[Clinical relevance of the "cockade phenomenon" in abdominal ultrasonic diagnosis].

The ultrasonic diagnosis "cockade sign" in patients with unexplained abdominal complaints was investigated by means of endoscopy and X-ray studies of the gastrointestinal tract. The following final diagnoses were established: gastric cancer in 24 patients (16,2%), colonic carcinoma in 31 patients (21%), intraabdominal tumor without infiltration of the GI-tract in 19 patients (12,8%), inflammatory bowel disease in 35 patients (23,6%). In 39 patients (26,4%) no inflammatory or neoplastic process of the GI-tract could be found. Most of these patients were suffering of a spastic colon. If a tumor of the gastrointestinal tract can be made visible by ultrasonography, this may shorten the diagnostic procedure. However, ultrasonic investigation of the abdomen cannot exclude an abdominal inflammatory or neoplastic process. Therefore, it is only useful as a screening procedure.

Possible involvement of messenger RNA-associated proteins in protein synthesis.

Two distinct forms of globin messenger RNA were isolated from mouse spleen cells infected with Friend erythroleukemia virus: polyribosomal messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (15S mRNP), and their corresponding protein-free mRNAs obtained by chemical deproteinization. The translation efficiencies of both messenger forms were assayed in a Krebs II ascites cell-free system. Selective removal of RNA-binding proteins from the ascites cell lysate did not affect globin synthesis when the mRNA was supplied as 15S mRNP; deproteinized mRNA however was not translated. Only in the presence of two fractions of RNA-binding proteins was the protein-free mRNA translated. Some of the RNA-binding proteins have the same molecular weights and isoelectric points as the principal proteins of 15S mRNP.

[Comparative study on the diagnostic value of direct and indirect cholangiography].

The examinations contain the findings of the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography in 600 patients, the date of a controlled comparative study intravenous cholangiotomography versus endoscopic retrograde cholangiography in 45 patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography and the results of the percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography in 54 patients. In anicteric patients and after subsidence of the clinical symptoms the optimum use of the intravenous cholegraphy with tomography is to be demanded. It is able multiply to clarify the diagnosis. The terminal part of the choledochus deserves particular consideration. In obstructive jaundice the percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography is essentially more successful and simpler than the endoscopic retrograde cholangiography.
