    Notes: Abstract Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in the female may be treated by a variety of non-surgical and surgical therapies. However, once the patient has chosen to undergo operative repair the ideal procedure is based on three considerations: the degree of anterior vaginal wall prolapse, the degree of incontinence and associated anatomic abnormalities requiring surgical repair. In the vast majority of cases vaginal wall sling is our procedure of choice for the surgical treatment of SUI in the female. Vaginal wall sling is based on sound anatomic principles, may be performed as an outpatient procedure and is equally efficacious for the treatment of SUI due to anatomic incontinence (urethral hypermobility) and intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Since vaginal wall sling is performed through a transvaginal approach, other associated manifestations of pelvic floor prolapse such as rectocele can be addressed and repaired simultaneously. When necessary the vaginal wall sling can be easily modified to repair large grade cystoceles.

    Notes: Abstract This report describes the surgical management of 24 patients with concurrent abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and urinary tract neoplasm. The patient population consisted of 22 men and two women whose average age was 65.5 years. AAA sizes ranged from 3.1 to 9.0 cm (mean 5.2 cm) in diameter. Urinary tract neoplasms included transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder (n = 19), adenocarcinoma of the prostate (n = 3), and TCC of the renal pelvis (n = 2). Urologic procedures included radical prostatectomy, radical nephroureterectomy, and radical cystoprostatectomy with continent or ileal loop urinary diversion. The AAA was resected at the time of the Urologic procedure in 12 patients (group I) or prior to the Urologic procedure in five patients (group II) and was left in situ in seven patients (group III: AAA diameter 3.1 to 5.5 cm). All patients but one in group I recovered without complications. One patient developed an infection postoperatively as a result of fluid collection anterior to the aortic vascular graft; the fluid was successfully drained and the patient subsequently recovered uneventfully. All patients in group II had a marked retroperitoneal desmoplastic reaction at the time of the Urologic procedure as a result of prior aneurysmectomy, which complicated the ureteral dissection. One patient later required an ileal ureteral reconstruction for obliterative fibrosis of the ureter. At a mean follow-up of 34 months, no infectious or mechanical complications of the vascular prosthesis occurred in group I or II. Eight patients in group I and two in group II are alive. Three have died of metastatic disease and two of myocardial infarction. Of the seven patients in group III, four subsequently required AAA resection for an increase in AAA size and three have died. One patient died of a ruptured AAA, whereas the other two died of metastatic disease and unknown causes, respectively. This surgical experience suggests that simultaneous correction of a concomitant AAA and Urologic neoplasm is feasible and advisable. It is technically superior, minimizes perioperative complications and later graft sepsis, avoids the need for later AAA resection, and eliminates the risk of AAA rupture.

    Immortalization of human endothelial cells by murine sarcoma viruses, without morphologic transformation (1988)

    Notes: Amphotropic murine leukemia virus pseudotypes of murine sarcoma viruses containing theras or mos oncogenes were constructed to permit efficient introduction of the sarcoma virus genome into early-passage human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The resulting cell lines were morphologically and phenotypically unchanged, retaining properties characteristic of differentiated endothelial cells. For example, the cells in a Kirsten sarcoma virus-modified line were found to biosvnthesize and secrete von Willebrand factor in both a constitutive and regulated manner, and they contained ultrastructurally identifiable Weibel-Palade bodies, an endothelial cell-specific organelle. In contrast to the parent cultures, sarcoma virus-modified cells were able to proliferate indefinitely in culture. Examination of both Kirsten sarcoma and Moloney leukemia virus-modified lines indicated that the immortalized cells retained a diploid female karyotype after over 18 months in culture. In addition, the sarcoma virus-modified cells were able to grow independently of added endothelial cell growth factor. This growth factor autonomy does not appear to be due to autocrine production of a biologically cross-reactive growth factor. These immortal, virus-modified endothelial cells express large amounts of sarcoma virus-specific mRNA but no detectable helper virus or transforming virus activity. This technique for immortalization of primary human cells without alteration of the differentiated characteristics of the cell type is readily applied to a variety of human cell types. Moreover, the ability to separate the immortalizing and transforming activities of viral oncogenes should provide further understanding as to mechanisms of oncogene action.
