Immunologic characterization of the mononuclear cell infiltrates in rheumatoid synovia, in rheumatoid nodules, and in lip biopsies from patients with Sjögren's syndrome.

Two subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules and 8 rheumatoid synovia from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA); and 2 parotid glands, 1 "pseudolymphoma," and 6 lip biopsies from patients with Sjogren's syndrome (SS) were studied to identify mononuclear cells. The palisading mononuclear cells in subcutaneous nodules had a surface membrane receptor for complement. B lymphocytes surrounded by larger numbers of non-B lymphocytes were found in RA synovium and between salivary ducts of SS lip biopsies. A "pseudolymphoma" obtained from a patient with SS consisted primarily of B lymphocytes. The predominant mononuclear cell in rheumatoid synovia and salivary glands in patients with RA and SS do not have surface membrane receptors from complement and are thus probably T lymphocytes or null cells.

Equine laryngeal hemiplegia. Part III. Treatment by laryngoplasty.

During the years 1971-1979, 127 horses with left laryngeal hemiplegia were studied. The physical characteristics and clinical signs observed in this study were recorded in Part I and Part II of ths series of papers. Of these 127 horses, 81 were treated by the laryngoplasty procedure. Complications of surgery are described and the effects of the operation on respiratory noise and performance are evaluated. In 54.8% of horses the chronic respiratory noise observed during exercise was apparently diminished or eliminated post-operatively. The performance of 44% of horses was apparently improved after surgery. Post-operative racing success occurred in 38% of horses treated. Satisfactory arytenoid adduction as assessed endoscopically within 9 days of surgery was achieved in 77% of cases. Surgical failure appeared to be related to cutting of the laryngeal cartilages by the prosthesis and techniques to minimise this are discussed.
