Immunologic alterations and active aspecific immunotherapy in lung cancer patients.

An immunologic study was undertaken on 89 lung cancer patients and on the basis of results obtained so far, a protocol of active, aspecific immunotherapy by living bacterial vaccines (BCG) and/or synthetic immunopotentiator (methisoprinol) was carried out. First results obtained in patients undergoing immunostimulation are reported together with the observation that while positive humoral effects seem present in stage I and II patients, in cases of spread of the disease results are substantially negative.

[Prolactin in pathology of the breast. Clinical study ].

In the last years many Authors on the grounds of clinical and experimental studies have assumed the possibility of a connection between the prolactin and the breast pathology especially the carcionoma. In the present work the Authors give the results of the doses of the prolactin plasmatic basal levels, performed on 122 subjects belonging to 4 different groups: 1) patients with carcinoma of the breast; 2) patients with benign tumors of the breast; 3) patients with fibrocystic breast disease; 4) subjects of control. In patients who have undergone an operation further doses of blood prolactin have been carried out on 5th, 10th, 30th day after operation. On the grounds of such results the Authors propose new hypothesis of work wich will help to clear this problem.

[Behavior of the plasma level of digoxin in the rat in induced experimental hyperreninemia].

PRA, plasma and urine aldosterone levels and plasma digoxin were measured in rats in which digoxin had been administered under conditions of high PRA and high aldosterone levels experimentally induced by administering distilled water load and in rats in which digoxin had been administered without distilled water load. Results show that under conditions of high PRA and high aldosterone levels, plasma digoxin concentrations as measured 6 h after treatment were higher (45,3%) than in rats having received digoxin without water load. In assays carried out on rats sacrificed 12 h after digoxin treatment (with or without water load) all values approach basic levels again, thus suggesting that in rats too aldosterone might compete with digoxin at the level of tubular excretion.
