Experimental study of the effect on the liver of cortisol after diverting the adrenal venous circulation into the portal circulation

In order to evaluate the operation of the adrenal autotransplantation into omentum with arterio-venous anastomosis, the right adrenal of fifteen dogs was preliminarily removed and then the left adrenal vein was diverted into the portal circulation by micro surgical technique. Before and after the diversion, the serum cortisol taken from portal vein, hepatic vein, inferior vena cava and peripheral vein was analysed by radioimmunoassay. The dog's adrenal cortex, pituitary were removed for light and electron-microscopic examination. The experimental results demonstrate that the cortisol inactivation effect of the liver was not statistically different before and after the procedure (P greater than 0.05). Thus, we believe that the omentum which has obvious absorbability and revascularity is a reasonable site for adrenal transplantation. And we also found the adrenal cortex left appear slight hypotrophy and pituitary hypertrophy after the diversion. The cause however, requires further research.     

Local cerebral blood flow responses in rats to hypercapnia and hypoxia in the rostral ventrolateral medulla and in the cortex.

The effects of hypercapnia and hypoxia on two local cerebral blood flows in the parietal cortex (PC-BF) and rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM-BF) were examined using laser Doppler flowmetry in anesthetized rats. Hypercapnia for 45 s duration at the end-tidal CO2 between 5% and 10%, induced by increasing inspiratory CO2, increased both cerebral blood flows and systemic blood pressure in a degree-dependent manner. The response of RVLM-BF was significantly stronger than that of PC-BF. Both cerebral blood flow responses to hypercapnia were not influenced by cutting peripheral chemoreceptor afferent nerves. Hypoxia for 45 s duration at the end-tidal O2 between 12% and 6%, induced by decreasing inspiratory O2, produced an increase of similar magnitude in both RVLM and PC local blood flows in a degree-dependent manner and a decrease in systemic blood pressure. The responses of both PC-BF and RVLM-BF to hypoxia were significantly diminished after cutting peripheral chemoreceptor afferent nerves. It is concluded that: (1) the RVLM-BF is much more sensitive to hypercapnia than the PC-BF; and (2) activation of peripheral arterial chemoreceptors possibly contributes to hypoxia-induced increase in the RVLM-BF and PC-BF.

Aspergillus osteomyelitis of the thumb in a 5-year-old child

Aspergillus osteomyelitis is a rare condition and is a recognized infection of the immunosuppressed. The pediatric cases that were documented suggest that in children, chronic granulomatous disease is the major underlying disease [Tack et al.1982 73(2):295–300, Baez-Escudero et al. 2000 Case report—primary sternal Aspergillus osteomyelitis. Infect Med 17(7):505–516]. We report an interesting case of Aspergillus osteomyelitis of the thumb in a 5-year-old boy with aplastic anemia. The infection progressed despite a combination of antifungal therapy with Voriconazole and surgical debridement. The thumb was amputated and the child recovered. This case highlights the difficulty in diagnosing Aspergillus osteomyelitis and also the failure of conventional management in this child, which resulted in the amputation of the thumb as a life-saving measure. We believe this to be the first case report of Aspergillus osteomyelitis in the thumb.

The Influence of Intramammary Lipopolysaccharide Infusion on Serum Ca,P, Vitamin D,Cytokines and Cortisol Concentrations in Lactating Sows

Ten multiparous lactating sows were used to investigate whether intramammary infusion of lipopolysaccharides (LPS; Escherichia coli 0111:B4; 2.0 μg/kg of body weight) would affect the circulating concentrations of Ca, P, 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25‐OHD), tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and cortisol. The sows were randomly allotted to either control group (control) or LPS‐treated group with five individuals per group and were infused with either physiological saline solution or LPS solution. The rectal temperature and udder quarter appearance were recorded at 0 (just before infusion), 1, 3, 7, 12 or 24 h after infusion. Blood samples were taken at 0, 1, 3, 7, 12 or 24 h after infusion. Before infusion, the rectal temperatures of all sows were below 39.2°C. At 3 and 7 h after infusion, the sows in the LPS group had a rectal temperature over 39.4°C. At 24 h after infusion, the rectal temperatures returned to pre‐infusion levels. Serum Ca and P concentrations in the LPS group decreased (P < 0.05) after LPS infusion compared with the control group at 1 h after infusion. No significant differences (P > 0.05) in the concentrations of 25‐OHD were observed between groups control and LPS at any sampling time. Increased (P < 0.01) concentrations of serum TNF‐α, IL‐6 and cortisol were observed in the LPS group compared with the control group at 3 and 7 h after infusion respectively. In conclusion, the elevation of serum concentrations of TNF‐α, IL‐6 and cortisol and the alterations of circulating concentrations of Ca and P following LPS infusion indicate that the immune system has been activated and immune activation may affect macromineral homeostatic regulation, which might have important implications for metabolic health of lactating sows. Lowered serum Ca and P following immune activation also shows a causative mechanism whereby immune activation increases the risk of secondary disorders such as mastitis‐metritis‐agalactia syndrome. However, immune activation did not affect circulating concentrations of vitamin D metabolites.
