Tamoxifen use in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ and T1a/b N0 invasive carcinoma

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine how often patients with ductal carcinoma in situ and T1a/b N0 cancer are offered and accept tamoxifen for secondary chemoprevention. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective review of 284 patients with T1a/b N0 invasive cancer treated between February 1995 and December 2001 and 129 patients with DCIS treated after September 1998 was carried out. Patient and tumor characteristics associated with being offered and accepting tamoxifen were compared. RESULTS: Tamoxifen was offered to 67% of the invasive cancer patients and accepted by 76% (51% of the entire group). Hormone receptor status was the only significant predictor of being offered tamoxifen (p = 0.004). Older age (p = 0.04), Caucasian race (p = 0.01), and parity (p = 0.04) in premenopausal women were significant predictors of tamoxifen acceptance on univariate analysis. After the publication of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project P-1 trial, significantly more patients were offered tamoxifen (p = 0.02), but acceptance rates did not change. Tamoxifen was offered to 91% of the ductal carcinoma in situ patients and accepted by 73% (67% overall). Lumpectomy was associated with significantly higher rates of being offered (p = 0.02) and accepting tamoxifen (p = 0.002) on univariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Factors associated with tamoxifen risks and benefits correlate poorly with the use of the drug.

Effects of arginine-containing total parenteral nutrition on N balance and phagocytic activity in rats undergoing a partial gastrectomy

The present study investigated the effect of arginine (Arg)-containing parenteral nutrition on phagocytic activity to elucidate the possible roles of Arg in the secretion of anabolic hormones and N balance in rats undergoing gastrectomy. Rats were divided into two experimental groups and received total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The TPN solutions were isonitrogenous and identical in nutrient compositions except for differences in amino acid content. One group received conventional TPN, the other group replaced 2 % of the total energy as Arg. After receiving TPN for 3 d, one-third of the rats in each experimental group were killed as the baseline group. The remaining rats underwent a partial gastrectomy and were killed 1 or 3 d after surgery. The results showed that there were no differences in N balance, plasma growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 levels between the two groups before or after surgery. The phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages was higher in the Arg group than in the control group 1 d after surgery. There were no differences in the phagocytic activities of blood polymorphonuclear neutrophils between the two groups at various time points. TNF-alpha levels in peritoneal lavage fluid were lower in the Arg group than in the control group on post-operative day 3. These results suggest that parenterally infused Arg enhances phagocytic activity and reduces the production of inflammatory mediators at the site of injury. However, Arg supplementation did not influence the secretion of anabolic hormones nor N balance in rats with a partial gastrectomy.     

Hospital-based allogenic bone bank--10-year experience

Bone banking in a hospital provides resources of allogenic bone grafts. However, they may transmit infection from donor to recipient. We found few reports discussing the infection rate and monitoring processes associated with bone banks. The discard rate using the screening test was 18.5% (309/1674) in this series. The leading cause was hepatitis B antigen (HBsAg) positive donor serum (67%), followed by Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) positive donor serum (15%), and anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) positive donor serum (12%). The overall infection rate in the recipients was 1.3% (17/1365). Among 1353 implanted allografts, 22 cases (1.6%) had a positive swab culture result after thawing. Only four out of these 22 cases (18.2%) developed infection. However, the wound cultures of the infected recipients were different from the swab culture of thawing allografts except in one case. Among the 1331 recipients with sterile allograft bones, 13 (1%) were found to have infection. In conclusion, our bone bank operates under a strict monitoring system which results in a low infection rate. The recipient's status, the aseptic technique and environment during operation is likely to be more critical in prevention of allograft-related infection.     

Sutural distraction osteogenesis (SDO) versus osteotomy distraction osteogenesis (ODO) for midfacial advancement: a new technique and primary clinical report

A new technique of osteotomy distraction osteogenesis (ODO) and sutural distraction osteogenesis (SDO) by the use of bone-borne traction hooks is presented. The technique of osteotomy plus distraction osteogenesis is suitable for adult patients. The technique of sutural distraction osteogenesis is suitable for young patients, ages 6 through 12 years. The distraction system consists of a face-bow, orthodontic elastics, and bone-borne traction hooks. The bone-borne traction hooks are made of titanium, with two traction hooks running laterally or downwardly. When a Le Fort III osteotomy is needed, bone-borne traction hooks are inserted through the nostrils into a bone hole drilled at the lateral-inferior pyriform aperture. When no osteotomy is needed, only the bone-borne traction hooks are placed. Heavy elastics were used in the technique of osteotomy distraction osteogenesis for Le Fort III osteotomy adult patients, whereas light forces and thus light elastics were used for younger patients. Three adult patients and four children were treated by osteotomy distraction and sutural distraction, respectively. All seven patients with midfacial hypoplasia established a harmonious facial profile and normal occlusal relationships. Radiographic examination showed balanced advancement of the midfacial skeleton. It is suggested that the treatment of midfacial hypoplasia in children by the technique of sutural distraction osteogenesis is to be preferred because of its simplicity and relative noninvasiveness. Thus, the authors suggest that midfacial hypoplasia should be treated at a younger age by this technique, potentially eliminating the need for a Le Fort III osteotomy at an older age.     

The degrees to which transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy moves the region of osteonecrotic femoral head out of the weight-bearing area as evaluated by computer simulation

BACKGROUND: Transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy is a technical demanding procedure. Currently, the pre-operative planning of the transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy is mostly based on X-ray images. The surgeons would need to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of the femoral head and the necrosis in their mind. This study develops a simulation platform using computer models based on the computed tomography images of the femoral head to evaluate the degree to which transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy moves the region of osteonecrotic femoral head out of the weight-bearing area in stance and gait cycle conditions. Based on this simulation procedure, the surgeons would be better informed before the surgery and the indication can be carefully assessed. METHOD: A case with osteonecrosis involving 15% of the femoral head was recruited. Virtual models with the same size lesion but at different locations were devised. Computer models were created using SolidWorks 2000 CAD software. The area ratio of weight-bearing zone occupied by the necrotic lesion on two conditions, stance and gait cycle, were measured after surgery simulations. FINDINGS: For the specific case and virtual models devised in this study, computer simulation showed the following two findings: (1) The degrees needed to move the necrosis out of the weight-bearing zone in stance were less by anterior rotational osteotomy as compared to that of posterior rotational osteotomy. However, the necrotic region would still overlap with the weight-bearing area during gait cycle. (2) Because the degrees allowed for posterior rotation were less restricted than anterior rotation, posterior rotational osteotomies were often more effective to move the necrotic region out of the weight-bearing area during gait cycle. INTERPRETATION: The computer simulation platform by registering actual CT images is a useful tool to assess the direction and degrees needed for transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy. Although the results indicated that anterior rotational osteotomy was more effective to move the necrosis out of the weight-bearing zone in stance for models devised in this study, in circumstances where the necrotic region located at various locale, considering the limitation of anterior rotation inherited with the risk of vascular compromise, it might be more beneficial to perform posterior rotation osteotomy in taking account of gait cycle.
