Histochemical patterns in human breast tumours.

Histochemical investigations carried out on 104 breast tumours (10 benign proliferations and 94 carcinomas) showed that breast carcinomas were characterized by various enzymological equipments in relation to tumour differentiation degree, histogenesis, functional stage, site of tumour cells in the carcinomatous islands or cords and to hormonal factors. Tumour cells -- stroma interrelationships study pointed out that high glycolysis (high LDH, NADPH2-TR, NADH2-TR activities) and an intense LEPA-activity of tumour cells seem to be favourable for proliferation and local tumour cells migration.

Smoking habits in Romania.

The main aspects and consequences of tobacco use resulting from a series of field surveys in Romania are reviewed. The proportion of smokers in middle-aged adults is about 10 per cent for women and 40 to 50 per cent for men. Cigarettes are practically the only form of tobacco consumed--cigars are very rarely smoked and pipe-smoking accounts for less than 1 per cent of tobacco use. Less than 10 per cent of smokers use more than 25 cigarettes a day. Age at starting to smoke is low, with a quarter of smokers taking up the habit by the age of 15. Ninety per cent of the smokers admit to inhaling, and about half the men and nearly all the women smoke filter cigarettes.

Coronary heart disease and risk factors in some special type collectivities.

Transversal epidemiologic investigations carried out in different populations from several regions of Romania : Gurghiu Valley (lumberjacks from a mountain region), Danube Delta and Razelm lagoon complex (fishermen), and Bucharest have shown that, in spite of the high caloric value of food and even of a high intake of saturated fats, mean serum cholesterol is lower in the rural areas than in Bucharest, probably owing to the strenuous physical work. However, except myocardial infarction, more frequent in the urban than in the rural regions, the other forms of coronary heart disease have a relatively higher frequency in villages, particularly atrial fibrillation and ECG signs of ischemia. These findings might be explained by a greater prevalence of hypertension in these populations. It is concluded that the risk factors, which act synergically, depend on the complex structure of the "ecologic niche".

A comparative study of allogenic "first set" and "second set" skin rejection in mice.

In our case, where the difference between donor WHT/Ht(H--2d) and recipient C57B1/6 (H--2b) was at the H--2 locus of histocompatibility, the FSg rejection occurred between the 6th and the 10th day, while the SSg rejection was two days earlier. The morphological study emphasized that the cellular infiltrate in the FSg is predominantly lymphocytic, while in the SSg it is predominantly granulocytic. The vascularization settles on the second day postgrafting in the FSg as well as in the SSg, but is scarce and quickly destroyed in the SSg, thus being explained the scanty supply of lymphocytes in the latter graft type. The histochemical reactions demonstrated an increase of the NMPS in skin allograft from the moment of settling till the end of the rejection and a decrease of AMPS, till the complete disappearance, in the rejected graft. Little morphological differences were found between colateral draining nodes and contralateral ones during the reaction to the graft. An important feature described is the presence at the bed graft level of some cells morphologically identical to the IB encountered in great number in the TDA of lymph nodes in the allograft-bearing mice.
