Objective. To estimate the in vitro effect of ethanol on the function of oxygen transport in the blood of patients in a state of alcohol deprivation and in healthy donors.Materials and methods. We analyzed blood samples from 13 male patients aged 22–56 in a state of alcohol deprivation and 11 males aged 20-45 in whom this diagnosis was excluded. The blood was incubated with ethanol solution at a final concentration of 50 μmol/L. The parameters of the function of oxygen transport (р50, рО2, рСО2, рН, АВЕ, НСО3-, ТСО2,SВЕ, SBC) of the blood taken from the cubital vein using an ABL-330 “Radiometr” microgas analyzer were determined.Results. The patients in a state of alcohol deprivation reveal increased affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen, and their acid-base status of the blood becomes alkaline. When ethanol is added in vitro to the blood of patients, the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen decreases.Conclusion. Decreased affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen upon the in vitro addition of ethanol in the examined patients indicates compensatory and adaptive changes in the oxygen transport of the blood in response to chronic ethanol consumption.

Background: Different treatment modalities and procedures have been tried for the management of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. But surgery remains the mainstay for management of IHPS. Ramstedt’s pyloromyotomy was described almost over a hundred years ago and to date remains the surgical technique of choice. An alternative and better technique is the double-Y pyloromyotomy, which offer better results for management of this common condition.Methods: A prospective comparative interventional study of 40 patients with IHPS was carried out over a period of 2 years from July 2008 to July 2010. The patients were divided into 2 equal groups of 20 patients in each. The study was designed that all patients selected for study were optimized preoperatively regarding to hydration, acid-base status and electrolytes imbalance. All surgeries were performed after obtaining informed consent. Standard preoperative preparation and postoperative feeding regimes were used. The patients were operated on an alternate basis, i.e., one patient by Double-Y Pyloromyotomy(DY) and the next by aRamstedt’s Pyloromyotomy (RP). Data on patient demographics, operative time, anesthesia complications, postoperative complications including vomiting and weight gain were collected. Patients were followed up for a period of 3 months postoperatively. Statistical assessments were done by using t test.Results: From July 2008 through July 2010, fourty patients were finally analyzed for this study. Any statistical differences were observed in patient population regarding age, sex, weight at presentation, symptoms and clinical condition including electrolytes imbalance and acid-base status were recorded. Significant differences were found in postoperative vomiting and weight gain. Data of post operative vomiting and weight gain in both groups were collected. Vomiting in double-Y(DY) pyloromyotomy group (1.21 ± 0.45days) vs Ramstedt’s pyloromyotomy (RP) group(3.03 ± 0.37days) p= 0.0001.Weight gain after 1st 10 days DY vs RP is ( 298 ± 57.94 gm vs193±19.8 gm p=0.0014), after 1 month (676.67±149.84 gm vs 466.67 ± 127.71 gm, p=0.0001), after 2months (741.33± 278.74 gm vs 490±80.62 gm, p=0.002) and after 3 months (582±36.01gm vs 453.33±51.64 gm, p=0.0001).No long-term complications were reported and no re-do yloromyotomy was needed.Conclusion: The double-Y pyloromyotomy seems to be a better technique for the surgical management of IHPS. It may offer a better functional outcome in term of postoperative vomiting and weight gain.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jpsb.v1i2.19532
