Secretory Function

SUMMARY A new method for obtaining thyroid venous blood from an essentially undisturbed ewe has been developed. A lobe of the thyroid gland is transferred to the outside of the neck, in a carotid artery—jugular vein loop. The remaining lobe is removed. The secretory function of the exteriorized lobe has been shown to be normal by 131I studies, measurement of protein bound iodine, response to T.S.H. and histological examination. Cannulation of the jugular vein near the thyroid vein allows continuous or interrupted sampling of thyroid venous blood, the jugular flow being occluded by pressure.

Perfused Kidney

Isolated dog kidneys were perfused with blood supplied from the carotid artery and returned to the jugular vein. The kidneys were enclosed in a rigid fluid-filled box. When the circulation was temporarily interrupted, about half the estimated total volume of intrarenal blood could be expelled by forcing fluid into the box. Hematocrits of the expressed blood were only slightly lower than hematocrits of arterial and venous blood samples taken during perfusion.

Serial Measurements

Serial measurements of CBF and metabolism require multiple cerebral venous blood samples. Retrograde catheterization of the right internal jugular vein is easily performed at a point 2.5–3 cm lateral to, and 2 cm above, the medial end of the right clavicula. Complications are few and minor. In 1/80 (1.25%) cases the carotid artery was punctured during cannulation. Insertion of the catheter for 16–18 cm reduces contamination with extracerebral blood to a minimum.

Therapeutic Considerations

Failures of descent of the medial anlage of the thyroid and incomplete obliteration of its vertical tract lead to midline or near-midline ectopias such as lingual thyroid and thyroglossal cysts. Each poses special diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. “Ectopias” of the thyroid gland lateral to the carotid artery and jugular vein, however, cannot be readily explained by current embryological information. In these instances, and especially for intranodal thyroid tissue, a metastasis from an occult thyroid primary is the mandatory first consideration.

AbstractA 36-year-old male with a primary chondroid is presented. This tumour arose from the base of the temporal bone and extended to the mastoid cavity. It involved the facial nerve and was adherent to the internal jugular vein and internal carotid artery. The tumour was excised and the patient has been carefully followed up for 10 years. He has shown no evidence of local recurrence, intracranial extension of the residual tumour and distant metastasis.

Clinical Impairment

Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) prostheses were implanted in 12 sheep as a shunt between the carotid artery and the jugular vein using an end-to-side anastomosis technique. This technique allows repeated tests of the pharmacological and toxicological safety of artificial kidney units after both single and multiple administration. Further-more, it enables the investigation of detoxification of compounds via dialysis, thus contributing to drug safety. Implantation of the prosthesis was uncomplicated. Connection to the extracorporeal circulation was achieved via catheters and maintained using a pump with an output of up to 300 ml/min. This enabled maintenance of extracorporeal circulation for several hours without clinical impairment to the animals. The AV-shunts remained functional for between 8 and 253 days (mean 112·3 days).

Content Type

✓ The authors report a case of a 45-year-old woman with pulsatile tinnitus who was found to have an unusual spontaneous fistula between the petrous internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein. The fistula resolved spontaneously, possibly related to daily manual compression of the ipsilateral common carotid artery. The patient also had a contralateral carotid artery dissection, multiple intracranial arachnoid cysts, and hemifacial atrophy. Her medical history was significant for easy bruisibility, abnormal scarring, and mitral valve prolapse. This association appears unique and may represent a previously undescribed generalized connective tissue disorder.
