Evaluation of histological classification in early gastric cancer (an analysis of 300 cases).

Using the Lauren approach of histological classification, 300 cases of early gastric cancer (EGC) were analysed with regard to their age distribution, to predisposing lesions, including gastritis, and survival rate. The average age of onset for EGC of the diffuse type is 56, ten years earlier than for the intestinal type. There was a significantly high percentage of EGC of the diffuse type without gastritis. On the other hand, gastritis in pernicious anaemia falls in the high-risk group. The survival rate in our cases is 98%, corrected for age. The results show that it is of utmost importance to differentiate between the histological types of gastric carcinoma; for there may be indeed a difference in pathogenesis and aetiology.

Studies of the viral flora in keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

Fifty patients suffering from KCS and exhibiting various patterns of corneal staining with fluorescein were examined for adenovirus types 3, 7, 8, and 14, herpes simplex, and the TRIC group by tissue culture and immunofluorescein techniques. No viruses were detected by either methods, and it is considered that presumption of virus involvement in these cases is untenable.
