vaccine therapy was projductlve of results 10^ better than those 

 achieved with other forms employed. However, a decrease in 

 plasma proteins, the onset of renal dysfunction and certain 

 vascular changes are contraindications to further therapy.

Loss of pyrogenic activity by solutions prepared for intra- 

 venous injection (.Translated Title) 



Rev. brasil. farm. 31:121-127, 19^9 



"...pyrogenic activity disappeared from physiologic saline 

 solution after 71 days. Isotonic glucose solutions prepared 

 and sealed in an atmosphere of CO2...PH 4.5-^.8, lost activity 

 after 41 or 62 days respectively ... (when) prepared without 

 these precautions and with pH 6.8 retained activity 53 days. 



pH between 4.5 and 6.8 did not influence the rate of loss of 

 pyrogenic activity. Concentration may be a more important 

 factor.

Odczyn opadania cialek czerwonych jako metoda roznicowania 

 wielocukrow bakteryjnych (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate in 

 the differentiation of bacterial polysaccharide) 



Med. Doswiad. i. Mikrobiol. (Warsaw) 1:40-51, 1949 



The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is increased after adminis- 

 tration of polysaccharide-lipid -protein complexes from bacteria 

 of the Salmonella group, or their carbohydrate derivatives. 

 Other polysaccharides in suspension fluids do not enter into 

 such complexes and have no effect on sedimentation rates.

The use of pyrogens in the treatment of lower nephron nephrosis 



J. Urol. 61:1003-1009, 1949 



Inconclusive results during a study of the effect of increased 

 renal flow on symptomatology of lower nephron nephrosis suggest 

 that the rabbit may not be the best animal for use in the study 

 of the problem because it possesses a most efficient reticuloendo- 

 thelial system.
