A case of metastatic lung cancer healed clinically with an extract from human tubercle bacilli (Maruyama vaccine--SSM).

1) A case of metastatic lung cancer derived from testicle is described which, in spite of continuing growth after the removal of the primary lesion, responded to the sole treatment of Maruyama vaccine (SSM) with completely satisfactory results and showed no recurrence over a period of 4 years. 2) The therapeutic course of the metastatic lung tumors in the present case showed a close correlation with the changes in the peripheral blood lymphocytes count and the alpha-2 globulin level. 3) The course of the response of the metastatic lung foci to the SSM therapy could be summarized as continued increase of tumors in size and number for the first 3 months, followed by shrinking, disappearance, and finally healing.

Combination therapy using 9,3"-di-O-acetyl-midecamycin with beta-lactam antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

The combined effect of beta-lactam antibiotics and 9,3"-di-O-acetylmidecamycin were examined in 10 patients diagnosed as having chronic respiratory tract infections and complicated urinary tract infections. Patients were initially treated with 3 to 10 g/day of beta-lactams as intravenous infusions or by oral route for a certain period, after which period they were treated concurrently with 0.3 to 0.9 g/day of 9,3"-di-O-acetylmidecamycin by oral route. Through this combination therapy eradication of P. aeruginosa was obtained in 2 cases and remarkable decrease in another 2 cases out of the 10 cases. This combination therapy was judged to be effective in these 4 cases. Of the remaining cases, P. aeruginosa was eliminated before the start of the combination therapy in 3 cases, and no change in bacterial count was noted after the combination therapy in the other 3 cases.
