Effects of angiotensin antagonists in various forms of experimental arterial hypertension.

The dependence of renal hypertension on increased levels of angiotensin II was investigated in conscious dogs at various stages of hypertension of four different types. Two of the most potent angiotensin inhibitors, Sar1-Ile8- and Sar1-Thr8-angiotensin II, were infused separately in various doses and at different times throughout the evolution of renal hypertension. The results of these experiments are consistent with the view that the renin-angiotensin system may participate in the acute and malignant phases of renal hypertension; they do not provide evidence for its participation when hypertension enters the chronic phase.

Heroin body packing: three fatal cases of intestinal perforation.

Death from heroin body packing has been well described in the forensic literature. Most fatalities are due to drug leakage and consequent acute heroin toxicity. Recently, drug traffickers have become more sophisticated in their packaging, and the risk of rupture of drug packets is more remote. Though intestinal obstruction is a recognized risk of body packing, rarely has this resulted in death. We describe four cases of heroin body packing presenting to the Regional Medical Examiner Office in New Jersey. Death in three of these cases was due to intestinal obstruction, with resultant intestinal rupture and peritonitis. Toxicologic evaluation in these three cases was negative for opiates or other drugs of abuse. In one case, death was due to acute heroin toxicity, validated by toxicologic analysis. We briefly discuss the differing drug packaging found in these four cases and the ramifications of packaging as it relates to intestinal obstruction.

Effective interventions for reading disability.

A simple, readily accessible, and inexpensive intervention which produces immediate improvements in the reading comprehension abilities of reading-disabled children has been found. The intervention consists of colored overlays, or overlays which reduce the contrast of printed materials. This intervention produces reading comprehension gains in approximately 80 percent of the reading-disabled children tested.

Effect of disposable infection control barriers on light output from dental curing lights.

PURPOSE: To prevent contamination of the light guide on a dental curing light, barriers such as disposable plastic wrap or covers may be used. This study compared the effect of 3 disposable barriers on the spectral output and power density from a curing light. The hypothesis was that none of the barriers would have a significant clinical effect on the spectral output or the power density from the curing light. METHODS: Three disposable barriers were tested against a control (no barrier). The spectra and power from the curing light were measured with a spectrometer attached to an integrating sphere. The measurements were repeated on 10 separate occasions in a random sequence for each barrier. RESULTS: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Fisher's protected least significant difference test showed that the power density was significantly less than control (by 2.4% to 6.1%) when 2 commercially available disposable barriers were used (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the power density when general-purpose plastic wrap was used (p > 0.05). The effect of each of the barriers on the power output was small and probably clinically insignificant. ANOVA comparisons of mean peak wavelength values indicated that none of the barriers produced a significant shift in the spectral output relative to the control ( p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Two of the 3 disposable barriers produced a significant reduction in power density from the curing light. This drop in power was small and would probably not adversely affect the curing of composite resin. None of the barriers acted as light filters.

[Activation of the complement system during hemodialysis].

One of the adverse effects of haemodialysis is activation of the complement system occurring at the contact of blood with the dialyser membrane. In vitro conditions it was found by means of a modified method of registering haemolitic complement activity pre- and post-incubation with the membrane that the activation of complement in a given blood donor depends both on the inherent complement reactivity and on the surface physico-chemical qualities. The contribution of each component was estimated by means of the coefficient of spontaneous speed (kspont) and of induced speed (kind) of complement activation. The comparison of the results of the complement system activation in vivo (in 9 dialysed patients) with the in vitro results made it possible to use the designed kinetic model in prognostication of the complement system of a given patient subjected to haemodialysis.

[Effect of gonadectomy on the carcinogenesis induced by a foreign body implant].

The incidence of tumors arising near a plate in male rats castrated before and after its being implanted into the loose connective tissue was studied. Tumors occurred in 26 animals out of 49 in control (group 3) (53.2%); in 16 out of 28 rats castrated one month after implantation (group 2) (57.1%), and in 5 out of 21 rats castrated one month before implantation (group 3) (23.8%). Connective-tissue capsules in group 3 were thin 12 months after implantation and were absent in several animals thus suggesting resorption. However, collagen capsules formed around the plates in groups 1 and 2 had become much thicker by the same time. Tumor growth was inhibited in gonadoectomized animals which formed collagen capsules after plate implantation. In view of the available data on reduced synthesis of collagen in young castrated male rats, the rapid resorption of collagen capsules in group 3 seems to have been due to their thinness. Therefore, inhibition of tumor growth around the plates was in correlation with fast resorption of collagen capsules. It is suggested that collagen resorption inhibition is a factor contributing to tumorigenesis.

[Packaging in the process of radiation sterilization. II. Physicochemical studies].

The penetrability of the ionizing radiation through the matter makes possible the sterilization of the medical devices in the packed form by radiation method. The effect of the radiation should not bring any destructive changes in the material used for the package. In this paper have been discussed the results of the investigations of the one--and multilayer packaging materials from the point of view their utility for the radiation sterilization purposes. The changes of the useful parameters of the investigated materials have been determined in the dependence on the absorbed dose immediately after irradiation and the period of the durable keeping after the sterilization. The results of the mechanical investigations in the correlation to the results of the microbiological effects of the sterilized materials enabled to draw practical conclusions concerned the usability of the particular packages.
