Vascularized free flap transfers.

The success of a free flap transfer depends entirely on the suture of a paired artery and vein between the donor and recipient sites. The interrupted suturing method with biangulation or successive interrupted suturing is the method of choice. The size of the site, small or large, does not effect either the resulting patency or the process of intimal healing. When occlusion of the anastomosed site is encountered, the transferred free flap can be saved by exploration within 6 hours after surgery. Reapplication of the clamp proximally or distally to the anastomosed site does not change the patency rate. Free groin flaps can be successfully transferred in 2 orthopedic cases.

Development of Microphalloides japonicus (Osborn, 1919) metacercariae in vitro (Trematoda: Microphallidae).

Metacercariae of the trematode Microphalloides japonicus (Osborn, 1919) were cultivated in various media to gravid adults, and the results were compared with those in vivo. A few eggs were produced in the uterus even in balanced salt solution, although cultivation in Eagle's MEM and NCTC 109 media was much better. Addition of heat-inactivated serum resulted in even better development. Encysted metacercariae also produced eggs in some media, but most of them were incomplete and without shells.

Prolongation of Q-I interval in atrial septal defect.

The present paper is concerned with Q-I interval and factors affecting this interval in 55 patients with atrial septal defect of ostium secundum type (ASD) in comparison with the interval in 60 healthy individuals and 37 patients with mitral stenosis. The results obtained are as follows: 1) Q-I interval was significantly greater in patients with ASD than in healthy individuals, and less than in patients with mitral stenosis. 2) The Q-I interval in ASD showed significant correlations with size of septal defect and age, but no correlation with other variables such as heart rate, blood pressure, and right heart catheterization data. 3) The interval was significantly shortened following the surgical closure of ASD. These findings suggest that left-to-right shunt at atrial level leads to prolongation of Q-I interval. Mechanisms for these results were discussed.

Phono-, echo-, and electro-cardiographic correlation in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, with special reference to the split pattern of second heart sound.

Twenty-three cases with WPW syndrome were studied by means of phonocardiography, echocardiography, and electrocardiography. All cases showed the abnormal cardiac motion in echocardiography, which could be divided into 2 types; ventricular (V) type in which the posterior left ventricular wall showed the abnormal humps in the early and late systole (18 cases), and septal (S) type in which the abnormal hump was noted in the early systole in the interventricular septum (5 cases). The cases with V type echocardiogram showed either type A, B, or C, and those with S type either type B or C of ECG. All cases with V type had the splitting of second heart sound of a normal fashion and the IIA-IIP interval ranged from 0.015 to 0.08 sec with a mean of 0.0356+/-0.0157 sec. In contrast, those with S type showed either a reversed splitting of second heart sound (4 cases) or a single second heart sound (1 case), and the IIA-IIP interval ranged from 0 to--0.05 sec with a mean of --0.0250+/-0.0170 sec. No consistent relationship was noted between the ECG type and the split interval of second heart sound. There was the significant positive correlation between the IIA-IIP interval and the QRS duration in the cases with V type echocardiogram. In S type, these 2 parameters showed the significant negative correlation.
