[An evaluation of fetal movement during non stress testing (author's transl)].

The measuring methods of fetal rolling movements, which are very important diagnostic informations at the case of Non Stress Test, are analysed. In normal pregnant women (from 29 to 40 gestational weeks), the observation of fetal head and trunk rolling movements by real-time B-scan, and maternal perception of fetal movements are simultaneously recorded in analog data recorder. Analysing these recorded data, we found that 76.7% of fetal rolling movements could be detected by observation of head rolling movements only, and 72.4% with trunk observation only. But maternal perception could find only 28.5% of fetal rolling movements. These results and analysis may suggest us that, if only one machine is available, the observation of fetal head rolling movements by real-time B-scan is the most effective method for the analysis if fetal rolling movements on NST.

A case of hyperosmolar nonketotic coma occurring during chemotherapy using cisplatin for gallbladder cancer.

A 61 year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of an abdominal tumor. She was diagnosed with recurrent gallbladder cancer, and treated with cisplatin (CDDP). On day 6, after the 1st cycle of chemotherapy, she developed confusion and suddenly became comatose. She was diagnosed as having hyperosmolar nonketotic coma (HNC) on day 7. She had no history of diabetes mellitus. She recovered from HNC after 3 days of treatment with continuous infusion of 0.45% saline and moderate amounts of insulin. HNC may be a complication of CDDP chemotherapy in patients with malignancy. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is necessary for HNC occurring during chemotherapy for malignant disease.

Beneficial effect of thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitor (OKY-046) on 24-hr simple hypothermic preservation of the canine pancreas graft.

This study was performed to investigate the potential protective effect of OKY-046, an inhibitor of thromboxane A2 synthetase, on the viability of 24-hr preserved canine segmental pancreas graft. Each graft was preserved in either cold Euro-Collins (E-C) solution (control group; n = 5) or E C+OKY-046(10(-4)M) solution (OKY-046 group; n = 5). In both groups, grafts were preserved for 24 hr and calculated the total levels of 6keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6ket-PGF1 alpha) and thromboxane B2(TxB2) in the preservation solution per pancreas graft weight at the time point of 0,3,7,12,24 hr after preservation. The efficacy of OKY-046 in protecting ischemically stressed grafts was examined by histological findings of the grafts before transplantation and blood flow of the transplanted pancreas graft. During 24-hr preservation time, increased production of 6ket-PGF1 alpha and decreased production of TxB2 were found in OKY-046 group. Histologically ischemic damage of the acinar cells was observed in the control group, but it was milder in the OKY-046 group. The blood flow of the transplanted pancreas in the OKY-046 group were higher than that in control group. In the OKY-046 group, all dogs survived with functioning grafts, although some grafts were lost in the control group. These results suggest that there is a possibility that OKY-046 may contribute to the improvement of the survival rate in segmental pancreas transplantation.
