Estudamos 25 casos escolhidos de Ancylostomose, procurando determinar quaes os factores que provocam a regeneração hematica, procurando o mechanismo desta regeneração e o desenvolver do processo anemiante. Preferimos seleccionar um numero pequeno de casos e acompanhal-o durante um largo tempo, observando alguns delles durante 1 a 1 anno e meio. A parte hematologica constou, além de 568 exames rotineiros (numeração das hematias, dosagem de Hb., determinação do hematocrito, e na maioria das vezes, determinação da taxa de reticulocytose verificação do aspecto morphologico do sangue em esfregaços), de pesquisas sobre a resistencia globular, sobre a taxa de proteinas no sôro, e em alguns casos, contagem de plaquetas, determinação da viscosidade, etc. Empregamos para estas pesquizas os methodos usuaes, a não ser na determinação da resistencia globular, para a qual descrevemos detalhadamente um processo pouco usado. Durante todo o transcorrer das observações, a actividade biologica dos helminthos parasitos foi controlada por numerosos exames de fezes, que constavam da pesquiza de ovos eliminados, de reacções chimicas que demonstrassem a presença de sangue. Exames de urina foram feitos periodicamente e outros exames foram praticados quando sobrevinha uma complicação ou qualquer facto inesperado. Observamos nos casos graves da doença, uma anemia de caracteristicas fixas. E' uma anemia hypochromica, microcytica, fracamente regenerativa. Verificamos que a degeneração dos indices hematicos, isto é, que o grau de hypochromia e micocytose, não se apresentam nestes casos extremos de modo variavel, mas sim, de maneira particularmente constante; e verificamos mais que estes indices assim degenerados (Ind. Vol. 53 uc., Ind. Hb. 13 yy, Ind. Sat. 23%) tambem são encontrados segundo observações de outros autores, em varias anemias hypochromicas humanas ou de outros mammiferos. No exame de esfregaços, são extremamente raros ou mesmo ausentes, os normoblastos, as hematias com restos nucleares e as hematias polychromaticas. A reticulose oscilla em torno de 3%. Este aspecto é constante nos casos graves, sendo entretanto variavel na unidade de volume o numero destas hematias acima caracterisadas. A média dessa ultima cifra em numerosos casos é de 2,50 M., o que determina uma taxa de Hb. egual a 23%. Ao analysarmos certas observações, que descrevem aspectos hematologicos differentes daquelles aqui descriptos, concluimos pela existencia nesses casos anomalos, de superposições de outras doenças, cuja etio-pathogenia nada tem a ver com os factores que determinam o apparecimento da anemia ancylostomotica. A regeneração hematica processa-se na Ancylostomose unicamente após a administração de ferro em dóses variaveis, conforme o sal empregado. Mostraram-se inactivas nos casos aqui observados, as administrações de figado crú, triptophano, hystidina, lecithina, Vit. B, saes de arsenico, manganez, cobalto, cobre e a alimentação com dietas ricas em ferro. Em virtude dos resultados que obtivemos com a administração isolada de ferro, concluimos pela inefficiencia da administração de substancias pyrrholicas, da fracção hepatica sensivel nas anemias hypochromicas, e da associação ao ferro de acido chlorhydrico. Todas essas substancias, e tambem a elimanação simples dos helminthos parasitos, não só mostraram-se isoladamente sem acção sobre o sangue, como não auxiliaram a regeneração provocada pelo ferro...

This paper deals with experiments of propination of small doses of filtrates of old cultures of colon bacilli to normal rabbits by stomach tube. The experiments have demonstrate that the propination of the filtrates produces a decrease of weight in the animals in experience. The loss of weight just after the first propination of the filtrate to the rabbit and continues progressively leading to emaciation and death if new doses are given. If the propination was too much prolonged the animals goes to death, notwithstanding the propination of the filtrates being discontinued.

I) the A. presents a method developed for the preparation of thick blood films, specially old desiccated smears. The observations are based on the experience of more than 53000 blood samples collected in the laboratory of the “Serviço de Malaria do Nordeste” as well as in the research department of the “Serviço de Malaria da Baixada Fluminenese”. II) As in introductory matter, he emphasizes the value of the obstacles presented by overdrying of the thick blood films occurring systematically in great malaria control organizations in which the laboratory receives materials from more or less remote localities, particularly in the Brazilian northeast, in regions invaded by Anopheles gambiae. III) An analysis of the causes of failure of the methods of Chorine and Knowles recorded in the literature for such purposes is given, as well as its adaptability for the simultaneous preparation of large numbers of samples. IV) The method is based the protective action of a previous fixation by a dilute solution of formalin, which, without preventing further dehemoglobinization, prevents morphological alterations in the parasites by the action of Knowles solution which is retained in this metod without modification. V) For washing out the acids of the dehemoglobinizating solution as well as for diluting the Giemsa stain, the A. proposes a very simple technique, extremely convenient for such purpose, which consists in adding acetic acid to the distilled water in the proportion of 1 drop for each 10cc of water, and then increasing the hydrogeni-on concentration to pH 7.2 with a 2% sol. of sodium carbonate. As indicator a 0.02% solution purple-bromcresol prepared in accordante to Medalia, is used. In this reaction there is the formation of the acetic acid ↔ sodium acetate, buffer system very suitable for giving a convenient pH and for preventing the precipitation of the dye, which can be used for two or three batches of 700 or 800 slides each, without changing the staining solution. VI) – The method can be summarized as follow: For a small number of samples, Coplin’s or any other staining jar can be used. Large number of slides must be placed in groups of 10 or 15 units each, the slides being separated by a piece of cardboard, according to Barber & Komp. A) Fix in dilute formalin (2%), during 5 minutes. b) Without washing, put in Knowles solution (see the formula in the text), no more than 20 minutes. c)Two successive washings in distilled water, buffered as explained above (which can be used several times). d) Dry and stain with Giemsa solution, prepared by using 1 drop of the stain for each c. c. of buffered distilled water. Time: 1 hour. E) Was in distilled water and dry.

Seis sifiliticos foram tratados com penicilina em doses baixas, no Hospital Evandro Chagas, do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. Protossifilomas foram bacterioscópicamente negativos entre 3 e 6 dias e cicatrizaram completamente entre 10 e 13 idas, com a aplicação de 1.200 a 2.400 unidades Oxford por 24 horas. Condilomas sifiliticos e placas mucosas hipertróficos tiveram bacterioscopia negativa entre 6 e 8 dias, cicatrizaram completamente entre 10 e 20 dias, com a aplicação de 1.200 unidades por 24 horas. Porém, doses de 4.800 unidades, no mesmo espaço de tempo, forma insuficientes para controlar outras manifestações luéticas secundárias (roséolas, placas mucosas). Em 3 casos sob contrõle sorológico, verificou-se que a negatividade das reações não acompanha imediatamente a cura clínica. Além disso, conforme já foi observado também com a bouba, os resultados dos testes sorológicos oscilam mezes a fio, negativando e voltando à positividade.

The microbiological assay method of Snell and Wright for niacine was studied and some modifications of the basal medium were proposed. A maximal growth of the "Lactobacillus arabinosus" was obtained by the addition to the basal medium of 25 mg % asparagine and increasing the percentages of glucose and sodium acetate. Liver and yeast extracts were assayed satisfactory and the niacine added was recovered quantitatively.

Fidena callipyga n. sp. is described from three specimens, in the collections of the INSTITUTO OSWALDO CRUZ. It is related to Fidena ornata kröb., 1931 and Fidena aureopygia Kröb., 1931. It can be distinguished from both by the postfrons which is comparatively broader in relation to the high, by the light golden-yellow color of the beard, in striking contrast to the hairs on the propleurae and anterior coxae, and by the extent of the golden-yellow on the abdomen. In size, ornamentation and principally in the form of the palpi it is nearer to aureopygia. Fidena callipyga n. sp. and Melpia miniatistola (End.), 1925 constitute a pair of convergent forms, they differ however not only as to hairs on the mesonotum, femora and hind tibiae and form of the abdomen, but also as to the color of the beard.

This report belongs to the series of works carried out Oswaldo Cruz Ins¬titute, on the treatment of treponematosis with penicillin. The present report deals with investigations performed in order to ascer¬tain the following points: 1) the mininal curative dosis for the initial lesions of yaws; 2) the effect of reduction of the number of injections each day, to verifie the possibility of application of penicillin in the prophylaxis of yaws in rural zones; 3) reduction of the time of treatment by application of high dosis. 1) With dosis of 150 and 100 Oxford units each four hours, clinical reco¬very was obtained after 17 days of treatment. With 50 O.u. during 40 days clinical recovery was not obtained. 2) a) With 3 injections of 400 O.u. each day (6,12 and 18 hoórs clocks) clinical recovery was obtained after 14 to 16 days; b) with 2 injections of 400 O.u. each day (6 and 18 hoors clocks), clinical recovery was obtained after 16 to 23 days; c) with 1 injection of 1.600 and 3.200 each day, clinical recovery was obtained after 30 and 20 days. 3) With dosis of 33.3 and 46.7 O.u. by each kilo of weight each four hours, during 15 days, clinical recovery was obtained more or less in 25 days. The same result was obtained with the dosis of 61.5 and 166.7 O.u. by each kilo of weight, each four hours, during 4 days. But with 100.000 O.u. in fine dosis of 20.000 in a day ou by, clinical recovery was not obtained.
