"War is bad for practically every
line of human endeavor except medi-cine,"
said Dr. Ruth M. Collings, col-lege
physician, in her lecture, "New
Adventures in Medicjne," at noon on
Thursday, November 80. General topic
of her lecture was therapeutic advances
in medicine, which, according to Dr.
Collings, have been greatly aided by
research of the medical corps, espe-cially
chemotherapy and fractionation
of blood.
Chemotherapy, .which is the treat-ment
of internal diseases by chemical
reagents that kill the microorganisms
without injuring the patient, was orig-inated
with the discovery bt a com-pound
that destroyed the"S^hilis germ.
Th»«rat big advance af.-Ajhis discov-er
which .-V.U.autlaihi*
known.
With the coming of the second World
War, the sulfonamides were used as
preventatives by the medical corps.
They have been found to be very suc-cessful
in combatting the recurrence
of rheumatic fever, meningitis, and
upper respiratory infections.
Penicillin Important
Ranking along with the sulfa drugs
in importance in present day chemo
therapy is penicillin, she continued.
This drug, which is produced from
mold, was discovered ten years before
it was used by Alexander Fleming, a
ISritish bacteriologist. However, no
clinical work was done with penicillin
until 1940, when some Oxford Univer
sity men studied Fleming's test tube
results and had them published.
Dr. Collings pointed out that peni-cillin
is almost a hundred per cent
cure for early stage syphilis, while
sulfa drugs are not so effective. The
number of late cases in which peni-cillin
was effective to some extent is
large, too. It has also reduced the
death rates from blood poisoning, and
staphyloeoccus meningitis. Some bac
teria, such as gonococcus, may be re-sistant,
at times, to sulfa treatment,
but almost invariably respond to treat-ment
with penicillin.
1'nlike the sulfa drugs, penicillin
is non-toxic though it must be Injected
into the body because the juices of
the digestive tract destroy its effec-tiveness.
On the other hand, the sulfa
drugs can be given by mouth. At the
present time there is a shortage of
penicillin, due to the fact that it must
be grown rather than manufactured.
Biological soil substances of recent
imimrtance are tyrociadian, grnmocid-inn.
and tyrothrycian. These sub-stances
discovered by Du Bois of Rocke-feller
' Institute are more effective
than penicillin, but may be used only
externally as they are destructive to
red blood cells.
Blood Frartionation
Frnctionation of blood, continued Dr.
Collings. started over a hundred years
ago with blood transfusions. In 1938-39
the Russians set up the first blood
banks, from which came the idea of
transporting plasma to the battlefield
for blood substitutes in transfusions.
Exiierlments are still being carried
out. and forward advances being made
In chemotherapy and blood fractiona-tlon.
