RESUMO

We describe the unusual spread of a penicillin-susceptible methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone in hospitals in western Switzerland, where the incidence of MRSA is usually low. During a 2-year period, this clone had been responsible for several outbreaks and had been isolated from >156 persons in 21 institutions. Molecular typing by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) demonstrated that all of these isolates belonged to the same clone. In 1 of the outbreaks, involving 30 cases, the clone was responsible for at least 17 secondary cases. In contrast, during the period of the latter outbreak, 9 other patients harboring different MRSA strains, as assessed by PFGE, were hospitalized in the same wards, but no secondary cases occurred. These observations suggest that this clone, compared with other MRSA strains, had some intrinsic factor(s) that contributed to its ability to disseminate and could thus be considered epidemic.

RESUMO

The present work was planned to study the effects of changes in lipid metabolism irrespective of FFA concentrations (FFA) on the regulation of oxidative and nonoxidative disposal of a glucose infusion during hyperinsulinaemia. Fifteen normal volunteers participated in the 3 protocols, in which 1) Intralipid 2) beta-pyridylcarbinol or 3) isotonic saline were infused during 2 hours. Thereafter, these infusions were discontinued and a two-hour euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp was performed. All three studies were carried out in combination with indirect calorimetry to measure glucose uptake, and oxidative and nonoxidative glucose disposal (corresponding essentially to glucose storage). Plasma FFA concentrations were 508 +/- 34, 601 +/- 43 and 546 +/- 45 mumol/l in the basal state during the Intralipid, beta-pyridylcarbinol and control protocols. It increased to 960 +/- 71 mumol/l after the Intralipid infusion, fell to 246 +/- 17 mumol/l after the beta-pyridylcarbinol infusion, vs 600 +/- 48 mumol/l in the control. At the end of the glucose-insulin clamp the values were low in the 3 protocols: 263 +/- 17, 233 +/- 19 and 204 +/- 14 mumol/l. Intralipid infusion prior to the clamp protocol induced a suppression of both insulin-mediated glucose uptake (4.91 +/- 0.46 (Intralipid) vs 6.83 +/- 0.63 mg.kg-1.min-1 (saline)) and storage (1.61 +/- 0.34 vs 2.99 +/- 0.53 mg.kg-1.min-1) while beta-pyridylcarbinol infusion induced an increased insulin-mediated glucose uptake (8.58 +/- 0.37 mg.kg-1.min-1) and in glucose storage (4.29 +/- 0.31 mg.kg-1.min-1) (p less than 0.5 vs Intralipid). These changes occurred even though FFA plasma concentrations were similar in the 3 experimental conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

RESUMO

The present study was designed to assess the respective effect of altered lipid metabolism and hyperglycemia on glucose metabolism in vivo in obese subjects. Six young obese non-diabetic volunteers were studied on four occasions during hyperinsulinemic clamp, twice during euglycemia and twice during hyperglycemia, with or without the infusion of beta-pyridylcarbinol, an inhibitor of lipid metabolism. Glucose oxidation was calculated from continuous respiratory exchange measurements, and glucose storage was obtained as the difference between total glucose disposal and glucose oxidation. Two-way analysis of variance (with interaction term) demonstrated (i) a significant increase for total glucose disposal with beta-pyridylcarbinol but no significant effect of hyperglycemia and no interaction between the two treatments, and (ii) an important increase of beta-pyridylcarbinol to enhance glucose storage but no significant effect of hyperglycemia and no interaction between the two treatments. These results show that obese people, at physiological insulinemia, enhance their glucose disposal and glucose storage when lipid oxidation is artificially lowered. This suggests that enhanced lipid oxidation is related to insulin resistance in these patients. However, hyperglycemia in these patients failed to compensate for defective glucose disposal or storage.

RESUMO

We have studied the variation of ACTH, cortisol and DHEA-S plasma levels in 6 patients before and up to 15 months after surgical remission of Cushing's syndrome in order to compare the relative dependency of cortisol and adrenal androgens towards ACTH. Three patients with adrenal adenoma were treated by unilateral adrenalectomy. Three other patients with Cushing's disease underwent transsphenoidal pituitary tumorectomy. Preoperative ACTH was undetectable in patients with adrenal adenoma and high-normal or elevated in patients with Cushing's disease. All patients became rapidly hypocortisolemic after surgery and ACTH and cortisol levels eventually recovered at different intervals. Patients with adrenal adenoma had an initially low DHEA-S which failed to normalize for the entire follow-up period. Patients with Cushing's disease had normal or high-normal DHEA-S which became low immediately after surgery, following ACTH decrease, and it remained low during the entire follow-up period. In conclusion, after removal of corticotropic inhibition secondary to excess cortisol, DHEA-S remains suppressed for a longer period of time than cortisol. Moreover it only takes a short period of relatively low ACTH (after pituitary tumor excision) to induce a long lasting DHEA-S inhibition. Therefore the DHEA-S secreting adrenal cells seem to be more sensitive to the lack of corticotropic stimulation than cortisol secreting cells.

RESUMO

A survey of medical ambulatory practice was carried out in February-March 1981 in the two Swiss cantons of Vaud and Fribourg (total population: 700,000), in which 205 physicians participated. The methodology used was inspired from the U.S. National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, the data collection instrument of which was adapted to our conditions; in addition, data were gathered on all referrals prescribed by 154 physicians during two weeks. (The instruments used are presented.) The potential and limits of this type of survey are discussed, as well as the representativity of the participating physicians and of the recorded visits, which are a systematic sample of over 43,000 visits.

RESUMO

P730, the active phytochrome, causes an increased formation of xylem elements (tracheids and vessel elements) in the hypocotyl of the mustard seedling (Figs. 3,4). On the other hand, the pattern of differentiation of the bundles and the course of the bundles within the hypocotyl (Figs. 1,2) are the same in etiolated as well as in illuminated seedlings.-It has been concluded that in connection with bundle differentiation P730 acts only as a "trigger" at the level of "secondary differentiation". The pattern of differentiation is laid down in the course of "primary differentiation" which apparently is not influenced by P730. The same problem has been dealt with more in detail in a foregoing paper (WAGNER and MOHR, 1966b).
