[Gastrointestinal leiomyosarcoma].

The clinical course of 12 patients was analyzed in a retrospective study; all of these patients were operated on a gastrointestinal leiomyosarcoma. The most common site of metastasis was the liver (33%). These data confirm that histologic grade, size and the extent of resection are the most important prognostic factors. Because the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant smooth muscle tumors is often quite difficult and a high risk of local recurrence the enucleation of these tumors is insufficient.

[Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the stomach: diagnostic and therapeutic procedure].

It is reported on 13 patients with gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, who underwent surgery between Jan 1st, 1984, and Sept 1st, 1987. Common symptoms included abdominal pain, weight loss and decline in health and strength. Endoscopy or barium studies had established the diagnosis of a gastric neoplasma in 12 cases. A total gastrectomy (n = 4) or a distal resection (B I n = 3, B II n = 5) was performed, depending on the size of the tumor and its location. Potentially curative resection was followed by radiotherapy in patients with high-grade lymphoma (stage I E). Patients with involvement of regional lymph nodes and advanced gastric lymphoma (stage II E1-IV E) underwent postoperative chemotherapy. So far follow-up (mean 25.3 months) revealed one case of relapse. These results confirm the value of surgical treatment in diagnosis, staging and treatment of primary gastric lymphoma. Survival in patients with advanced lymphoma and high-grade malignancy can be improved significantly by radical tumor resection, followed by multiagent chemotherapy and radiation.

[Studies on the state of vitamins B1, B2 and B6 in Down's syndrome].

In 110 children-between 0-16 years of age-, 90 children with Down-syndrome and 20 controls the following metabolic parameter were analyzed: ETK (vitamin-B1-activating coefficient), EGR (vitamin B2), P-5'-P, EGOT (vitamin B6), GOT, GPT, pH, K, Na, Ca, Cl, uric-acid (HS). Among some important correlations between the different parameters it could be demonstrated-for the first time to our knowledge-that in Mongoloids a disturbance of the vitamin-B1-metabolism exists, certified by the so-called transketolase-test.
