Primary gastrointestinal lymphomas in Turkey: a retrospective analysis of clinical features and results of treatment.

Thirty-three patients with primary gastrointestinal lymphoma (GIL) followed at Ankara University Medical School have been evaluated. The most frequent locations of the disease are the small intestine (48.4%) and the stomach (39.3%). The intermediate and high grade lymphomas constitute 84.8% of the cases. The mean age of the patients with small intestinal lymphoma is 28.7 years and 47.1 years for those with gastric lymphoma. The patients treated with surgery and chemotherapy (S+CT) have a longer survival than those treated with chemotherapy (CT) alone. In conclusion: 1) Small intestinal lymphoma occurs more frequently than gastric lymphoma in our study. 2) The median age of the Turkish patients with primary GIL is approximately 10 years less than those in the Western countries. 3) The therapeutic results of S+CT are superior to those of CT in the early stages of the disease.

Localized proton spectroscopy of inoperable brain gliomas. Response to radiation therapy

Within vivo 1H-MRS resonances of several metabolites were simultaneously measured in cerebral gliomas and adjacent normal brain. 15 patients with inoperable brain gliomas all histologically verified were monitored with 1H-MRS and MRI before and after radiotherapy. 11 patients were evaluable. 1H-MRS technique evolved from single volume measurements to one dimensional and two dimensional 1H spectroscopic imaging. In all patients N-acetyl-aspartate signals were decreased in tumour areas compared to the normal brain hemisphere. No recovery was seen after radiotherapy. Choline signals were increased in tumour margins of high grade gliomas and more diffusely in low grade gliomas. In 5 patients the choline resonance decreased after radiotherapy, accompanied by a shrinkage of tumour diameter on MRI. Lactate signals were present in high grade and unspecified astrocytomas and absent in most low grade gliomas. In 3 patients the lactate signal disappeared after radiotherapy. These observations indicate the feasibility of 1H-MRS in monitoring metabolic responses on radiotherapy of brain gliomas.     

Comparison of Tympanic, Esophageal and Blood Temperatures during Mild Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Study using an Infrared Emission Detection Tympanic Thermometer

Objective. Tympanic temperature can be obtained instantaneously using an infrared emission detection (IRED) thermometer. Its accuracy has been documented in a variety of clinical settings, but its performance at low body temperatures is still unknown. In this study we evaluated its performance during coronary artery revascularization surgery in which mild hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was used. Methods. Thirty adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery were enrolled in the study. Tympanic temperature obtained using IRED thermometry (Tt1) was compared with core temperatures from the esophagus (Te), and venous blood of CPB (Tv) before, during, and after CPB. We also measured tympanic temperature using a thermocouple probe (Tt2) in 16 of the 30 patients in order to study the agreement between the two methods. Values for correlation coefficients and limits of agreement were computed to assess the degree of agreement among the temperatures obtained. Results. The highest agreement with Tv during CPB was obtained from Tt1 (r = 0.94, 0.41 ± 1.73, limits of agreement) and from Te (0.91, 0.36 ± 2.46). Tt1 also showed good agreement with Tt2 during surgery. Conclusions. Infrared tympanic thermometry is a reliable, alternative method to measure tympanic temperature and may be useful to assess core temperature in both normothermic and mild hypothermic conditions.     

硒对辐射所致过氧化脂质含量及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性的影响

以肝、脾组织中过氧化脂质(LPO)含量及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSHL-Px)活性为指标探讨硒的辐射防护效应。实验结果表明:BALB/C纯系雄性小鼠经3Gy ~(60)Co γ射线照射后3天,肝、脾组织LPO生成量比未照射者均显著增多,而GSH-Px活性却都显著降低;但于照射前连续7天每日经口灌胃亚硒酸钠溶液0.2ml(含硒12.5μg)的实验组动物,肝、脾组织LPO含量均明显少于照射对照组,而GSH-Px活性都显著高于照射对照组,结果提示,通过降低LPO含量和增加GSH-Px活性,硒对小鼠可能有辐射防护作用。     

全身(全淋巴)照射后100例医源性急性放射病的临床分析

Central cardiovascular and oxygen variables during haemorrhage in the pig

Background: We evaluated the ability of the standards issued by the Danish Society of Anaesthesiologists to reflect a blood loss.
Methods: In 9 pigs bled (0–24 ml kg^-1) and retransfused (to 28 ml kg^-1) during halothane anaesthesia, central cardiovascular, thoracic electrical impedance (TI), oxygen, acid-base and temperature variables were recorded.
Results: With the recommendation for minor surgery (mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR)), the correlation to the blood loss was 0.74 ( P < 0.001) and with that for major surgery (MAP, HR, central venous pressure (CVP) and rectal temperature (Temp_r)) it was 0.79 ( P < 0.001). With the recommendation for extensive surgery (MAP, HR, CVP, pulmonary artery catheter variables and the central-peripheral temperature difference (ΔTemp_r-t)), the correlation was 0.84 ( P < 0.001). Non-invasive monitoring (MAP, HR, ΔTemp_r-t TI and near-infrared spectroscopy of the brain (S_invosO₂)) was only slightly better than basal monitoring (r=0.76, P < 0.001). However, adding arterial base excess (BE), TI and peripheral temperature (Temp_t) to the recommendation for major surgery resulted in a correlation of 0.87 ( P < 0.001), while adding BE and TI to the recommendation for extensive surgery raised correlation to only 0.88 ( P < 0.001).
Conclusion: When the recommendations were followed the correlation to the blood loss ranged from 0.74–0.84. However, with the recording of MAP, HR, CVP, ΔTemp_r-t, BE and TI a correlation of 0.87 was achieved, indicating that a pulmonary artery catheter may not be in need for patients undergoing surgical procedures with expected haemorrhage.
