Severe Fibrosis

Subtotal cholecystectomy has been carried out in 34 patients from 1972 to 1992. In the same period 1620 total cholecystectomies were performed. The indications were severe inflammation and/or severe fibrosis in 31 patients, and Mirizzi syndrome type in 3 patients. The morbidity was insignificant, but one patient died, due to severe sepsis. In follow up studies ranging from 6 months to 9 years, there was one patient with retained stones in the common bile duct. No other post cholecystectomy sequelae were noticed in the remaining 32 patients. Subtotal cholecystectomy is a safe, feasible and definitive operation in patients for whom the standard operation could be dangerous. This operation is less burdensome to the patient, and is accompanied by fewer complications than ordinary cholecystostomy.

Cholecystocolic Fistula

The Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is an impacted stone in the cystic duct or Hartmann’s pouch that mechanically obstructs the common bile duct (CBD). We would like to report laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (SC) and resection of cholecystocolic fistula by the help of Tri-Staple™in a case with type V MS and cholecystocolic fistula, for first time in the literature. A 24-year-old man was admitted to emergency department with the complaint of abdominal pain, intermittent fever, jaundice, and diarrhea. Two months ago with the same complaint, ERCP was performed. Laparoscopic resection of cholecystocolic fistula and subtotal cholecystectomy were performed by the help of Tri-Staple. At the eight-month follow-up, he was symptom-free with normal liver function tests. In a patient with type V MS and cholecystocolic fistula, laparoscopic resection of cholecystocolic fistula and SC can be performed by using Tri-Staple safely.

On 09 June 2015, a Common Water Monitor Varanus salvator (Laurenti, 1768) was observed and photographed (Image 1) on the campus of Banmaw University, Banmaw (Bhamo), Kachin State, Myanmar (24018’15”N & 97015’52”E).  Subsequently, a second individual was observed 140km to the west at Banmauk, Sagaing Division (24024’N & 95051’E). These two observations are the first records of Varanus salvator from Upper Myanmar since Anderson (1878). It would be interesting to conduct follow-up studies to determine whether this is indeed a relict northern population.

Mechanical drive is commonly applied to mechanical engineering, and also is often used as the transfer power of mechanical equipment or a basic form of normal motion. Meshing drive is an important component of the mechanical drive system, gear is the core component of the meshing drive, and the efficiency of the meshing drive can be greatly destroyed by gear failure. In this paper, the characteristics of meshing drive is first introduced, and then the common gear failure forms are analyzed,and accordingly the methods of improving the processing technology of gear components are proposed. It is expected that the follow-up studies can be helped and inspired by this paper.

This study reports the differences in evolution and course of multiple pseudoaneurysms (PAs) and an axillary arteriovenous fistula (AVF) after penetrating vascular trauma due to shotgun injury to the head and neck. We describe the unusual case of a young man who, following penetrating shotgun injuries to the head and neck, developed multiple PAs of the common carotid, vertebral and superficial temporal arteries as well as an axillary AVF. Serial angiographic follow-up studies documented differences in time of occurrence, evolution and course of these lesions. This allowed for tailored management using endovascular (AVF, superficial temporal artery PAs) and conservative (carotid and vertebral PAs) treatment. No complication occurred and complete cure of all lesions was achieved and documented after seven months. Time of occurrence, evolution and regression of penetrating vascular injuries can differ significantly even in the same patient. Close angiographic follow-up helps not only detect a lesion with delayed occurrence, but also provides a practical basis for decision-making for optimal therapeutic management.

Abstract. Background: The beneficial effect of statin therapy on the progress of atherosclerotic disease has been demonstrated by numerous studies. Vascular strain imaging is an arising method to evaluate arterial stiffness. Our study examined whether an influence of statin therapy on the vessel wall could be detected by vascular strain imaging. Patients and methods: 88 patients with recently detected atherosclerosis underwent an angiological examination including ankle-brachial index (ABI), pulse wave index (PWI), central puls ewave velocity and duplex ultrasound. Captures for vascular strain analysis were taken in B-mode during ultrasound examination of the common carotid artery and evaluated using a workstation equipped with a speckle tracking based software. A statin therapy was recommended and after six months a follow-up examination took place. Meanwhile, the non-adherence of a group of patients (N = 18) lead to a possibility to observe statin effects on the vascular strain. Results: In the statin non-adherent group the ABI decreased significantly to a still non-pathological level (1.2 ± 0.2 vs. 1.0 ± 0.2; p = 0.016) whereas it stagnated in the adherent group (1.0 ± 0.2 vs. 1.0 ± 0.2; p = 0.383). The PWI did not differ in the non-adherent group (180.5 ± 71.9 vs. 164.4 ± 75.8; p = 0.436) but under statin therapy it decreased significantly (261.8 ± 238.6 vs. 196.4 ± 137.4; p = 0.016). In comparison to the adherent group (4.2 ± 2.0 vs. 4.0 ± 1.8; p = 0.548) under statin therapy the radial strain decreased significantly in the non-adherent group (4.7 ± 2.0 vs. 3.3 ± 1.1; p = 0.014). Conclusions: Our findings reveal a beneficial influence of statin therapy on the arterial wall detected by vascular strain analysis.

Results of 606 equilibrium radionuclide ventriculographies (ERNV) performed in 348 non-selected patients receiving Adriamycin (ADM) therapy were stored in a data base system. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of a potential cardiotoxic therapy on left ventricular pump function. Increasing ADM doses yielded a significant (p <0.05) decrease of the resting ejection fraction (R-gEF), the peak ejection rate and the peak filling rate. Enddiastolic and endsystolic volumes increased significantly. Stroke volume, heart rate and time to peak filling rate did not change significantly. 368 follow-up studies were performed in 128 patients: 65/128 patients presented a decrease of R-gEF, but only in 45 of these patients R-gEF values fell into the pathologic range. In 44 of these follow-ups, R-gEF remained unchanged. In 19 patients, a R-gEF increase was observed. At the beginning of ADM therapy 14% of the patients had subnormal R-gEF values. With increasing ADM doses pathologic findings increased to 86% in patients with ADM doses higher than 500 mg/m2.

Synthesis And Biological Evaluation

The lipoxazolidinone family of marine natural products, with an unusual 4-oxazolidinone heterocycle at their core, represents a new scaffold for antimicrobial discovery; however, questions regarding their mechanism of action and high lipophilicity have likely slowed follow-up studies. Herein, we report the first synthesis of lipoxazolidinone A, 15 structural analogs to explore its active pharmacophore, and initial resistance and mechanism of action studies. These results suggest that 4-oxazolidinones are valuable scaffolds for antimicrobial development and reveal simplified lead compounds for further optimization.
