[Bladder hernias].
The authors report 5 cases of bladder herniation through inguinal ring. All the patients were males aged between 52 and 72 years with a mean of 63 years. The clinic symptoms were non specific. In four cases the diagnosis was made by IVP. In the fifth case the bladder herniation was discovered after an incidental opening of the bladder during a right inguinal hernia repair. Four patients were operated on for replacement of the bladder and repair of the hernial ring; the procedure followed was Mac Vay technique in two cases, Shouldice in one case and placement of a Mersuture prosthesis in another case. The fifth patient was operated on because of major constraint related to his general conditions. Results was quite satisfactory in all operated cases with a mean control of 24 months.

S.E.M. study of urease-induced crystalluria in the presence of hydroxamic derivatives.
The effect of 3 hydroxamic acid derivatives on urease-induced crystalluria was studied in vitro. Acetohydroxamic acid is more effective than salicylhydroxamic and gentisohydroxamic acids in inhibiting the kinetic of urease enzymatic reaction and in retarding the formation of struvite and apatite. Crystal deposits studied by scanning electron microscope (S.E.M.) and X-ray microanalysis indicated that acetohydroxamic acid favours the formation of large crystals of struvite, and less aggregation is observed. Salicyl and gentiso derivatives favour the formation of brushite together with struvite and apatite.

Compound effects of bisulphite ion on frog skeletal muscle.
To characterize the structures of the nicotinic cholinoceptors in the frog rectus abdominis muscle, group-selective reagents have been used. Possible modifications of the excitation-contraction coupling have also been studied. The effect of the bisulphite ion on skeletal muscle has been demonstrated earlier at presynaptic and postsynaptic levels. Another report questioned whether these effects were significant to the contractile process in general. The present study shows that bisulphite induced qualitative and quantitative changes in the muscular response to acetylcholine and electrical stimulation. The intervention is likely at the level of excitation-contraction coupling as well as at the previously proposed sites.
