Canadian clinical trial of antilymphocyte globulin in human cadaver renal transplantation.

A multicentre, randomized clinical trial of antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) was conducted among patients who had undergone cadaver kidney transplantation; follow-up was continued for a minimum of 1 year. Of the 179 patients 92 were given conventional treatment only, while 87 were given in addition ALG (from a standardized, highly immunosuppressive, common pool of equine ALG), 20 mg/kg-d intravenously for 10 days after transplantation. The ALG-treated group had better accumulated graft survival, fewer nephrectomies, better graft function, less than half the number of acute rejection episodes and less prednisone use. There was a beneficial drug (ALG)-related effect in both the graft and the host during the first 3 months after transplantation.

Bioavailability of ascorbic acid in orange juice.

Several orange juice preparations were analyzed for biologically active and inactive ascorbic acid derivatives --L-ascorbic acid , dehydro-L-ascorbic acid, and inactive 2,3-diketo-L-gulonic acid. Fresh orange juice contained from 4 to 7 mg/100 ml of inactive ascorbic acid. In contrast, pasteurized orange juice contained from 15 to 30 mg/100 ml of inactive ascorbic acid (up to 400% more than fresh orange juice). Samples of fresh orange juice contained as much as 100% more active ascorbic acid than samples of pasteurized orange juice. There is great variability in prepared orange juice derivatives with a substantial decrease in bioavailability of active ascorbic acid.

Use of xenograft bone with aspirated bone marrow for treatment of cystic defect of the jaws.

Xenografts of Kiel bone in combination with autologous aspirated bone marrow were used to graft 20 cystic defects in the jaws. Sixteen cases (80%) were successful. Results were evaluated by clinical and radiographic follow-up of the patient up to 4 years (average 2.3 years) after surgery. Inability to create a water-tight closure followed by immediate secondary infection were considered as the causes for failure rather than rejection by the host.

Chip fractures of the mandibular condyle.

Four patients suffered from trauma of the temporomandibular (TM) joints. They were examined by routine x-ray procedures. The x-ray films failed to demonstrate a chip fracture of the head of the mandibular condyle. A coronal computed tomographic (CT) view established the fracture shortly after the trauma in three patients. These patients improved clinically after physiotherapy. The fourth patient was retrospectively diagnosed as having a chip fracture of the mandibular head. She underwent CT scan 10 months posttrauma , and ankylosis of the TM joint was established. The mechanism and the clinical symptoms of this injury, which have not been previously described, are reported in this article.

Computed tomography of the temporo-mandibular joint.

Computed tomography (CT) of the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) has only been occasionally reported. As CT techniques improve, more detailed information is available. Though conventional radiography of the TMJ can supply sufficient diagnostic detail, it may well be replaced by CT as a preliminary examination, as it is able to offer more information with less radiation and minimal patient discomfort.

Giant hemangioma with thrombocytopenia and osteolysis successfully treated with prednisone.

A 6-week-old girl with a hemangioma with thrombocytopenia, consumption coagulopathy, extensive bleeding, disappearance of the right pubic bone, and destruction of part of the right iliac bone was successfully treated with prednisone. Treatment lasted 30 weeks. Bleeding ceased within a few days; bone rebuilding was first observed at 30 days and was extensive at the end of treatment. When the child was 3 years old, pelvic films were normal. The occurrence of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome associated with complete osteolysis as in our patient is rare and bone reconstruction is unusual.

Impacted primary incisor: report of case.

Impaction of a primary incisor is very rare, with only one previous report in the dental literature. After surgical exposure, the case reported here had a normal course of eruption during follow-up.
