    Notes: Summary Sixteen patients who had died with leukemia were studied at autopsy between September 1975 and February 1977. Special attention was given to degenerative changes in the heart. Five of the patients died of cardiac failure, all with no or only slight leukemic infiltration in various organs at autopsy. Five patients showed basophilic necroses in the myocardium, and two of these also showed necroses in the bone marrow. The myocardial lipofuscin was significantly (P〈0.01) higher in the autopsies of leukemic patients (mean age 45 years) than in autopsies performed at the Department of Forensic Medicine in 18 cases of accidental death (mean age 36 years). No dose-response relationship could be found between the amount of myocardial lipofuscin and the total dose of rubidomycin. Eight of twelve patients with malignant lymphoma (mean age 45 years) also had increased amount of myocardial lipofuscin.

    Adjuvant immunotherapy in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (1978)

    Notes: Summary Of 112 patients (maximum age 70 years) with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, 62 (55%) went into remission on an induction therapy of cytosine arabinoside and daunorubicin. 20 patients were randomized for maintenance treatment consisting of chemotherapy only and 22 patients for combined chemo-immunotherapy. The chemotherapy consisted in 5-day courses of daunorubicin and cytosine arabinoside and of thioguanine and cytosine arabinoside, alternating every month. The chemo-immunotherapy group also received weekly intracutaneous injections of 109 allogeneic nonirradiated leukemic myeloblasts and 106 BCG organisms (Glaxo) by Heaf gun. The median duration of the first remission was 164 days for the chemotherapy group and 464 days for the chemo-immunotherapy group. The corresponding median times of survival were 344 days for the first group and 734 days for the second group. The difference concerning median duration of survival is statistically significant. Thus immunotherapy seems to prolong survival.
