RESUMO
Our report refers to 58-year old woman, who after 7 years of asthma developed multi system symptoms and sings of Churg-Strauss syndrome; these are polyneuropathy, skin lesions, hypereosinophilia, eosinophilic infiltrates around blood vessels. Biopsy of skin specimen confirmed initial diagnosis and helped with efficient therapy. We consider this report to be important in early diagnosis and proper treatment of Churg-Strauss syndrome.

Circulating immune complexes (CIC) containing HBsAg and HBeAg were identified in sera of 5 out of 6 children with hepatitis B mediated membranous glomerulonephritis. CIC were precipitated from sera by 3.5% PEG, washed and subsequently analysed after acid dissociation and trypsin digestion. HBsAg, anti-HBs and albumin; HBeAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBc were recovered from the isolated complexes and these findings are discussed. Analysis of 3.5% PEG mediated precipitate of human serum proteins showed the relatively high content of IgG classical pathway complement components: C1q, C4 and C3.

The peripheral blood of 32 healthy men, aged 20-50 years, constituted material for isolating 4 cell fractions: erythrocytes, lymphocytes, granulocytes, and platelets. The adrenaline method was used to determine SOD enzymatic activity. The results of these estimations for isolated blood cells would indicate their following classification by the progressive activity values: platelets less than granulocytes less than erythrocytes less than lymphocytes. The SOD activity differences for the examined blood cells were statistically significant. Furthermore, it was found that there was a marked correlation (greater than 0.8 probability) between the SOD activity of lymphocytes and platelets, and a correlation with slightly lower probability (greater than 0.7) for erythrocytes and platelets.

The studies were aimed at testing whether or not there is a dependence between the enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in lymphocytes and erythrocytes of peripheral blood, and the age between 20 and 60 years. Examined were 235 healthy men working in leather plants. Between the ages 41 and 50 years SOD enzymatic activity of lymphocytes was found to show a statistically significant decrease. SOD enzymatic activity of erythrocytes does not undergo significant changes during the occupationally active period of life for men (20-60 years). The predominant values of SOD enzymatic activity of lymphocytes were found within 0-1.0 U/10(6) lymphocytes and within 50-200 U/ml blood in case of SOD activity in erythrocytes.
