    Notes: Abstract Our aim was to establish the normal range of MRI findings after successful lumbar discectomy. We prospectively examined 34 consecutive patients with an excellent clinical outcome by MRI 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery. All examinations included sagittal and axial spin-echo (SE) T1-weighted images before and after intravenous gadolinium-DTPA and fast SE T2-weighted images. Contrast enhancement along the surgical tract was seen in all patients 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery. After 6 months minimal or no mass effect on the dural sac by epidural scar was seen. In 20 % of patients there was recurrent disc herniation, with mass effect. Enhancing nerve roots were seen in 20 % of patients 6 weeks postoperatively, and half of these were associated with recurrent disc herniation at the same side. None of these patients still showed nerve root enhancement 6 months after surgery. Postoperative MRI studies must be interpreted with great care since the features described in the failed back surgery syndrome are also found, to some extent, in asymptomatic postoperative patients.

    Natural convection in partially cooled tilted cavities (1998)
    Chichester : Wiley-Blackwell
    International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids 28 (1998), S. 477-499

    Notes: Two-dimensional numerical simulations of laminar natural convection in a partially cooled, differentially heated inclined cavities are performed. One of the cavity walls is entirely heated to a uniformly high temperature (heat source) while the opposite wall is partially cooled to a lower temperature (heat sink). The remaining walls are adiabatic. The tilt angle of the cavity is varied from 0° (heated from left) to -90° (heated from top). The fast false implicit transient scheme (FITS) algorithm, developed earlier by the same authors, is modified to solve the derived variables vorticity-streamfunction formulation. The effects of aspect ratio (AR), sink-source ratio and tilt angle on the average Nusselt number are examined through a parametric study; solutions are obtained for two Grashof numbers, 105 and 107. Flow patterns and isotherms are used to investigate the heat transfer and fluid flow mechanisms inside the cavity. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Abstract The authors describe an extremely rare presentation of congenital infantile myofibromatosis. A full-term newborn boy presented with a thumb-sized subcutaneous mass on the mid-spinal line between the 2nd and 3rd lumbar spinous processes. A solid tumor arising from the interspinous ligament was resected. Microscopic and immunohistochemical studies revealed myofibromatosis.

    Notes: Abstract We recently encountered two large intrasellar arachnoid cysts extending to the suprasellar region. The intensity of the cyst contents was identical to that of the cerebrospinal fluid on both T 1- and T 2-weighted MRI. On contrast-enhanced MRI, the pituitary gland was compressed posteroinferiorly and flattened in the sella turcica. In this report of rare intrasellar arachnoid cysts the discussion is focused on dislocation of the pituitary gland.

    Effects of morphine on different aspects of social play in juvenile rats (1995)
    Springer
    Psychopharmacology 117 (1995), S. 225-231 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-2072

    Notes: Abstract To clarify the influence of opioids on social play, the effects of morphine on playful and non-playful social behavior in juvenile rats was investigated under different conditions. Environmental variables employed were different (dim and intense) levels of illumination during testing, familiarity to the test cage, and different periods of social isolation prior to testing. Under dim light conditions, morphine markedly increased playful social behavior, such as pinning, boxing/wrestling and following/chasing, whereas non-playful social behavior such as social exploration and contact behavior was hardly affected. This effect of morphine was independent of duration of previous isolation and dose-dependent, with a maximal effect at 1.0 mg/kg. The mechanism of this effect is interpreted as an action on the rewarding aspects of play. A dose of 0.1 mg/kg of morphine abolished the initial suppression of play induced by unfamiliarity to the test cage, without influencing total levels of play. This may be an effect of morphine on the integration of sensory stimuli. Under intense light conditions, where playful behavior was completely suppressed, morphine itself hardly affected such behavior, but decreased some aspects of non-playful social behavior. These results suggest that in juvenile rats playful and non-playful forms of social behavior are differentially regulated. In addition, opioid systems may be involved at different levels in the regulation of social play.

    Cell deletion by apoptosis during regression of rat parotid sialadenosis (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Enlargement of the rat parotid salivary glands was induced by repeated administration of isoproterenol. Mean wet weights of the treated glands increased steadily to 240% of control values. Following withdrawal of the drug, quantitative histological techniques were used to investigate the balance between hypertrophy, hyperplasia and apoptosis. The volume occupied by acinar cells relative to the total gland volume together with cytoplasmic|:|nuclear area ratios as measures of hypertrophy increased during the early experimental period. Similarly, serous acinar cell mitotic counts increased, indicating that hyperplasia had occurred. Apoptosis was demonstrated at light microscopical level to be the main mechanism for cell deletion as the glands returned to normal size and weight. The results indicate that hypertrophy and hyperplasia of serous acinar cells contribute to isoproterenol-induced sialadenosis. The experimental animal model demonstrates that these proliferative changes are completed by 48 h and thereafter are balanced by apoptosis as the glands recover their normal size and weight.

    Peroxisomes and Hepatotoxicity (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles of eukaryotic cells and are present in significant amounts in hepatic liver cells. Peroxisomal enzymes contribute to several metabolic pathways including fatty acid, purine and amino acid catabolism or bile acid synthesis. The peroxisomal oxidative reactions produce hydrogen peroxide, mostly degraded by catalase which prevents oxidative stress. Moreover, peroxisomes are involved in arylderivative drug detoxification through its epoxide hydrolase activity. In rodents the exposure of cells to xenobiotic compounds such as fibrates, phthalates/adipates and chlorophenoxyacetic acid derivatives, which are used as hypolipaemic drugs, plasticizers and pesticides respectively, lead to a liver mass increase and to a high peroxisome proliferation. This latter event is due to a strong genetic activation triggered by the PPAR (peroxisome proliferator activated nuclear receptor). Human contrasts with rodent since there is no, or little, effect of the above cited compounds. In contrast, the defect of single or multiple peroxisomal functions caused by genetic disorders lead to an increase of very long chain fatty acid level, which is toxic, especially for brain and kidney. The liver response to xenobiotics of the peroxisome proliferator class may be modulated by auxiliary compounds such as hormones (e.g. thyroid hormone) or nutriments (e.g. retinoids).
