Inhibition of cellular immune reactions by zymosan

Mice treated intraperitoneally with zymosan showed a strong inhibition of the DTHR (delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction) against sheep erythrocytes (SE), ovalbumin (OA), and alloantigen. Furthermore, the rejection time of skin transplants was nearly doubled while antibody formation against SE was significantly enhanced. When a DTHR against OA and an antibody formation against SE were induced at the same time in the same animals, than the suppressive and stimulating effects cancelled each other. These results are discussed with regard to the sensitivity of lymphocyte subpopulations, which may be different if exposed to phagocytosis-induced oxygen radicals.     

In situ saphenous vein bypass grafts: angiographic evaluation and interventional repair of complications

In situ saphenous vein grafts are being used with increasing frequency for bypass procedures involving the femoral and popliteal arteries. Complications of these procedures include anastomotic stenoses and persistent arteriovenous fistulae that may result in failure of the graft. Balloon angioplasty and embolotherapy with detachable balloons were employed successfully in three or four recent cases of patients with complications from in situ grafts. Tailored angiography is essential for evaluating in situ grafts, and interventional techniques are extremely useful for managing complications.     

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy in cervical spinal cord injury patients

Sixty consecutive patients admitted to the spinal cord injury unit at a Downey, California medical center were evaluated for hand and upper extremity pain. Patients averaged nine months postinjury and had an average age of 37 years. Seven patients (11.7%) complained of diffuse hand pain, swelling, and stiffness. All patients with complaints were evaluated with three-phase radionuclide scintigraphy. Six of those seven patients had scintigrams consistent with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), an overall incidence of 10%. Three of these six patients were treated with stellate ganglion blocks, which gave relief of symptoms and allowed return to their rehabilitation program. An awareness of RSD as a cause of pain in spinal cord injured patients should lead to earlier recognition and treatment.     

Atypical presentation of co-existent Haemophilus ducreyi and Treponema pallidum infection in an HIV-positive male.

A 25-year-old homosexual black male presented with asymmetrical perianal ulceration of uncertain clinical origin. Indepth microbiological examination revealed the combined presence of Haemophilus ducreyi and Treponema pallidum. The atypical clinical appearance may have been due to the changed immunological status of the host's being infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
