    Notes: We report a retrospective study of the pathological features in 69 primary pulmonary non-Hodgkin's lymphomas which have previously been clinically reviewed. The tumours consisted of 61 (88%) low-grade and eight (12%) high-grade malignant lymphomas. Fifty-four of the low-grade malignant lymphomas were MALT lymphomas. Lymphoepithelial lesions were observed in bronchial, bronchiolar and alveolar lining. All tumours were composed of nodules, forming a lymphangitic pattern at the periphery and a confluent central mass. Invasion of pleura and vessels was often seen but this without any consequence on survival. Granulomas were found in 20% of cases. Six of the eight high-grade tumours were centroblastic and another two were B-cell lymphomas of undetermined type. In four cases, associated areas of low-grade malignant lymphoma with lympho-epithelial lesions indicated a preexisting MALT lymphoma. Clinical data suggest that limited surgery or non-aggressive chemotherapy can provide long-term survival in patients with such slowly developing neoplasms. However, non-invasive diagnostic methods need to be developed.

    Notes: Epicardial radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atria in the open-chest dog has been shown to reduce inducibility of atrial fibrillation. Video-assisted endoscopic techniques decrease the operative trauma in adult thoracic surgery. We report our results of video-assisted thoracoscopic radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atria for the prevention of atrial fibrillation induction in canines. In 12 consecutive anesthetized dogs, induction of sustained atrial fibrillation was reproducibly obtained by burst pacing and cervical vagal stimulation. In six dogs, biatrial ablation was performed through right and left minithoracotomies and guided by video-assisted endoscopic techniques. The remaining six dogs underwent a video-guided left atrial procedure. Long continuous and transmural lesions were produced using epicardial temperature controlled radiofrequency energy delivered according to a simplified maze approach. Transmural lesions were demonstrated at the end of the study by examination of the heart. Sustained atrial fibrillation was still inducible after the right atrial ablation but sustained atrial fibrillation could not be induced following left atrial ablation. In acute canine studies: (1) epicardial radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atria is feasible using video-assisted endoscopic techniques; (2) ablation extended or confined to the left atrium appears to be effective in preventing the inducibility of sustained vagal atrial fibrillation; and (3) ablation of the right atrium alone had no antiarrhythmic effect.

    Notes: Abstract This study of two cases of pulmonary Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) focuses on the ultrastructural aspects of the vascular wall injury and on the immunohistochemical characterization of the perivascular connective matrix. The iterative waves of endothelial cell necrosis and regeneration are demonstrated by the multiplamellar appearance of the basal lamina. Neutrophils infiltrate the vessel wall and myofibroblasts are recruited to injured vessels. The perivascular connective matrix associates basement-membrane like and fibrillar material with fibrin deposits. The initiation of the fibrosing process was assessed by the visualization of matrix molecules involved in targeting (p-fibronectin), organizing (cellular fibronectin and tenascin) and stabilizing (lysyl-oxidase) the fibrogenic activity. These elementary lesions affect different levels of the vascular tree, and capillaritis is involved in the extension of the pathological process. Lysyl-oxidase labelling reveals the fibrosing front which is located on the border of dense fibrosis. The markers of fibrosing activity disappear in the areas of fibrosis following vasculitis and/or ischaemic necrosis and/or granulomatosis. Vasculitis plays a major role in both the genesis and progression of the fibrosis observed in the late stage of WG.
