    Notes: Abstract A study was undertaken to assess the incidence of inflammation and dysplasia in retained mucosa after double-stapled ileoanal reservoir (IAR) for mucosal ulcerative colitis (MUC). Between September 1988 and February 1992, 56 patients with MUC underwent an IAR. Forty-five patients had a double-stapled IAR (DS-IAR), seven patients had a transanal pursestring stapled IAR (PS-IAR), and four patients had a PS-IAR with mucosectomy. Distal donuts obtained from the stapled IAR were submitted for pathologic review in 55 patients. Nine patients had only small bowel, connective tissue, and/or muscle noted on review. Mucosa was qualified as squamous epithelium (SE), transitional epithelium (TE), or columnar epithelium (CE). All samples were examined for evidence of inflammation and dysplasia. Four patients had SE only, one patient had TE, and 18 had CE. In addition, three patients had SE and CE, seven patients had SE and TE, two patients had CE and TE, and nine patients had all three types. The distance from the dentate line to the anastomosis ranged from 0 to 2.5 cm (mean, 1 cm). In 19 patients (35 percent), the distal donut revealed MUC. Of these 19 patients, six had persistent MUC (43 percent) at the time of subsequent biopsy. An additional four patients had MUC evident on follow-up biopsy but not on distal donuts; two of these four patients had no mucosa in their distal donuts. Only one of the patients with evidence of MUC on donuts and/or biopsy experienced any symptoms referable to active MUC (1.8 percent). None of the specimens examined had any evidence of dysplasia. In 31 patients, no MUC was present in the initial donuts or follow-up biopsies. Although the double-stapled technique appears safe, periodic monitoring is suggested.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: Impairment of sphincter function in patients who undergo ileoanal reservoir is usually most severe immediately after ileostomy closure. Therefore, a prospective, randomized trial was undertaken to assess the potential value of preileostomy closure sphincter-strengthening exercises to improve early functional outcome. METHODS: Patients were randomized either to a control group (Group 1) or to undergo a five-week pelvic floor exercise program (Group 2). An incontinence score from 0 to 20 was used to clinically assess the functional results. Anorectal manometric assessment included: highpressure zone length, mean resting pressure, highest resting pressure, mean squeezing pressure, and highest squeezing pressure. The paired t-test was used to compare the functional results preoperatively and at the time of ileostomy closure. This time corresponded to the conclusion of the exercise program or the equivalent time period for the control group. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients who underwent double-stapled ileoanal reservoir between July 1991 and June 1992 were studied. They included 16 males and 10 females with a mean age of 38 (range, 17–69) years. When both evaluations were compared, the mean incontinence score decreased from 0.2 to 2.8 (Δ=2.6) in Group 1 and from 0.2 to 2.0 (Δ = 1.8) in Group 2 (P=0.07). None of the changes between the preoperative and postoperative clinical and physiologic evaluations were statistically significant (P〉0.05). CONCLUSION: Sphincter-strengthening exercises before ileostomy closure did not minimize the transient impairment of functional results.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to postoperatively assess the progression of anal sphincter function and clinical outcome in patients ≥50 years old (Group I) compared with those 〈50 years old (Group II). METHODS: Clinical data were assessed after ileostomy closure by a questionnaire. These data were compiled to obtain an incontinence score, which ranged from 0 (perfect continence) to 20 (total incontinence). Anorectal manometry was performed preoperatively (MN1) and postoperatively, before (MN2) and after (MN3) ileostomy closure. Wilcoxon and paired t-test were used to compare the clinical and functional results, respectively. RESULTS: Group I consisted of 22 patients (mean age, 56 years) and Group II, 50 patients (mean age, 32 years). No differences were found relative to either preoperative pressures or clinical outcome. However, both the mean and high resting pressures were significantly lower in Group I at the MN2 examination. CONCLUSION: The effect on anal sphincters of ileoanal reservoir in patients over the age of 50 years is similar to that noted in younger patients. Transient impairment of internal anal sphincter function observed after ileoanal reservoir is more severe in older patients (P=0.01). However, as in younger patients, it does completely recover after ileostomy closure.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this study was to prospectively assess the impact of laparoscopy upon the outcome of total abdominal colectomy (TAC). Specifically, patients underwent standard laparotomy with TAC and ileoproctostomy (TAC + IP), TAC and ileoanal reservoir (TAC + IAR), laparoscopically assisted TAC + IP (L-TAC + IP), or laparoscopically assisted TAC + IAR (L-TAC + IAR). Parameters studied included the length of surgery, length of ileus, length of hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality. Five patients underwent standard TAC (Group I), and five underwent L-TAC (Group II). Group I consisted of five patients of a mean age of 32 (range, 24–51) years who had mucosal ulcerative colitis (n=1), familial adenomatous polyposis (n=3), or colonic inertia (n=1). Group II consisted of five patients of a mean age of 33 (range, 17–43) years who had mucosal ulcerative colitis (n=1), familial adenomatous polyposis (n=3), or colonic inertia (n=1). This preliminary prospective study indicates that laparoscopically assisted TAC is feasible. L-TAC resulted in a slightly longer length of ileus and length of hospitalization; these differences were not statistically significant. Moreover, the length of time required for the laparoscopic procedures was 35 percent longer than for the open procedures. Although these results may improve as more cases are performed, dramatic differences in rates of postoperative recovery have not yet been realized. In conclusion, L-TAC, while technically feasible, dose not appear to offer any immediately recognizable benefits to the patient as compared with standard laparotomy.

    Notes: Molecular modelling of β-cyclodextrin and optimisation of its potential energy suggests that a favoured conformation is that distorted from a symmetrical torus. The inclusion of water molecules into the torus cavity simulates the increased stability in an aqueous solvent. Complexes of β-cyclodextrin with (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of methylphenobarbitone have been modelled and energetically optimised by the application of molecular mechanics. The simulations suggests that the guest molecules adopt an orientation in which the phenyl ring is projected into the torus cavity, with in each case the plane of the ring parallel to a longer axis of the distorted torus and slightly displaced from the axis through the torus cavity. It is suggested that the asymmetry in the macrocyclic ring contributes to chiral recognition as a result of additional discriminatory binding to the barbiturate ring residue of each enantiomer, which occupy different 3D geometries. The enantiomers form complexes of different minimum potential energies. The resulting difference in complex stability can be related to the behaviour of β-cyclodextrin, as a mobile phase additive in reverse-phase HPLC to effect chiral separation of rac-medthylphenobarbitone during chromatography. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: 1H nuclear magnetic resonance at 360 MHz shows that SK&F 96365 (1-{β-[3-(p-methoxyphenyl)-propyloxy]-p-methoxyphenethyl}-1H- imidazole hydrochloride), an antagonist of mammalian receptor-operated calcium channels, interacts with the calcium-binding regulatory protein calmodulin (CaM). This may be inferred by a number of chemical shift changes in the spectrum of the calcium-saturated protein induced by addition of the compound. Moreover, two well-resolved singlets corresponding to the 2-proton of the SK&F 96365 imidazolium moiety are observed in the spectrum over a wide range of protein:compound ratios. Separation of rac SK&F 96365 into its two enantiomers by high-performance liquid chromatography on a cellulose tris (4-methylbenzoate) column enabled us to show that the doubling of this NMR signal in the presence of CaM is due to a propensity of the protein to distinguish between the two optical isomers of the compound.

    Notes: β-Cyclodextrin and its derivatives have been utilised to effect chiral separation in HPLC and CZE, both as stationary phases and mobile phase additives. The basis of the method is assumed to depend upon the formation of inclusion complexes of differing stabilities between enantiomeric analytes and the cyclodextrin, resulting in a differential dynamic distribution between chromatographic phases. In this study, force field calculations have been employed to model the inclusion complexes of enantiomeric brompheniramine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, ibuprofen, mandelic acid, methylphenobarbitone, and hexobarbitone with β-cyclodextrin. The resulting values for Δ(ΔH), the difference in enthalpy of complex formation between enantiomeric pairs has been compared with literature chromatographic data to explain the ability of the systems to achieve enantiomeric separations. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: For the preparation of the title compound, 4-hydroxy[2.2]paracyclophane (1) is first converted to the carbamate 2. Metalation of 2 with sec-butyllithium yields an ortho-anion which after trapping with dimethylformamide and acidic work-up provides 6 in 64% yield. Further application of the cyclophane anion include its capture by trimethylsilyl chloride to the trimethylsilyl derivative 3 (76%) and its Fries rearrangement to the phenol 4 (78%). The spectroscopic and analytical data of the new compounds are described in full detail.

    Notes: An infrared spectroscopic study of the 1 : 1 hydrogen-bond association of amidates with both methanol and 4-fluorophenol showed that the site of complexation is the oxygen of the amidate function. However the formamidate HCON2Me3 forms a second 1 : 1 complex on the nitrogen of the amidate. The formation constants of the hydrogen-bond complexes of the amidates with the reference hydrogen-bond donor 4-FC6H4OH indicate that the amidates are stronger hydrogen-bond bases than are amides and amide vinylogues. As such, the amidates constitute the strongest carbonyl bases hitherto investigated on the hydrogen-bond basicity scale.
