[Synthetic PH-RH as a pituitary function test in anorexia nervosa].

The hypophyseal gonadotrophin LH reserve was studied in 9 adult women, 5 of whom were suffering from nervous anorexia (N.A.) and 4 normal, by means of subcutaneous injection of 50 mcg of synthetic GN-RH. Basal values of plasmatic LH proved to be significantly lower in N.A. than in the controls where the response to GN-RH was prompt. In patients with N.A., on the other hand, response was practically absent and differences were significant at all stages of the test. The parallel study of basal steroiduria and following methopirone confirmed the torpid hypophyseal response in N.A. These findings confirm previous personal reports and indicate that the GN-RH test is a useful technique for diagnostic and prognostic definition of N.A.

[The vanishing testis syndrome. Considerations on a case].

The aetiopathogenesis and clinical and diagnostic features of bilateral absence of the testicles in 46XY subjects are briefly reviewed. A eunuchoid 25-yr-old patient with male sex chromatin, 46 XY genotype, plasma testosterone slightly below normal, normal urinary 17-KS unaltered by gonadotropin stimulation, and bilateral absence of the testicles is presented. Examination of the inguinal canal showed a funiculus and ductus deferens residue terminating in an adipose mass. Section of the fibrous duct showed that this mass was full of capillaries and venules. Lesion between the 14th and 16th week of pregnancy is postulated.

[Controlled application of cynarin in the treatment of hyperlipemic syndrome. Observations in 60 cases].

In a controlled trial 2 groups of 30 patients presenting various dislipidemic pictures were treated for 50 days with either 3,5-dihydroxy-1,4-bis-(3,4-dihydroxy-cinnamoyloxy)-cyclohexan-carbonic acid-(1) (cynarin, Listrocol) or placebo. Cynarin provied to be able to induce a significant reduction of the hypercholesteremia, the level of pre-beta-lipoproteins, the beta/alpha-lipoprotein ratio and patients' body weight. The administration of cynaria is, therefore, deemed useful in the prophylaxis and therapy of dislipidemic pictures of the arteriosclerotic disease.
