Context: Complications after immediate breast reconstruction pose a significant challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Known risk factors include smoking, obesity, age, and adjuvant oncologic therapies. Less is known about the association between axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and the development of postoperative complications.', 'We conducted a retrospective study of all patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy at our institution over a 10-year period. Our outcome was an occurrence of a major complication within 90 days postoperatively. For each patient, we recorded data on demographics, smoking status, pertinent medical history, reconstruction type, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation, tumor pathology, and whether an ALND was performed. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated to estimate the risk of a complication if an ALND was performed.', 'One hundred eighty-four women, with 270 surgically treated breasts, were identified as having mastectomy with immediate reconstruction between 2002 and 2012. Mean age was 49.4 years (range, 25-84 years). There were 71 mastectomies with ALND performed, with 22 complications, and 199 mastectomies without ALND, with 20 complications (31% complication rate vs 10%, respectively; OR, 3.84; P < 0.001). When adjusted for reconstruction type, smoking history, obesity, age, presence of invasive disease, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, the OR for complications was 3.49 (P < 0.01). The most common complication was infection in both groups.
Answer: Mastectomy with ALND is associated with a 3-fold increase in risk of major complications in women undergoing immediate breast reconstruction, even after adjustment for known risk factors and confounders. Further studies are warranted to elucidate how ALND leads to these complications and what measures can reduce their occurrence.

Context: Evidence suggests that induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inhibits proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and intimal thickening after arterial injury, and therapeutic molecules induce HO-1. Probucol is the only oral drug that inhibits restenosis in humans and intimal thickening in animals, although its underlying mechanism remains unclear.', 'Aortas were harvested from New Zealand White rabbits fed normal or 0.75% (wt/wt) probucol-fortified chow, with or without endothelial denudation of the abdominal aorta on day 21, and analyzed for heme oxygenase and apoptosis. Uninjured aortas were harvested on day 21 and balloon-injured aortas on days 22 and 25. Probucol significantly increased mRNA of HO-1 assessed by real-time PCR and HO activity in aortas at all time points. Probucol also enhanced apoptosis of medial cells in the injured aorta, as evidenced by the TUNEL assay. Furthermore, probucol (100 micromol/L) increased HO-1 mRNA and HO activity when added to rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) cultured in serum-free medium for 24 hours. Induction of HO-1 mRNA was inhibited by actinomycin D and was associated with inhibition of RASMC proliferation. This probucol-induced increase in HO-1 mRNA and inhibition of RASMC proliferation was prevented by the HO inhibitor Sn(IV) protoporphyrin or transfection with small interference RNA (siRNA) to knockdown HO-1, but not by inactive Cu(II) protoporphyrin or scrambled siRNA.
Answer: Probucol induces HO-1, and this contributes to the inhibition of vascular SMC proliferation. This novel finding may explain how probucol inhibits restenosis and highlights HO-1 as a target for therapeutic intervention against occlusive vascular disease.

Context: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the extent of the ventricular epicardial fat and its relationship with the underlying myocardium, neither of which is still completely understood.', 'A total of 117 autoptic human hearts was subdivided into four groups: normals (N), ischemics (I), hypertrophics (H) and hypertrophic-ischemics (HI). In each heart, the ventricular myocardial and epicardial fat weights were measured. On the basis of these data, the epicardial fat percentage within the ventricles was calculated.', 'The left, right and total ventricular fat weights were greater in H and HI than in N and I (P<.05, P<.05, P<.01, respectively). No differences were detected in the epicardial fat weights in comparing H versus HI and N versus I. Moreover, the fat percentage in each ventricle did not vary between the four groups. However, if compared with the right ventricle, the left ventricle showed an epicardial fat percentage consistently lower (P<.0001). In nonhypertrophied hearts (N and I), the body mass index and the total epicardial fat weight were correlated (P<.05), whereas in hypertrophied hearts (H and HI), they were not.
Answer: A constant fat-muscle ratio exists in each ventricle, which is not influenced by ischemia or hypertrophy. Accordingly, during the hypertrophic process, the ventricular fat and the underlying myocardium show a parallel and correlated increase in their masses.
