Changes of kallikrein and serotonin in plasma during and after open-heart surgery.

Plasma kallikrein activity and plasma serotonin were studied during and after open-heart surgery in 15 patients with extracorporeal circulation and in 15 patients with surface-induced deep hypothermia. Following results were obtained: 1) Plasma kallikrein activity which reflects the activation of the kinin system, showed no significant change during extracorporeal circulation, and significantly increased three hours after the termination of perfusion. However, there was no significant difference in plasma kallikrein activity between the patients with and without low cardiac output syndrome (LOS). In surface-induced deep hypothermia, plasma kallikrein activity showed no significant change during and after operation. 2) Plasma serotonin significantly decreased during both extracorporeal circulation and hypothermia. Moreover, there was no significant difference in plasma serotonin between the patients with and without postoperative LOS or pulmonary hypertension. It is assumed that plasma serotonin may not play an important role in regulating blood pressure during or after open-heart surgery with either extracorporeal circulation or surface-induced deep hypothermia.

Antitumor effect of 3-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-3-deoxy-D-glucopyranose on murine tumors.

The antitumor activity of a new derivative of nitrosourea, 3-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-3-deoxy-D-glucopyranose (CNUG), against murine tumors was studied. CNUG showed remarkable antitumor activity against leukemias L1210 and P388, Lewis lung carcinoma, and sarcoma-180 (solid form). In particular, the majority of mice with leukemia or sarcoma-180 tumor were cured when they were given a single injection of CNUG on day 1 after tumor inoculation, and this treatment was more effective than daily treatment. CNUG was also active against sarcoma-180 grown in the brain, lung, liver or under the capsule of the kidney, and even against autochthonous lung tumor induced by 1-ethyl-1-nitrosourea. The number of peripheral leucocytes was depressed by the treatment with CNUG but this depression was less than that with 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea.

Clinicopathological studies on thyroglossal duct remnant.

The clinicopathological findings in 48 cases underwent complete surgical excision of epithelial tissue of the thyoglossal duct remnants were reviewed. Simple incision of the cyst does not seem to have any therapeutic value and would be followed frequently by recurrence. The widely used Sistrunk procedure 2,6 surgical excision of the central portion of the hyoid bone together with fibrous tract extending to the base of tongue, seems to be warranted in some cases so long as complete eradication of the epithelial tissue can be made.

Various manifestations of stratification phenomenon during intravenous cholangiography.

The authors classify various types of stratification phenomenon during intravenous cholangiography. The stage of gallbladder opacification in the recumbent position has been classified as (I) mottled, (II) dendritic, (III) ring-like, and (IV) homogeneous. 'Dendritic' type of stratification phenomenon has never been reported in the literature to our knowledge. At 20 min following infusion of contrast material homogeneous opacification of the gallbladder was noticed in only 14% of patients. The others fell into types I, II or III of stratification phenomenon. In contrast, 87% of the opacified gallbladders were homogeneous on the after fatty meal film. It is therefore mandatory for diagnosis that either a 24 h film or a fatty meal film be taken to avoid the stratification phenomenon.
