    Notes: Summary A group of 94 male and 12 female patients who all suffered from ACL ruptures had a follow-up examination after a period of 14 to 21 years (m = 17.2 years). Each of them had undergone a primary arthrotomy with total or partial meniscectomy. In none of the cases, however, had operative repair of the ACL rupture been performed. The most frequent concomitant injury was a torn medial meniscus which occurred in 74.5% of the cases whereas a damaged lateral meniscus was found in 17.0% of the cases only. Chondromalacia of tibia, femur or patella was observed in 42.5% of the cases. Over 60% of the patients resumed their former sports activities, although in nearly 30% of these cases at a lower level whereas one third of the patients had to practice some other sport or were even forced to give up sports completely. 61.3% still complained about instability of the knee joint, 73.6% of the patients with partial or total meniscectomy had developed osteoarthritis of grade III and IV.

    Notes: Abstract The cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effects of high-energy pulsed ultrasound (HEPUS) on human squamous cell carcinoma cells cloned from the hypopharynx (FaDu) and benign connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) were investigated in vitro. Sonication was carried out using an experimental piezoelectric, self-focusing burst-signal transducer. To increase the induction of cavitation, the transducer used was specifically designed to produce multiple oscillations with a high negative pressure amplitude. In both cell lines tested, the application of 100, 800 and 2000 pulses resulted in a high reduction of vital cells. After 2000 pulses, 4.0 ± 1.1% of the fibroblasts but only 2.0 ± 0.4% of the FaDu cells survived HEPUS exposure. A postexposure inhibiting effect of HEPUS for 10 days on the proliferation of surviving cells was noted for the FaDu cells exposed to 2000 pulses, but not as much for the fibroblasts. These findings support the hypothesis that human squamous cell carcinoma cells of the hypopharynx might be more sensitive to HEPUS than fibroblasts and that total tumor cell ablation might be possible in vitro given a sufficient number of HEPUS pulses.
