ABSTRACT
192 patients, 72 women and 120 men, aged 18-75, presenting genital herpes, were followed. Among these, 122 formed the test batch, exclusively with Antiherpin, and 70 represented the control batch, treated with other therapeutic preparations. Antiherpin was administered by percutaneous route, by scarification. The following results were obtained: in the test batch 68.02% recoveries, 30.33% improvements and 1.64% statu quo; in the control batch no recoveries were recorded: only 60% statu quo but also 40% aggravations. However, after Antiherpin treatment beginning, even in this batch favourable results were obtained: in statu quo category, 66.7% recoveries, 30.9% improvements were obtained, 2.4% being not influenced by the treatment; in aggravation category 50% recoveries, 42.9% improvements were obtained, 7.1% maintaining their statu quo. During Antiherpin treatment, no case of adverse reaction was recorded, the preparation being very well tolerated by the organism. The above mentioned results prove Antiherpin efficacy in the treatment and prevention of genital herpes, even in the case of the patients previously being administered another treatment type.

Two cases of acute acalculous cholecystitis occurring after major surgical procedures unrelated to the biliary tract are described. Symptoms are usually masked by postsurgical pain. Gangrene and perforation usually occur; this explains why the mortality rate is high. Awareness of this complication is essential; it leads to the early performance of cholecystostomy or cholecystostomy, lifesaving procedures.

Mitochondrial membrane-bound DNA complex from bovine heart mitochondria lysed in the presence of Triton X-100 was isolated by differential centrifugation. The yield of "nucleoid" is about 30 microgram protein/mg mitochondrial protein. It contains about 3-5 microgram DNA/mg protein and varying amounts of RNA. The heart mitochondrial nucleoid actively synthesizes RNA. The nucleoid fraction contains about sixteen different proteins as evidenced by urea-SDS gel electrophoresis and about twenty-one proteins as evidenced by acid-urea gel electrophoresis. It appears that the nucleoid is attached to the inner membrane since it does contain cytochromes.
