[Proteinuria selectivity: description of a new index].

An improved simple method for determination of selectivity index has been described. This new index (Creteil index) has been compared to Cameron index. The correlation between both indexes has been 0.949 (R-squared). Creteil index is a less expensive method because only two determinations are requisited in serum and urine: albumin and IgG. In Cameron index, transferrin and IgG are detected and albumin has to be measured in addition in the blood to appreciate the nephrotic syndrome.

[Paraneoplasic Cushing' syndrome. Neurosecretory granules in a lymph node metastasis in electronic microscopy (author's transl) (proceedings)].

The authors relate a case of paraneoplasic Cushing's syndrome by mediastinal tumor, probably of thymic origin. All the clinical and biological signs recall similar cases previously related. An "ACTH-like" substance has been found by biological method in a lymphoide metastasis. The main interest resides in the anatomo-pathological findings and more especially in electronic microscopy. The abundance of the neurosecretory granules is a characteristic feature of the malignant cells observed. These granules appear to the authors identical to those observed in other secretory thymomas and various tumors.
