Protein reabsorption by cells of the proximal kidney tubules in chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis depending on the degree of proteinuria

In a study of 80 cases of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), minocycline hydrochloride (Minocin) was found to be an effective drug in the treatment of all stages of LGV, including complicated ones. In late cases adjuvant treatment was used in addition to the antibiotic. Healing time in uncomplicated cases was less than 10 days. In complicated cases, both early and late, healing took about 2 to 3 weeks. Reactions to the drug were not significant.     

Sonographic and histomorphologic parallels in various histologic variants of chronic myeloid leukemia

Histomorphometric findings at the study of marrow puncture specimens were compared to sonographic picture of the liver and spleen in 20 myeloid leukemia chronic. Histomorphometric and sonographic changes observed showed parallel pathological processes in the hemopoietic micro-surroundings and in the liver, spleen. Sonography proved able to considerably broaden diagnostic armory of the physician, to prognosticate leukemia outcomes, thus suggesting a differential approach to the disease treatment.     

Assessment of the conformational stability of various classes of human lens crystallins using a monomolecular layer method

Surface denaturation kinetics of different classes of crystallins have been studied by monolayer technique at air-NaCl solution interfaces. An increase of the conformation stability puts in the following order: pre-alpha < alpha approximately equal to beta H approximately equal to beta L approximately equal to gamma.     

The microbiological diagnosis of tuberculosis in areas under strict radiation control

Mycobacterial variability was studied in active tuberculosis patients from radioactive contamination area subject to close radiation control. For such areas it was noted that the patients discharge altered coccoid mycobacteria stained with routine luminescent dyes. Biological investigations of freshly isolated strains revealed potentiation of M. tuberculosis virulence in patients with respiratory tuberculosis. A large number of patients from the contaminated areas against control demonstrated primary resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid.
