Adenoid cystic carcinoma: DNA as a prognostic indicator

A retrospective study was performed on 20 patients with adenoid cystic carcinomas of major salivary glands to see if DNA. patterns correlated with their prognoses. Fourteen tumors were found to be DNA. diploid; 6 were DNA aneuploid. Histologically, all DNA-aneu-ploid tumors had solid components, compared with only 5 of the DNA-diploid tumors. All of the DNA-aneuploid tumors recurred, in contrast to only 2 of the DNA-diploid tumors; the difference was highly significant (P<0.001). All of the patients with no recurrences had DNA-diploid tumors. In our study, DNA measurements of adenoid cystic carcinomas gave statistically significant information about prognosis and correlated to histological grading. We propose that evaluation of DNA content may be performed before planning the treatment of adenoid cystic carcinomas.

The postoperative recurrence of crohn's disease: An analysis of 37 patients with crohn's disease who underwent endoscopy during initial surgery

A total 37 patients with Crohn's disease who underwent intraoperative endoscopy during resection of the affected intestine were evaluated in this study. The average age of the patients at surgery was 23.2 years. The residual lesions in the remaining intestine identified by intraoperative endoscopy were classified according to their pathologic profiles into three groups: A, B and C. In group A, comprising patients with longitudinal ulcers and/or a cobblestone appearance, 10 of 12 patients had recurrence. In 5 of these 10, the residual lesions were exacerbated and 2 required a further operation. The remaining 5 patients showed recurrence at the site of previous anastomosis and 2 of these 5 required additional surgery.In group B, comprising patients with small ulcers, aphthoid ulcers, or scars, and group C, comprising patients with no residual lesions, recurrence was observed in 13 of 16, and 3 of 9 patients, respectively. The recurrent lesions were all found proximal to, or at the site of previous anastomosis. Additional operations were performed on 3 of the group B patients. The findings of this study revealed that recurrence requiring additional surgery is more frequent at the site of anastomosis, regardless of the endoscopic appearance of the residual lesions.

Assessment of exposure to arsenic among smelter workers: A five-year follow-up

In a group of 43 smelter workers exposed to inorganic arsenic dust for 13-45 years, nerve conduction velocities (NCVs) were significantly lower in two peripheral nerves as compared with matching referents. With multivariate data analysis, a significant negative correlation was found between cumulative absorption of arsenic and NCV in four examined nerves and the sural amplitude. Clinical symptoms of neuropathy and other symptoms related to arsenic exposure were moderate, though the difference between the groups was significant. The mean total absorption of arsenic was calculated to be less than 5 g, and the maximal absorption about 20 g. These data indicate that the adverse effect of arsenic on the peripheral nerves is dependent on long-term exposure rather than on short-term fluctuations in exposure levels. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

胸主动脉夹层动脉瘤腔内隔绝术手术入路的探讨

目的 探讨为胸主动脉夹层动脉瘤(TAD)行腔内隔绝术(EVE)选择合适的导入动脉。方法 以彩超，CTA或MRA为检查手段，评估导入动脉(股动脉、髂总动脉、腹主动脉下段等)的直径大小(≥8mm)、有否硬化斑块、狭窄、是否被夹层累及、有否扭曲及其程度，从而选择具体的手术入路。结果 本组37例TAD行EVE术所选择经股动脉手术入路23例、经髂总动脉手术入路14例。未选择经腹主动脉下段手术入路。即时操作成功率为100％。结论 合理的选择导入动脉作为手术入路，是EVE手术治疗TAD顺利完成的要点。     

主动吸入药物烟对大鼠一氧化氮的影响

目的　探讨主动吸入药物烟对大鼠NO的影响。方法　制备大鼠主动吸烟模型 ,采用硝酸还原酶法测定各组大鼠血清、肺、心肌及脑组织的NO含量。结果　非药物烟组大鼠血清、肺、心肌及脑组织中NO含量明显低于非给烟对照组 ,药物烟高、中剂量组NO含量明显高于非药物烟组 ,接近非给烟对照组。结论　吸烟对大鼠血液、肺、心肌及脑组织有不同程度的损伤作用 ,使NO含量降低 ;药物烟具有一定的保护和防止NO含量降低的作用。
