Primary liposarcoma of the lung: report of a case.

We reported one case of a primary liposarcoma of the lung which has been reported only in six cases to date worldwide, and we added some documented study. A 49-year-old female complained of exertional dyspnea with about 100 ml of hemoptysis. The chest X ray showed a coin lesion at the left upper field. After left pneumonectomy, the histological examination revealed liposarcoma of the lung. Six months after the operation, she died from severe dyspnea; the autopsy revealed the relapse of liposarcoma in the right lung, and no liposarcomas in other organs. This is the seventh case according to a worldwide review of the literature.

Micropuncture measurement of lung microvascular pressure during 5-HT infusion.

We punctured subpleural microvessels in 19 isolated blood-perfused dog lung lobes to determine the effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the pulmonary microvascular pressure profile. Maintaining lobe airway pressure at 6 cmH2O and lobe venous pressure at 10 cmH2O we infused saline alone (10 microliter/min) in 10 control lobes and 5-HT in saline solution (100--150 micrograms/min) in 9 lobes. We measured pressures in subpleural microvessels using micropipettes connected to a servo-null system. The 5-HT infusion doubled lobar vascular resistance. In all microvessels upstream from the 150-micrometer venules, pressure was higher than in the control lobes. In contrast to the control lobes, pressure dropped markedly from the lobar artery to the 50-micrometer arterioles and from the venous capillaries to the 50-micrometer venules. We conclude that 5-HT not only constricted arterioles, but also raised lung microvascular pressure by constricting postcapillary venules.

[Experience in use of amoxicillin tablets for treatment of cases mostly of acute tympanitis (author's transl)].

Amoxicillin tablets (50 mg (potency)/tablet) were administered to 14 cases of acute tympanitis and one case of acute tonsillitis, and the following results were obtained. (1) Of 15 cases in total, 3 cases were remarkably improved, 11 improved, and one not improved; that is, the effective rate was 93%. (2) Acute simple tympanitis: 6 cases, effective rate 100%. Acute suppurative tympanitis: 8 cases, effective rate 88%. Acute tonsillitis: 1 case, improved. (3) There was one case of diarrhea which appeared to be a side effect of this drug.
