Abstract
Serum carnitine is an essential cofactor for the transport of free fatty acids into the mitochondria. We determined the free and the total serum carnitine in 99 healthy blood donors and 58 patients with different forms of heart muscle disease. Thirty patients had dilated (DCM), 10 hypertrophic (HCM) and 8 alcoholic (ACM) cardiomyopathy and 10 patients had congestive heart failure of different etiology than cardiomyopathy (CHF). Free and total serum carnitine were determined by an enzymatic-spectrophotometric assay according to Pearson. Mean values for free and total serum carnitine were as follows: 47 and 74 mumol/l in controls (C; blood donors), 74 (P less than 0.01 vs. C) and 83 mumol/l in DCM, 66 (P less than 0.01 vs. C) and 89 mumol/l in HCM, 85 (P less than 0.01 vs. C) and 104 mumol/l (P less than 0.05 vs. C) in ACM and 86 (P less than 0.01 vs. C) and 129 mumol/l (P less than 0.01 vs. C) in CHF. Ten patients died during the mean observation time of 13 months, 8 patients with DCM and 2 with CHF; 9 of these 10 patients had initially a markedly increased serum carnitine. Patients with DCM were divided into two groups with normal (n = 15; 25-68 mumol/l) and increased (n = 15; greater than 68 mumol/l) free serum carnitine. Patients with increased serum carnitine showed a significantly higher mortality rate (47%) than patients with normal serum carnitine. It is concluded that free and total serum carnitine are elevated in patients with congestive heart failure, dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The etiology of this carnitine metabolism disturbance is unclear but it is probably due to a secondary phenomenon in patients with congestive heart failure or primary myocardial hypertrophy. An increased serum carnitine is a poor prognostic sign in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
An experimental study is reported of the irritant potential of oil of purcellin , isopropyl palmitate, nonyl phenol, Modulan , Amerchol and Acetulan when massaged in fixed amounts into the rabbit's skin daily for 30 days. Skin biopsies provided data on the number of epithelial cell layers, cell counts of the superficial dermis, and the fibre and basement membrane changes. All the test compounds induced changes in the form of increased number of epithelial cell layers and of the papillary dermis cell count, more marked for Acetulan or Amerchol . The difficulties in the evaluation of the results and their applications to human pathology are discussed.

Abstract
The capacity of tegobetain, pyrrolnitrin, tolcyclate and chlorquinaldol to induce delayed-type contact sensitization was studied in guinea pigs in 2 series of tests using the method of Magnusson & Kligman and the authors' modification of the wholly intradermal Draize technique. Histological examination of skin biopsies obtained from the test area demonstrated that tegobetain, pyrrolnitrin and tolcyclate are potential sensitizers.

Abstract
A multisite double-blind study was designed to determine the effectiveness of a phenylpropanolamine-caffeine combination in achieving weight loss. Two-hundred and one obese adult patients were divided into three separate groups in which phenylpropanolamine/caffeine was compared with either placebo (6 weeks), mazindol (6 weeks), or diethylpropion (8 weeks). In these clinical trials, phenylpropanolamine/caffeine proved to be as effective as mazindol and diethylpropion and significantly more effective than placebo in achieving weight loss. Overall, phenylpropanolamine/caffeine had fewer side effects than mazindol and diethylpropion. Its use as an effective anorectic agent in the treatment of obesity is reviewed.

Abstract
A staged histological study of skin changes induced in rabbits by daily application of five bases used for topical medicaments and cosmetics, namely glycols, petrolatum, Modulan, Acetulan and Amerchol L 101, over periods of 100 days, is reported. Sections obtained every 10 days were examined for changes in the epithelium, in the character of the dermal infiltrate and in the superficial collagen fibers. Glycols showed no particular effects on the skin; petrolatum produced acanthosis and vacuolization in the epidermis, and mononuclear cell infiltration of the dermis but evident collagen changes. Lanolin derivatives produced acanthosis and vacuolization of the epidermis, with lymphomonouclear infiltration of the dermis and with dissociation of collagen; examination around the 30th day showed a tendency to basal layer disorganization by the infiltrate.

Abstract
Twenty subjects with allergic contact dermatitis were patch tested with the responsible allergen applied to four fixed points on the back. Skin biopsies of the four sites were obtained after 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours, fixed in neutral formalin and stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Giemsa and toluidine blue. Sections were examined and lymphomonocytes, mast cells, eosinophils and basophils counted. In all cases the infiltrate consisted mainly of lymphomonocytes (80-82%); mast cells (5%) and basophils (0.2%) do not present clear variations within the given time. Eosinophils showed a definite numerical increase in six cases out of 20.
