Mycetoma of the calf

 Actinomycetous infections typically involve either the head and neck or the extremities following a traumatic implantation. Classic clinical associations are draining sinus tracts. This case report describes the pathologic and MR findings of a relatively acute mycetomatous process involving the soft tissues. Pathologic findings in this case included an occasional granule composed of gram positive, thin branching elements. These and other findings were consistent with actinomycetes bacterium infection. The discussion centers around the use of MR, both with and without gadolinium, in evaluating this type of granulomatous infection. Infiltration of the adjacent subcutaneous tissues was easier to appreciate on both the T1-weighted images without gadolinium and the T1-weighted images with gadolinium when compared to the T2-weighted images. Signal characteristics as described in this case report may suggest a granulomatous process.

Electrical responses of the muscularis externa to distension of the isolated guinea-pig distal colon

Abstract Enteric reflex pathways were studied in isolated segments of guinea-pig distal colon by recording the electrical responses to distension from the muscularis externa with suction electrodes. The end of the electrode wire were in the circular muscle and thus the recordings discussed below are deduced to be primarily from this layer. Moreover, intracellular microelectrodes in circular muscle cells and suction electrodes recorded similar events. Spontaneous activity consisted of myogenic slow waves at about 25 min ^-1 and transient biphasic potentials at about 6 min^-1 and 3-sec duration which were dependent on a stimulus from the enteric nervous system as they were blocked by tetrodotoxin (0.5 μM), d-tubocurarine (30 μM) and hexa-methonium (100 μM). Atropine (0.8 μM) blocked the depolarizing part of the biphasic potentials and unmasked transient spontaneous inhibitory junction potentials (IJPs) (～2-sec duration) which appeared to be responsible for the hyperpolarizing part of the biphasic potential. Three different responses were observed at sites oral to distension of the colon: a transient depolarizing response that was cholinergic (blocked by atropine (0.8 μM); ascending cholinergic excitation) and, after atropine, a transient IJP (ascending inhibition) which was followed by a transient non-cholinergic depolarizaton (ascending non-cholinergic excitation) that was sometimes followed by several cycles of slow wave activity. The oral responses to anal distension were also blocked by the nicotinic antagonists and were similar to the neurogenic spontaneous events, which also appeared to originate from activity in ascending nervous pathways. Four different responses were observed following distension of the oral end of the segment: an IJP followed by a prolonged phase of hyperpolarization that lasted for the duration of the distension (descending inhibition); a burst of depolarizing potentials (for up to 30 sec) that followed the termination of distensions up to 25 sec and was blocked by atropine (0.8 μM) (delayed cholinergic excitation), and a transient non-cholinergic response that immediately followed the termination of distension (non-cholinergic ‘off’ response). Apamin (0.5 μM) reduced the amplitude of the spontaneous IJPs and evoked IJPs. After apamin, distension evoked a small transient hyperpolarization at oral sites, which was similar to spontaneous events, and the prolonged hyperpolarization at anal sites. A second distension given within 20 sec of the first evoked an IJP of reduced amplitude at oral sites in every preparation. In contrast, the amplitudes of the oral Cholinergic excitation and descending inhibition were relatively unaffected by reducing the interval between distensions. Thus distension stimulates excitatory and inhibitory motor neurons supplying the circular muscle both oral and anal to the stimulus. The polarity of the reflex relies in part on the differences in timing and duration of responses as well as the transmission characteristics of the nervous pathways.

Most cases of anal abscess are caused by anal fistula and invasion of the surrounding tissues by a mixed colonic flora. Treatment consists of excision of the abscess and, in case of fistula, fistulectomy. Primary anorectal and perianal forms of actinomycosis are very rare and caused by actinomyces, as ubiquitous anaerobics bacterium. We report a case of perianal actinomycosis. The patient had a short history of painless perineal induration without fever and leukocytosis with normal results at routine blood examination. After excision, sulfur granules drained from the cavity and pathological investigations indicated perianal actinomycosis. Appropriate surgery and antibiotic treatment healed the perianal infection. After exclusion of possible diagnoses such as Crohn’s disease, tuberculosis and malignant growths, the rare case of perianal actinomycosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of painless perianal masses.     

Analysis of factors that determine the compliance of rat jejunum to distension in vivo

Distension of the intestine is commonly used to elicit reflex responses at other sites in the gastrointestinal tract, and also to evaluate pain of intestinal origin. The sensory neurones, that initiate the reflexes or pain responses, react to the forces generated in the wall of the intestine. Thus, the responses of the intestine at the site of distension, particularly changes in contractile activity, influence the signals from the gut. In the present work we have analysed the relationship between distension and pressure changes in the jejunum of the rat, in vivo. Isovolumic distension for 5 min caused an initial pressure increase which declined quickly in the first 30 s, and then declined more slowly. Phasic pressure increases were superimposed on the baseline pressure change. Hexamethonium blocked the phasic pressure increases, whereas the initial rapid and subsequent slower pressure decline during distension persisted. Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) increased intraluminal pressure and caused increased frequency and irregularity of phasic pressure increases. However, the decline in jejunal pressure during distension was not changed by inhibition of NOS. The pressure decline during isovolumic distension was similar whether saline or paraffin oil were used to distend the intestine, indicating that the decline was not due to increased hydrostatic pressure causing water and electrolyte to cross the mucosal epithelium from the lumen to the intestinal interstitium. Hyoscine had no significant effect on the pressure profile when the intestine was distended. However, when the systemic or the local circulation of the jejunum was infused with nicardipine, the pressure that was achieved during isovolumic distension was less, although the rate of change in pressure during the slow decline was similar. It is concluded that distension evokes phasic pressure increases in the jejunum, that are nerve-mediated, and increases the tension in the wall through a stretch-activated increase in contractile force generated by the circular muscle. The decline in pressure during maintained distension is primarily a consequence of visco-elastic properties of the wall of the intestine.
