    Notes: The presence of calcitonin and of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was studied in six cases of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid using an immunoperoxidase technique. In five cases the material was obtained surgically and in one at autopsy. Tissue from primary tumours as well as from metastases was studied. Calcitonin and CEA were identified within all the tumours studied, although their pattern of distribution and staining intensity varied both within the cells and within the tumour. Some parts of the tumour contained both CEA and calcitonin, while others stained positively only for one of these substances. In some parts of the tumour there was no positive staining for either substance. Within the cells, CEA showed a typical linear distribution along cell surfaces, while calcitonin showed a more even cytoplasmic distribution and the deposits were more granular. Normal tissue surrounding tumour deposits did not show positive staining. It is considered that cells of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid contain both calcitonin and CEA. Identification of CEA and calcitonin in tumour tissue can be used as a diagnostic aid to identify medullary carcinoma of the thyroid. It is considered that these substances are being produced by this tumour and can be used as tumour markers.

    Notes: Summary In tissue of rats with disseminated intravascular coagulation, fibrin microthrombi can be sensitively detected by immunohistochemical methods, using antisera against rat fibrinogen or fibrin monomer. An indirect immunoperoxidase procedure on paraplast-embedded sections yields best results with regard to the morphology of the thrombi and their localization in the tissue. Only fibrillar immunoreactive material, oriented lengthwise in the vessels, should be regarded as microthrombi formed in vivo.

    Notes: Summary The influence of different fixation methods on the results of immunoperoxydase staining of immunoglobulin and gastrin producing cells in gastric and duodenal mucosa was investigated. An indirect method was used on paraffin sections. It appeared that that fixatives containing sublimate gave the most consistent results, a sublimate-formaldehyde mixture being the best.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 17 Patienten mit DH wurden vielfältige Duodenum- und Jejunum-Biopsien verrichtet. Die Dünndarm-Biopsien aller dieser Patienten zeigten histopathologische Änderungen, die cöliakie-ähnlich waren. Vierzehn dieser Patienten hielten eine glutenfreie Diät (GFD) während mehr als 8 Monaten. Bei allen untersuchten Patienten, die Diät hielten, verbesserten sich die Dünndarmerscheinungen. Die Dosierung von Dapsone, nötig für die Kontrolle der Hauterscheinungen, konnte reduziert werden um mehr als 50% bei 4 Patienten, und 5 andere Patienten, die die glutenfreie Diät auch hielten, brauchten diese Dapsone nicht mehr. Die Immunoglobulin enthaltenden Zellen in der Lamina propria wurden gezählt bei 8 Patienten, die nicht eine GFD hielten, bei 6 Patienten mit dieser GFD und bei 8 gesunden Kontroll-Personen. Die Zahl der IgA, IgM und IgG enthaltenden Zellen hat bei den meisten der DH-Patienten, die keine GFD hielten, zugenommen. Die Zahl der IgM enthaltenden Zellen bei den DH-Patienten, die eine GFD hielten, war dieselbe wie die Zahl dieser IgM enthaltenden Zellen bei den gesunden Kontroll-Personen. Aus dieser Untersuchung könnte man schließen, daß Gluten hauptsächlich eine IgM-Stimulierung in der Lamina propria hervorruft.
    Notes: Summary In 17 patients with DH, multiple duodenal and jejunal biopsies were performed. In all patients the small-intestinal biopsy-specimens showed histopathological changes compatible with coeliac disease. Fourteen of the patients maintained a gluten-free diet (GFD) for more than 8 months. The small-intestinal lesions improved in all patients investigated during the GFD. The dosage of Dapsone needed to control the skin lesions could be reduced by more than 50% in 4 patients and the Dapsone could be stopped in 5 other patients on GFD. The immunoglobulin-bearing cells in the lamina propria were counted in 8 patients not on a gluten-free diet, in 6 patients on gluten-free diet, and in 8 healthy controls. The numbers of IgA-, IgM- and IgG-bearing cells were increased in most of the DH patients who were not on a gluten-free diet. The number of IgM-bearing cells in the DH patients who were on a gluten-free diet was the same as that in the control group. This may indicate a mainly IgM response in the lamina propria induced by gluten.
