Small bowel biopsy for disaccharidase levels: evidence that endoscopic forceps biopsy can replace the Crosby capsule.

Lactase, sucrase and maltase activities in endoscopic biopsies from the second part of the duodenum were compared to those in Crosby capsule biopsies from the proximal jejunum. In patients with villous atrophy disaccharidase activities were reduced compared with histologically normal mucosa in the duodenum and jejunum. Disaccharidase activities were significantly lower in the duodenum than in the proximal jejunum of patients with histologically normal mucosa and in those with partial villous atrophy but not significantly different for total villous atrophy patients. Primary and secondary disaccharidase deficiencies can be identified in biopsies from the duodenum. Duodenal biopsy is a valid alternative to jejunal biopsy for the diagnosis of disaccharidase deficiency.

[Microsurgery: History of instrumental vascular anastomoses, our experience with eversion-stapling using VCS forceps].

One century, after Carrel in 1906, technics of vascular surgery are the same. After two world wars, peace surgery has been improved by war surgery. Microscopy surgery gave a new way for vascular surgery which became microsurgery with specific instrumentation. We have move from the developing period of microsurgery in the 1970s, to the fully matured period of microsurgery in the 1980s and the the development of clinical free flaps. The 1990s must be the turning point from autogenous tissue transplantation to allogenic transplantation. Ethic comity keeps keys of future! About microvascular anastomoses, many instrumental technics are explored but no-one is better than the classic manual suture. For us, the best instrumental technic is the anastomose with titanium clips VCS((R)) but we only use it in good situation without difficulties.
