    Notes: Abstract An estimate of the extensibility of the supraspinatus muscle after a rotator cuff tear is useful in selecting the most appropriate operative procedure and the prognosis after surgery. We studied the relationship between the morphological findings of the supraspinatus muscle on magnetic resonance imaging and its elongation length. Twenty-one shoulders of 20 patients with massive rotator cuff tears were scanned parallel to the long axis of the supraspinatus muscle. The ratio of the largest width of the supraspinatus muscle belly to the distance from the greater tuberosity to the proximal end of the supraspinatus muscle was termed the supraspinatus muscle belly ratio. The appearance of linear bands and the degree of retraction of the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle were analyzed. The extensibility of the supraspinatus muscle decreased when the degree of retracted tendon was high, while no correlation was found with the length of the rotator cuff defect, the supraspinatus muscle belly ratio, or the appearance of linear bands.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß des Kollateralkreislaufs auf die myokardiale Regionaldurchblutung und auf die Wandbeweglichkeit des linken Ventrikels wurde an 5 narkotisierten Hunden mit chirurgisch implantiertem Konstriktor (R. circumflexus der linken Koronarartherie) untersucht. Der Stenosegrad und die Wandbeweglichkeit wurden angiographisch bestimmt. Die regionale Myokarddurchblutung wurde mit „tracer microspheres” (TM) bestimmt, die entweder mit 85-Sr, 51-Cr, 46-Sc oder mit 141-Ce markiert waren. Die erste TM-Injektion erfolgte nach LC-Stenose, die zweite während eines temporären LC-Verschlusses, die dritte und vierte Injektion erfolgten genau wie TM1 und TM2 jedoch 3–4 Wochen später. 3–4 Wochen nach der LC-Stenose war der Stenosegrad spontan von 70–80% und bis 100% weiter fortgeschritten. Die Kollateraldurchblutung zur ischämischen LC-Region hatte zugenommen, und die Wandbeweglichkeit hatte sich verbessert. Die Resultate unterstützen die Ansicht, daß Kollateralgefäße wirkungsvolle Kompensationsmechanismen der Ischämie darstellen. Im Gegensatz zur Zunahme der Kollateraldurchblutung in der freien Wand des LC-Gebietes fand sich eine Zunahme der Durchblutung nur in 2 von 5 posterioren Papillarmuskeln.
    Notes: Summary The effect of collateral circulation on regional myocardial flow and wall motion of left ventricle was studied on 5 anesthetized dogs with a surgically implanted constrictor on the left circumflex coronary artery (LC). The grade of LC stenosis and wall motion of left ventricle (LV) were determined by cineangiography of the coronary artery and LV at the period of acute and chronic occlusion. Regional myocardial flow was determined by tracer microspheres (TM), labeled with four different isotopes, Sr85, Cr51, Sc46, Ce141. The first TM1 was infused after LC stenosis, TM2 during a temporary complete LC occlusion at the period of acute occlusion, TM3 and TM4 in a similar way 3 to 4 weeks after the acute LC stenosis. Three to four weeks after LC stenosis, i.e. chronic period of occlusion, the degree of LC stenosis progressed from 70–80% to 100% occlusion, but collateral flow and collateral vessels to the ischemic LC area were increased together with an improvement of wall motion of the ischemic LC area. The results may support the idea that collaterals may be an effective compensatory mechanism for ischemia. In contrast to an increase of collateral flow to the ischemic LV free wall in all five dogs, an increase to the posterior papillary muscle was found only in two out of five dogs.

    Notes: Abstract For the identification of circulating parasite antigens associated with immune-complex glomerulone-phritis in dogs infected withDirofilaria immitis, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were generated against adult worms. A total of 11 mAbs were selected for cloning because of their high productivity and their lack of cross-reactivity withToxocara canis in indirect immunofluorescence tests. The ability of mAbs to detect circulating antigens was examined using an antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Of the 11 mAbs, only NAK-1, an IgG2a mAb, was capable of detecting circulating antigens in 75% of infected dogs. However, this mAb was highly species-specific in its detection of circulating antigens, since sera from dogs infected with other nematode parasites were negative. Furthermore, the mAb detected antigens at the same glomerular sites in which IgG and/or C3 were deposited. The antigen deposits were observed along capillaries and/or in mesangial cells. The epitope recognized by this mAb is probably a carbohydrate, as it remained stable for 1 h at 100° C and was sensitive to periodate treatment. Two bands of 62 and 26 kDa, respectively, were detected on Western blots by the mAb when sera from dogs infected withD. immitis were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transblotted.
