    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.

    Notes: Summary Magnetic resonance imaging utilizing spin echo sequences was used to demonstrate cor triatriatum in an 18-year-old boy. Phase map images aided the diagnosis by demonstrating the presence of slowly flowing blood in the accessory atrial chamber. Magnetic resonance is an excellent modality for the noninvasive diagnosis of cor triatriatum.

    Notes: Abstract Cerebral white matter lesions are frequently observed on magnetic resonance imaging of elderly, nondemented persons. There is evidence that white matter lesions are involved in the pathophysiology of cognitive decline and dementia. White matter lesions can be divided into those in the periventricular and those in the subcortical region. Pathological and epidemiological studies suggest that atherosclerosis is involved in the pathogenesis of these lesions. Our study reports on the association between atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries and white matter lesions in a population-based study among 1077 elderly subjects. We randomly sampled 1077 subjects aged between 60–90 years from two prospective population-based studies. All subjects underwent ultrasonography of the carotid artery. In addition, 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging was performed; white matter lesions in the subcortical and periventricular regions were rated separately. With increasing number of plaques in the carotid artery the severity of periventricular white matter lesions increased (P trend = 0.03), but not the severity of subcortical white matter lesions (P trend = 0.19). In addition, an increase in intima media thickness was borderline significantly associated with an increased severity of periventricular white matter lesions (P trend = 0.09), but not of subcortical white matter lesions (P trend = 0.68). These findings suggest that partly dissimilar pathogenetic mechanisms are involved in the etiology of periventricular and subcortical white matter lesions.

    Notes: Bovine cumulus oocyte complexes were cultured for various periods and either denuded and orcein stained or radiolabeled with 35S-methionine or 32P-orthophosphate. Specific inhibitors were added to the culture medium to investigate mRNA and protein synthesis requirements for both nuclear and cytoplasmic changes during maturation in vitro. Inhibition of mRNA synthesis by α-amanitin during the first 2 h of culture prevented the phosphorylation of some specific proteins preceding GVBD and decreased the occurrence of GVBD from 97% to 27%. In addition, in oocytes that had undergone GVBD, only part of the changes in protein synthesis after GVBD were observed. Addition of α-amanitin after 3 h of culture had no effect on meiotic maturation. When cumulus oocyte complexes were cultured in the presence of cycloheximide, the phosphorylation of specific proteins was also blocked and only 5% of the oocytes underwent GVBD. Addition of cycloheximide after 4, 6, or 8 h of culture resulted in an increasing percentage of GVBD, but the oocytes became arrested in metaphase I. When cycloheximide was added from 12 h of culture onwards, nuclear progression to metaphase II was increasingly restored.It is concluded that after the onset of culture, both mRNA and protein synthesis are necessary for the phosphorylation of specific proteins and for GVBD. Further-more, transcription during the first hours of culture is needed for the synthesis of new proteins after GVBD.

    Notes: Bovine cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) were isolated from antral ovarian follicles (4-8 mm). Immature COCs were classified into four categories, based on the homogeneity and clearness of the ooplasm and the transparency and compactness of the cumulus investment. In this study, the incorporation of TCA-precipitable 35S-methionine and the protein synthesis patterns of oocytes of these four categories were examined. Before maturation in vitro, similar incorporation rates and identical protein synthesis patterns were observed between oocytes of categories 1-3. Immature oocytes of category 4 showed reduced incorporation rates and exhibited aberrant protein synthesis patterns. After maturation in vitro, the patterns of category 4 oocytes were identical with the patterns of those in categories 1-3. The incorporation of 35S-methionine into in vitro matured oocytes was lower (P 〈 .001) in all categories.Based on these results, it is concluded that the initial classification of oocytes into four categories can be reduced to two categories.

    Notes: To investigate protein synthesis and phosphorylation during bovine oocyte maturation in vivo, oocytes were collected at consecutive times after the preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) peak. Therefore, heifers treated for superovulation were ovariectomized between 3 and 20 h after the maximum of the LH peak. Subsequently, cumulus-enclosed oocytes, selected from nonatretic follicles 〉10 mm, were radiolabeled with 35S-methionine or 32P-orthophosphate for 3 h and individually prepared for gel electrophoresis. Changes in the protein synthesis patterns were observed coinciding with germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). No changes were detected during the ensuing maturation period or coinciding with the extrusion of the first polar body. In addition, the protein phosphorylation patterns exhibited striking differences around GVBD. In particular, a phosphoprotein band of 19 kDa and the two heavily phosphorylated proteins with apparent molecular weights between 50 and 60 kDa were present in patterns of oocytes in the germinal vesicle stage. The results are discussed in relation to previous data obtained during maturation in vitro.

    Notes: We studied the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on two markers of the osteoblast phenotype: alkaline phosphatase (AP) (activity and mRNA) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation. Osteoblast-like cells derived from fetal rat (ROB) and mouse (MOB) calvariae were isolated by collagenase treatment. Cells were cultured in α-Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) with 2% fetal calf serum (FCS) for 4 days. In ROB and MOB bPTH(1-34) induced a fast increase (up to 5 minutes) in cAMP accumulation. When equal amounts of cells were seeded, the cAMP accumulation was higher in MOB than in ROB. No difference in basal AP activity was observed between ROB and MOB. When bPTH(1-34) was added to ROB for the last 24 or 48 hr, AP activity decreased dose dependently. However, MOB treated with bPTH(1-34) for the last 24 or 48 hours showed an increase of AP activity. Basal AP activity was positively correlated with the seeding density of ROB and MOB cultures. Basal AP activity influenced the degree of inhibition (ROB) or stimulation (MOB) after incubation with bPTH(1-34). © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Abstract This study investigates the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MR) in identifying avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head and in monitoring its therapy. The detection of AVN, particularly in its early stages, is imperative to give therapeutic intervention the best opportunity for successful management. The results of magnetic resonance imaging are compared with those of the standard diagnostic modalities in evaluation of patients with the lesion. Examinations were performed at 0.12 T with a repetition time (TR) of 143 ms and times to echo (TE's) of 10 or 20 ms. This study represents a retrospective review of 90 hips which were examined in 45 consecutive patients. Of these, 52 hips were biopsied as part of treatment. MR was shown to be sensitive in the detection of AVN. Comparison of MR with radionuclide imaging showed comparable sensitivity and specificity. MR was also noted to be sensitive in the detection of early AVN. Preliminary results suggest that MR can monitor treatment of the affected hip, and may even be able to predict patient response to therapy. Although further work is necessary to determine the role of MR in the evaluation of the patient presenting with hip pain, MR is a sensitive method in detecting AVN and in monitoring its course in patients suspected of having the disease.
