[Lactate dehydrogenase activity in the diagnosis of retinoblastoma].

The authors examined the lactic dehydrogenase activity and that of its isoenzymes in a group of 22 orbit with a confirmed diagnosis of retinoblastoma. They investigated and evaluate total LDH in the vitreous humour and blood serum and the ration of isoenzymes LDH 5 to LDH 1 in the same media. The assembled results confirmed that in eyes with retinoblastomas a significant pathological rise not only of the total LDH takes place but the response of isoenzymes is even more sensitive. The examination is therefore a qualitative asset to the clinical diagnosis of retinoblastoma.

[Screening for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency in neonates].

In a two-year investigation 113,274 children were screened for alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. An original and cheap method was used. In children with an alpha-1-antitrypsin values lower than 1.5 g/l the phenotype was assessed. In 120 neonates alpha-1-antitrypsin was assessed by screening and also quantitatively. The physiological range of alpha-1-antitrypsin for neonates is: 1.4-3.32 g/l. A low incidence of alpha-1-antitrypsin in the Czechoslovak population, as compared with investigations abroad, was revealed. The authors discuss the possibility to extend screening from the clinical, ethical and economic aspect to the entire republic.
