Study of the arterial vascularisation of the medial tibial condyle in the fetus

Summary Varus deformity of the knee is common in young children who have suffered from fulminating purpura. This study was directed at the anatomic features of the vascularisation of the upper end of the tibia that might account for such deformation. It was based on the dissection of 28 anatomic specimens prepared by injection of Indian ink into the vascular trunk. 16 specimens were diaphanised for better analysis of the intracartilaginous distribution of the vessels. The study showed that the vascularisation of the medial condyle of the tibia is poor and of terminal nature, which may explain the occurrence of ischemic growth disorders following fulminating purpura.

Etude de la vascularisation artérielle du condyle médial du tibia chez le foetus

Résumé Les déformations en varus du genou chez les jeunes enfants ayant présenté un purpura fulminans sont fréquentes. Ce travail a pour objet de rechercher les caractéristiques anatomiques de la vascularisation de l'extrémité supérieure du tibia qui peuvent expliquer ces déformations. L'étude porte sur la dissection de 28 pièces anatomiques préparées par injection de l'axe vasculaire à l'encre de Chine. Pour mieux analyser la répartition intra-cartilagineuse des vaisseaux, 16 pièces ont été diaphanisées. Cette étude montre que la vascularisation du condyle médial du tibia est pauvre, de type terminal, ce qui peut expliquer la survenue de troubles de croissance ischémiques dans les suites d'un purpura fulminans.

     

No evidence for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in asymptomatic normotensive type 2 diabetic patients: a case-control study with new echocardiographic techniques

OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether abnormalities of left ventricular structure and function could be detected in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients free of cardiovascular complications. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We compared 48 subjects with type 2 diabetes (34 men, 50+/-6 years) without hypertension, coronary artery disease and microangiopathic complications with 30 age-matched healthy controls. Left ventricular diastolic function was assessed by conventional Doppler echocardiography and new echocardiographic techniques (tissue Doppler imaging, color M-mode propagation velocity). A pseudonormal (PN) pattern of left ventricular filling was screened by several methods including Valsalva maneuver. RESULTS: Systolic function was normal in all patients. There was no significant difference in conventional and new echocardiographic Doppler indices of diastolic function between patients and control subjects. A PN diastolic function frequently suggested by the Valsalva maneuver (20 patients) was excluded using the new parameters. CONCLUSIONS: Diastolic dysfunction is not as frequent as previously described in selected patients with type 2 diabetes free of microangiopathic complications. New Doppler echocardiographic methods provide, in contrast with the Valsalva maneuver, a reliable estimate of diastolic function and should be incorporated in the non-invasive screening for diabetic cardiomyopathy.     

温血心停跳液与冷晶体心停跳液对狗心率变异性的影响

为探讨体外循环（ＣＰＢ）导致心脏植物神经系统（ＣＡＳ）损伤的机理,了解温血心停跳液能否防止ＣＰＢ后心率变异性（ＨＲＶ）的降低,采用对照方法观察了温血心停跳液与冷晶体心停跳液对狗ＨＲＶ的影响。结果显示：ＣＰＢ后温血心停跳液组（ＷＢ组）和冷晶体心停跳液组（ＣＣ组）的全频谱（ＴＰ）、低频（ＬＦ）和高频（ＨＦ）均较术前明显降低（Ｐ＜０．０５）,而且ＣＣ组比ＷＢ组降低更明显（Ｐ＜０．０５）,但ＬＦ／ＨＦ在组内及组间均无明显变化（Ｐ＞０．０５）。ＣＰＢ后２４小时平均心率（ＭＨＲ）明显增加（Ｐ＜０．０５）,且ＣＣ组高于ＷＢ组（Ｐ＜０．０５）。本研究表明：采用温血心停跳液或冷晶体心停跳液的ＣＰＢ不会干扰ＣＡＳ平衡,但均能使ＨＲＶ降低,温血心停跳液不能防止ＨＲＶ损害。     

Panniculitis in childhood and adolescence

Background: The purpose of the present paper was to describe the clinical manifestations and treatment of patients with panniculitis. Methods: From January 1983 to December 2002, 4294 patients were treated for pediatric rheumatological diseases at Pediatric Rheumatology Unit, University of São Paulo, Brazil. Of these, 35 children and adolescents (0.8%) presented with panniculitis: erythema nodosum (EN) or Weber–Christian disease (WCD). Clinical characteristics, laboratory exams, biopsy of the lesion, treatment and clinical course were studied. Results: Of the 35 patients, 29 presented with EN and six with WCD, one of these with cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis. Mean age at symptom onset was 85 months (6–204 months) and the mean duration of follow up was 55 months (1–144 months). All the patients presented with inflammatory subcutaneous nodules. The patients with WCD presented with systemic manifestations and cutaneous atrophy. The principal etiologies of EN were streptococcal infection (42%), undetermined (13.5%), pulmonary tuberculosis (10%), and acute rheumatic fever (10%). Biopsy of the nodules indicated septal panniculitis in 14 patients with EN and lobular panniculitis without vasculitis in the patients with WCD, one of which had cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis. There was recurrence in 11 patients (38%) with EN and in all those with WCD. Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs were used in 15 patients with EN and corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressive drugs in the six patients with WCD. Three patients died. Conclusions: EN is the most frequent panniculitis, with a benign course and is mainly associated with infections. WCD is a severe disease, with systemic involvement, that proceeds with cutaneous atrophy and requires the use of corticosteroids and or immunosuppressive drugs.     

Osteosarcoma: use of MR imaging and MR spectroscopy in clinical decision making

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed on 14 patients with histologically proved osteosarcoma (mean age, 14.4 years). There was excellent correlation of intramedullary tumor extent as determined with MR imaging and pathologic examination (r = 99%). This was facilitated by the presence of a chemical shift artifact at the tumor-marrow interface on the T1-weighted images. The correlation between CT and pathologic findings was not as good (r = 84%). In a single patient, however, a 10-cm length of sclerotic bone was incorrectly interpreted as being tumor. If this case is excluded, the correlation between CT and pathologic findings improves significantly (r = 96%). T2-weighted images were optimal in demonstrating soft-tissue bulk and breach of the epiphysis or cortex. Vascular involvement was also readily defined. The T2 value of the tumor soft-tissue component decreased in patients who were deemed to have responded well to therapy. Two patients with very high T2 values after chemotherapy developed wide-spread metastatic disease and died. Phosphorus-31 MR spectroscopy of five patients with osteosarcoma showed elevated levels of phosphomonoesters (PMEs), inorganic phosphate (Pi), and phosphodiesters (PDEs). PME and PDE peak areas decreased in three patients after chemotherapy, while Pi peak areas increased.
