Lateral position prevents respiratory occlusion during surgical procedure under general anesthesia in the patient of huge anterior mediastinal lymphoblastic lymphoma

Lymphoblastic lymphoma, an aggressive mediastinal mass, is recognized as serious threat to the patient in developing cardiac tamponade or airway obstruction. Surgical procedure is often required to relieve clinical emergency and to establish prompt pathological diagnosis. However, in such a patient, acute respiratory occlusion in the spine position can be a life-threatening complication during general anesthesia. We describe a 17-year-old man whose cardiac tamponade was treated by pericardial-pleural window through a left anterior thoracotomy in the lateral position. The patient recovered from hemodynamic compromise without showing respiratory occlusion during general anesthesia and remained in the lateral position until extubation. Pathological diagnosis was precursor T-lymphoblastic lymphoma. There were no complications attributable to the operative procedure. Further chemotherapy reduced the mediastinal mass in size after two weeks when the patient developed sepsis and died. Lateral position prevents respiratory occlusion during surgical procedure under general anesthesia in the patient of huge anterior mediastinal tumor with airway obstruction.

Central fat predicts deterioration of insulin secretion index and fasting glycaemia: 6-year follow-up of subjects at varying risk of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

AIMS: To examine the relationships between body composition and changes in fasting glycaemia, and in indices of insulin secretion and insulin action over 6 years in females with a family history of Type 2 diabetes with or without prior gestational diabetes ('at risk' group, AR) and control females (control group, C). METHODS: At baseline and at follow-up, an oral glucose tolerance test and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry assessment of body composition were performed. Indices of insulin resistance (HOMA R') and insulin secretion (HOMA beta') were obtained from fasting insulin and glucose concentrations. RESULTS: At baseline, the groups were similar for age, body mass index, fasting levels of plasma glucose and insulin, HOMA R' and HOMA beta'. Despite similar total body fatness, AR had significantly greater waist circumference and central fat (both P < 0.02) compared with C. At follow-up there was a significant increase in central adiposity only in AR, and the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level was higher in AR compared with C (5.0 +/- 0.2 vs. 4.3 +/- 0.2 mmol/l, P = 0.02). This rise in plasma glucose in AR was related to a decline in HOMA beta' (r = 0.45, P = 0.0065). Both the baseline and the increments in total and central abdominal fat mass were associated with the time-related decline in HOMA beta'. CONCLUSIONS: Six years after initial assessment, AR showed deterioration in FPG levels due predominantly to a decline in insulin secretion index without major change in insulin resistance index. Importantly, baseline body fatness (especially central adiposity), as well as increases in fatness with time, were the major predictors of the subsequent decline of insulin secretion index and the consequent rise in FPG.     

Locally aggressive central odontogenic fibroma associated to an inflammatory cyst: a clinical, histological and immunohistochemical study

The case describes a 38-year-old woman presenting a multilocular radiolucency affecting the entire right half of the lower jaw, with an unerupted third molar displaced to the region of the coronoid process. The histological study showed the presence of fibroblasts, focally with pleomorphic nuclei, dense collagen and an odontogenic epithelium with dystrophic calcifications. A cyst with an important inflammatory infiltrate was, moreover, observed.     

Ultrastructural identification and localization of climbing fiber terminals in the fastigial nucleus of the cat

Following injections of 3H-leucine and 35S-methionine in the caudal half of the medial accessory olive, labeled climbing fibers were found contralateral to the injection site in the sagittal A-zone of the cerebellar vermis and in the fastigial nucleus. Labeling in the fastigial nucleus was analyzed with ultrastructural autoradiography. Labeled boutons of climbing fibers were found in the neuropil but never on somata. They contain spherical vesicles and occasionally some dense core vesicles in an electron-lucent matrix. The terminals of climbing fiber collaterals in the fastigial nucleus resemble climbing fiber terminals in the molecular layer with respect to their internal ultrastructural characteristics.     

Peptidergic neurons in the snail Helix pomatia: Distribution of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems that react with an Antibody raised to the insect neuropeptide,leucokinin I

In this study, antiserum raised against an insect myotropic peptide, leucokinin I (DPAFNSWGamide), was: used for mapping leucokinin-like immunoreactive (LK-LI) neurons in the gastropod mollusc, Helix pomatia. Immunocytochemistry performed on both whole-mounts and cryostat sections demonstrated LK-LI neurons in all ganglia of the central nervous system (CNS), except the visceral ganglion. Altogether about 700 immunolabelled neurons have been found, with nearly one-half (46%) in the cerebral ganglia. A large proportion of the LK-LI neurons have small cell bodies and are likely to be interneurons. The most prominent LK-LI cell group is represented by the entire neuron population of the mesocerebri, which is the major source of a thick fiber bundle system, encircling and innervating the whole CNS. One single LK-LI giant neuron was found, which is located in the left pedal ganglion and is termed GLPdLKC (giant left pedal leucokinin immunoreactive cell). This cell has not been identified previously. The ganglion neuropils are heavily innervated by varicose LK-LI fiber arborizations. Some integrative centers, such as the medullary neuropil of the procerebri, reveal an extreme density of LK-LI innervation. All major peripheral nerves contain a large number of LK-LI axons, and LK-LI innervation is found in the musculature of different peripheral organs (buccal mass, lip, tentacles, oviduct, intestine). Among the peripheral organs investigated, the intestine contains a rich varicose LK-LI network, composed of both intrinsic and extrinsic elements. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) demonstrates a very high content of LK-LI material in Helix ganglion extracts (about 50 pmol/CNS). This is the first report on the occurrence of a substance resembling the myotropic neuropeptide leucokinin I in a phylum outside arthropods. Based on our immunocytochemical observations, a role for leucokinin-like peptides in both central and peripheral regulatory processes in Helix is suggested. According to double-labelling experiments, only a small number of the LK-LI neurons are labelled with an antibody to the vertebrate tachykinin substance P.     

K~+ Channels and Their Effects on Membrane Potential in Rat Bronchial Smooth Muscle Cells

In order to investigate the K~+ channels and their effects on resting membrane potential(Em) and excitability in rat bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs), the components of outward K~+channel currents and the effects of K~+ channels on Em and tension in rat bronchial smooth musclewere observed by using standard whole-cell recording of patch clamp and isometric tension recordingtechniques. The results showed that under resting conditions, total outward K~+ channel currents infreshly isolated BSMCs were unaffected by ATP-sensitive K~+ channel blocker. There were two typesof K~+ currents: voltage-dependent delayed rectifier K~+ channel (Kv) and large conductance calcium-activated K~+ channel (BK_(Ca)) currents. 1 mmol/L 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, an inhibitor of Kv)caused a significant depolarization (from — 8.7±5.9mV to —25.4±3.1mV, n=18, P<0.001).In contrast, 1 mmol/L tetraethylammonium (TEA, an inhibitor of BK_(Ca)) had no significant effect onEm (from —37.6±4.8 mV to —36.8±4.1 mV, n=12, P>0.05). 4
