A comparative synthesis of the [DTrp6] LH-RH analog by the UNCA method in solution and by solid phase.
[DTrp6] LH-RH was prepared using urethane-protected alpha-amino and N-carboxyanhydrides (UNCAs) both in solution and by solid-phase methodologies. The yields and purities of the crude materials in both cases were high, as indicated by HPLC. The structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, FAB mass spectrometry and found to be identical to an authentic sample. Both synthetic samples were analytically pure by capillary zone electrophoresis.

A comparison of laparoscopic and open appendectomy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To compare laparoscopic appendectomy with traditional open appendectomy. METHODS: Seventy-one patients requiring operative intervention for suspected acute appendicitis were prospectively compared. Thirty-seven patients underwent laparoscopic appendectomy, and 34 had open appendectomy through a right lower quadrant incision. Length of surgery, postoperative morbidity and length of postoperative stay (LOS) were recorded. Both groups were similar with regard to age, gender, height, weight, fever, leukocytosis, and incidence of normal vs. gangrenous or perforated appendix. RESULTS: Mean LOS was significantly shorter for patients with acute suppurative appendicitis who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy (2.5 days vs. 4.0 days, p < 0.01). Mean LOS was no different when patients classified as having gangrenous or perforated appendicitis were included in the analysis (3.7 days vs. 4.1 days, P = 0.11). The laparoscopy group had significantly longer surgery times (72 min vs. 58 min, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative morbidity. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic appendectomy reduces LOS as compared with the traditional open technique in patients with acute suppurative appendicitis. The longer operative time for the laparoscopic approach in our study is likely related to the learning curve associated with the procedure and did not increase morbidity.
