The pathophysiology of endemic thyreopathies in extensive endemies is well known. In recent years considerable attention has been attracted even by moderate iodine deficiency, the result of which is not only goiter but a number of health, social and economic problems. The aim of WHO in this field is to eliminate iodine deficiency in Europe by the year 2000. The contemporary situation of the child population in the Czech Republic as far as the iodine supply is concerned, requires immediate measures.

In the jejunal mucosae of 45 children with coeliac sprue (24 cases in the florid stage and 21 cases in remission) and 19 children without signs of affection of the small intestine a quantitative investigation was made of cells in the lamina propria which were visualized selectively by histochemical and immunohistochemical methods-plasmocytes with IgA, plasmocytes with IgM, plasmocytes with IgG, cells containing IgE, mast cells, eosinophil and neutrophil leucocytes. The objective was to find which of the above cells will best reveal by a change of their number the pathological process in the lamina propria of children with coeliac sprue and which has the greatest informative value on the present state of the lamina propria. It was found that plasmocytes with IgG and cells containing IgE are good markers of the activity of coeliac sprue in the lamina propria. The best marker of the activity of coeliac sprue in the lamina propria are mast cells detected by the histochemical reaction for tryptase using Z-Ala-Ala-Lys-MNA. This reaction detects mast cells also in non-fixed bioptic material.

The authors present briefly statistical data pertaining to attempted suicide and completed suicide, they reflect on psychological criteria of true suicidal behaviour. They emphasize the necessity of subsequent specialized care after attempted suicide even in cases where objectively inadequate methods were used, as in childhood and adolescence there is the danger that the attempt will be repeated. The authors mention the statistically most frequent combinations of suicidal behaviour and other diseases, disorders or social pathology, incl. pathological family relations. The authors emphasize the clinically tested experience demonstrated on case-histories that if the pathological family relations are not the obvious immediate cause of suicidal behaviour, they play nevertheless an important, frequently fundamental though latent role in the development of autoaggressive behaviour of children and adolescents. This is why the comprehensive therapeutic approach is based on family therapy which proceeds in the out-patient department after the patient has been discharged from hospital.

Fluoride continues to be a safe and effective public health measure. In spite of a recent decline in caries reduction in the US due to the large number of supplemental fluorides available, water fluoridation remains a cost-effective method to prevent decay in children. Also, a review of the literature shows a lack of ill effects associated with fluoride use in children. Most recently, the United States Public Health Service continues to support fluoridation in terms of policy and research. In 1990, the US toxicology Program concluded there were no detrimental effects including cancer risk from fluoride use.
