Reticuloendothelial system Fc receptor function in systemic lupus erythematosus: effect of decreased sensitization on clearance of autologous erythrocytes.
Recent reports of reticuloendothelial system Fc receptor function using anti-Rh(D) coated red blood cells (RBC) provide conflicting data regarding the degree of abnormality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The effect of different sensitizing doses of anti-Rh(D) on Fc receptor function was evaluated in 10 controls and 9 patients with SLE (5 with renal disease, 4 without) using 1 microgram anti-Rh(D) (6,700 molecules anti-Rh(D)/RBC by saturation analysis) and 0.125 microgram anti-Rh(D) (1,100 molecules/RBC). At the lower sensitizing dose the sensitivity of the assay was significantly increased. To correctly interpret the significance of studies of Fc receptor function from different centers, it is necessary to know the exact sensitizing doses used for each study.

Effectiveness of routine periodontal treatment with and without adjunctive metronidazole therapy in a sample of mentally retarded adolescents.
A sample of mentally retarded adolescents with moderate periodontal disease was given conventional treatment with and without adjunctive metronidazole therapy following consent of guardians. Antibiotics or placebo tables were taken 1 week following prophylaxis in a double blind clinical trial. Six months after the baseline examinations, there were no significant differences between the treatment and control groups in the mean attachment level or the proportions of microorganisms in subgingival pockets.
