In my clinic, Solganal-B-Oleosum was administered to the patients with bronchial asthma from 1955 up to 1973, covering a period of 19 years, and statistical observation has been done. Several clinical results are presented. 1) In 1,056 cases, markedly improved 40.8%, improved 32.8%; clinically effective ratio: total 73.6%. Others: a few somewhat improved and unimproved cases, then inconsiderable aggravated cases. 2) The longer the period from the age of onset to the beginning of treatment, the lower the efficiency; the shorter the period, the higher the efficiency. 3) The group of light severity revealed high efficiency; and according to the grade of severity the efficiency decreased. 4) Sex, age, age of onset, disposition of asthma, etc., resulted in no clear relation to the effectiveness. 5) Side effect revealed 2.3% skin eruption, and then a few cases of proteinuria, stomatitis, gingivitis, etc. There was no case of severe, critical disorder. 6) In other cases, long-term effectiveness after finishing the Solganal treatment was pursued. A trial of additional injection for several years after finishing the treatment was also studied. Serum gold concentrations in the course and after finishing the main course etc., were measured.

Renal amyloidosis was diagnosed in 8 related Abyssinian cats. The kidneys were characterized pathologically by medullary interstitial and glomerular amyloid deposition, interstitial fibrosis, and papillary necrosis. Amyloid deposits were birefringent under polarized light after Congo red staining, were thioflavine-T positive, and lost Congo red staining after permanganate oxidation. Four of the cats were evaluated clinically. Two of these cats were terminally uremic, with nonregenerative anemia, azotemia, hyperphosphatemia, metabolic acidosis, mild hyperglycemia, isosthenuria, proteinuria, cylindruria, and mild hematuria. The remaining 2 cats were only moderately azotemic. Three of the cats had severe gingivitis and all 4 cats had hyperproteinemia due to hyperglobulinemia.

Lymphoplasmacytic stomatitis and gingivitis was diagnosed in an 8-year old female domestic shorthair. The cat had evidence of severe generalized inflammation of the oral cavity. Biopsy samples were evaluated and displayed a lichenoid, interface stomatitis which was predominantly lymphoplasmacytic. Serum protein electrophoresis confirmed a monoclonal gammopathy. Urine protein electrophoresis confirmed Bence-Jones proteinuria. Protein electrophoresis was used to diagnose monoclonal gammopathy (the production of a monoclonal immunoglobulin, or paraprotein, which is associated with a characteristic "M" protein spike on serum electrophoresis). Diseases associated with monoclonal gammopathy are similar in the dog and cat. Alkylating agent chemotherapy is used to rapidly reduce paraprotein concentrations in multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is the most common disorder associated with monoclonal gammopathy. This condition is less common in the cat, compared to the dog. This report examines the diagnosis and treatment of multiple myeloma in a cat presenting with severe stomatitis.

The aim of this study was to define a population of diabetics exhibiting an increased risk of developing severe periodontitis by comparing the medical status of 2 groups of diabetics, 1 with no/minor periodontal disease and 1 with severe periodontal disease. The case-control study consisted of 2 parts, a baseline study and a follow-up study. 39 case-control pairs were selected. They were adult, long-duration, insulin-dependent diabetics matched according to sex, age and diabetes duration. One individual in each pair (the CASE) exhibited severe periodontal disease while the other (the CONTROL) exhibited gingivitis or only minor alveolar bone loss. The median age of the cases was 58 years (range 36 to 70 years) and of the controls 59 years (range 37 to 69 years). The median disease duration in cases and controls was 24 years and 25 years, respectively. The median follow-up time was 6 years. The medical variables analysed were weight, insulin dose, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, vibratory threshold, triglycerides, total-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, creatinine, HbA1, proteinuria, ECG, retinopathy, stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), angina, myocardial infarct, heart failure, hypertension, intermittent claudication, foot ulcer, death, cause of death, and smoking habit. Biochemical analyses and clinical variables used as a routine in the monitoring of diabetics failed to differentiate between diabetics with severe and minor periodontal disease. In the follow-up study, significantly higher prevalences of proteinuria and cardiovascular complications such as stroke, TIA, angina, myocardial infarct and intermittent claudication were found in the case group. An association between renal disease, cardiovascular complications and severe periodontitis seems to exist. This indicates that a closer cooperation between the diabetologist and the dentist is necessary in monitoring the diabetic patient.
