Marked interstitial edema in the dog kidneys after hemodilution was the most pronounced alteration, attributed to disorders in the capillary circulation depending upon the apparatus employed. This conclusion was supported by similar changes in animals subjected to various degrees of hemodilution. Widening of the glomerular space and compression of renal tubules were the direct consequences of interstitial edema. Histochemical reactions revealed damage of the cell membranes. Swelling of the ergastoplasm and lysosomes was interpreted as secondary to disorders in circulation of tissue fluid. The least pronounced changes concerned the mitochondria.

Mental disturbances in these patients were differentiated into sporadic psychopathological phenomena and chronic psychiatric syndromes. Sporadic episodes, which the authors identify with \"psychical seizures\", concerned 58 patients. They were manifested by psychomotor or psychosensory seizures, dismnesia and disthymia. Chronic psycho-organic syndromes were diagnosed in 85 patients. They were: dementive, characteropathic, dementive-characteropathic, oligophrenic and temporal lobe syndrome (according to Landolt). Psychopathological picture of posstraumatic epilepsy does not appear to be specific for the etiological factor. The relatively high number of patients with partial seizures of mixed symptomatology may indicate that head traumas frequently damage the limbic structures of the brain. Confirmed is the observation of other authors that there is a correlation between the temporal localization of epileptic focus and character disturbances.</p>","PeriodicalId":20338,"journal":{"name":"Polish medical sciences and history bulletin","volume":"15 1","pages":"131-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12175920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ligation of rat kidney with silk thread resulted in ischemic necrosis of tubules of compressed area followed by vivid regeneration. In that period mercury bichloride was administered intraperitoneally. The first detectable lesions appeared in mitochondrial swelling, condensation of endoplasmic reticulum, a decreased number of ribosomes and the presence of numerous vocuoles. Later on, the regenerating epithelium lost its brush broder and single cells became necrotic.

The immunological, clinical and histopathological observations of the patient for the period of 12 months of treatment are presented. The patient was given the biologically active thymus extract in the total amount of 14.2 mg in 34 subcutaneous injections initially in single dose of 0.1 mg and later on in amount of 0.5 mg. The remarkable restoration of the immunological reactivity of the patient from a total energy to the state of hyperreactivity has to be emphasized. It has been confirmed by the delayed hypersensitivity skin tests (Rt-23, PHA), the increase of the number of RFC (TEa and TEt rosette test with the SRBC), the diminishing of the autolymphocytotoxicity of the peripheral lymphocytes (evaluated by DTL) and also by the high level of the absolute number of circulating lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. The improvement of the clinical condition of the patient consisted in total regression of the inflammatory and functional changes in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems and also in the renal function. The regular rectal endoscopic examinations of the patient revealed the diminished size of the tumor and its unusual appearance described as an induration and sharp delimitation from the surrounding tissues. The histological examinations performed 5 times during the observation period of 11 months revaled the essential changes in the structure of the growth: the marked increase of the stroma with the signs of active proliferation, foci calcification and ossification. These changes were interpreted as extremely rare in the rectal cancer stroma and are considered to represent dystrophic calcification at the neoplastic foci followed by ossification. It should be also pointed out that twelve months survival of the patient with advanced rectal cancer and multiple metastases to the liver represents an unusually long rate in comparison to that generally accepted in the literature for this grade of rectal cancer advancement.</p>","PeriodicalId":20338,"journal":{"name":"Polish medical sciences and history bulletin","volume":"15 1","pages":"51-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12175924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is concluded that in treatment of chronic gastric ulcer the most appropriate method is partial gastrectomy including the whole pyloric part of the stomach. On the other hand, in chronic duodenal ulcer gastrectomy must be more extensive including over 70% of the gastric surface, it may be less extensive if associated with vagotomy.
