ALTERATION OF CHOLESTEROL SULFATE IN HUMAN SERA DURING THE COURSE OF PREGNANCY

Objective To determine the concentrations of cholesterol sulfate ( CS) in human sera and pla-cental villi during the course of pregnancy. And to analyze its inhibitory activity on thrombin and further characterize the functional significance of CS. Methods The concentrations of CS were determined by thin-layer chromatog-raphy (TLC) on 60 cases of normal pregnant women and 30 cases of normal placental villi. The effect of CS in human sera on the activity of thrombin was analyzed. Results The concentrations of CS in human sera gradually increased from the first to third trimester of gestation with a correlation coefficient of 0. 69, and a correlation between the concentration of CS and weeks of gestation (P <0. 01). CS was also contained in the placental villi, and its concentrations at the second and third trimester of gestations were 4. 7 and 6. 2-fold of that at the first trimester of gestation. CS inhibited the activity of thrombin. Conclusion Placental CS is one of the sources of CS in the serum , pr     

Routine contralateral orchiopexy for children with a vanished testis.

AIM: The aim was to determine whether routine contralateral orchiopexy is justified in a child with a vanished testis from intrauterine torsion. METHODS: A retrospective study of thirty-one consecutive boys with a vanished testis who underwent contralateral orchiopexy with the sutureless technique over an eight-year (1995 - 2002 inclusive) period was carried out. Operative findings were analyzed. All patients have been followed to date and interviewed by telephone. RESULTS: Of the thirty-one patients, 22 had testicular abnormalities (71 %). Five patients (16 %) had abnormalities that could predispose them to metachronous torsion. These included bell clapper deformity (3), horizontal lie (1), and ectopic testis (1). Other abnormalities were abnormal epididymal-testicular fusion (2), hydrocele (2), and one testis did not show compensatory hypertrophy. CONCLUSIONS: Sixteen percent of patients had testicular abnormalities that could predispose them to metachronous torsion. There was no morbidity from the operation and no post-orchiopexy torsion on follow-up. Therefore, routine contralateral orchiopexy in a boy with a vanished testis appears to be safe and effective. A large multicenter trial should be done to investigate these preliminary findings. If confirmed, contralateral orchiopexy should be advocated.

Microsurgical repair after excision of large cancers. Apropos of 14 cases]

The specialty which has benefited the most from the rapid development of reconstructive microsurgery over the last decade, has been plastic surgery. In particular, the authors refer to reconstructive microsurgery after malignant tumor resection. Resections which used to cause serious psychological problems or which required multiple reconstructive procedures, can now be performed as a single stage procedure with good oncological, functional and aesthetic results. This experience concerns the treatment of 14 primary or recurrent malignant tumors of the skin and soft tissues using microsurgical techniques. The free latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap was the flap most commonly used. The authors also used the groin flap, the scapular flap, the tensor fasciae latae flap, the dorsalis pedis flap and finally the jejunum combined with the second metatarsus to reconstruct the mandible and the floor of the mouth. Complications consisted of complete necrosis of a dorsalis pedis flap and two revisions were performed for venous thrombosis. With a minimum follow-up of 5 years, one patient has developed a local recurrence and another has developed regional lymph node metastases. The functional and aesthetic results were quite satisfactory. The authors believe that microsurgery is a very valuable technique to treat difficult reconstructive problems.
