Fracture of the patella treated by open reduction and external compressive skeletal fixation

Open reduction combined with external compressive skeletal fixation was used to treat twenty-seven patients who had a separated fracture of the patella. Fixation was obtained by the use of two compressive clamps applied to stainless-steel pins that were inserted just proximal and distal to the proximal and distal poles of the patella. Range-of-motion exercises for the knee were begun at two weeks and the pins were removed at three to four weeks. All of the fractures healed. Twenty-four patients regained a range of motion that was equal to that of the opposite knee. There was no evidence of chronic osteomyelitis. Osteoarthritis was noted in one patient who refused excision of a portion of the patella.

Gains of chromosomes 7, 17, 12, 16, and 20 and loss of Y occur early in the evolution of papillary renal cell neoplasia: a fluorescent in situ hybridization study.

It has been suggested that gains of chromosomes 7 and 17 and loss of Y occur in renal papillary adenoma and that progression to papillary renal cell carcinoma is marked by gains of additional chromosomes, most frequently 12, 16, and 20. Previous studies have included very few lesions of <5 mm in diameter, a requirement of the present definition of papillary adenoma. Ten papillary adenomas (ranging from 1 to 5 mm in diameter) from autopsy material and 10 surgically resected papillary renal cell carcinomas were studied with fluorescence in situ hybridization in paraffin sections using centromeric probes for chromosomes 7, 12, 16, 17, 20, and Y diluted 1:100 with tDenHyb1 buffer. The signals in 50 to 150 nuclei were counted in each tumor. Controls for all the probes were normal renal tissues from the same patients. Three or more signals per nucleus were frequently observed in papillary adenomas: chromosome 7 (range, 10 to 50%; > or = 30% in 9 of 10), 17 (range, 10 to 47%; > or = 30% in 7), 16 (range, 1 to 63%; > or = 10% in 5), 12 (range, 0 to 32%; > or =10% in 4), and 20 (range, 5 to 49%; > or = 10% in 5). Loss of the Y chromosome was observed in 80 to 90% of nuclei in 9 adenomas from males. Three or more signals were frequent in papillary renal cell carcinomas: chromosome 7 (range, 32 to 63%; > or =30% in 10 of 10), 17 (range, 28 to 61%; > or = 30% in 7), 16 (range, 0 to 45%; > or = 10% in 6), 12 (range, 1 to 37, > or = 10% in 5), 20 (range, 2 to 44%; > or = 10% in 4). No signal for Y was observed in 12 to 88% (> or = 81% in 6) of nuclei in 7 carcinomas from males. Statistical analysis showed no difference between adenomas and carcinomas. Gains of chromosomes 7, 17, 16, 12, and 20 and loss of the Y chromosome occur early in the evolution of papillary renal cell neoplasia in tumors that are only a few millimeters in diameter. Progressive gains of these chromosomes do not appear to correlate with the transition from adenoma to carcinoma.     

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in a patient with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired chronic hemolytic anemia associated with an unusual susceptibility to hemolytic crisis, infection, and venous thrombosis which would be aggravated by a number of factors including surgery. We report a case of PNH undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and discuss the corresponding perioperative management.     

Diagnosis and management of obstetric acute disseminated intravascular coagulation]

Twenty-seven in-patients with obstetric DIC in our hospital from Jan. 1971 to Dec. 1990 were analysed retrospectively. The incidence was 0.12% in the first decade and 0.02%, in the second, showing a difference of significance between them. The most common predisposing factors included amniotic fluid embolism, abruptio placenta and hemorrhagic shock. Bleeding from multi-organs in various extent and coagulation disorders occurred in all those 27 cases. [Besides anti-shock treatment, heparin was employed together with fibrinogen in 4 postpartum and 1 antepartum DIC patients, fibrinogen alone in 8 cases, and hysterectomy in 11 cases. 17 patients were saved and 9 died. It is important that early diagnosis and much attention paid to clinical characteristics together with serial laboratory tests. Key management should include prompt treatment and eradication of predisposing factors. Quick decision spite of to terminate the pregnancy and even hysterectomy should be done in some risks.     

严重烫伤对睾丸间质细胞影响的实验研究

采用大鼠３０％Ⅲ度烫伤模型，应用光镜、电镜、３β－羟甾脱氢酶（３β－ＨＳＤ）组织化学染色及其相对活性的测定和血清睾酮及黄体生成素（ＬＨ）浓度的检测，分不同时相对严重烫伤后３０天内大鼠睾丸间质细胞的改变进行了动态观察。结果表明，烫伤后睾丸间质细胞有不同程度的变性、坏死；间质细胞内３β－ＨＳＤ活性迅速降低，伤后３０天仍保持较低水平；血清睾酮水平迅速下降，并持续维持较低水平，伤后３０天仍不回升，而血清ＬＨ浓度无明显改变。提示烫伤后血清睾酮下降的机理可能与睾丸间质细胞的受损及糖皮质激素升高有关。     

Effect of ibopamine and the active metabolite epinine on the catecholamine content of rat hypothalamus and brainstem in vitro

The effect of ibopamine (IBO) (SB 7505, SK&F 100168-A), a new drug for the treatment of congestive heart failure, and its active metabolite epinine (EPN) (N-methyldopamine), on the catecholamine content of hypothalamus and brainstem was studied in vitro after monoamine oxidase inhibition with pargyline. IBO and EPN increased levels of epinephrine (EPI) in a concentration- and time-dependent manner in both brain areas without significantly affecting the concentration of other catecholamines. Inhibition of either dopamine beta-hydroxylase, the neuronal EPI and norepinephrine uptake system, or esterase hydrolysis of IBO prevented the increase of EPI, whereas inhibition of phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, enzymatic dealkylation or the neuronal dopamine or serotonin uptake system had no influence on the increase of EPI levels. These results suggest that IBO after hydrolysis to EPN can be converted enzymatically to EPI by dopamine beta-hydroxylase in hypothalamus and brainstem. EPN seems to be accumulated into adrenergic and noradrenergic neurons by the high affinity uptake system. Changes in the EPI content of the central nervous system neurons might be responsible for some of the pharmacologic effects of IBO.
