Presurgical diagnosis of a primary carcinoid tumor of the thymus with MIBG.

A primary carcinoid tumor of the thymus showing ectopic ACTH syndrome was evaluated scintigraphically with four radiopharmaceuticals and a fluorescence method. Iodine-123-MIBG and 201Tl-Cl scintigraphy clearly demonstrated the tumor. Gallium-67-citrate and 99mTc(V)-DMSA showed no tumor uptake. The fluorescence method confirmed numerous storage granules of norepinephrine. Iodine-123-MIBG scintigraphy could be useful in the presurgical diagnosis of carcinoid tumors of the thymus.

[Basic study of CA125 measurement using a newly developed "SD-8729" IRMA kit].

"SD-8729" is a one-step IRMA kit employing OC125 antibody as 125I-labeled tracer and M-11 antibody as an immunoadsorbent. Higher bound-radioactivity to beads was observed with shorter incubation time than that of a currently used CA125 IRMA kit which employed OC125 antibody both as 125I-labeled ligand and immunoadsorbent attached to beads. Almost identical CA125 values were obtained by using two kits. The antigenic nature recognized by the M-11 antibody seems substantially different from those of 130-22 or 145-9 antibodies recognizing CA130 antigen.

[Basic and clinical studies of serum CA195 antigen assay with "BL-CA195" kit].

We performed basic and clinical studies of IRMA "BL-CA195" kit in which monoclonal antibody CC3C195 was used as 125I-labeled tracer and solid phase antibody. The reproducibility of the assay results and dilution curves were satisfactory. There was a close correlation between serum CA195 and CA19-9 values, and many patients with pancreatic and colorectal cancer had elevated serum CA195 concentrations. Unlabeled CC3C195 antibody dose-dependently and completely inhibited the binding of 125I-labeled anti-CA19-9 antibody to its corresponding antigen. These findings suggest that CA195 and CA19-9 share common antigenic determinants.

[Successful aorto-circumflex coronary bypass grafting through left thoracotomy following aortic and mitral valve replacement].

We report successful descending thoracic aorto-circumflex coronary artery bypass grafting using a saphenous vein graft through left thoracotomy in a 44-year-old female. The patient developed severe angina attack after aortic and mitral valve replacement. Coronary angiography showed 99% stenosis of the circumflex coronary artery. Under general anesthesia, left femoral vein to arterial partial cardiopulmonary bypass was performed via left 4 th intercostal space. Body temperature was lowered to 22 degrees centigrade, and spontaneous cardiac fibrillation occurred. After minimal exposure by pericardial dissection of the circumflex coronary artery, distal anastomosis and then proximal anastomosis at the descending thoracic aorta was carried out under cardiac fibrillation. This surgery was done with minimal intra-and postoperative bleeding. Postoperative course was very smooth, and the patient was discharged and leading a normal life for 6 months after surgery.

[Basic study of CA549, a new tumor marker for breast cancer, and evaluation of its clinical usefulness].

We performed basic and clinical studies of IRMA kits for serum CA549 antigen and examined the immunological correlation between CA549 and CA15-3 antigens. Satisfactory results were obtained in the basic studies of CA549 assays, such as the reproducibility and the dilution test. Many patients with breast cancer had elevated serum CA549 concentrations and significant correlation was observed between serum CA549 and CA15-3 values. Anti-CA549 antibody completely inhibited the binding of 125I-labeled anti-CA15-3 antibody to its antigens. These results suggest that CA549 and CA15-3 antigens have similar immunological characteristics.

[A successful emergency surgical treatment of DeBakey type I dissecting aneurysm complicated with cardiac tamponade and bleeding shock].

A successful emergency replacement of the ruptured ascending thoracic aorta by means of ringed Dacron tube graft for 69-year-old male was presented, who had been admitted to our hospital with deep cyanosis and shock. He had experienced severe chest pain one hour prior to admission followed by mental confusion and was brought by ambulant service. Emergency chest enhanced computed tomography showed a clear ruptured dissecting aneurysm (DeBakey Type I) with complicated with pericardial tamponade. Soon after this admission he developed bradycardia with hypotension and quickly went into shock. After induction of anesthesia, cardiac arrest developed. External cardiac massage was started at the same time. Partial cardiopulmonary bypass using femoral vein to artery bypass with the membrane oxygenator was instituted and the body was cooled until moderate hypothermia (25 degrees C). The pericardium was opened and blood clot was removed. The ascending aorta ruptured which was replaced with ringed Dacron tube graft (24 mm in diameter). Patient tolerated procedure well and made good postoperative recovery with temporally mild mental confusion. He discharged 2 months after the surgery without any neurological or mental complication. He has been followed up for six months in excellent condition.

[A case of successful emergency coronary artery bypass grafting surgery for failed coronary angioplasty using percutaneous cardiopulmonary support].

This is the first Japanese case of the successful emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery for failed percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) using percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS). A 81-year-old woman with old myocardial infarction and angina pectoris is presented. Her coronary angiogram showed the 90% and 50% stenosis of the right coronary artery (RCA) and the total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). PTCA for the 90% stenosis of RCA was performed. But, during the balloon dilation, her heart rate and blood pressure decreased. PTCA was stopped. As her chest pain was worse, re-PTCA was tried, using PCPS. Under PCPS (3 l/min), the balloon dilation was performed safely and smoothly. But, the unexpected dissection of RCA occurred, and became larger rapidly. After 85 minutes, the emergency CABG was performed. By using PCPS, the stable hemodynamics was given till the operation. CABG to RCA and LAD was performed safely. After the surgery, the patient progressed well. PCPS was a very useful cardiopulmonary assist device.

[A successful resection of recurrent right ventricular myxoma].

A successful surgical treatment of right ventricular myxoma of twenty-year-old male was presented, who healed already previous resection of left atrial myxoma two year and eight months prior to this operation. He has been followed up closely after the first resection of left atrial myxoma for the recurrence in the left atrium. Follow-up echocardiography demonstrated the development of myxoma in the free wall in the right ventricle. The resection for this myxoma was found to be relatively easy at the second operation. The tumor was removed with the stark, without any postoperative problem. According to the literature, this case seems to be the second Japanese case of surgical treatment of right ventricular myxoma following the removal of left atrial myxoma.

[Treatment with percutaneous nephrolithotripsy and dissolution for bilateral renal cystine calculi in an infant].

A 20-month-old child was admitted to our hospital due to obstructive renal failure caused by cystine calculi. After recovering from the renal failure by bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy, pelvic irrigation with N-acetylcysteine was performed using a 12Fr. flexible double lumen catheter. In 2 weeks the calculus was reduced by 39% in size, then residual calculi were successfully removed by percutaneous nephrolithotripsy using 11.5Fr. rigid ureteroscope and postoperative irrigation with N-acetylcysteine.

[Postoperative percutaneous coronary angioplasty for stenosed aortocoronary vein bypass].

This paper was presented to demonstrate the efficacy of postoperative PTCA for varying degree of stenosis aortocoronary bypass with saphenous vein grafts. The following conclusions were drown. 1. The success rate of postoperative PTCA for 15 grafts showed 88.8%. 2. The rate of success for PTCA was much more effective in patients within one year after bypass operations. The authors concluded that postoperative PTCA can be done with excellent rate of success. Therefore, postoperative cine-coronary angiography should be done to evaluate the state of the graft and to decide to perform possible postoperative PTCA in order to keep long time patency rate of saphenous vein grafts.

[Treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome associated with asthma].

We performed division of accessory pathways in five asthma patients associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, for whom the administration of a beta-blocker for the tachycardia is contraindicated, and the administration of bronchodilators for the asthma attack may cause premature ventricular contractions. As a result, the tachycardic attacks disappeared postoperatively, both at rest and following administration of bronchodilators. Radical treatment of WPW syndrome by division the accessory pathway is considered to be necessary for the safe treatment of asthma.

[Chemotherapy with FT-207 suppository (Futraful Supo) in head and neck cancer--cooperative studies by six medical schools in Kanagawa Prefecture].

Chemotherapy with FT-207 suppository (Futraful supo) for head and neck cancer was studied by Six Medical Schools in Kanagawa Prefecture, and its effectiveness and side effects were examined. Seventy-five cases were treated with this drug. However, thirty-four cases were used for the final evaluation, with regard to the given dose etc. Generally, the effectiveness rate was 23.5%. Thyroid cancer, nasal cancer and paranasal sinus cancer gave the best results. All four cases of adenocarcinoma showed an effect. One case, who was given a higher dose, showed an increased effect. Also, cases which has not been treated with any other therapeutic procedure previously, showed a significant effectiveness rate. Side effects were observed in 45.2% of cases. These were largely appetite loss and so on, which concerned the digestive system. On the whole, it has been proved that FT-207 suppository (Futraful Supo) is useful as an induction chemotherapeutic drug for head and neck cancer.
