The effect of uraemia upon wound healing: an experimental study.

Acute uraemia was induced in rats by performing a 70 per cent nephrectomy. Uraemia was shown to delay the healing of intestinal anastomoses and abdominal wounds in rats as judged by bursting strength tests. Cellular proliferation was depressed at wound edges but there was no reduction in the total amount of hydroxyproline present in the wounds. Fibroblast growth in tissue culture was affected by the addition both of uraemic plasma and of urea solution to the culture medium. The possible causes of these effects are discussed.

Selective proximal vagotomy with and without pyloroplasty.

The early results of a prospective randomized clinical trial of selective proximal vagotomy with and without gastric drainage in a total of 36 patients are reported. In spite of adequate average acid reduction and little evidence of gastric retention two definite recurrent ulcers have occurred in the 16 patients who did not have a pyloroplasty. Further trials of the effect of selective proximal vagotomy without gastric drainage are necessary before the procedure is widely adopted.
