Radioimmunoassay of main urinary metabolite of prostaglandin F2alpha in normal subjects.

Radioimmunoassay of 5alpha, 7alpha-dihydroxy-11-keto-tetranor-prosta-1,16-dioic acid, main urinary metabolite of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha-MUM), was performed in normal subjects. Twenty-four hours secretion of PGF2alpha-MUM were 29.04 +/- 9.73 microgram in males and 18.22 +/- 5.88 microgram in females on an average. And an oral administration of aspirin resulted in the remarkable decrease of PGF2alpha-MUM in both sexes.

Valvotomy in young patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis.

Twenty-nine patients younger than 18 years of age with mitral stenosis were operated upon in the Osaka University Hospital. Five patients who underwent operation in the early period of this study died postoperatively. Follow-up study was made in 20 of the surviving patients for a period of 6 to 20 years. Three died during the follow-up period. Twelve of the survivors were in NYHA Functional Class I, 4 were in Class II, and 1 was in Class III. Reactivation of rheumatic disease did not occur after mitral valvotomy.

Angiocardiography after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot using large homograft arteries.

Postoperative angiocardiographic findings were examined in eight patients whose pulmonary artery was reconstructed using an aortic or pulmonary homograft with valve. Apparent dilatation of the outflow tract of the right ventricle was seen in three patients. Only four showed valve mobility, with function judged almost normal in two of them. Calcification in a valve was not seen. The pulmonary trunk showed three directional patters, and stenosis was clearly observed in two cases. calcification of the pulmonary trunk was seen in only one case. The most difficult problem in the reconstruction of the pulmonary artery is the high incidence of pulmonary stenosis.
