Bleeding from gastric ulcer halted by laparoscopic suture ligation

In a 48-year-old Japanese man there was an uncontrollable and recurrent bleeding from a gastric ulcer and laparoscopic surgery was done. Two cannulae were placed in the gastric cavity through the abdominal wall and suture ligation of the bleeding vessel at the posterior wall of the stomach was done under videovisual control with endoscopic guidance. The bleeding ceased, complications were nil, and he remains well.This article reports on surgery done to repair uncontrollable, recurrent bleeding from a gastric ulcer. Two cannulae were placed in the gastric cavity through the abdominal wall and suture of the vessel at the posterior wall of the stomach was done with videovisual control and endoscopic guidance. This approach is concluded to have supplied minimal-access surgery, cost effectiveness, early discharge, less pain, and doctor-patient satisfaction.     

Laparoscopic radical cystectomy and bilateral ureteric ligation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer in a patient on hemodialysis

Laparoscopic cystectomy and bilateral ureteric ligation were performed on a 52-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis (HD) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Her volume of urine production was approximately 100 mL/day. Excisions of the bladder and uterus with ligation of the bilateral ureter were conducted completely laparoscopically. Total operative time was 280 min and the amount of blood loss was 60 mL. No complications were seen perioperatively and no adverse events regarding ureteric ligation arose. HD was performed on the second postoperative day. At a 12-month follow-up, the patient showed no evidence of disease.     

Cross talk in surface electromyograms of human hamstring muscles.

Signals generated from muscles other than the muscle(s) of interest (cross talk) can confound the interpretation of surface electromyograms (EMGs). In this study, the amount of cross talk in surface EMGs of human hamstring muscles was estimated using a protocol in which the quadriceps femoris was electrically stimulated via the femoral nerve. EMGs were recorded from the vastus lateralis and the medial and lateral hamstring muscle groups. The amplitude of the EMG response of the vastus lateralis to electrical stimulation was adjusted to match that of its maximum voluntary effort (MVE) under isometric conditions. Subsequent power density spectrum analysis showed that the median frequencies of the signals generated by electrical stimulation and MVE were not significantly different. In conventional bipolar recordings, cross talk in lateral hamstring EMGs averaged 17.1% MVE and in medial hamstring EMGs 11.3% MVE (average-rectified values). The double differential technique significantly reduced cross talk to 7.6% MVE for the lateral hamstrings, and to 4.2% MVE for the medial hamstrings. The double differential technique appears to be more selective than the bipolar technique when recording EMGs from muscles with highly active neighbors and thus should be used in such situations. Software simulations of the double differential technique also appear to be more selective than the bipolar technique and may be used when the number of amplifiers available is limited.     

Tau immunoreactivity and SDS solubility of two populations of paired helical filaments that differ in morphology

To further understand the processes that lead to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles from paired helical filaments (PHF) in Alzheimer brains, we studied two morphologically distinct fractions of PHF separated on sucrose density gradient. In a fraction with mostly short and non-aggregated PHF, the majority of filaments could be solubilized in SDS. In a fraction containing primarily PHF aggregated into clusters or bundles, sometimes resembling neurofibrillary tangles, filaments were less soluble in SDS. Immunogold labelling with a panel of tau-immunoreactive antibodies demonstrated that N-terminal epitopes of tau were preserved in the short filaments, but were reduced or absent in aggregated filaments. In contrast, C-terminal epitopes were present in both fractions. Furthermore, the accessibility of the microtubule-binding domain to immunolabelling was markedly impaired in short and non-aggregated filaments compared to aggregated filaments. These results are consistent with proteolytic degradation of the N-terminal epitopes and preservation of the C-terminal epitopes and the microtubule-binding domain of tau in the aggregated filaments. Partial proteolysis may be involved in the generation of aggregated PHF in neurofibrillary tangles.
