Palatal insufficiency: a surgical technique for reconstruction.

Nasal regurgitation and hypernasality are the major complications after extirpation of the soft palate, retromolar trigone, and tonsillar areas. The surgical procedure described herein provides satisfactory correction of the defect. The combined approach of advancement-rotation palatoplasty and an advanced lateral pharyngeal wall flap appears to be an alternative solution to the use of an obturator or inferiorly based pharyngeal flap.

Persistent hoarseness after surgical removal of vocal cord lesions.

Surgical intervention to remove vocal cord lesions usually results in normal vocal cord quality postoperatively. However, some patients exhibit persistent hoarseness after surgery, and often they are referred to a speech pathologist for vocal rehabilitation. In this study, factors were identified in the case histories, surgical management, and behavior during voice rest of patients who experienced persistent hoarseness postoperatively. Eight of ten adult subjects were interviewed and their voices were tape-recorded before and after surgery and were determined to be hoarse postoperatively. Cumulative medical history was the only significant factor that related to persistent hoarseness. Medical histories of disease or infection affecting the respiratory tract were among the specific factors that were identified. Results indicate that patients with these medical factors should be counseled about the risk of persistent hoarseness after surgery.

Structure of mutagen nucleic acid complexes in solution. Proton chemical shifts in 9-aminoacridine complexes with dG-dC, dC-dG, and dA-dT-dG-dC-dA-dT.

The influence of self-complementary oligodeoxynucleotides on the chemical shifts of protons of the mutagenic acridine dye 9-aminoacridine has been measured. Upfield shifts indicative of intercalative binding are found in the cases of dG-dC, dC-dG, and dA-dT-dG-dC-dA-dT but not in dA-dT. Geometries for the complexes that are compatibile with the chemical-shift data and the X-ray structure of the complex between ri5C-rG and 9-aminoacridine determined by Sakore et al. [Sakore, T.D., Jain, S.C., Tsai, C., and Sobell, H.M. (1977), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 74, 188--192] can be identified using recent theoretical estimates of shifts induced by nucleotide bases.
