Leukocytosis and fibrinolytic activity of the blood in leukemic patients.

The relation between the levels of leukemic leukocytosis and blood fibrinolytic activity was studied in 58 patients with acute leukemia, 58 with chronic granulocytic leukemia, and 60 with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In all these groups, high levels of leukemic leukocytosis were associated with increased blood fibrinolytic activity. Differences between patients with high and low values of leukocytosis were statistically significant.

Neutrophil alkaline phosphatase activity in the early puerperium.

Neutrophil alkaline phosphatase studied cytochemically according to Kaplow's method in 20 healthy women aged 20 to 38 years, shows statistically significant, although transient, increase on the second day after physiological delivery and returns to initial values after several days. The above increase is unrelated to the increased enzyme activity observed in the terminal months of pregnancy in a majority of healthy women. It is associated with an increase in neutrophilic granulocytosis in the puerperial period.

Effect of indomethacin on lysosomal acid phosphatase activity in peripheral blood lymphocytes.

In 25 patients with discopathies and degenerative disease of the vertebral column, treated with indomethacin (Metindol, Polfa) in a dose of 100 mg per day during 10 days, the acid phosphatase (AP) activity was determined in the peripheral blood lymphocytes by means of the cytochemical method of Barka and Anderson. Indomethacin administration induced an increase of total lymphocytosis related to the elevation of the AP-negative lymphocyte count. These changes were accompained by an increased lymphocyte count including enzyme-positive lysosomal granules within their cytoplasm and a decrease of those showing diffuse enzymatic reaction and no granules. In the author's opinion, such changes reflect the stabilizing effect of indomethacin on lysosomal membranes within lymphocytes and a diminished release of this enzyme from lysosomes to the cytoplasm.
