    Description / Table of Contents: The thermoplastic nickel–titanium alloy Nitinol has excellent shape memory when transferred from deep-freeze temperatures to body temperature or even 45°C, which means that staples made of this material for use in internal fixation exert a lasting compressive effect after implantation. From October 1995 to January 1998 we performed 22 compression osteosynthesis operations on scaphoid bones. The indications were: dislocated fracture in 10 cases, in 6 of them with Quervain’s luxation fracture, and pseudarthroses in 12. In 10 osteosynthesis operations we used drilling wires in addition, for internal direction of the compressing force of the staples. After osteosynthesis 21 of the 22 scaphoids healed. Three clamps were removed after the bone had healed. One staple broke with the bone in an accident. Our first impressions suggest that thermoplastic Nitinol staples are ideal for compression osteosynthesis of the scaphoid bone for the treatment of displaced fractures or pseudarthroses in the middle third. Their use offers advantages over osteosynthesis with screws. Because our experience with these staples was so good we shortened the period of immobilization from 12 to 6 weeks.
    Notes: Die sog. “Formgedächtnis”-Eigenschaft der Nickel-Titan-Legierung NITINOL beim Wechsel von der Tiefkühlung zur Körperwärme bzw. 45°C gibt Klammern, die aus diesem Material und zu diesem Zweck gefertigt wurden, nach der Implantation eine dauerhaft komprimierende Wirkung. Von Oktober 1995 bis Januar 1998 führten wir 22 Osteosynthesen an Kahnbeinen durch. Die Indikationen waren: 10mal verschobene Brüche, davon 6 bei De-Quervain-Luxationsfraktur, und 12mal Falschgelenke. Bei 10 Osteosynthesen benutzten wir zusätzlich Kirschner-Drähte zur inneren Führung der komprimierenden Kraft der Klammer. 21 von 22 Osteosynthesen führten zur Heilung. 3 Klammern wurden nach der Knochenheilung entfernt. Eine Klammer brach mit dem Knochen nach einem geeigneten Trauma. Es kam zu keiner Infektion. Klammern aus NITINOL scheinen sich nach unseren ersten Erfahrungen zur Kompressionsosteosynthese an Kahnbeinen wegen verschobener Brüche und wegen Falschgelenken im mittleren Drittel zu eignen. Ihre Anwendung hat Vorteile gegenüber der Osteosynthese mit Schrauben. Aufgrund der guten Erfahrungen kürzten wir die Zeit der Ruhigstellung von 12 auf 6 Wochen.

    Notes: Abstract. The computation and understanding of quantum cohomology is a very hard problem in mathematical physics (string theory). We review in non-technical terms how, in the case of the flag manifolds, this problem can turn out to be at its core a non-trivial problem in algebraic combinatorics.

    Notes: Samenvatting In de laatste jaren wordt duidelijk gewezen op de schadelijke invloed van subnarcotische hoeveelheden vluchtige anesthetica die door anesthesie-personeel dagelijks gedurende jaren worden ingeademd. Dit in tegenstelling tot de periode hiervopr, toen alleen het risico van een narcose bij de patiënt werd bekeken. De oorzaken van de luchtverontreiniging in operatiekamers worden besproken. Als voornaamste bron van verontreiniging komt het door de patiënt uitgeademde gasmengsel in aanmerking. Dit komt geheel of gedeelteijk terecht in de atmosfeer van de operatiekamer. Ook lekkage in de anesthesie-apparatuur kan bijdragen tot de verontreiniging. Ten derde kan door een fout in de anesthesie-techniek gas ontsnappen. Om een indruk te krijgen van de verontreinigingen (voornamelijk komen de meest gebruikte anestetica halothaan en lachgas aan de orde) heeft een literatuurstudie plaatsgevonden. Uit bepalingen door gaschromatografie,Ir-spectroscopie en massaspectrometrie kan worden geconcludeerd dat de concentraties aan halothaan tussen ca. 2 tot ca. 50 ppm liggen, met enkele uitschieters naar boven. Voor lachgas worden waarden gevonden die 100-maal hoger liggen, overeenkomend met de hogere concentraties in de uitademingslucht van de patiënt. De grote spreiding in bovengenoemde concentraties kan worden verklaard door verschillen in de luchtverversing en in de anesthesie-apparatuur. Algemeen wordt nu aangenomen dat deze waarden te hoog liggen. Het National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Niosh) in de Verenigde Staten heeft in 1975 als maximumconcentratie 0,5 ppm van halothaan voorgesteld. Het is dus noodzakelijk dat de bovengenoemde concentraties van halothaan en lachgas drastisch worden verminderd. Dit kan via adsorptie met behulp van koolfilters. Daar het zeer goed mogelijk is deze koolfilters te regenereren, lijkt dit een goedkope en eenvoudig aan te brengen oplossing. Het percentage geadsorbeerd halothaan bedraagt tot 78% (lachgas wordt echter vrijwel niet geadsorbeerd). Ook afvoersystemen, die zorgen voor het opvangen en afvoeren van de overtollige anesthetica naar de buitenlucht, geven zeer goede resultaten (85–90% vermindering van de concentratie aan narcosegassen). De schadelijke gevolgen bij personeel dat chronisch is blootgesteld aan sub-anesthetische concentraties narcosegassen, worden besproken. Aan de orde komen lever- en nierbeschadigingen, teratogene afwijkingen, hematologische stoornissen, carcinogene en mutagene aspecten, psychische stoornissen en pathologische effecten op de hersenen en het optreden van spontane abortus. De vroegere opvatting dat vluchtige anesthetica niet worden gemetaboliseerd, is achterhaald. De biotransformatie van de vluchtige anesthetica is belangrijk voor hun werking als toxische substantie. Belangrijk is ook de vaststelling dat chronische blootstelling aan bijvoorbeeld halothaan en lachgas de microsomale enzymwerking stimuleert. Bij anesthetische concentraties remt halothaan zijn eigen metabolisme. Dit heeft waarschijnlijk tot gevolg dat chronische blootstelling aan sub-anesthetische concentraties narcose-gassen, zoals halothaan, ernstiger is dan acute blootstelling. De toxiciteit van vluchtige anesthetica wordt verder sterk vergroot door hun grote lipofiliteit. De verhoogde gevoeligheid van vrouwelijk anesthesie-personeel voor de schadelijke werking van de narcose-gassen, is waarschijnlijk op het bezit van een grotere hoeveelheid vetweefsel terug te voeren.

    Notes: Summary The microsurgical implantation of a saphenous vascular axis into free transplanted autologous isolated rib segments in Beagle dogs led to complete revascularization of the bone after two, three and four weeks. Indian ink and Mercox-injected specimens showed a vascular network which penetrated the entire cortical layer. Semi-thin sections revealed osteoblasts and osteoclasts visible in the canals of the revascularized cortical layer, while the control specimen without vessel implantation showed nothing but ground substance. The revascularized bones did not contain any necrotic areas. The newly formed vascular system consisted of arteries, veins and their anastomoses. The veins appeared to produce a greater number of new vessels than the arteries.

    Notes: Abstract In 78 male Wistar rats, the gracilis anterior muscles were devascularized and transplanted into the femoral region. In one experimental group, the muscles were transplanted with their innervation intact, in a second group denervated muscles were transplanted. The ipsilateral saphenous artery and vein were dissected out of their adventitia and implanted axially into the muscle graft. The entire transplant was encased in silicone foil in order to prevent neovascularization and reinnervation emanating from the host area. Neovascularization of the ischaemic innervated and denervated muscle grafts, containing approximately 300 muscle fibers, followed in a centrifugal pattern. The newly formed sinusoidal capillary network originated from the vein. Within the first four days, endothelial cells of the implanted vein had loosened their intercellular contacts, proliferated and migrated through the vascular wall into the muscle graft. The initially solid capillary sprouts opened up, starting at the lumen of the vein. Within two weeks a complete endomysial capillary network was reestablished. Possible and conceivable clinical uses of these findings are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Exogenous application of levodopa is conventionally used to equalize the striatal dopamine deficit in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). The stimulation of endogenous biosynthesis of levodopa via activation of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) has been proposed as new therapeutic concept in PD. This may be achieved by exogenous supply with the reduced coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Aim of this open prospective study was to investigate (1) the efficacy of a new developed, parenteral application form of NADH on Parkinsonian symptoms and (2) the influence of bioavailability of levodopa. 15 patients, suffering from idiopathic PD (11 male, 4 female, age: 61.40[mean] ± 10.27[SD] range: 44–74 years, Hoehn and Yahr stage: 3.03 ± 0.69, range 2–4) received intravenous infusions of NADH (10 mg a' 30 min) over a period of 7 days in addition to conventional Parkinsonian pharmacotherapy. Parkinsonian symptoms were scored before (day 1) and after NADH treatment (day 8). Levodopa plasma levels were estimated over a period of four hours on the day before and on the first day of NADH application by HPLC. Parkinsonian patients showed a significant response, evaluated by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Version 3.0 (p=0.025; Wilcoxon test). Moreover application of NADH significantly increased bioavailability of plasma levodopa (AUC, p=0.035; Cmax, p=0.025). In conclusion NADH in the used galenic form may be a potent stimulator of endogenous levodopa biosynthesis with clinical benefit for Parkinsonian patients.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Implantation der A. und V. femoralis in frei transplantierte, isolierte, mediale Köpfe des M. gastrocnemius führte bei Ratten zur Revascularisierung der Muskulatur. Nach 4 Tagen waren in den gefässnahen Regionen des Muskels kleinkalibrige Gefässe anzutreffen, nach 3 Wochen war der Muskel bis zur bindegewebigen Kapsel unterhalb der Gore-Tex Surgical Membrane-Ummantelung perfundiert. Der Revascularisierung ging eine Invasion motiler Zellen voraus, die fischzugähnlich das Muskeltransplantat besetzten. Die Gefässsprosse entstammten vorwiegend der V. femoralis, Narbenbildung im Transplantat konnte nach 4 Wochen nicht beobachtet werden.
    Notes: Summary Implantation of the femoral artery and vein into the free-transplanted, isolated, medial capita of the gastrocnemius muscle in rats led to revascularization of this part of the muscle. After 4 days, in the muscle part lying near the implanted vessels, small vessels were seen that came from the femoralis vein. After 3 weeks, the whole free graft was revascularized up to the surrounding tissue beneath the Gore-Tex surgical membrane. An invasion of motile cells preceded the revascularization; the cells occupied the peri- and endomysium of the graft. After 4 weeks no muscle scars could be observed in the transplant.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An der Chirurgischen Universitätsklinik Basel wurden von 1970-1981 88 Stabilisierungen mit dem Fixateur externe durchgeführt. Das sind weniger als 2 % der sonst durchgeführten internen Osteosynthesen am Fernur und der Tibia. 56mal wurde der Fixateur externe zur Primärversorgung einer Fraktur eingesetzt. 32mal erfolgte die externe Fixation bei nach anderen Methoden infizierten Frakturen. Indikation, Technik, postoperativer Verlauf sowie die Nachuntersuchungsergebnisse werden dargestellt.
    Notes: Summary Between 1970 and 1981 external fixation was used in 86 patients with a total of 88 fractures. In 56 cases primary external fixation was indicated by severe injuries of the extremity. If internal fixation or conservative treatment failed, secondary external fixation was used (32 cases). In 50 %, the stability of primary external fixation was increased by means of additional lag-screw fixation. In 50 % we later changed to internal fixation, partly due to healing of the soft tissue, partly to delayed cortical bone healing. Severe osteitis was observed after primary fixation in 21 % of the cases. After an average of 31 weeks in primary and 49 weeks in secondary cases full weight-bearing was possible. Final results at follow-up are reported.
