[Severe psychiatric disorders associated with severe acute colitis].

Acute colitis occurring in patients suffering from psychiatric illnesses is believed to be linked to the intake of psychotropes. From 1983 to 1989, the authors observed, in three Hepato-gastroenterology units, 10 cases of acute colitis in patients suffering from serious psychiatric disorders, most of them inpatients of mental hospitals. The detailed study of 7 of these cases emphasized a certain number of common features: there was no previous history of digestive disease, the psychiatric illness was serious and longstanding, acute colitis was severe, and there was no recurrence during clinical and endoscopic follow-up averaging 4.3 years. Of these 7 patients, 2 were not taking psychotropes at the time of colitis or after, 2 had discontinued their treatment for a few days, and 2 had not stopped taking psychotropes. One patient died. The short-term and long-term evolution in these cases was not influenced by the intake or not of psychotropes. The pathogeny of this colitis is yet to be determined: infection is the most likely origin.

[Lactitol in the treatment of constipation in the adult. Open, non-comparative study of its efficacy and its clinical and biological tolerance].

To study clinical and biological tolerability, 114 chronically constipated patients of both sexes, aged 18-70, without any organic alteration of the colon, received lactitol over a period of one or two months. Clinical tolerability was found to be good by 80 per cent of patients and biological tolerability excellent. Clinical efficacy was found correct for 80 per cent of patients with a dosage of 20 g (single dose in the evening). All patients, except one, agreed with the packaging and the taste of the product.

Rioprostil, a new prostaglandin E1 analogue, in the once-daily treatment for the prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence: a comparison with ranitidine.

The efficacy of Rioprostil (a new prostaglandin E1 analogue) is compared with that of ranitidine in the recurrence prevention of duodenal ulcer(s). Duration of treatment is 6 months. Ninety-seven patients received rioprostil, 600 micrograms once-daily orally, and 110 patients received ranitidine, 150 mg once-daily orally. On rioprostil, 14.9% of patients showed a relapse after 6 months compared to 10.1% on ranitidine. Diarrhoea occurred in 7 patients on rioprostil and 3 patients on ranitidine. Rioprostil given 600 micrograms daily in the evening is a highly effective treatment for the prevention of duodenal ulcer relapse, the efficacy not being significantly different from ranitidine 150 mg.

Comparison of two sucralfate dosages presented in tablet form in duodenal ulcer healing.

Two hundred twenty-two patients with endoscopically proven duodenal ulcers participated in a controlled trial to assess and compare the effects of two dosage regimens of sucralfate tablets on ulcer healing, i.e., 1 g four times daily (group A, n = 131) and 2 g twice daily (group B, n = 128). Healing was defined as complete re-epithelialization. Clinical and endoscopic assessments were performed after four weeks (Day 28) and, if complete healing was not achieved, after four more weeks (Day 56). After four weeks, in group A (n = 114: eight patients were lost and nine were withdrawn), the ulcers had healed in 90 patients (79 percent), and in group B (n = 108: six patients were lost and 14 were withdrawn), the ulcers had healed in 80 patients (74 percent). The cumulative healing rates after eight weeks were 94 percent in group A and 95 percent in group B. No serious adverse effect was observed in either group. These results suggest that sucralfate tablets in a dosage of 2 g twice daily are as effective as 1 g four times daily in the treatment of acute duodenal ulcers and could lead to better patient compliance.

[A case of carcinoma of the stomach with calcification (author's transl)].

The authors found only 25 cases of calcified carcinoma of the stomach in the literature. The course in this case was rapidly fatal. Calcification within the tumour infiltrates the gastric wall and has a very characteristic miliary appearance, permitting one to make the diagnosis on a straight X-Ray of the abdomen. The mechanism of precipitation of calcium within certain mucus-secreting carcinomas has not been determined. Various theories are suggested.
