A new instrument for closed irrigation-suction treatment.

Orthopedic surgeons are often faced with the surgical complication of fulminating deep wound infection and bone and joint infection after complicated fractures. Two hundred and seventy patients were treated for bone and joint infection by closed irrigation-suction from 1970 to 1982. Obstruction of the drainage tube, solution leakage, and post-operative bleeding were the knotty problems. Our new instrument for irrigation-suction treatment resolved these problems. The instruments consists of a suction pump, a channel changer, and a double tube system.

Ring chromosome 6: case report and review.

A ring chromosome 6 was identified in an apparently healthy girl with short stature and microcephaly. Of 100 peripheral lymphocyte metaphases analyzed, chromosome 6 was replaced in 73% by a monocentric ring chromosome, in 10% by a dicentric, in 1% by a tricentric, and 3% by two rings. Thirteen other cells were 45,XX,-6, which may represent 46,XX,r(6)/45,XX,-6 mosaicism. The breakpoints were located on bands p24 or p25 and q26 or q27. Eight other patients with a ring chromosome 6 have been reported. The most characteristic findings in subjects with a ring chromosome 6 are mental retardation and eye and ear abnormalities, none of which were present in our patient.
