[Anomalies of the path of closure].

Authors show some examples of shuting-way abnormalities. They show that only alveolar inclination can, by changing these abnormalities, modify the maxillo-mandibular occlusion.

Pi-Gm linkage: evidence for linkage in males but not in females and for an effect of the S allele of the Pi system.

Linkage between the Pi (alpha 1-antitrypsin) and Gm (immunoglobulin heavy chain) loci was studied in thirty-four families including forty-one informative parents and 142 children. In females, the results did not provide evidence for linkage (posterior probability of non-linkage 0.98). In contrast, in males, there was strong evidence for linkage (peak lod 3.9 at theta = 0.18, posterior probability of linkage 0.98). The two populations appeared to be significantly different (0.001 less than P less than 0.01) with respect to the heterogeneity criterion of Morton. In addition, the effect of the possession of the S allele (associated with significantly decreased serum alpha 1-antitrypsin levels) was studied in fifteen informative parents and fifty-three children of the same group. No evidence for or against linkage was found in females, but in males close linkage between Pi S and Gm was demonstrated (peak lod 7.7 at theta = 0.05, posterior probability of linkage 0.9999). These data indicate significant linkage between Pi and Gm in males but not females and close linkage between the Pi S and Gm markers in males.

[Is germectomy of the wisdom teeth truly of value in orthodontics? (author's transl)].

The long-term results of treatment of various dentomaxillary dysharmonies demonstrate that these are influenced very little or not at all by prophylactic germectomy of the wisdom teeth. It would appear, in fact, that recurrent malpositioning in the anterior region is related more to problems concerning variations in inclination of the alveolar processes, than to a suggested posterior encumbrance.

[Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome : analysis of craniofacial architecture in six cases (author's transl)].

The trichorhinophalangeal syndrome, first described by Giedon in 1966, is a condition characterized not only by skeletal, nasal, and phanerian anomalies, but by typical changes in craniofacial architecture : the vertical height of the face and cranium is increased, and there is broadening of the sagittal maxillomandibular width compensatory bilateral retroalveoli. According to Delaire, who analyzed the craniofacial architecture, the primary etiological feature of the characteristic craniofacial modifications observed in this syndrome is a reduction in size of the craniofacial basal structure.

[Parotid calcinosis of the pseudo-tumoral type (author's transl)].

An atypical feature of a further case of salivary calcinosis reported was its exclusively unilateral parotid site. The clinical appearance was that of a pseudo-tumor following a long period of a spontaneously regressive unilateral parotid swelling. The co-existence of a Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome was confirmed clinically by the presence of a xerostomia, and radiologically by suggestive signs after a parotid sialogram. Immunological features were atypical in nature.

[Solitary tumors of the vagus nerve in the carotid sulcus: neurofibroma and schwannoma. Apropos of 2 cases].

Neurinoma of the vagus is a rare disease (less than a hundred cases published) and even more exceptional when it develops in the carotid cervical sulcus. Indeed, nevous tumors of the neck are usually situated in a high position, in the lateo-pharyngeal space. Clinical diagnosis is difficult: a chronical enlarged lymph node is the usual suggestion. Nevertheless, two signs, albeit inconsistent are very important: cough and bradycardia on palpation of the tumefaction. Enucleation, when possible, is the best procedure for exeresis, leaving the recurrent fibers intact. But in most cases, the tumor cannot be separated from the nervous fibers and the vagus nerve must be severed at both ends. This results in definitive paralysis of the homolateral vocal cord. Microscopically, it is not always easy to distinguish between neurofibroma and schwannoma because both tumors share a common cytogenetic origin and many intermediary forms are found. Only electronic microscopy can solve litigious cases. The importance of this distinction is not only speculative, a schwannoma assumes a solitary course but a neurofibroma may belong to Recklinghausen's disease. Both schwannoma and the rare solitary neurofibroma of the cervical portion of the vagus nerve can be surgically removed, their prognosis is favorable. nervous tumors of the neck in Recklinghausen's Disease must not be operated on account of possible aggravation.

[Orthodontic and surgical approach to mandibular prognathia. Prevention of recurrences].

The authors emphasize the necessity for a combined orthodontic and surgical approach to the problems posed by the treatment of mandibular prognathia. They feel that the major source of recurrences is related to the alveolar changes which accompany the new basal maxillo-mandibular relationship and the resultant modifications in muscular equilibrium. The prevention of recurrences must therefore take into account the prediction of adaptive remodelling of the alveolar processes.

Effects of temperature, solution composition, and type of container on the stability and absorption of carmustine.

The stability and absorption of carmustine were studied comparatively in glass flasks and Stedim 6 bags. Stedim 6 is a new, multilayer, polyethylene-lined film. When stored at room temperature (22 degrees C +/- 2 degrees C) in the dark, carmustine decomposed in 5% dextrose solution and more so in 0.9% sodium chloride solution. When stored at 4 degrees C +/- 0.5 degrees C, the losses were identical in the glass flasks and Stedim 6 bags (about 11% after 72 hours). As long as they are kept in the dark at 4 degrees C, carmustine admixtures can be prepared up to 48 hours before administration, in either dextrose or sodium chloride isotonic solutions, and stored in either glass flasks or Stedim 6 bags.
