from chronic subdural hematomas. Patients were given 51Cr-labeled red cells prior to aspiration, and it was possible to demonstrate that the mean daily hemorrhage into the hematoma space amounted to 10.2% of its volume. Immunoelectrophoresis of the aspirated hematoma fluid by monospecific anti-human fibrinogen revealed the presence of fibrin and fibrinogen degradation products that, measured by hemagglutination-inhibition immunoassay techniques, varied between 5.0 and 10,500 mug/ml with an average of 2604 mug/ml in 18 cases. The tissue activator was demonstrated by Todd's histological localization in the outer membrane of the chronic subdural hematoma in 11 cases, but not in the inner membrane. These results indicate that if a clot in the subdural space causes the formation of neomembrane, and excessive fibrinolysis occurs, the subdural clot would not only liquefy, but also enlarge by continuous hemorrhage from the neomembrane. Therefore, local hyperfibrinolysis and continuous bleeding are important in the etiology of the chronic subdural hematoma.

Further studies on the existence of a sensitizing factor to pressor agents in hypertension.

Further studies are reported on the existence of a sensitizing factor in plasma of hypertensive subjects, which increases the vascular sensitivity to pressor agents when injected iv into nephrectomized rats. Plasma samples from normotensive subjects, patients with malignant hypertension, normotensive dogs, and dogs with experimental renovascular hypertension were fractionated on Bio-Gel P-10 columns after cold acetone precipitation, and on DEAE-cellulose columns eluted with sodium chloride and pH gradients. The effect of the various fractions on the vascular sensitivity to angiotensin was tested utilizing nephrectomized rats. The sensitizing activity was found only in fractions obtained from plasma of hypertensive patients and dogs and it was concentrated primarily in three fractions. Th results suggest that the sensitizing factor is negatively charged at neutral pH and it could be a polypeptide or a small protein.
