[Results of treatment of meningitis during a 10-year period].

A review of 131 cases of purulent meningitis is presented. The patients are mainly non-pediatric and, because of that, meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae predominates. This is the main reason for the high overall mortality of 15.6%. The main etiological cause of lethal meningitis was Streptococcus pneumoniae, and it is discussed whether chloramphenicol, previously shown to exert an antagonistic effect on beta-lactam antibiotics, contributes to the relatively high mortality. It is suggested that chloramphenicol should be withdrawn from meningitis treatment and replaced by cefuroxime.

Rubidium uptake of mononuclear leukocytes from normotensive and borderline hypertensive first degree relatives to patients with essential hypertension.

Uptake of 86Rubidium of mononuclear leukocytes (MNL) was used as a measure of cellular sodium-potassium pump activity. 86Rb-uptake was determined with the pump stimulated mainly from inside the cells by sodium as well as with a combined stimulation from inside by sodium and from outside by Rb. In the first case there was an increased pump activity in MNL from borderline hypertensive offspring of hypertensive patients (BHO), and this may be related to an increased number of pump sites observed previously (10). Estimation of maximal pump activity (Vmax) of MNL suggested that Vmax of each pump site in MNL from BHO may be decreased compared to control value of MNL from healthy normotensive subjects.

Cytogenetic studies of 11 meningiomas and their clinical significance. II.

Cytogenetic analyses of 11 consecutive cases of meningiomas from 7 female and 4 male patients are reported. Chromosomal abnormalities were found in all cases. Only two of the cases showed cells with normal karyotype in addition to the abnormal stemline. Two of the cases displayed a more aggressive growth pattern than is usually seen in meningiomas. The first case was characterized by tumor invasion into the bone, a stemline with monosomy 22 and a hyperhaploid sideline. The second case was characterized by recurrency and a hypodiploid stemline. Extended clonal evolution was observed in one case.

Cytogenetic studies of 19 meningiomas and their clinical significance. I.

Cytogenetic analysis of 19 meningiomas from 10 female and 9 male patients are reported. Chromosomal abnormalities were found in all cases with a stemline karyotype 45, XY, -22 or 45, XX, -22. Three of these had additional sidelines: (a) 44, XX, -1, -4, -6, -8, -22, +19, +del(1) (:p33----q43), +dup(1) (p24----q31) t(1;1) (pter----p33::ter): (b) 44, X, -9, -14, -22, -X, +4, +del(X) (pter----q26), and (c) 44, XY, -19, -22, respectively.
