[Horizontal osteotomy of the body of the mandible with transfer of the inferior dental nerve].

By patient with developmental face asymmetry resulting from unilateral mandibular hyperplasia, irregular height of the mandibular body was strongly manifested on affected side. Since a large portion of inferior border of the mandible predicted to be cutted off contained almost the whole of the lower alveolar nerve, transfer of this last was employed. The nerve was surgically isolated along its course, and secured by being lifted while horizontal osteotomy of mandibular body was performed. Next the nerve was accommodated in new groove created in a safe distance from the roots of lower teeth. Postoperative healing was uneventful, but feeling in the region of lower lip was decreased during a few days immediately after surgery. Patient reexamined 18 months later demonstrated satisfactory esthetic and functional result with preserved feeling in the region supplied by the lower alveolar nerve.

Naloxone modulates gustatory perception, but not insulin and C-peptide release, in sham-fed human subjects.

In order to determine the role of the endogenous opiatergic system in modulation of human pancreatic B-cell function and taste perception, we measured the reactivity of gustatory receptors (electrogustometry), insulin and C-peptide serum concentration (radioimmunoassay) in six normal men (aged 24-26 years) during sham feeding and 0.8 mg of naloxone or placebo (saline) administration. We did not observe any differences in insulin and C-peptide concentrations during tease feeding independently of placebo or naloxone infusion. The verge of electric reactivity of gustatory perception significantly decreased in the period of food presentation and saline administration but did not change under naloxone. Our electrogustometry results support the hypothesis pointing out the role of endogenous opiates in modulation of human taste.

Prolactin and thyrotropin response to thyrotropin-releasing-hormone in adolescent females with insulin-treated diabetes mellitus.

Prolactin and thyrotropin response to TRH and basal gonadotropins levels in blood were investigated in insulin-treated adolescent females with regular menstruation cycles (Group I) and menstruation disturbances (Group II) compared with control, healthy girls. No significant differences were found in TSH secretion after TRH administration and basal LH, FSH levels between the observed groups. Blood basal PRL levels were significantly lower in young females in Group II, and a highly increased mobilization of PRL secretion (delta % PRL)--masked hyperprolactinaemia--in all of the groups of diabetic girls was revealed. Cytological examination of vaginal smears confirmed hypoestrogenic status of girls from Group II compared with Group I and the control group.
