[The mouse test. Correlation between the segmentation of murine embryos and the fertilization and segmentation of human ovocytes and pre-embryos].

The "mouse test" resulted to be an indispensable requisite in order to do, with security, although not complete, the serum selection, to use in the extracorporal phase of FIVTE. Because of the observations it is considered that it should be tried to addition the culture medium with good quality sera; which is evident with a 90% rate, or more, of segmentation in the embryonic system of mouse, of two cells.

[Autotransplantation of a double-bone-muscle-skin flap in the one-step segmental resection and plastic repair of distal segments of the extremities in cancer patients].

This article describes a biosteodermomuscular flap formation. The flap contains parts of VIII-IXribs, the broadest muscle of the back and a musculus serratus anterior. This method has been successfully used for a one-step segmental resection and microsurgical plastic operations on distal parts of extremities in five patients with malignant tumors of soft tissues.

The application of electron microscopic morphometry as a helpful method in the diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) early phase. II. Clinical usefulness of electron microscopic morphometric studies in cases of minimal change disease (MCD) and mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (GNMES) with suspicion of progression into focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

Clinical and morphological analysis (including morphometric studies of electron microscopic material) was made in 15 children with MCD and 15 children with GNMES. In both groups, an early phase of FSGS was suspected on the basis of electron microscopic studies. Moreover, analysis included the results obtained in 13 children with the diagnosis of FSGS and in whom repeated biopsies were performed. In most of them, MCD or GNMES was diagnosed from the first biopsy. In most children in whom electron microscopic studies revealed an increase in matrix area in some mesangial regions, thereby suggesting an early stage of glomerular sclerosis, the results of morphometric studies resembled or were identical to the results obtained from a control group with the established diagnosis of FSGS. These findings indicate that morphometric studies of electron microscopic material are significant. The results, when compared with the clinical data, confirm the usefulness of such a diagnostic procedure.

Safety and efficacy with drug-eluting stent in ST-segment elevation and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND: Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been shown to reduce the need for repeat revascularization compared with bare metal stents (BMS). However, there is little information regarding the safety and long-term efficacy of DES in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DES in patients with AMI. METHODS: Data from 211 consecutive patients with AMI treated with DES were compared with those from 228 consecutive patients with AMI treated with BMS. All patients were treated within 7 days of symptom onset. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events ([MACE]: death, reinfarction, and target vessel revascularization) was evaluated at 30 days and 1 year. RESULTS: Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were similar for both stent groups. However, patients who received DES had longer lesion lengths (23.0 +/- 12.7 vs. 18.8 +/- 10.6 mm, respectively; p < 0.001) and smaller reference diameters (2.97 +/- 0.52 vs. 3.19 +/- 0.63 mm, respectively, p < 0.001). At 30 days, the incidence rates of MACE (DES vs. BMS: 2.2 vs. 1.9%, p = 1.000) and stent thrombosis (BMS vs. DES: 0.9 vs. 1.7%; p = 0.434) did not differ significantly between the groups. At 1 year, patients with DES had a lower rate of MACE (BMS vs. DES: 14.0 vs. 6.6%; p = 0.011) primarily due to a lower target vessel revascularization rate (BMS vs. DES: 9.6 vs. 4.8%; p = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS: The DES appear to be superior to the BMS in reducing the risk of MACE in patients with AMI.

Clinical studies on the efficiency of high power laser radiation upon some structures of the anterior segment of the eye. First experiences of the treatment of some pathological conditions of the anterior segment of the human eye by means of a Q-switched laser system.

A series of pathological conditions such as pupillary block glaucoma, angle block glaucoma, acoria, pupillary membranes and goniosynechias of various origins have been treated successfully by means of pulses emitted from a Nd:YAG Q-switched laser above optical breakdown threshold. Since linear absorption is not required, non-pigmented or entirely transparent structures are easily dissected by this method. We have also opened the supraciliary and suprachoroidal space in a series of cases of wide angle glaucomas. In all cases however, the clefts closed by secondary wound reactions. This method may be applied to extracapsular cataract surgery for opening the anterior capsule before lens extraction and to the hydrophthalmic eye.

Significance of subendocardial S-T segment elevation caused by coronary stenosis in the dog. Epicardial S-T segment depression, local ischemia and subsequent necrosis.

A model of partial thickness ischemia has been developed using subendocardial S-T elevation without epicardial S-T elevation to detect partial thickness ischemia which is sufficient to cause subsequent necrosis. Subendocardial blood flow in this model (measured with radioactive microsphere techniques) may be reduced to 25 percent of normal (P less than 0.001) by coronary stenosis and tachycardia while subepicardial flow remains normal. Epicardial S-T depression seems to indicate reciprocally subendocardial S-T elevation as long as a layer of nonischemic epicardial muscle is present, but when ischemia becomes transmural, epicardial S-T elevation occurs. Regional pressure-flow relations were determined as distal coronary pressure was reduced at a constant aortic pressure, heart rate and cardiac output. These relations revealed remarkably effective autoregulation of epicardial blood flow concomitant with progressive subendocardial ischemia.
