Powdered diatrizoic acid for radiography of the respiratory tract. Part II. Clinical application.

The diagnostic and clinical value of 41 examinations using insufflation and/or inhalation of powdered diatrizoic acid for tracheobronchography, tracheography, laryngography, nasopharyngography, and sinusography was investigated in 35 patients. Diatrizoic acid was found to be useful when applied by insufflation for demonstration of the nasopharynx, trachea and greater bronchi, especially in patients with airway stenosis and low pulmonary reserve. Double contrast images were obtained with good demonstration of anatomic details and adequate diagnostic value. Visualization of the peripheral bronchi by insufflation was satisfactory only when excessive secretions were not present. The inhalation method was adequate only for visualization of the trachea and main bronchi. The method was found to be safe since diatrizoic acid produced no toxic, allergic or febrile reactions and was given in relatively small amounts without impairment of respiratory function.

[Changes in the levels of total and protein-bound hydroxyproline in the serum and urine of patients with cancer of the larynx after radiotherapy].

The serum concentration of total and protein-bound hydroxyproline as well as urinary hydroxyproline excretion were measured in 52 laryngeal cancer patients before, during and after irradiation. The modified colorimetric method described by Prockop and Udenfriend was used. After irradiation the increased total hydroxyproline concentration and excretion were observed, whereas no changes in serum protein-bound hydroxyproline were stated. Any correlation between the results of therapy and serum/urinary hydroxyproline levels were observed.

[Effect of early local post-irradiation reaction on total and protein-bound hydroxyproline levels in the blood and urine of patients with laryngeal cancer].

In 52 laryngeal cancer patients treated by radiotherapy the serum and urine level of hydroxyproline was tested in connection with the intensity of local postirradiation reactions. The serum and urine level were tested by colorimetric method of Proctor and Udenfriend in Tomaszewski modification. In patients with second and third steps of local reaction intensity there was an elevated level of hydroxyproline only in urine. No correlation was observed between the serum level and local reaction.
