The interest of diet is particularly clear in mixed hyperlipemia. In fact, the authors were only able to define the type of lipid abnormality after a test diet and prolonged supervision. One should never treat mixed hyperlipemia straightaway with hypocholesterolemic agents. The authors studied 22 patients with a form only demonstrable in the laboratory. There were no clinical signs of arteriosclerosis. In the group of dyslipemic subjects with minor hyperlipemia, they obtained normal figures for serum cholesterol and triglyceride. The results remained stable after 4 months supervision.

It is fairly frequent to encounter hyperlipemia on a rheumatic unit. Firstly the symptoms of certain idiopathic hyperlipemias sometimes include rheumatic changes. The latter include firstly, arthritis and tendinitis, above all observed in Type II hyperlipoproteinemia but also mentionned in Type IV, and secondly, exceptional bony lesions (generally of xanthoma type) which seem to occur exclusively in severe hyperglyceridemia. A few bone and joint diseases, such as gout or aseptic necrosis, frequently coexist with dyslipemia. Furthermore, various diseases may be simultaneously responsible for secondary hyperlipemia and involvement of the locomotor apparatus. Finally, the iatrogenic manifestations of the locomotor system appear mainly due to hypolipemic drugs, e.g. the muscle disorders seen in a few patients treated with clofibrate.

The authors report 4 cases of hyperlipemia and show the great benefit which results from ileal exclusion when there is an atherogenic risk. The considerable reduction in total lipid, cholesterol, triglycerides, and prebeta-lipoproteins is constant together with clarification of the serum. In one case, angina pectoris regressed considerably, as did arteritis of the lower limbs (unlimited walking became possible, oscillometry in the leg improved from 2 to 7). Surgery is indicated whenever by lack of will power, the diet and medical treatment cannot be followed, when social and economic conditions make proper medical treatment impossible, or when the latter has failed. The existence of arterial lesions, cardiac or cerebral complications makes surgery even more urgent. Gall-stones were observed in gall bladder. The authors raise the problem of oxalate stones. Only type II familial hyperlipemia in homozygotes should be excluded: and end-to-side portacaval anastomosis seems to be preferable.

The induced hyperlipemia test, which is easly to administer, yields very interesting information for the study of lipidic metabolism in arteriosclerosis patients. Its use, in both the pre- and post-operative phases, has brought out the valuable effect of ligature of the intestinal lymphatics in treating arteritis. It may also enable us to determine whether there is a hereditary factor or family predisposition to arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, the test makes it possible to confirm diagnosis of obstruction of the lymphatics of the gut in exsudative enteropathy and in various dysfunctious of the chyliferous vessels (sclerosis, rupture, tumoral invasion) without to resort to the use of radioactive substances.

During the last five years, we observed under the microscope all the hyperlipidemic sera received in our laboratory, to search a lipid particle agglutination. We have retained 24 sera with obvious agglutination (9 types V, 9 types IV and 6 types IIb), the lipidemia of which was compared, type to type, to 56 control sera (16 types V, 16 types IV and 24 types IIb), in which no agglutination has been found. We observed significant differences in the means of cholesterol (CT) triglycerides (TG), vitamin A (VA) and CT/TG, VA/TG and VA/CT ratios, comparing agglutinated and control sera. These differences suggest that the agglutination phenomenon is in relation with the nature of the lipid particles present in the hyperlipidemic sera, which could be "chylomicron remnants" in type V hyperlipidemias, and other forms of "remnants" in type IV and IIb hyperlipidemias. These "remnants" could result from a blockade of lipolysis. This blockade of lipolysis in the agglutinated sera might be related to what is known about the authentificated autoimmune hyperlipidemia (AIH). Thus we can suppose that hyperlipidemias with obvious serum lipid particle agglutination are autoimmune hyperlipidemias.

Multiple metabolic factors of atherosclerosis frequently associated in the same patient proves the interest of a multifactorial treatment of atherosclerosis. In the paper the authors studied the results of the treatment with benfluorex of 1 000 patients suffering one or more metabolic risk factors. After a 3 month treatment, a highly significant and simultaneous reduction of hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia is observed. The treatment is the more efficient that initial values are higher and that the diet is better observed. The results remain significant even in patients who have not lost weight.

70 patients with colic diverticular disease and 50 control subjects were compared. Sexes and ages were matched in the two groups. Significant higher frequencies of alcoholism (P < 0,00001), hyperlipidemia (P < 0,0001), impaired oral glucose tolerance test (P < 0,001), hyperuricemia (P < 0,01) and atherosclerosis (P < 0,000001) were noted in the diverticular group. Hypothesis about pathogenesis of diverticular disease are suggested.

In our hyperlipidemia test, the total lipids curve, a plateau without a postprandial peak, allows an easy diagnosis of the chyliferous blockage. The malformation of chyliferous vessels produces the congenital forms: exsudative enteropathy, chyloperitoneum, spontaneous chylothorax, chylous cyst of the mediastinum, reflux of chyle in the pulmonary lymphatics, lymphoedema with chyle reflux in the lymphatics of the leg and chyluria. The acquired forms comprise the post-infectious sclerosis of the intestinal lymphatics and the neoplastic invasions of the mesenteric lymph nodes. The optical density curve brings some informations for a better understanding of lipid's absorption.

A 32-year-old man was admitted semi-comatose with digestive troubles to the hospital. A diabetic keto-acidosis was discovered. The diabetes was known by the patient for one year and a half, but it was not treated. Furthermore the laboratory studies showed a hyperlipidemia (type V) and an increase in pancreatic enzymes. The hyperlipidemia disappeared with insulin therapy. The chronology of the facts was probably: a hyperlipidemia associated with the diabetes, responsible of an acute pancreatitis, which induced a keto-acidosis.

A thirty-year-old woman, who had onset of nephrotic syndrome during the last part of her pregnancy, experienced recurrent acute ischemia of both lower limbs, leading to three conservative surgical procedures one month after delivery. Investigations disclosed no cause of embolism and were suggestive of thrombosis. The arteriography showed a diffuse reduction in diameter of the aorta and iliac vessels without localised stenosis or other vascular lesions. This complication is presumably related to several factors associated with the reduction in arterial diameter: hypovolemia, hyperfibrinemia, hyperlipidemia and abnormalities of hemostasis.
