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.

An atrophy of villi without digestive troubles is found in a 3 1/2 years old boy with a typical Duhring's disease. This observation proves the interest to research an enteropathy in case of dermatitis herpetiformis, and on the other hand the gluten free diet's efficacity on the cutaneous lesions. The authors consider cutaneous lesions's pathogeny and the antigenic relations between these two diseases.

A 3 1/2 year old boy presented with a history of vomiting and generalized oedema. Biochemically proven protein losing enteropathy was associated with huge gastric fundal rugae on barium examination. Gastroscopy confirmed the barium findings but biopsy material demonstrated normal mucosa. The condition regressed on a high protein diet. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) was found in the urine after the illness had subsided.

The authors report the observation of a primary intestinal lymphangiectasy diagnosed on a young girl sent for isolated edema of her inferior members, recently appeared. Clinical examination was normal. Biology found a low protein rate at 33 g/l and a low lymph rate : 183 L/mm3. Hepatic and renal records were normal. Test to marked albumin asserted the exsudative enteropathy with a fecal radio-activity of 3.6% (N 1%). Biopsy of the small intestines set out lymphangiectasies of the intestinal mucosa. Referring to this observation and to literature date, the authors realise a clinical and physiopathological analysis of Waldmann's disease or primary intestinal lymphangiectasy.

Dermatological manifestations of chronic infammatory bowel disease are numerous. We report herein 2 cases that demonstrated the uncommon association of cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa with regional enterocolitis. The clinical and histopathological features of this skin disease are important. Particular emphasis is placed on its relative benignity, in contrast to the serious prognosis associated with systemic polyarteritis nodosa.

One-hundred-and-twenty-two patients with Crohn's disease were admitted to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital from 1966 to 1977. Thirty-seven had disease confined to small bowel, 37 to colon and 48 had combined small and large bowel involvement. The disease was twice as common in females as in males. Pain was the major symptom in patients with small bowel disease and was associated with diarrhoea if both small and large bowel were involved. Disease confined to the colon most commonly produced diarrhoea with bleeding. Perianal disease occurred more often in patients with colonic disease. Systemic complications were also more frequent in the group with disease confined to colon, and these complications were often multiple. Medical treatment with corticosteroids, salazopyrine or azathioprine, was generally unsuccessful. One in two patients required surgery, usually in the form of resection. Following resection, recurrence occurrred in more than one half of the patients but was less frequent in those with colonic disease. Three-quarters of patients with a recurrence required a further resection, emphasising the unsatisfactory long-term results of surgery in this disease.

An outbreak of proliferative haemorrhagic enteropathy (PHE) occurred in two epidodes and affected 372 adult pigs in the breeding units of a minimal disease piggery; 186 pigs died. In the initial episode breeding sows and boars of all ages were affected, suggesting infection of a fully susceptible population. Animals involved in the first episode of the disease did not show clinical symptoms at a later date and further clinical cases occurred only in animals introduced into the breeding population. Antibiotic feed medication was an effective method of prophylaxis. Bacteria resembling Campylobacter sputorum subspecies mucosalis were isolated from the intestinal mucosa of affected animals.

Fiberoptic gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed on 52 patients between the ages of 2 months and 16 years. The procedures were safely and easily done with premedications consisting of meperidine, promethazine, and chlorpromazine, and atropine, with diazepam given at the time of the procedure. Fiberoptic endoscopy was particularly helpful in localizing the site of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, in retrieving foreign objects, and in removing colonic polyps. In contrast, endoscopy added little to the clinical history and roentgenographic studies in children with recurrent abdominal pain or vomiting, in whom we believe fiberoptic endoscopy is not indicated unless the symptoms or history appear inconsistent with the diagnosis of functional bowel disease.

Families of patients with gluten-sensitive enteropathy (GSE) were typed for HLA-A and -B antigens as well as for HLA-DW3 antigen(s) using appropriate typing alloantisera. In addition, patients and families were typed for GSE-associated B cell antigens using alloantisera obtained from mothers and wives of patients. The data obtained suggest that disease occurs within families when two conditions were fulfilled: (1) the family member is homozygous for the GSE-associated B cell antigens and (2) the family member also bears the HLA-DW3 antigen(s) or an antigen usually associated with DW3. In addition, with the family studies it was possible to show that the gene(s) controlling the DW3 antigen(s) and those controlling the GSE-associated B cell antigens are separate nonlinked genetic loci, a fact which leads to the conclusion that GSE has a genetic basis in at least two genes. It is speculated that the genes responsible for GSE code for surface proteins which are physically associated on lymphoid cell membranes and which form receptors important to the initiation of disease.

The investigation of the haemostasis of a 11 6/12 years old boy with protein-losing enteropathy revealed signs of hypercoagulability of the coagulation system, due to a decreased plasma concentration of antithrombin III and alpha1-antitrypsin, that were lost with other proteins in great amounts into the intestinal tract. The loss of these two important inhibitors of the coagulation system can lead to thrombotic complications in patients with protein losing enteropathy.
