[A surgical case report of severe valvular aortic stenosis with atrial septal defect in a 78-year-old female].

We have experienced open heart surgery of severe valvular aortic stenosis associated with atrial septal defect in a 78-year-old female patient. This is the oldest case in Japanese literature. Because balloon valvuloplasty can not produce improvement in hemodynamic and clinical status, open heart surgery was performed as the final decision. The operative procedure consisted of aortic valve replacement with a 19 mm St. Jude Medical valve and direct closure of atrial septal defect. Postoperative course was excellent. The patient is doing well at the two years and three months of follow-up period.

Studies on cholesterol accumulation in radicular cyst fluid--origin of heat-stable cholesterol-binding protein.

1. The amount of apolipoprotein B (apo B) was measured using slit-immunoblotting in 20 specimens of radicular cyst fluids. Apo B was detected in all the cyst fluids with varying amounts. 2. Relationship between the amounts of apo B and free cholesterol or activity of heat-stable cholesterol-binding protein (HCBP) were examined. The amount of apo B was correlated well with the activity of HCBP (n = 20, r = 0.72, P less than 0.01) and with the amount of free cholesterol (n = 20, r = 0.45, P less than 0.05). 3. Anti-human apo B antibody inhibited cholesterol-binding activity in radicular cyst fluid. 4. When human-serum was chromatographed on a HPLC ion-exchange column, both cholesterol-binding activity and apo B had exactly the same retention time. 5. These results suggest that HCBP originates from beta-lipoprotein, and beta-lipoprotein may have an important role in cholesterol accumulation on radicular cysts.
