RESUMO
The first case of blue-rubber-bleb nevus syndrome treated with CAPD in Japan was presented. As operation for A-V fistula construction could not be performed due to the skin lesions, she was obliged to have CAPD treatment. She has been visiting our hospital for regular check-ups.

A 25 year old man had been subjected to subtotal thyroidectomy under the diagnosis of Graves' disease. About a year later the patient developed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Reports on cases of Graves' disease complicated with SLE have barely been observed so far. Consequently, the authors reckoned, with reference to the other literatures on the subject, our case worth reporting.

A method for the analysis of 5-hydroxypipecolic acid and 4-hydroxyproline in mammalian brain and blood is reported. The identification and quantification of the two hydroxyimino acids were accomplished with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry including a selected ion-monitoring technique following HPLC prepurification. The lower limit of detection for the method is 2 to 10 pmol. The amounts of 5-hydroxypipecolic acid and 4-hydroxyproline in blood were 20 to 30 pmol/ml and 3 to 6 nmol/ml, respectively. Their concentrations in the rabbit whole brain were determined to be 5 and 120 pmol/g, respectively.
