[Clinical heterogeneity in patients with ocular myopathies].

We present the results of clinical, electrophysiological, and biopsy studies in patients with ocular myopathy. Nine patients (four women and five men) were included in these investigations. According to the biopsy findings the patients were divided into patients with oculocraniosomaltic syndrome (OCSS) and patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD). The presented clinical features, especially in the OCSS groups was more variable. Associated neurological and multisystem disturbances were characteristic of OCSS. Biopsy findings were of essential significance in distinguish these two conditions, especially in cases of the late onset.

[Histologic changes in peripheral nerves in rats with chronic copper poisoning].

The results of histochemical and histopathologic tests of a periphery nerve in rats which were chronically poisoned with copper, are presented. The tests were performed on 45 albino Wistar female rats, which were poisoned with pure copper powder in an inhalation chamber for one year. The control group consisted of 16 rats. By histochemical test the copper pigment was found in 46.66% of the poisoned rats. It was located in epineurium and perineurium, cells and less in the endoneurium. It was also found in cells of the blood vessel media of a periphery nerve. Histopathological changes in a periphery nerve were discrete and they appeared in the form of certain swollen axones.

Neoplastic angioendotheliomatosis (NAE) of the CNS in a patient with AIDS subacute encephalitis, diffuse leukoencephalopathy and meningo-cerebral cryptococcosis.

A 12-year-old, hemophilic boy died with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) after a clinical course characterized by progressive psycho-organic syndrome and opportunistic infections. Postmortem neuropathological examination revealed a cerebral form of neoplastic angioendotheliomatosis (NAE), leukoencephalopathy, giant cell encephalitis and meningo-cerebral cryptococcosis. The most unusual finding was the presence of proliferated neoplastic cells within lumina of some blood vessels throughout the central nervous system (CNS). These cells displayed cytologic features of malignancy and stained positively for common leukocyte antigen. Coronal sections showed diffuse cerebral and cerebellar leukoencephalopathy with most pronounced loss of myelin and axons in deep white matter, while the subcortical arcuate fibers and the corpus callosum were partially spared. In these areas numerous small foci of severe myelin loss were present. Microglial nodules and distinctive multinucleated giant cells (MGC) were numerous. Intracytoplasmic and intranuclear acidophilic inclusions were found in a few multinuclear and mononuclear cells. Close contact between mononuclear and multinuclear cells suggesting their fusion was also observed. As far as we know this is the first case of NAE encountered in AIDS, one of the rare primary cerebral forms and the youngest reported case of NAE up to now. This case could be considered as one proof more that NAE is a special form of malignant lymphoma.

[Surgical treatment of habitual luxation of the shoulder joint using the Dickson-O'Dell method. Our modification].

The authors have presented their experience in the treatment of 40 patients with habitual dislocation of the shoulder joints using the method of Dickson-O'Dell during a period of 10 years. They have compared their results with results obtained by other methods and consider their modification as the method of choice on the basis of excellent results obtained in their patients.
