Commercial mayonnaise and refrigerated ranch salad dressing were inoculated at two levels with two strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7, a non-pathogenic E. coli, and the non-fecal coliform Enterobacter aerogenes. Results showed that at the high inoculation level (>106 colony forming units [CFU]/g) in mayonnaise stored at room temperature (ca. 22°C) both strains of O157:H7 were undetected at 96 h. At the high inoculation level, all strains of coliform bacteria tested survived longer in salad dressing stored at 4°C than in mayonnaise stored at 22°C. The O157:H7 strains were still present at low levels after 17 days. The survival time in the low-level inoculum (104CFU/g) study decreased, but the survival pattern in the two products was similar to that observed in the high-level inoculum study. Slight differences in survival among strains were observed. The greater antimicrobial effect of mayonnaise may be attributable to differences in pH, water activity (aw), nutrients, storage temperature, and the presence of lysozyme in the whole eggs used in the production of commercial mayonnaise. Coliform bacteria survived longer in refrigerated salad dressing than in mayonnaise particularly at the high-level inoculum. Both mayonnaise (pH 3.91) and salad dressing (pH 4.51) did not support the growth of any of the microorganisms even though survival was observed.

The early embryo of Drosophila melanogaster did not survive treatment at 37 °C (heat shock) for 25 min. The histological analysis of eggs treated in this way showed that the heat shock caused disintegration of nuclei and of cytoplasmic islands, displacement and swelling of nuclei and blocked mitoses. These effects were not observed in embryos treatedafter blastoderm formation. After this stage, we noticed that development was slowed down. The heat shock proteins (hsp 83,70 and 68) were, under shock, synthesized at all developmental stages. There was little or no synthesis of hsp 70 and 68 in unfertilized eggs, but synthesis increased in proportion to the number of nuclei present. Most probably, hsp 70 synthesis was directed by zygotic mRNA. DNA synthesis was not blocked by the heat shock though the overall incorporation of [3H]thymidine was substantially reduced, presumably because of the block of mitoses. We did not find a direct relation between survival pattern and hsp synthesis. We concluded that some, at least, of the heat shock genes can be activated at all developmental stages and that heat shock could be used for synchronizing mitoses.

Adenocarcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the ampulla, but in general, it is still rare. Therefore, these tumors are difficult to study, and most reports are of retrospective design. To evaluate immediate postoperative and long-term results, we have collected data prospectively in a specially created database on 21 consecutive patients with adenocarcinoma of the papilla of Vater, operated on at the Department of Surgery, Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital. All patients have undergone classical or pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy. Postoperative mortality was 4.8% and overall morbidity – 28.6%. Pancreas-associated morbidity was 14.3% in the series. Actuarial 3-year survival among our patients was 89%. Stage I–II patients with T1–T2 and/or N negative tumors had significantly better 3-year survival when compared with stage III–IV patients, T3–T4 and/or N positive tumors. Patients with highly or moderately differentiated tumors (G1, G2) survived better than patients with poor cell differentiation (G3), though significant difference was not achieved. Results are satisfactory in terms of overall postoperative morbidity and mortality. Long-term survival pattern concerning T, N, and G status corresponds with other reports in literature, while the 3-year survival results are promising and speaks in favor of our surgical strategy.

Recruitment and survival of four important broad-leaved tree species, viz Quercusdealbata L., Quercusgriffithii Hk., Rhododendronarboreum Sm., and Schimakhasiana Dyer., were studied over 2 years in the undisturbed, mildly disturbed and highly disturbed forest stands of a subtropical humid forest of Meghalaya, northeast India. Recruitment of S. khasiana seedlings was maximum in the highly disturbed stand, while Q. dealbata seedlings were abundant in the undisturbed and mildly disturbed stands. Seedlings of Q. dealbata, Q. griffithii, and R. arboreum were equally successful in all the stands, while S. khasiana seedlings showed better survival in the highly disturbed stand than in the mildly disturbed and undisturbed stands. Six microenvironmental factors, viz photosynthetically active radiation, relative humidity, air temperature, soil temperature, soil moisture, and thickness of litter on the forest floor, were correlated with the age-specific mortality rate of seedlings. In Q. dealbata, Q. griffithii, and S. khasiana, mortality rate was significantly affected by microenvironmental factors, while in R. arboreum mortality was not correlated with any of the microenvironmental factors. On the basis of seedling recruitment and survival pattern, it was concluded that Q. dealbata, Q. griffithii, and R. arboreum were successful in both disturbed and undisturbed forest stands, while S. khasiana seedlings showed better survival and establishment in the disturbed stands.

SummaryThis experimental study investigated the feasibility of a modified reverse saphenous conduit flap (RSCF). Modified reverse saphenous conduit flaps were harvested bilaterally in 11 experimental dogs. Each flap was based on preservation of either the cranial or caudal branch of the medial saphenous artery and vein, but not both. In five dogs, flaps were elevated from a medial femoral donor site and subsequently sutured into their normal anatomical positions (orthotopic flap). Four of five orthotopic flaps based on the cranial saphenous vessels and three of five orthotopic flaps based on the caudal saphenous vessels survived in their entirety. Orthotopic flaps demonstrated an “all or none” survival pattern. In the second phase, flaps were elevated bilaterally from a medial femoral donor site and transferred to a metatarsal skin defect using a bridging incision in six dogs (heterotopic flaps). Two of six heterotopic flaps, based on the cranial saphenous vessels and two of six based on the caudal saphenous vessels, survived in their entirety. Three flaps, based on the cranial pedicle and two flaps based on a caudal pedicle, experienced partial survival. One flap based on the cranial pedicle and two flaps based on the caudal pedicle experienced total flop failure. Survival of the modified reverse saphenous conduit flap, as described herein, is inconsistent and, therefore, its use cannot be recommended. Additionally, the results suggest that the reverse saphenous conduit flap should be used with caution in cases where trauma or surgery has embarrassed the integrity of either the cranial or caudal vascular branch.
