The coagulation process, on the background of humoral syndrome, were followed up in 73 patients with hypertonic disease in clinical conditions. The hypertonic disease develops with hyperlipemia, dysproteinemia and hypercoagulonemia and depression of the fibrinolytic system. During the first stage of the disease a tendency towards elevated susceptibility to coagulation was found, but with intensified fibrinolytic activity. With the development of the alterations, due to the hypertonic disease, the hypercoagulation is increased and the fibrinolytic system is depressed.

The authors described the clinical, biologic and histologic particularities of two cases of congenital nephrotic syndrome, Finnish type. Clinically, the hydropic syndrome was represented by anasarca: biologically by marked proteinuria, hypoproteinemia with dysproteinemia and hyperlipemia with dyslipemia. Histologically both cases presented microcystic dilatation of the proximal tubuli contorti. The evolution was unfavorable and ended in death.

We evaluated the IL Monarch random-access centrifugal analyzer for measurement of Na+, K+, and Cl- by an indirect potentiometric method. For different concentrations of control material, the total precision (CV) ranged between 0.82% and 1.14% for the three electrolytes; linearity was acceptable within a range of 103 to 215 mmol/L for Na+, 1.6-15.25 mmol/L for K+, and 80-173 mmol/L for Cl-. Data correlated well with those by flame photometry for Na+ and K+ and with those by coulometry for Cl-, both for various biological materials--sera, urines, dialysis fluids--and commercial control materials from various producers. Stability of the potentiometric signal was acceptable: daily variations were 0.2 mV for Na+, 0.05 mV for K+, and 0.03 mV for Cl-. Accordingly, we conclude that the system supplies reproducible and accurate results while being easy to use and requiring little maintenance. The use of indirect potentiometry offers results consistent with those obtained with traditional methods, and easily interpretable by clinical staff. However, better information about the actual ion activity in the tested sample for certain pathologies such as hyperlipemia and dysproteinemia could be obtained by methods involving direct potentiometry.

Usually, ketoacidosis presents few if any diagnostic or therapeutic problems; in this article, we report a case where ketoacidosis was clinically occult and biochemically obscure. The patient presented with acute pancreatitis associated with a modest antecedent alcohol intake. Metabolic acidosis with a normal anion gap (10 meq/L) was observed together with moderate hyperglycemia and a 2 + (but not 4 +) test for serum ketones. None of the usual causes of metabolic acidosis with a normal anion gap was identified nor was there an obvious explanation for a reduction in unmeasured anion gap (e.g., hypoalbuminemia, dysproteinemia, or the presence of abnormal halides). Despite the initial normal anion gap, ketoacidosis was suspected clinically and this was confirmed by the elevated serum B-hydroxybutyrate of 8 mmol/L. We deduced that the serum unmeasured anions, which should have been increased by at least 8 meq/L, were being underestimated because of the effect of hypertriglyceridemia on the serum chloride determination. When the serum chloride was reestimated by a method not influenced by hyperlipidemia, the value was 102 mmol/L not 112 mmol/L and, when reevaluated, the anion gap was indeed appropriately elevated. In addition, the urine anion gap (Na + K - Cl) was 103 meq/L in the absence of renal disease. This indicated that the expected large quantity of urinary ammonium must have been masked by an even greater quantity of unmeasured anion; in this case proven by direct measurement to be B-hydroxybutyrate. Finally, metabolism of the alcohol ingested, which yields hepatic NADH, could explain, in part, the modest hyperglycemia and the absence of a 4 + test for serum ketones.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with paraproteinemia is characterized by multiple nodules or plaques that involve the periorbital area along with other parts of the body. A dysproteinemia due to an IgG paraprotein is associated with the condition; low serum complement, cryoglobulinemia, leukopenia, and hyperlipemia are also sometimes seen. Multiple myeloma is present in some cases. Two cases of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with IgG monoclonal gammopathy were seen. Both initially had ocular symptoms and in the second case, the ocular manifestations have dominated the clinical picture. Histologically, these granulomas are characterized by collagen necrobiosis and by the presence of many foamy histiocytes and Touton giant cells. Because necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with monoclonal gammopathy frequently has prominent manifestations in the orbital region, may result in dysfunction of the eyelids or extraocular muscles, and is associated with potentially life-threatening systemic conditions, its recognition by the ophthalmologist is important.

Eight patients had multiple xanthomatous plaques and subcutaneous nodules that had a predilection for the periorbital area, flexures, and trunk and that tended to ulcerate. Skin biopsy specimens showed a combination of xanthogranulomatous nodules with necrobiosis. All patients had an accompanying dysproteinemia, which was a monoclonal IgG paraprotein in six. Hyperlipidemia, low serum complement, and cryoglobulinemia were variable features. Five patients had leukopenia. Bone marrow examination showed myeloma in two patients, a lymphoproliferative process in one, and some atypical plasma cells in two. Cutaneous necrobiotic xanthogranuloma is a distinctive histologic pattern most frequently related to plasma cell dyscrasias, and it should be distinguished from normolipemic plane xanthoma and other necrobiotic granulomas.

Morphofunctional state of the liver (in particular, indexes of carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, structural elements and condition of vascular endothelium of the liver) in female rats subjected to immobilization stress during pregnancy, has been studied. Morphological changes in the liver include discomplexation of beam-radial structure, pyknosis of hepatocyte nucleus, increased regeneration activity of parenchyma, and increased stromal parenchymal index. Functional disorders are manifested by development of dysproteinemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and increased activity of organo-specific liver enzymes. It testifies to risk of fibrosis and diffuse nodular cirrhosis development in the animals, as well as diabetes mellitus of type II in the future.
