Fetal intestinal transplantation: a new therapeutic approach in short-bowel syndrome.

Intraperitoneally transplanted fetal rat intestine can be anastomosed to the intestine of the host after 4 weeks of maturation. In syngeneic transplant combinations morphological findings as well as functional parameters suggest that the intestinal transplant might provide a substitute for normal intestinal tissue. Four weeks after fetal intestinal transplantation in adult Lewis rats we resected the total small bowel of the host and interposed the matured transplant. Resection of total small bowel without transplant interposition led to a decline of body weight in control animals but was prevented in the transplanted group. After total small bowel resection and cecectomy (a lethal resection in the control group) we found a 40% (4/10) survival in the group in which the transplant had been anastomosed to the remaining bowel.

Animals

[Persistent subarachnoid-pleural cerebrospinal fluid fistula following excision of a thoracic ganglioneuroma. Case report].

During extirpation of a thoracic ganglioneuroma, haemostasis of venous haemorrhage by application of bone wax close to the costovertebral junction at Th 4/5 resulted in plegia of the lower extremities on the fourth postoperative day. Compression of the myelon due to the applied bone wax was relieved directly after CT scan diagnosis. In the postoperative course, a persisting subarachnoidal pleural fistula was closed by means of muscle flap plasty and fibrin adhesive.

Cerebrospinal Fluid

[Differential "adrenal gland tumor-adrenal gland hemorrhage" diagnosis. A sonographic follow-up].

A case report with typical sonographic follow-up findings of adrenal hemorrhage in neonates is presented. The most important follow-up criteria to differentiate adrenal malignoma from hemorrhage sonographically are significant reduction of size, loss of echogenity as well as formation of a capsula within the first 10 days of life. Otherwise - even with insignificant laboratory findings - malignoma, especially congenital neuroblastoma, has to be suspected.

Adrenal Gland Diseases

[Appendicitis in enteritis].

We are confronted with the fact that in a considerable number of cases appendicitis occurring during enteritis is diagnosed late and is often only operated on in the state of perforation. Among our own cases of 519 appendectomies in the last five-years-period this applied to 13 children (2.4%). The problems of these cases and methods to a correct and immediate diagnosis are shown.
