RESUMO

1. To determine the biological effects of 23 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 3,4,3',4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl, the dose-response studies of the induction of CYP1-dependent xenobiotic oxidation activities by these chemicals in liver microsomes of C57BL/6J mice were studied. 2. In arylhydrocarbon-responsive C57BL/6J mice, the liver microsomal xenobiotic oxidation with substrates of 7-ethoxyresorufin, 7-ethoxycoumarin, (+/-)-benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol, dibenzo[a, pyrene-11,12-diol and 2-amino-3,5-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline increased by increasing the doses of PAHs to mice, particularly when the PAHs that have been reported to be carcinogenic in experimental animals were used. In arylhydrocarbon receptor-knockout mice, there were no increases in liver microsomal 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation activities nor in liver mRNA levels of CYP1A1, 1A2 and 1B1 by these chemicals. 3. Of the chemicals examined, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[j]-fluoranthene, 3-methylcholanthrene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene, dibenz[a,c]anthracene and 3,4,3',4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl were potent inducers of the induction of liver microsomal 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation in mice. 4. Other PAHs such as 5-methylchrysene, benzo[a]pyrene, dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, dibenz[a,j]acridine, benzo[a]anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene moderately induced 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation activities in mice. PAHs reported to be weak or less carcinogenic in experimental animals did not induce the xenobiotic oxidation activities of CYP1A1 and 1B1 in the mice. 5. The results suggest that induction of liver microsomal CYP1-dependent xenobiotic oxidation activities is a good tool in determining the potencies of carcinogenic PAHs in arylhydrocarbon-responsive C57BL/6J mice.

RESUMO

We investigated changes of the blood pressure in 29 stroke patients before stroke recurrence and after recurrence. Additional antihypertensive drugs were not administered to all patients after stroke recurrence. Twenty-five lacunar infarct patients and 4 atherothrombotic infarct patients were included in this study. A significant difference was observed between the systolic blood pressure(SBP) within 4 weeks before recurrence and that just after recurrence(132.8 +/- 17.2 mmHg vs. 157.4 +/- 21.3 mmHg, Wilcoxon rank sum test, p < 0.001), or between the SBP just after and 2 weeks after stroke recurrence(157.4 +/- 21.3 mmHg vs. 138.0 +/- 18.3 mmHg, Wilcoxon rank sum test, p < 0.001). The similar difference was found in the diastolic blood pressure(DBP) or in the mean arterial blood pressure(MABP). There was no significant difference in the SBP, the DBP or the MABP between the patients before and 2 weeks after the stroke recurrence. These results suggested that the elevation of the blood pressure at recurrence decreased spontaneously to the pre-recurrence level of the blood pressure in about 2 weeks.

RESUMO

Three cases of rare intra-abdominal complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) surgery are reported. Case 1 was a 32-year-old male who had undergone VPS surgery for hydrocephalus following meningitis on July 10, 1980. Two weeks later he developed fever and a cystic mass about 10 cm in diameter in the right hypochondrium. Shuntography and a barium enema study demonstrated a pseudocyst at the distal end of the shunt. The cyst wall was excised, the peritoneal tube removed, and VPS converted to a ventriculoatrial route following which the pseudocyst resolved. Case 2 was a 49-year-old female who developed hydrocephalus following subarachnoid hemorrhage, and VPS surgery was performed on March 10, 1989. Two weeks later, she developed fever and right upper abdominal pain. Abdominal x-ray and CT scan revealed a right subdiaphragmatic abscess. The abscess was drained and the shunt system was removed on April 4. VPS was placed again on April 21 without further complications. She was symptom free for the next 7 years. Case 3 was a 57-year-old female who presented in a semicomatose state after falling from bed on May 5, 1995. CT scan showed left-sided acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) for which surgery was performed. Her neurological status improved postoperatively. She eventually developed hydrocephalus and left-sided subdural effusion for which right VPS and left subduroperitoneal shunt (SPS) surgery was performed on January 25, 1996. The peritoneal end of the tube of the SPS protruded out of the anus one and a half year after shunt placement. The entire SPS system was removed as there was no more collection in the subdural space. We reviewed the literature and discussed the pathophysiology involved in the development of intraabdominal complications following VPS.

RESUMO

We report on a 55-year-old male with an internal carotid artery aneurysm at the level of the second cervical vertebra. Since ant-coagulation therapy failed to prevent the ischemic attack, aneurysmectomy with arterial reconstruction was performed. Vertical mandibular osteotomy allowed a wide working space in deep operative field. This technique is considered to be useful in surgery for aneurysms of the extracranial distal internal carotid artery.
