A novel technique was developed to deliver a bolus dose of a DNA label into the peritoneal cavity of fetal sheep at 85–130 days gestation. Use of markers to identify the site of injection in fetuses from litters up to quadruplets, and immunohistochemistry to detect the DNA label, 5-bromo-2¢-deoxyuridine (BrdU), confirmed the procedure was successful in 85% of cases. Duration of the procedure was (mean SD) 44 16 min, and recovery from anaesthesia was rapid and uneventful in all cases. Fetal weight was estimated with a high degree of accuracy (residual standard deviation (RSD) = 297 g and r 2 = 0.93, P<0.001) and the dose of label administered (110 33 mg BrdU/kg fetal weight) was adequate in all cases. BrdU detected in fetal nuclei following injection into amniotic fluid highlights the need for positive identification of the injection site in timed, short-term studies, and suggests potential to further develop the technique to investigate cellular events in fetal sheep younger than 85 days of gestation. The results demonstrate that the procedure can be used to determine in vivo whether or not nuclei have entered the S-phase of the cell cycle.

Background: Excision of nonpalpable breast lesions requires intraoperative guidance. Wire-guided localization and intraoperative ultrasounds have been used successfully but suffer from some disadvantages. We describe a new modification of the standard technique using a combination of preoperative ultrasound in conjunction with standard wire-guided localization. Methods: Wire and ultrasound-guided localization (WUGL) technique was used for the excision of nonpalpable breast lesions. Results: Sixty-nine patients with nonpalpable breast lesions were subjected to excision using WUGL, out of whom 63 patients had a preoperative diagnosis of invasive/noninvasive breast cancer. Six patients had a preoperative diagnosis of benign lesions, out of which 3 patients were converted to invasive breast cancer on final pathology. Only 1 patient had positive margin. Conclusions: WUGL is a technique that uses a combination of well-accepted and easily available techniques. It has given good results and has the potential for widespread acceptance in resource-constrained situations.
