We have observed non-myelomatous monoclonal hypergammaglobulinaemia in a 61-year-old man with Sézary syndrome. Similar cases have not been reported before. Sézary cells of patients studied by other investigators were found to be helper T cells. The abundant production of T-lymphocytic stimuli may possibly explain in our case the occurrence of a paraprotein.
The proliferative activity of human neoplasms may be an important determinant for therapeutic management. The advent of automated flow-through systems measuring cellular DNA content by means of fluorescence has considerably facilitated the analysis of cellular kinetics. Using a pulse cytophotometer ICP-11 (Phywe Co., Göttingen, Germany), three different fluorescent staining techniques for DNA histogram measurement on human hemopoietic cells were tested: mithramycin, ethidium bromide, and a combination of ethidium bromide and mithramycin. Employing the tritiated thymidine labeling index as reference standard for comparison with the DNA histogram-derived S-phase fractions, linear correlations were obtained using ethidium bromide alone and ethidium bromide in combination with mithramycin as staining techniques. The fluorescence intensity was increased fourfold to fivefold by the use of the two-dye combination, resulting in a substantial decrease in the coefficient of variation of DNA histograms to 1.5%-2%. This augmented histogram resolution is an important codition for detecting small-degree numeric chromosomal aberrations and discrete drug perturbation effects.
Pulse cytophotometry is a reliable rapid technique rendering a detailed direct analysis of the distribution of cells in G1/10, S, and (G2 + M) phase. We used a Phywe pulse cytophotometer ICP 11 to monitor cell cycle progression of synchronized human lymphoma cells in culture. With mithramycin as the fluorescent dye, sample processing is fast and provides DNA histograms of high resolution and precision. Results obtained from these histograms are in excellent agreement with those obtained by conventional techniques. Thus, we have established the conditions necessary to apply pulse cytophotometry for studies of drug-induced cytokinetic effects on this cell line.

Megakaryocytes from a case of aleukemic megakaryocytic myelosis were examined by electron microscope. They were considerably increased in number and their ultrastructure was different from normal megakaryocytes in certain aspects. Myelinfigures became demonstrable in the cytoplasm in increased number. An effective development of the demarcation membran system could not be observed.
