Enhanced surfaces for endothelial cell seeding.

Silver negative ions (Ag-) were implanted to polystyrene (PS) and tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) by using neutral and ionized alkaline bombardment-type heavy negative ion sources, NIABNIS. Surface property and biocompatibility of Ag(-)-implanted TCPS and PS were investigated. Enhanced growth of vascular endothelial cells was observed on Ag(-)-implanted TCPS at a dose of 10(16) ions.cm-2 at an ion energy of 10 keV and Ag(-)-implanted (at ca. 10(15) ions.cm-2 dose and 10 keV energy) PS region. As a result of Ag(-)-implantation, PS and TCPS surfaces were considered to be more hydrophobic and to be more hydrophilic, respectively.

[Surgical treatment of lung cancer complicated with liver cirrhosis, esophageal varices and pancytopenia: a case report].

Left upper lobectomy and lymph node dissection were successfully performed in a 75-year-old man with lung cancer combined with liver cirrhosis, esophageal varices and pancytopenia. No postoperative complications were encountered due to appropriate fluid transfusion, sufficient administration of fresh frozen plasma and well-chosen antibiotics. In lung operations on patients with liver cirrhosis, it is important to determine the operative indication according to natural history of liver cirrhosis and lung cancer, operative risk and prognosis. Furthermore, the management with special attention to complicated conditions of liver cirrhosis is necessary at the time of surgery.
