[Late results of ileorectal anastomosis in proctocolitis].

In 1961-1986 at the Surgical Clinic of the Institute for Postgraduate Medicine in Prague 49 colectomies were performed with ileorectal anastomosis. The operations were usually made in several stages. The remote results were evaluated after an interval of 10 to 26 years in 33 patients and were good to satisfactory in 82%. Malignant degeneration in the rectum was not observed. The relatively favourable results can be ascribed to careful selection of patients and frequently also the multi-stage procedure. Ileorectal anastomoses are still justified in the surgical treatment of proctocolitis.

Peripheral arterial reactivity in patients with peptic ulcers and in healthy subjects.

With an oscillograph according to Gesenius and Keller, the authors investigated the oscillographic waves in lower limbs and their reductions after exposition to cold and exercise in 27 men and 22 women with gastric or duodenal ulcer as well as in 18 healthy men and 12 healthy women. Both groups were subdivided into age categories from 19 to 30 and from 45 to 54 years. It was found that 1) peripheral arteries in men in the lower age category with duodenal ulcer reacted to cold stimulus by a more marked vasoconstriction than the arteries in healthy men in the same age category; 2) in women with duodenal ulcer the same observation was made in not only the younger, but also in the higher age category; 3) peripheral vasoconstriction after application of cold in women with duodenal ulcer, aged up to 30 years and 45-54 years was higher than in women with gastric ulcer in the corresponding age categories; 4) peripheral arteries of the younger men as well as of the younger and older women with duodenal ulcer reacted often more strongly to exercise and to exercise following application of cold in comparison with corresponding controls, and in the case of the women, in addition, with those with gastric ulcer.
