What Is the Possible Impact of High Variability of Distal Femoral Geometry on TKA? A CT Data Analysis of 24,042 Knees

The variability level of the ISSR (inter-simple sequences repeat) primer (GACA)4 was examined in the three Lepidoptera families Pyralidae, Sphingidae and Pieridae. Our study shows that the tetra-repeat (GACA)n is evidently present in sufficient numbers in these butterflies to provide informative DNA fingerprints. The variability is mostly rather high, but within a comparable range to other ISSR studies. Although less polymorphisms may be encountered in some butterfly families, this study indicates that high variability of this marker may be a common characteristic of Lepidoptera genomes. An appeal for a minimal level of standardization of ISSR-PCR data analysis is formulated to enable an exact comparison between the groups of organisms studied with this fingerprint technique.

P197 Background: Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) has attracted interest as a neuroprotective agent during cerebral ischemia. Passage of Mg ion into the CNS has been poorly examined. The present study assessed the passage of ionized (physiologically-active)Mg into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with intracranial hypertension after MgSO4 infusion. Design: After IRB approval, patients requiring CSF drainage received IV MgSO 4 (5g)in 125 cc NS over 30 min. Plasma and CSF samples were taken hourly for 4 hrs. Intraventricular catheter placement was confirmed by CT. Data analysis involved ANOVA followed by Dunnet’s post hoc test for a significant F statistic (p < 0.05). Results: Nine patients (5/4, male/female; mean age=52) with closed head injury (n=3), subarachnoid hemorrhage (n=2), intracerebral hemorrhage (n=2), hydrocephalus (n=1), and subdural hematoma (n=1) were studied. Mean (±SD)Mg values are presented (table). Baseline Mg was higher in CSF. Although plasma Mg increased, CSF Mg was unchanged. Conclusions: Although the CSF to plasma Mg gradient is maintained in patients with intracranial hypertension, intravenous infusion of 5g MgSO4 does not further increase CSF Mg. This suggests systemic infusion of MgSO4 may not be an effective route of administration for neuroprotection.
