Infratentorial approach to internal acoustic meatus

Surgical exposure of internal acoustic meatus via typical suboccipital retrosigmoid craniotomy is limited by inner ear structures that should remain intact if hearing preservation is attempted. Feasibility of supracerebellar-infratentorial approach to the meatus with more medial angle of exposure and with preservation of inner ear structures was studied on fresh cadavers and on computed tomography pictures of temporal bones. Anatomical relationships of internal acoustic meatus and adjacent structures show marked individual variability. When typical retrosigmoid craniotomy is used to expose meatal fundus, significant medial retraction of cerebellar hemisphere is required in 47% of the patients to avoid opening endolymphatic spaces. Internal acoustic foramen and meatus can be exposed via craniotomy situated under transverse sinus, with 10-15 mm downward retraction of cerebellum. Medial extent of craniotomy can be planned on preoperative imaging studies. Infratentorial supracerebellar exposure of internal acoustic meatus allows for more medial angle of surgical approach than standard retrosigmold craniotomy. It can be used when preoperative imaging studies show that anatomical relationships between internal acoustic meatus and inner ear structures would require excessive cerebellar retraction to visualize a whole tumor inside meatus.     

Incidence of apnoea and bradycardia in preterm infants following DTPw and Hib immunization: A prospective study

Objective: To evaluate the incidence and severity of apnoea and bradycardia in hospitalized preterm infants following immunization at 2 months of age, and identify risk factors.
Methodology: A prospective study of 98 preterm infants, of gestational age 24–31 weeks, immunized at approximately 2 months post natal age with diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis vaccine (DTP_w) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at King George V Hospital Sydney. Half the infants also received Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine (Hib) simultaneously. All infants were monitored for apnoea and bradycardia in the 24 h periods pre- and post immunization.
Results: Only one infant had apnoea and/or bradycardia pre-immunization compared with 17 post immunization. For 12 infants these events were brief, self-limiting and not associated with desaturations (oxygen saturation <90%). However, for five infants (30%) these events were associated with oxygen desaturation and two of these infants required supplemental oxygen. The group that had apnoea and/or bradycardia and the group that did not were not significantly different in terms of gestational age, birth weight and other variables. Infants who received Hib together with DTP_w were less likely to have apnoea and/or bradycardia than those given DTP_w alone.
Conclusion: When considering immunization for preterm infants, the benefits of early immunization must be balanced against the risk of apnoea and bradycardia. We recommend that the cardio-respiratory function of hospitalized infants born at less than 31 weeks gestation be monitored for 48 h post immunization.     

Expression of BAG-1 and BcL-2 Proteins Before and After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy of Locally Advanced Breast Cancer

It has been suggested that expression of anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 or BAG-1 may confer cellular resistance to chemotherapy. A corollary of this hypothesis is that expression of these proteins may predict clinical response to treatment and that Bcl-2- or BAG-1-positive cells may selectively be enriched in postchemotherapy tissue specimens. The goal of this exploratory pilot study was to assess these two predictions by using immunohistochemistry in 29 paired pre- and postchemotherapy breast tissue specimens obtained from patients who underwent preoperative doxorubicin-based chemotherapy. All breast cancers expressed BAG-1 protein, and, in individual tumors, 40-100% of neoplastic cells stained positive for this protein. Homogenous cytoplasmic staining was typically observed, though neoplastic cells also showed nuclear staining in many specimens. We found no correlation between prechemotherapy expression of BAG-1 and subsequent pathological response to cytotoxic therapy. Paired pre- and posttreatment specimens showed similar levels of BAG-1 expression when residual tumor could be assessed. Bcl-2 was expressed in 55% of cancers and was localized to the cytoplasm. Absence of Bcl-2 expression in prechemotherapy specimens was associated with more frequent complete pathological response (58% vs. 20%; p = 0.04). However, similar to BAG-1, no difference between pre- and posttherapy expression of Bcl-2 was observed in neoplastic cells in paired tissue specimens. These observations suggest that BAG-1 contributes an important cellular function to breast epithelial cells, which is reflected by its ubiquitous expression in these tissues. However, it does not appear to determine response to doxorubicin-based chemotherapy. In contrast, lack of Bcl-2 expression was associated with a higher probability of complete pathological response to doxorubicin-based chemotherapy.     

Effects of environmental estrogens on tumor necrosis factor alpha-mediated apoptosis in MCF-7 cells.

Environmental estrogens represent a class of compounds which have been shown to mimic the effects or activity of the naturally occurring ovarian hormone 17beta-estradiol. Given the role of 17beta-estradiol in cell survival in a number of systems, we wished to determine if environmental estrogens protect MCF-7 cells from apoptosis. Here we demonstrate that the organochlorine pesticides o, p' DDT and alachlor, like 17beta-estradiol, have the ability to suppress tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)-induced apoptosis in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells. These compounds, however, did not affect TNF-induced apoptosis of the ER-negative MDA-MB-231 cell line. The ability of these compounds to suppress apoptosis in MCF-7 cells was correlated with an ER-dependent increase in Bcl-2 expression. Taken together these results demonstrate that estrogenic organochlorine pesticides like o, p' DDT and alachlor may partially mimic the primary endogenous estrogen, 17beta-estradiol, and function to suppress apoptosis in ER-responsive cells.     

Analysis of the Impact of Acoustic Vibrations on the Laser Beam Remelting Process

The article contains an analysis of selected aspects of the structure and properties of laser remelting of low carbon steel supported by acoustic vibrations obtained in the research presented in (A Novel Method of Supporting the Laser Welding Process with Mechanical Acoustic Vibrations). Due to the assumptions made in this publication, it was necessary to deepen the analysis of the obtained results. The correlation of such factors on the structure as the frequency of vibrations (50, 100, 1385 Hz), their propagation through the short-lived liquid phase and changes in the structure, chemical composition, and hardness of the characteristic zones of the obtained remelting was considered. The remelting obtained with the participation of resonant acoustic vibrations with a frequency of 1385 Hz was subjected to thermo-mechanical analysis. A characteristic “bandwidth” pattern was revealed in the structure. In the present article, a thermo-mechanical analysis of the cause of its formation was carried out by comparing it with the remelting obtained at lower frequencies. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the band structure was characterized by 7 to 8 areas up to approximately a 90 µm depth, which showed dark and light zones. These areas differed in carbon content, hardness, and width. The analysis of vibration propagation helped to determine that in the time of crystallization of the molten metal pool, the transition of the vibration wave lasted through 7–8 minima and maxima. This fact allows us to assume with a high probability that it is the result of the applied resonance frequency.     

Effects of Early versus Standard Central Line Removal on the Growth of Preterm Infants with Very Low Birth Weight: A Non-Inferiority,Randomized Clinical Trial

Very preterm infants are usually supported by parenteral nutrition delivered through central lines (CLs) while progressing with enteral intake, although the optimal time point for their removal is unclear. This study evaluated the impact of the CL discontinuation time on the short-term growth outcomes of preterm infants. A non-inferiority, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial was conducted in four neonatal intensive care units in Poland. Preterm infants with very low birth weight (VLBW) without congenital abnormalities were eligible. Patients were allocated to discontinue central access at an enteral feeding volume of 100 mL/kg/day (intervention group) or 140 mL/kg/day (control group). The study’s primary outcome was weight at 36 weeks’ postmenstrual age, with a non-inferiority margin of −210 g. Overall, 211 patients were allocated to the intervention or control groups between January 2019 and February 2021, of which 101 and 100 were eligible for intention-to-treat analysis, respectively. The mean weight was 2232 g and 2200 g at 36 weeks’ postmenstrual age in the intervention and control groups, respectively. The mean between-group difference was 32 g (95% confidence interval, −68 to 132; p = 0.531), which did not cross the specified margin of non-inferiority. No intervention-related adverse events were observed. Early CL removal was non-inferior to the standard type for short-term growth outcomes in VLBW infants.
