    Abstract Thyroid diseases are often associated with psychiatric disorders. The prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis in the general population is estimated to be at about 5-14 %. A clinical study was conducted to evaluate the association between autoimmune thyroiditis and depression in psychiatric outpatients. Fifty-two patients with depression and nineteen patients with schizophrenia (serving as control group), attending a psychiatric outpatient unit, were included. In addition to the measurement of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies, and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland was performed. The proportion of pathologically increased anti-TPO levels in patients with depression was high. Furthermore, the distribution of pathologically increased anti-TPO levels was significantly (χ (2) = 5.5; p = 0.019) different between patients with depression (32.7 %) and patients with schizophrenia (5.3 %). In a gender- and age-adjusted logistic regression, the odds ratio of uni- or bipolar patients with depression for an autoimmune thyroiditis was ten times higher (95 % CI = 1.2-85.3) when compared with schizophrenia patients. TSH basal level did not differ between patients with depression and patients with schizophrenia. Our study demonstrates a strong association between anti-TPO levels, which are considered to be of diagnostic value for autoimmune thyroiditis (in combination with a hypoechoic thyroid in ultrasonography) with uni- or bipolar depression. It should be noted that the routinely measured TSH level is not sufficient in itself to diagnose this relevant autoimmune comorbidity.

    Abstract Hyperornithinemia, hyperammonemia and homocitrullinuria (HHH)-syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the urea cycle, probably caused by a defect in ornithine transport across the hepatic inner mitochondrial membrane. Single rudimentary cilia were present in approximately ten percent of post-divisional or dividing fibroblasts cultured from the skin of a patient with the HHH-syndrome, whereas no such organelles were observed in dermal fibroblasts cultured from normal controls. Since single rudimentary ("primary," "oligo," "solitary") cilia have been observed in a variety of cells in animals and men but the stimuli for their formation and their significance remain controversial, a brief report on their presence in the as yet unreported condition (HHH-syndrome) was considered of interest; hopefully, it might contribute to the ultimate unravelling of some of the unresolved problems. It is of note that unlike the author's previous findings of these unusual organelles in cells affected by a pathological process (atherosclerosis), the rudimentary cilia were observed in the present instance in dividing or postdivisional cells. The implications of these (and other) observations must await further work.

    Abstract Morphological studies of aortic fatty dots and streaks, and the adjacent normally appearing intima, in a 5 3/4-year-old boy who died of pneumonia, showed several hitherto unreported features. In lesions, lipid vacuoles and/or other cytoplasmic "inclusions" (ultrastructurally considered to present complex forms of lipids) were present on occasion in the endothelium but consistently involved the (intimal) smooth muscle cells (SMC). Similar changes were present in the adjacent intima, but were here less prominent and "tapered off" distally. A moderate number of macrophages also contained cytoplasmic lipids but such cells entirely free of lipid inclusions were observed, too. Most surprisingly, dilated and many cisternae of rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the SMC of lesions were associated spatially with cytoplasmic droplets and other forms of lipids. The results of these studies question the generally accepted central role of macrophages as being primarily involved in the pathogenesis of tissue changes in Tangier disease. It is possible that in view of the absence or paucity of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and alterations of (their) apo A-I and apo A-II (as well as of other lipids), the arterial SMC may be in some way involved in the metabolism of the above substances in this disorder. Support of this tentative (and highly speculative) assumption must await further work utilizing tissues and cells other than those containing macrophages and other derivatives of reticulo-endothelial system.

    Abstract Since its inception in 1983 the Canadian Atherosclerosis Society (CAS) has established itself firmly on the national and international scene as a forceful scientific voice. Its presence and activities have had their dominant expression at annual meetings held jointly with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) and the Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation (CSCI) and in sponsoring other scientific and educational events, the most important of which was the Canadian Consensus Conference on Cholesterol (Ottawa, March 1988). It provided a forum for interaction between the scientific community, government, funding agencies, industry and the general public, and culminated in concrete recommendations for the populace of Canada. It also 'induced' a continuum in governmental and public concern for health with respect to atherosclerosis, and beyond it, the field of cardiovascular diseases. This dialogue continues. As a member (Constituent Society) of the International Atherosclerosis Society (IAS), the CAS has a voice in the international community, its policies and activities. The membership increase from 69 in 1983 to 175 in 1991 reflects steady growth of the CAS. The Society has been active in other areas (publications, awards for young investigators, and common educational endeavours with other groups) and will be host to the 1994 International Symposium on Atherosclerosis. Over a short period of only eight years, all of the above attests to sufficient progress (or achievement) for any scientific society. And yet, there remain quite a few areas not addressed as yet and some sad experiences (eg, that with the Long Term Planning Committee) that must be quickly remedied, if the Society is to keep pace with the everchanging emphasis in research that in the final analysis aims at improving the overall well-being and health of all Canadians. Inherent in the definition of history is the premise that accounts be provided of facts only. Historians who research their subjects derive these facts from studying the necessary accounts relating to these 'facts', using different and preferably controversial resources, so as to present the facts as objectively as possible. It is impossible, however, to fulfill all the above criteria for a historian who lived through every phase of 'life' of the subject of his or her account, because no matter how objective one wishes to remain (and bends backwards to achieve this) there will be always an element of a personal prism through which the historian lived the 'life' with his subject. For being human and thus unable to eliminate entirely that personal component, this writer asks humbly for the reader's understanding.

    Abstract The three forms of origin of the atherosclerotic plaque of adults, that is, the fatty streaks, gelatinous elevations, and microthrombi, all occur in arteries of normal infants and children. Some of these may become arrested or regress, but many progress to the prominent lesions that precipitate various clinical catastrophies. The aim of modern medicine is to modify or eliminate many of the factors known to advance the atherosclerotic process and thus decrease the incidence of this disease, which ranks highest on the list of causes of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Of these factors, some may be controlled by dietary means (low salt; low total fat and cholesterol; appropriate ratios of saturated to mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids; high content of complex carbohydrates and fiber); controlling hypertension, diabetes, and obesity; abstaining from cigarette smoking; and vigorous physical activities. Because patterns of life-style are determined in childhood and adolescence, and because it is only during that period of life that measures to prevent progression of atherosclerosis may be predictably effective, it becomes increasingly apparent that atherosclerosis is, indeed, a pediatric problem.
