[Relationship between lymphatic metastasis in breast and cervix cancers and the level of CD44-H expression evaluated by an immunohistochemical method].

Immunohistochemistry has been used to evaluate the relationship between the rate of CD44-H antigen expression in breast invasive intracanalicuar and cervical epidermoïd carcinomas and the presence of node metastasis. A total of 36 cases of breast carcinoma and 20 cases of cervical carcinoma was examined. For the two types of carcinoma, the CD44-H molecule was highly expressed in cases with node metastasis; with 50% and 75% median value of CD44-H positive tumor cells respectively for the breast (p < 0.

[Chlamydia infection and female low fertility in Morocco].

Chlamydia trachomatis infection is recognised as the most common asymptomatic sexually transmitted disease, and this may lead to severe complication including infertility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the part that this pathology takes in the female hypofertility, using serologic, cell culture, and histopathologic tests. Some of the women had undergone biopsies during coelioscopic exam, the others during salpingectomy.

[Plasma cell granuloma of the lung. Report of two cases (author's transl)].

The authors report two cases of inflammatory pseudotumour of the lung, one discovered by chance in a 15 year old boy and the other following a hemoptysis in a 48 year old man. In both cases, the granuloma was mainly fibroblastic but also included lymphocytes and plasma cells, macrophages and mast cells. The histology, age of onset, the sex and the pulmonary localisations are different for plasma cell granulomas and fibrosing hemangiomas.

[Cylindrical epithelioma of nasal cavities and accessory sinuses. Anatomoclinical study of 26 cases].

Report of a series of 26 cases of cylindrical epithelioma of the nasal cavities and accessory nasal sinuses. These neoplasms constitute a remarkably homogenous group the main characteristics of which are following: -- uniform histological pattern, similar to that of the epitheliomas of the colon, -- ethmoidal location in almost all cases, -- preferential occurrence in wood-workers, for instance in the Bas-Rhin. The prognosis depends on the extension of the epithelioma verified in 16 patients during the intervention.

[Foetal Rhabdomyoma. Case report and ultrastructural study].

Benign voluntary muscle tumours are exceedingly rare. Only 9 fetal and 35 adult type rhabdomyomata have been reported in the literature, former usually in children, the latter in adults. Both types affect the musculature of the head and neck almost exclusively.

[Medullary microcirculation in human primary and secondary myeloscloroses].

There are histological and experimental evidence for bone marrow microcirculation to play a role in histogenesis of myelosclerosis. Human sternal bone marrow microcirculation was studied after death using ink injection in two cases of primary myelofibrosis, two cases of secondary meylofibrosis (Hodgkin's disease) an one case of osteomyelosclerosis. Control material consisted of 30 previously studied normal human sternums.

[Vascularization of the human adult sternum (author's transl)].

The study of the vascularization of the sternum allows to individualise the vascular pedicles, the anterior and posterior peripheral sternal networks and the intrasternal vascularization. 1. The numerous vascular pedicles of the sternum all come from the internal mammary arteries.
