[Endoscopic resection with local injection of HSE (ERHSE) in early gastric carcinomas].

We have developed a new therapeutic method of endoscopic resection with local injection of HSE (ERHSE) for the early gastric carcinomas. ERHSE was performed for a total of seventy eight lesions of seventy five cases. Seventy eight early gastric carcinomas consisted of IIc (35), IIa (32), I (6), IIa + IIc (4) and IIc + IIa (1). Ten cases out of 75 underwent gastrectomy, because the invasion of carcinoma was detected in the submucosa or to the resected margin. No evidence of local recurrence has been obtained in the sixty five cases treated by this method.

[Deep sylvian meningioma: case report and review of the literature].

A case of intrasylvian meningioma is presented with some considerations to the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of the tumor. A 34-year-old Japanese woman, who had experienced several episodes of fainting attacks since 19 years old, was admitted to our hospital on March 22, 1983. Her plain skull roentgenogram showed abnormal calcification in her left fronto-temporal region. CT scan demonstrated clear-marginal high density mass in the left sylvian fissure which was homogeneously enhanced after administration of contrast medium. Left carotid angiogram showed intrasylvian mass with small tumor stain in late arterial phase, but external carotid artery had no concern with this tumor. On March 30, left fronto-temporal craniotomy was performed. The tumor was located in the extra-axial space of the sylvian fissure without any attachment to the dura mater or to the choroid plexus of the ventricles. This hard tumor, 70 grams in its weight, was successfully removed. It was histologically diagnosed fibroblastic meningioma. The patient was discharged without any neurological deficits. Twenty-four cases of meningiomas not attached to the dura mater or to choroid plexus could be reviewed from the literature. This type of meningioma is occasionally called "deep sylvian meningioma", but in some reports the tumors developed far from sylvian fissure. And even in the cases in which the tumors were reported to be located in the sylvian fissure, macroscopic space where tumors developed was various. The clinical features, diagnosis, and surgical management of this tumor were also discussed in the report.

Endoscopic local injection of hypertonic saline-epinephrine solution to arrest hemorrhage from the upper gastrointestinal tract.

For the purpose of arresting hemorrhage from the upper gastrointestinal tract we developed a method of endoscopic local injection of hypertonic saline-epinephrine solution, consisting of 3.6% or 7.1% sodium chloride with 0.005% epinephrine, which was locally injected around the base of the bleeding vessel under endoscopy. During the period between October 1978 and September 1983, a total of 158 patients underwent treatment for hemostasis by this method. The major causes of bleeding in our study consisted of gastric ulcers (114) and duodenal ulcers (15). The overall effective rate of hemostasis was 98.1%. By applying this method, the rate of emergency operation for patients with bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract was significantly reduced from 21.7% (15/69) to 0.8% (1/128).

[Localized fibrous malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in an operated patient with massive hemorrhage to the peritoneal cavity].

We reported an operated patient with localized peritoneal mesothelioma. The patient was a 39-year-old man who had occasionally complained of left hypochondralgia for 5 years before admission. Progressive anemia due to hemorrhage into the peritoneal cavity was noted after admission. Peritoneoscopy revealed the bleeding to be located between the left lobe of the liver and the anterior wall of the stomach. On the 22nd hospital day, surgery was performed and a fist-sized tumor was resected. Microscopically, it was fibrous malignant type of the peritoneal mesothelioma. Chemotherapy was performed 3 times after the operation, and the patient is living and well 1 year and 8 months postoperatively.

Surgical treatment of congenital heart disease with special reference to the application of hypothermia.

This report presents the results of operation for congenital heart disease using two different methods of hypothermia: (1) Immersion hypothermia alone. Of the 782 patients who underwent open-heart operations using this method the results were good in patients whose intracardiac surgical repair took less than one hour (average mortality rate, 5.6%). (2) Rapid extracorporeal cooling. Of the 269 patients with congenital heart diseases such as ventricular septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, or atrioventricular canal with low cardiac reserve who underwent operation with mild to moderate hypothermia utilizing rapid extracorporeal cooling, the mortality was 11.2%. In the 151 patients with more serious defects, including the extreme form of tetralogy of Fallot, single ventricle, and truncus arteriosus, who underwent open-heart operations with deep hypothermia utilizing extracorporeal cooling, the mortality rate was 15.2%.

A new approach to total repair of transposition of the great vessels: a technique for atrial autotransplantation.

We have devised a new operative procedure called atrial autotransplantation for transposition of the great vessels and applied it in 7 cases. Results were satisfactory except for one death. The bais of this technique was the experiment, using 70 dogs, in which the relationship of separation of the atrial wall and atrial septum to the development of arrhythmia was studied. It was found that reservation of the upper one sixth of the right atrial wall and the upper one third of the left atrial wall developed almost no significant arrhythmia with slow rate. By this concept and method, the left and right atria are almost completely separated, and a complete intraventricular and intra-atrial repair is made in a satisfactory operative field. Since there is no surgical intervention in the ventricular wall, postoperative cardiac function can be satisfactorily maintained. With this procedure intr-atrial conversion was performed in four cases and intraventricular conversion in three cases-the former for type I of uncomplicated transposition and type III of combined pulmonary stenosis, with or without VSD, and the latter for type II of combined large VSD. Only one patient with intraventricular conversion died of low cardiac output syndrome, probably due to incomplete relief of combined pulmonary stenosis.
