A juvenile-type diabetic patient of five years standing presented with a mononeuritis and gave a history of painful muscle swelling induced by exertion. Failure of the blood lactate to rise during ischaemic exercise and a normal blood glucose rise following intravenous glucagon confirmed the clinical diagnosis of muscle glycogenosis. The association of diabetes and McArdle's Syndrome has not previously been documented. An ulnar nerve palsy, which persisted for many months, followed the ischaemic exercise test possibly due to compression by muscular swelling, but may have been exacerbated by the co-existing diabetes.

Morgagni's Syndrome is a polyglandular endocrine syndrome, occurring almost exclusively in the female sex. It is characterized of the classical triad: internal frontal hyperostosis, obesity, virillism, and often accompanied by an old-age type of diabetes. In itself the hyperostosis is of little significance, but sometimes it is a valuable sign of a disorder of the carbohydrate metabolism. In many cases the syndrome is almost symptomless, in other cases senile neuro-psychiatric symptoms and ailments of old age dominate the clinical picture. The internal frontal hyperostosis has no closer relation to other more or less diffuse thickenings of the skull.

This is a survey about all factors influencing the osmotic pressure. The actual osmotic pressure in the plasma of healthy individuals is regulated essentially by the natrium ions and the corresponding anions. The one exception is the dysfunctioning diabetes mellitus with distinctly advanced hyperglycaemia. Syndromes with an accompanying azotemia demonstrate a seeming hyperosmolality as long as the osmotic pressure is measured or calculated by the customary method. The real and present osmotic condition can only be calculated when the blood urea concentration is no longer considered. It is proposed that the term "corrected osmolality" be used for the values determined in this manner.

This paper sums up the clinical epidemiological investigation data on risk factors (RF) of coronary heart disease (CHD) among 743 office workers, with an average age of 61.0 +/- 8.0. The investigation involved factors relating to history, physical examination, biochemistry, blood rheology and TCM Syndrome Differentiation. According to the results of the computerized single-factor correlation analysis, the incidence of CHD in RF exposed group was obviously higher than that of unexposed one, 65 RF such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipemia, smoking, body weight, HDL-C/TC, blood viscosity etc. were recorded. Using multivariate regressive analysis it revealed that hypertension, diabetes, total cholesterol, heavy cigarette smoking, overweight, diastolic pressure, cortisol, TCM senile index, Blood Stasis Syndrome, Qi Stagnation Syndrome, Qi Deficiency Syndrome and Heart Deficiency Syndrome were the main RF. The result concerning RF of Western medicine (WM) was in conformity with that at home and abroad. In addition, some TCM-RF were selected which couldn't be replaced by WM-RF. These indicate that there are TCM-RF and WM-RF in the development of CHD and it is better to adopt the method for preventing and treating CHD with combined TCM-WM. As to TCM-RF of CHD, the authors consider that there are both the factors of Deficiency and Excess, so preventing and treating CHD should aim at reinforcing the Deficiency and reducing the Excess.

We present a case report with IgA deficiency, pernicious anemia, chronic active hepatitis, insulino-dependent diabetes mellitus and hypogonadism. A diagnosis of Polyglandular Auto-immune Syndrome was done and we discuss the difficulty in including this particular case in any of the types of the Neufeld's classification of Polyglandular Auto-immune Disease.

Syndromes of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) have been described in the mouse, in the rat and in man. In all three species, the presence of one or more specific alleles of the major histocompatibility complex is a prerequisite for the appearance of the disease. In the BB rat, diabetes is associated with the RT1u haplotype. We have performed a series of intercrosses of diabetic BB rats with normal Lewis and Buffalo rats and examined the offspring of all litters producing at least one diabetic animal. Forty-five of the 250 rats that developed diabetes were heterozygous for the RT1u haplotype by serotyping. Furthermore, the diabetic rats heterozygous by serotyping at the RT1A class I loci were also heterozygous at the RT1B and RT1D loci of the class II region and did not show evidence of a recombinant haplotype when examined by Southern blot analyses using molecular probes for class I and class II genes. Diabetic rats heterozygous or homozygous for RT1u were phenotypically indistinguishable with respect to age of onset and severity of disease. Therefore, in the rat, as in the human, a single dose of the high-risk allele at the major histocompatibility complex is sufficient for the development of IDDM if other susceptibility factors and the appropriate environmental factors are in place.

Seventy-nine children with the Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome were referred to our unit between 1972 and 1988. The typical summer peak incidence was seen. A diarrhoeal prodrome occurred in 71 (90%). Fifty-nine (75%) required dialysis and 74 (94%) blood transfusion. Extra-renal disease was documented: neurological 32 (40%); abdominal 11 (14%); diabetes mellitus one case. Fifty-one (61%) had acute hypertension. The acute mortality rate was 9%. Children with neurological features had greater biochemical disturbances and longer duration of dialysis. Fifty-nine children were followed for a mean 47.4 months. Forty-four (75%) are healthy. Nine (15%) have renal impairment, two have proteinuria, one hypertension and one has a residual hemiparesis. There were two late deaths. Presence of acute neurological features increased risk of early death or survival with sequelae. Prolonged dialysis was significantly associated with poorer outcome. However, there were no reliable early indicators of poor prognosis.

Prader-Labhart-Willi Syndrome is a complex, multisystem sporadic disorder which presents during childhood and proceeds into adulthood. The major features include infantile hypotonia, developmental delay, hypogonadism with abnormal sexual maturation, mental retardation and behavior abnormalities, short stature with small hands and feet, massive obesity with diabetes mellitus, dysmorphic facial features, and marked dental caries and enamel hypoplasia. Recently, a deletion of chromosome 15 has been found in a large percentage of these patients, but the exact cause and genetic transmission has not yet been determined. Two cases of Prader-Labhart-Willi Syndrome are presented with emphasis on the differential diagnosis of enamel hypoplasia associated with sexual maturation.

Complications in 8793 hospitalised cases of diabetes in 14 years were present in 81.8 percent. It was equal in both sexes. They did not depend upon religious dietary habits or on economic condition/status of the patient. Hypertension was present in 42.2%. Ischaemic heart diseases in 27.2%. C.V.A. in 9.2% and gangrene and peripheral vascular diseases in 4.2%. Acute & chronic U.T.I. was in 31.4% and uraemia in 4.5% and K.W. Syndrome in 2.5%. In Infection Tuberculosis was in 5.9% and pyogenic skin infection in 4.1%. Vascular and renal complications increased with the duration of diabetes and with age in type II diabetes.

The mononuclear-phagocyte system includes promonocytes and their precursors in the bone marrow, monocytes in circulation and macrophages in tissues. After maturation in the bone marrow newly formed monocytes enter the circulation and migrate into different tissues; the half-life of monocytes in the blood stream is approximately three days. Once in the tissue monocytes undergo transformation into tissue macrophages with functional properties that are characteristic for the environment in which they reside. Macrophages play a central role in the immune regulation by presenting antigen to T-lymphocytes; they participate in ingestion and killing of various invading microorganisms. In addition, macrophages synthesize a great number of substances involved in host defense and inflammation i.e. complement components, prostaglandins, IL-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and others. During infection, macrophages have the capacity to become "activated" by lymphokines and different bacterial products; "activated" macrophages have an increased tumoricidal and microbicidal activity against various microorganisms, synthesis and secretion of immune mediators is enhanced. Monocyte-macrophage dysfunctions have been described in various disorders: defective chemotaxis (corticosteroids, drug induced immunosuppression, AIDS, diabetes), defective phagocytosis (lupus erythematosus, deficiency of a membrane glycoprotein), microbicidal defect (chronic granulomatous disease), decreased cytotoxicity (Wiskott-Aldrich-Syndrome), deficiencies in the clearance of physiologic substrates in lysosomal diseases.
