The Authors have investigated the frequency of hypertension (systolic, diastolic, systo-diastolic, severe and borderline, sustained and labile) in 2 groups, respectively of 738 and 1041 school children between 11 and 14 years of age, from the provinces of Ferrara and Rovigo. The percentile graphic representations and the frequency of different types of hypertension have been compared in these two parallel studies; a correlation of statistical significance has been shown between hypertension and obesity in the Ferrara group, while a similar correlation between hypertension and familiarity for hypertension has been demonstrated in the Rovigo group.

The daily urinary output was calculated on the basis of creatininuria, starting from an accepted formula that evaluates ClCr, employing the subject's height and creatininemia. Results are satisfactory. The new formula estimates the daily urinary volume on the basis of the mean of the three creatininuria values of the day.

The effect of Basic-trypsin-inhibitor (BPTI) on the in vitro PHA-induced blastic transformation of lymphocytes is reported. Cultures of lymphocytes from healthy subjects were added with PHA, BPTI and PHA + BPTI; simple control-cultures were also performed. The blastic transformation was evaluated by morphologic method after 72 h incubation at 37 degrees C. The results are compared with Wilcoxon's test; it was observed that BPTI reduces the PHA-induced blastic transformation, but it has no effect on cultures without PHA. The hypothesis that BPTI inhibits only PHA-stimulated lymphocytes is suggested.

Renal clearances of transeferrin, IgG and C'3 were determined by the immunodiffusion method in 51 healthy children. Statistical elaboration shows the great dispersion around the mean values. The results of other Authors in healthy adults are confirmed.
