[Effects of glucocorticoids on the gastrointestinal tract of normal rats and rats deficient in endogenous prostaglandins].

Here are studied the effects of administration of prednisolone on intestinal tract of normal rats and of rats into which a lack of prostaglandins has been caused and shown. The appearance of ulcerative lesions of the same type and of the same size in both groups of the studied animals might lead us to believe that the ulcerative action of glucocorticoids, at least in some cases, may be independent from the production of prostaglandins and may thus be attributed to other mechanisms.

[Percutaneous embolization of renal cancer. Clinical evaluation (author's transl)].

The authors deal with 17 cases of renal adenocarcinoma treated with preventive embolization, widened nephrectomy and total parenteral nutrition, as well as one case of palliative definitive embolization in a patient who could not be operated. The most remarkable clinical aspects turned out to be in the easier and safer maneuverability under surgery, a decrease in mortality during and after the operation, reduced consumption of blood units, and a better which were treated only with purely surgical therapy.

[Effects of indomethacin on rats kept on a normal diet and on a diet without prostaglandin precursors].

The effects of diet lack of precursors of prostaglandins on the rat's gastrointestinal tract are described. Afterwards the different seriousness of the ulcerative lesions caused by indomethacin on normal rats and on rats kept on a diet lack of precursors of prostaglandins is weighed. The achieved experiment permits to confirm the cytoprotective effect of prostaglandins on the gastrointestinal tract and to suppose this effect should take place above all in reply to ulcerogenic exogenous stimulants.

[Therapeutic angiographic occlusion with a modified autologous clot. Case report].

Therapeutic arterial embolization with autologous clot is readily applied in urology. The procedure is particularly effective in those cases where a temporary blockage of the artery is required, enough to cause a definitive haemostasis in noble parenchymas sensitive to ischaemia. However this method is not limited only to poor risk patients ("life-threatening"); it may be preferable to surgical operation, as in the case studied, of postraumatic, intraparenchymal arterovenous fistula. In their presentation, the authors also take into consideration several technical side-effects, helping towards correct execution.

[Transluminal angioplasty of the renal artery for renovascular hypertension (author's transl)].

The authors report an interesting case of dilatation of renal artery stenosis by inflation of the balloon of a catheter engaged in the stenosed arterial lumen inserted percutaneously under arteriographic control. The patient's hypertension responded within a few hours and plasma renin levels in the systemic circulation became normal within a few days. This result was stable at 2 months. In the opinion of the authors, this technique of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, initially used for arterial obstructions of the lower limbs, carotid and coronary obstructions, should find a wide field of application in the area of renovascular hypertension.

[The subclavian approach as an alternative to the femoral approach in selective cervicocephalic phlebography (author's transl)].

The authors describe the technique employed for selective catheterization of the main mediastinal trunks and the veins of the brachiocephalic and cervicocephalic regions by means of the subclavian approach. The importance and advantages of this procedure as an alternative to the femoral approach, especially if this is contra-indicated, are emphasized.

[Chromosome aberrations studied in short and long-term cultures of lymphocytes from patients with chronic hepatitis].

Chromosome aberrations of short and long-term cultured lymphocytes have been studied in 12 subjects with chronic hepatitis B. Short-term cultures show "stickiness", aneuploidy, and fragmentations. Long-term cultures show minor damages, made up almost totally of "lacunae" and sporadic fragmentations. Major size chromosomes appear to be more affected, among the latter those containing sites for the interferon. This latter findings would suggest that the interferon decrease in patients might be bound, even only partially to the virus-linked chromosome alterations.
