The authors determined the serum and salivary concentration of albumin and immunoglobulins G, A and M in 16 dysmature and 16 healthy infants, born at term, mean age 4.8 +/- 1.8 and 4.7 +/- 1.4 respectively. The ratio of the amounts of salivary immunoglobulins transmitted from the blood to those secreted locally, applying the formula of Deuschl and Johansson, completed by the authors. The mean albumin, IgA and IgG levels were lower in the dysmature infants probably due to immaturity of the elements that synthesize these proteins, i.e. accelerate protein metabolism. Marked differences were observed in serum IgM between the two lots. In the saliva of immature infants albumin concentrations were very high probably due to the permeability of the physiologic barriers higher in these children due to insufficient biological maturity of the tissues. IgG concentration in the saliva showed no marked differences between the two groups, but the fraction filtered from the blood was greater in the immature infants, likewise attributed to massive transudation. More than 99% of immunoglobulin A in the saliva is of local origin and shows no considerable difference between the two groups.

The present paper concerns with the problem of small intestine tumours in children, describing certain particularities. There were three lymphoblastic lymphomas and a cavernous hemangioma. Stress is laid on the rare incidence, the prevalent age, selective localization morpho-clinical forms, diagnostic difficulties, evolutive accidents and therapeutical conditions.

The authors described the clinical, biologic and histologic particularities of two cases of congenital nephrotic syndrome, Finnish type. Clinically, the hydropic syndrome was represented by anasarca: biologically by marked proteinuria, hypoproteinemia with dysproteinemia and hyperlipemia with dyslipemia. Histologically both cases presented microcystic dilatation of the proximal tubuli contorti. The evolution was unfavorable and ended in death.

After reviewing recent data concerning the pathologic physiology of cystic fibrosis the authors present an anatomoclinical study of 30 infants, of which 13 neonates, with a diagnosis of mucoviscidosiss, emphasizing the clinical and pathohistologic polymorphism of this affection, and, particularly involvement of the liver and intestines. Specific hepatic lesions were encountered in only 10% of the group studied (Bodian biliary cirrhosis and mucus stoppers in the bile ducts). Unspecific hepatic lesions were dominant, common with those of neonatal hepatitis, and hepatic steatosis. Stress is laid on the presence of atrophy of the villi in children with hepatic steatosis, proof of a lesional substrate of malabsorption in this disease. The authors note the early onset of hepatic lesions, the gravity of the cases with an early clinical expression and hepatic biopsy puncture as the only method revealing hepatic affection in cystic fibrosis. In the first semester of life there exists purely digestive forms, hepatic steatosis and oedematous dystrophy in infants at this age being highly suspect of the etiology.
