    Notes: A review has been presented of our studies on burn toxins from mouse skin. Sterile homogenates of mouse skin burned in vitro at 250°C rapidly induce neurological disturbances and eventually cause death when injected into normal mice. Such phenomena are not observed with homogenates of unburned skin.The toxic properties of burned mouse skin are apparently unrelated to bacterial factors and may be attributed to heat induced changes in components of normal skin.Preliminary studies on the isolation and characterization of the toxic material have been carried out. It is suggested that the toxic material contains protein and lipid components essential for its activity.

    Notes: The aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal tissue response adjacent to implant supported overdentures. Twenty edentulous patients had 2 Astra Dental Implants® placed in the canine region of the lower jaw. New overdentures were retained by individual ball attachments in 11 patients and by a bar attachment in 9 patients. Periodontal registrations were recorded 0 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months after the overdentures were inserted. One of the 40 fixtures was lost at the stage of abutment connection. No fixtures were lost during the 2- to 4-year observation period and no fixtures showed any periodontal signs of failure. At the 2-year examination, no pocket depths adjacent to the implants exceeded 4 mm and no bone loss exceeded 3 mm. The mean annual bone loss was less than 0.2 mm during the first 2 years. The preliminary results from this limited study were promising and showed that two osseointegrated Astra Dental Implants® could successfully retain an overdenture in the lower jaw. However, long-term observation is needed for a definate evaluation of this treatment concept.

    Notes: Abstract The York-Mason approach to the rectum with resection of the coccyx provides an excellent exposure for the treatment of large villous adenomas and low-risk rectal cancers. Morbidity related to this operation primarily arises as local infection (septic pelvis, fistulation), chronic coccygeal pain, and fecal incontinence. This is the first report to describe a pelvic floor herniation two years after a York-Mason approach to the rectum.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ein neues chronisches Hundemodell zur Resorptionsmessung am wachen Tier wird beschrieben. Ein portalvenöser sowie ein arterieller Katheter, eine Katheterjejunostomie und ein portalvenöser elektromagnetischer Strömungsaufnehmer werden implantiert. Während intrajejunaler Infusion kann damit die Resorption beliebiger Substrate beim nicht sedierten Tier als das Produkt von portoarterieller Konzentrationsdifferenz und portalvenösem Blutfluß bestimmt werden. Dieses Modell wurde bei fünf Tieren validisiert: 1. Katheter und Strömungsaufnehmer wurden derart modifiziert, daß sie über mehrere Monate funktionsfähig bleiben. 2. Die Empfindlichkeit der Resorptionsmessung wurde nach intrajejunaler Applikation des Dipeptides l-Glycin-l-Tyrosin untersucht. Bei Infusion von 4 mmol/h (20 mM Lösung, 200 ml/h) konnte eine portoarterielle Konzentrationsdifferenz und damit Resorption gemessen werden. 3. Die Infusion einer nährstoffdefinierten Diät führte zu einem raschen Anstieg des portalvenösen Blutflusses, während weder Kochsalz noch die genannte Peptidlösung einen entsprechenden Effekt hatten. 4. Nach sechswöchiger Implantation eines Strömungsaufnehmers wurde ein zweiter Aufnehmer leberfern des ersten in einem zuvor unberührten Abschnitt der Portalvene implantiert. Trotz histologisch eindeutiger narbiger Verdickung der Gefäß-wand unter dem chronischen Implantat gaben beide Aufnehmer gleiche Strömungssignale. Die beschriebene Methode gestattet daher erstmals quantitative Resorptionsmessungen durch Bestimmung von portalvenösen Erscheinensraten enteral infundierter Substrate.
    Notes: Summary Research in absorption physiology requires animal models which closely resemble the in vivo situation. The description of a new canine model satisfying these requirements is the objective of this report. Dogs were instrumented with indwelling portal vein and carotid artery catheters, a catheter jejunostomy and an electromagnetic flow measuring probe around the portal vein enabling continuous flow recordings. Following intrajejunal infusion of nutritive substrates in the conscious animal, absorption was measured as the product of porto-arterial substrate difference and portal venous flow. The model was validated in five mongrel dogs: (1) Catheters and flow measuring device function over several months. (2) The sensitivity of the method was evaluated following intrajejunal infusion of 1-glycine-l-tyrosine and its constituent amino acids. A significant portoarterial concentration difference of both amino acids enabling quantitative measurement of absorption resulted when the peptide was infused at 4 mmoles/hour (20 mM solution, 200 ml/h). (3) Infusion of complete nutritive formulas caused a significant increase in portal venous flow whereas neither saline nor the amino acids or the peptides investigated had a comparable effect. (4) A validation experiment by implantation of a second flow probe distal to the chronically implanted device provided evidence that granulomatous tissue forming around the probe does not alter the accuracy of the flow recording. In summary, this method permits for the first time quantitative measurement of absorption by appearance rates in portal venous blood instead of by disappearance from the intestinal lumen.

    Notes: Summary Combined surgical, radiotherapeutic, and sometimes chemotherapeutic treatment of early stages of operable mammary cancer results in 5-year survival without recurrence in a similar percentage of cases as modified radical mastectomy does. This is demonstrated with 1296 patients of two French and one American groups using comparable indication and therapeutic principles. No controlled studies of long-term results using these principles are thus far available. Preliminary results of a SwiB adjuvant polychemotherapy study after mastectomy show a significant favorable effect only in patients with negative axillary lymph nodes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In einer multizentrischen Studie mit acht beteiligten Zentren wurden 232 Empfänger von Leichennieren-Transplantaten nach dem Zufallsprinzip einer Behandlung mit Cyclosporin A (CyA-Gruppe: 117 Patienten) bzw. mit Azathioprin und Steroiden (Kontrollgruppe: 115 Patienten) zugewiesen. Nach einer Beobachtungsperiode zwischen 2 Wochen und 11 Monaten betrug die geschätzte Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit der Transplantate 73% in der CyA- und 53% in der Kontrollgruppe. Während der Therapie gab es zwei Todesfälle in der CyA- gegenüber sieben in der Kontrollgruppe. 82% der CyA-Patienten mit funktionsfähigen Transplantaten erhielten CyA allein, 17% wurden auf die herkömmliche Therapie umgestellt, und ein Patient erhielt Prednisolon zusätzlich zu CyA. Steroide haben nie 27% erhalten. Die Nierenfunktion 6 Monate nach der Transplantation war in der CyA-Gruppe ähnlich wie in der Azathioprin- und Steroid-Gruppe. Nach diesen vorläufigen Ergebnissen scheint CyA wirkungsvoller als die konventionelle Immunsuppression zu sein, wobei Langzeit-Steroid-Therapie vermieden werden kann.
    Notes: Summary In a multicentre trial conducted in eight European centres, 232 recipients of cadaveric renal allografts were randomly allocated to receive either cyclosporin A (CyA, 117 patients) or azathioprine and steroids (control, 115 patients) for immunosuppression. After a follow-up period of up to eleven months, graft survival probability estimates are 73% in the CyA group and 53% in the control group. Two deaths have occurred in the CyA group and seven in the control group. 82% of the CyA group with functioning grafts are receiving CyA alone, 17% have been changed to azathioprine and steroids and one patient is receiving prednisolone in addition to CyA; 27% have never received steroids. At six months post-transplant renal function is similar in patients receiving CyA and in those receiving azathioprine and steroids. On the basis of these preliminary results CyA appears to be more effective than conventional immunosuppression and avoids the necessity of longterm steroid therapy.

    Notes: Summary The actual survival rate of 25 primary cadaveric kidney grafts in recipients treated initially with cyclosporin A (CyA) alone was 84%. The survival rate in 37 patients under conventional immunosuppression was 76%. The mean number of dialyses required in the first 4 weeks after transplantation was 1.2 per patient in both groups. At 15–28 months posttransplant, mean serum creatinine levels have remained stable at 175 µmol/l in the CyA group. The mean daily dose of steroids (including methylprednisolone i.v.) in the first two months was 2.07 mg/kg/d in patients under conventional immunosuppression and 0.76 mg/kg/d in the patients receiving CyA (p〈0.001). The combination of CyA with low-dose steroids enabled the dose of CyA to be rapidly tapered off in once-weekly steps. CyA levels were monitored by determination of whole blood trough concentrations (target level: 300–800 ng/ml). At 60 days posttransplant the average dose of CyA was 6.0±0.5 mg/kg/d compared with an average daily dose of 11.4±0.9 as recommended for CyA alone in the protocol for the European multicentre study. This more rapid reduction in the CyA dose reduced nephrotoxicity (serum creatinine levels 174±14 as compared with 289±31 µmol/l) (p〈0.05) and almost halved the number of methylprednisolone pulses given up to the end of the second month. We conclude from these results (1) that previously the dosage of CyA administered at this centre was probably too high, and (2) early adjustment of dose levels on the basis of blood concentrations and with low-dose prednisone cover appears to be safe and effective, but requires further verification.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung. Die ischämische Präkonditionierung (IP) ist ein neues Konzept zur Verbesserung der Ischämietoleranz, welches bisher fast ausschließlich am Herzmuskel untersucht wurde. Unter IP versteht man eine schnelle Gewebereaktion auf einen oder mehrere kurze Zyklen alternierender Ischämie und Reperfusion, welche die Toleranz für eine kurz darauffolgende, längerdauernde Ischämie verbessert. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, daß die IP auch die postischämische Funktion der Skelettmuskulatur verbessern kann. Dazu wurde die Wirkung einer Muskelischämie bei präkonditionierten Ratten und einer nicht vorbehandelten Ischämiegruppe (je n = 12) verglichen. Die Präkonditionierung erfolgte am rechten Hinterlauf mit 3 Zyklen von je 10 min Tourniquet-Ischämie und 10 min Reperfusion. Es folgte in beiden Gruppen eine Tourniquet-Ischämie von 3 Std mit 2 stündiger Reperfusion. Im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe führte die IP postischämisch zu einer signifikanten Verbesserung der Kraft (240 ± 47 mN vs. 409 ± 63 mN), des Kraft-Zeit-Integrals (1081 ± 242 mN*s vs. 2546 ± 481 mN*s) und der Ausdauer (29,6 ± 3,4 s vs. 48,0 ± 5,0 s) der Skelettmuskulatur. Diese Daten weisen darauf hin, daß eine IP die Ischämietoleranz der Skelettmuskulatur bei Operationen in Blutsperre verbessern könnte.
    Notes: Summary. Ischemic preconditioning (IP), using one or more brief periods of ischemia, each followed by a short reperfusion phase, improves tolerance of subsequent sustained ischemia in different organs. The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the effects of IP on postischemic function in skeletal muscle. Right hindlimbs of anesthetized rats were pretreated with three cycles each of 10 min of ischemia and 10 min of reperfusion (n = 12). Non-preconditioned animals (n = 12) served as controls. These hindlimbs were then subjected to 3 h of ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion. IP resulted in a significant increase in postischemic skeletal muscle force (240 ± 47 mN vs 409 ± 63 mN), force-time integral (1081 ± 242 mN*s vs 2546 ± 481 mN*s) and endurance (29.6 ± 3.4 s vs 48.0 ± 5.0 s). These data support the potential of IP to reduce postischemic skeletal muscle damage in surgery of the extremities using tourniquet ischemia. The concept deserves clinical evaluation.
