Causes of death among cirrhotic patients following portal decompression
Authors: E. D. Palmer
Journal: JAMA (1971)

One hundred and twenty-three proved cirrhotic patients were followed up until death, following surgical portal decompression. It was found that 42% died of causes that could not be directly blamed on the cirrhosis or results of the operation. Liver failure without bleeding caused 50 of the deaths, about a quarter during the first postoperative month. Seven deaths were due to variceal bleeding, and 12 followed bleeding from some other upper gastrointestinal lesion. Seven patients died of cerebral vascular accident. The frequencies of the various causes of death differed strikingly from those observed among 358 cirrhotic patients without shunts who were followed up until death during the same period.

Ureteral injuries during surgery. A review of 87 cases
Authors: C. C. Higgins
Journal: JAMA (1967)

Ureteral injuries during the course of surgical procedures within the pelvis occur more frequently than presumed. A series of 87 patients with ureteral injuries is reviewed from the standpoint of pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, end results, and prophylaxis. The ideal time for the repair of the injured ureter is at the time of operation or early in the period of convalescence. The procedure of choice is end-to-end anastomosis of the severed spatulated ends of the ureter. When this cannot be accomplished, reimplantation of the ureter into the bladder is recommended. Ligation of the proximal severed end of the ureter is rarely indicated, as a surgical procedure is now available that usually spares the kidney. Preoperative insertion of ureteral catheters as a precaution against ureteral injury is of questionable value.
Induction of rat liver parenchymal cell apoptosis by hepatic myofibroblasts via transforming growth factor beta
Authors: A GRESSNER
Journal: Hepatology (1996)

The induction of apoptosis of rat liver parenchymal cells (PC) by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta)-expressing transforming fat-storing cells (FSC), i.e., myofibroblasts (MFB), was studied under culture conditions and compared with the apoptotic effect of human recombinant TGF-beta1. MFB were obtained by subculture of FSC. The TGF-beta concentration in the conditioned medium of myofibroblast (MFBcM) determined with the Mink cell proliferation inhibition assay was <0.25 ng/mL/24 in the native medium, but 1.9 ng/mL24 h after transient acidification. MFBcM added in various dilutions and for different times to PC monolayers induced progressive cell detachment from the plastic support and increase of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the medium. The reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity in PC (XTT or WST-1 test) was an early sign of MFBcM-induced functional impairment of PC. Short term exposure of PC with MFBcM for 3 hours was sufficient to induce the deleterious effects on PC, but neither native (nonactivated) MFBcM nor conditioned medium of untransformed FSC (FSCcM), in which TGF-beta was not detectable, were able to impair function and viability of PC. Activated MFBcM increased strongly (up to 21-fold) the concentration of oligonucleosomal DNA fragments both in the adherent and detached fraction of PC. Internucleosomal DNA fragments (DNA ladder) were demonstrated by electrophoresis of extracted DNA on agarose gels and by in situ end-labeling of DNA breaks (TUNEL reaction) only in MFBcM-exposed PC. MFBcM-treated PC exhibited intense fluorescence after staining with DNA-binding dye Hoechst 33342 and an increased number of cells with fragmented nuclei. All these criteria point to MFBcM-generated apoptosis of cultured PC, which were found to be very similar to those induced by human recombinant TGF-beta1. The exclusive role of active TGF-beta in MFBcM as mediator of the apoptotic effects of MFB was proven by preincubation of the conditioned medium with human recombinant latency-associated peptide, which reversed completely MFBcM induced reduction of the XTT-test and the MFBcM-generated increase of oligonucleosomal DNA fragments. Partial reversibility was reached by preincubation of the medium with recombinant soluble type II TGF-beta receptor. The data let us conclude that transformed FSC, i.e., MFB in damaged liver, could participate in the mechanisms of PC apoptosis by paracrine loops involving TGF-beta.

Corynebacterium sepsis in oncology patients. Predisposing factors, diagnosis, and treatment
Authors: T. A. Pearson
Journal: JAMA (1977)

Bacteremia due to a newly described species of<i>Corynebacterium</i>was identified in 12 patients during a two-year period. Infection occurred after a long period of hospitalization, extended granulocytopenia, and treatment with several antibiotics. Breaks in the mucocutaneous surfaces were the origin of infection in eight patients. All patients had evidence of colonization reported by cultures before infection. The invading organism caused death in three patients. Vancomycin hydrochloride was the antibiotic of choice.<i>Corynebacterium</i>is increasingly recognized as a primary cause of morbidity and mortality of patients with tumors.

Transplantation
Authors: T. E. Starzl
Journal: JAMA (1989)

The modern era of whole organ transplantation began in 1962, when drugs were used in combination to treat patients after the technically easy operation of kidney transplantation. The simple kidney model continued for a long time to be the front-runner for advances in the four key elements of clinical transplantation, which could then be applied with minor adaptations for the extrarenal organs. The elements are (1) preservation, (2) tissue matching, (3) immunosuppression, and (4) surgical technique. This orderly progression changed within the last 10 years when the liver emerged as a focal organ of scientific inquiry. For example, the liver has been central in testing better techniques of "slush" preservation. Such methods were introduced more than two decades ago, using a potassium-rich electrolyte solution or a plasmalike solution to cool kidneys by intra-arterial infusion, followed by refrigeration in an ice chest. Cadaveric kidneys could be cooled in this way for

Gastroenterology
Authors: Sara M. Jordan, Everett D. Kiefer, S. Allen Wilkinson, Francis E. McDonough, John R. Ross, John M. McGrath
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1956)

THE subspecialty of gastroenterology continues to justify its existence as a medical entity not only because of the frequency and importance of diseases involving the digestive system but also because during the past three decades considerable progress has been made by specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disease. American gastroenterologists have been somewhat concerned with the relative paucity of investigative work in this field, but there is some current evidence that the experimental and investigative phase of gastroenterology will soon keep pace with clinical activity in this field. In November, 1955, a meeting of gastroenterologic investigators was held . . .

Nasal Drops

Journal: BMJ (1959)

<h3>Purpose</h3> To investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of accelerated transepithelial cornealcross-linking (ATE-CXL) in children with progressive keratoconus. <h3>Methods</h3> Fifty-three eyes of 41 paediatric patients (34 boys, 7 girls; mean age 14.81±1.96 years) undergoing ATE-CXL were enrolled in the study. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and manifest refraction were assessed preoperatively and 36 months postoperatively. Corneal keratometry, corneal thickness and posterior elevation were measured using Pentacam preoperatively and 1, 6, 12 and 36 months postoperatively. Pachymetry and epithelial thicknesses were measured using optical coherence tomography preoperatively and 6, 12, and 36 months postoperatively. <h3>Results</h3> Thirty-six months postoperatively, CDVA improved from 0.32±0.28 to 0.26±0.25 in logarithm of the minimum angle resolution (p=0.025). Maximum keratometry was 58.73±9.70 D preoperatively and 59.20±10.24, 58.28±9.33, 57.88±9.99 and 58.98±10.79 D at 1, 6, 12 and 36 months postoperatively throughout the 36-month follow-up period (p&gt;0.05). Similarly, corneal central thickness, which was 492.42±33.83 µm postoperatively, also remained stable during the 36-month follow-up (p&gt;0.05). Both posterior central elevation and posterior highest elevation were stable at 12 months after ATE-CXL (p&gt;0.05), but increased at 36 months postprocedure (p&lt;0.05). Corneal pachymetry and epithelial thicknesses remained stable throughout the follow-up period (p&gt;0.05). <h3>Conclusions</h3> ATE-CXL is a safe and effective treatment in paediatric progressive keratoconus patients, leading to stable keratometry and corneal thickness throughout the 36-month follow-up.
