Schollz (D. m. W. No. 31, 29), on the basis of his many years of experience in the treatment of gonorrhea, indicates that Protargol and Albargin remain the best drugs to this day, because they act not only in a killing manner on gonococci, but also exert their influence on mucous membrane in the sense of its impregnation. In cases where gonococci sit deep in tissues (prostata, epididymis, ovaries), the author recommends using protein therapy. In stubborn cases, it is recommended to "Fieberbehandlung" with hot baths or inoculation with malaria. To establish the fact that gonorrhea has been cured, the author uses microscopic examination after a series of provocations, and also examines the patient with the help of cultures. An excellent means for establishing the cure of gonorrhea is the B.-G. reaction, and a negative reaction that occurred after the previous positive one is more likely to speak for a cure, while a persistent positive reaction indicates the need for a series of repeated microscopic and bacteriological studies.

Already with a microscopic examination of the cut out bristles of the fallopian tubes, we notice that sometimes the mucous membrane is more changed, another muscle or only the peritoneal cover, sometimes all three layers of it are equally changed; The contents of these brushes are also very diverse, which is transparent like water and poor lumps, serous with an abundant amount of lumps, stained with blood, pure bloody, in various degrees of suppuration or decomposition, liquid or thick, curdled lime or sedimentary. Because of these data, it is impossible to describe all these conditions under one common name "cysts of fallopian tubes" and it has long been customary by the nature of the contents to divide these cysts into hydro, -hmato- and pyosalpinx; but even such a definition is not enough, since it does not indicate either the ethology or the pathological anatomy of these changes, therefore, when describing these brushes, attention should be paid to both the reasons for the formation of various accumulations of fluid, as well as the mechanism of formation of these brushes, stnkakh pipes and their pathological and anatomical consequences.

The author notes the identity of the picture of warts on the oral mucosa with syphilitic papules so often observed here. The ease of confusion of these two diseases makes it necessary to pay special attention to the differential diagnosis, supporting it with microscopic examination.

Having subjected the mucosa of the isthmus (formerly the lower segment of the uterus) to careful macro- and microscopic examination in several cases in which the uterus was extirpated before menses, on the first day of the regulae and one day after their beginning, Nrnberger was convinced that this mucosa does not take part in menstruation.


The author states that, in 1839, his attention was first directed to the organ of taste on discovering the peculiar advantages for microscopic examination which are offered by the tongue of the living frog. When prepared in the manner he describes, it is much more transparent than the web of the foot; and its papillae, mucous membrane, blood-vessels, nerves, muscular fibres, &c. may all be examined during life. He subsequently found that, contiary to the opinion of anatomists it contains two species of papillae distinct in their structure, corresponding to the conical and fungiform papillæ of man.

Although numerous most admirable descriptions of the stomach of various species of Delphinidae (the family of toothed Whales to which the Narwhal belongs) have from time to time appeared from the pens of most able observers (of whom a list will be found in the references appended), we have found it impossible to find anything more than a mere indication of the histological structure of the various portions of the walls of the peculiar digestive apparatus of these animals. As one of us had an opportunity of obtaining material in a comparatively fresh condition, we decided to make arrangements for preserving it properly, so that it might be subjected to microscopic examination on being brought to this country, With all the care that was taken some portions of the mucous membrane have suffered slightly, but in all cases the changes are so slight that we are enabled to speak positively on the points to which reference is made.

Introduction. In the second half of the last century skin tuberculosis has become a rarity. With the appearance of resistance to different kinds of pathogenes, HIV-immunodeficiency and decreasing standard of living, the incidence of skin tuberculosis increses. Lupus vulgaris is a chronic form of the secondary tuberculosis of the skin. Case report. This is a case report of a 66-year-old woman who presented with a growing, painless, brownish-red, slab-shaped, jelly, cutanesous mass, 2.5 centimeters in diameter, on the tip of her nose, reaching the mucous membrane of the nose. Results. Apart from accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (43/73) and a positive tuberculosis test (Mantoux 10 TU=25x25 mm), all relevant findings were within reference values. Using Ziehl-Neelsen staining, no acido-resistent bacilli were found. The skin scraping sample, taken from the affected skin and the mucous membrane, was cultivated in Lowenstein medium base, and this resulted with cultivation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Using three-drug combination therapy for ten months, complete remission was achieved. Conclusion. Successful cultivation of pathogens represents an absolute diagnostic criterion. We present a case of a woman with lupus vulgaris, because there is a small number of cases documented around the world where the diagnosis was confirmed by culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. .

Atrophic rhinitis in swine is a disease of uncertain etiology in which infectious agents, hereditary predisposition, and metabolic disturbances have been reported to be of primary etiologic importance. It shares many similarities, both clinically and pathologically, with ozena in man. The disease is characterized by deformity and reduction in volume of the nasal turbinates. The fundamental cause for the localized lesion of bone in the nasal turbinates has not been established. Reduced osteogenesis, increased resorption related to inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane, and excessive resorption due to osteocytic osteolysis stimulated by hyperparathyroidism have been suggested as possible pathogenetic mechanisms.The objectives of this investigation were to evaluate ultrastructurally bone cells in the nasal turbinates of pigs with experimentally induced atrophic rhinitis, and to compare these findings to those in control pigs of the same age and pigs with the naturally occurring disease, in order to define the fundamental lesion responsible for the progressive reduction in volume of the osseous core.

During the prodromal stages of sporulation in the Basidiomycete, Agaricus bisporus, mitochondria accumulate in the basidial cells, zygotes, in the gill tissues prior to entry of these mitochondria, together with two haploid nuclei and cytoplasmic ribosomes, into the exospores. The mitochondria contain prominent loci of DNA [Fig. 1]. A modified Kleinschmidt spread technique1 has been used to evaluate the DNA strands from purified whole mitochondria released by osmotic shock, mitochondrial DNA purified on CsCl gradients [density = 1.698 gms/cc], and DNA purified on ethidium bromide CsCl gradients. The DNA appeared as linear strands up to 25 u in length and circular forms 2.2-5.2 u in circumference. In specimens prepared by osmotic shock, many strands of DNA are apparently attached to membrane fragments [Fig. 2]. When mitochondria were ruptured in hypotonic sucrose and then fixed in glutaraldehyde, the ribosomes were released for electron microscopic examination.
