    Notes: Abstract The mechanisms of lysis of endothelial cells derived from human umbilical vein (HUVEC) by autologous lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, generated from cord blood lymphocytes of the same donor, were investigated. Freshly isolated HUVEC as well as HUVEC cultured for several passages were efficiently lysed by autologous LAK cells, and their susceptibility to the LAK cells was almost the some as that of allogenic HUVEC. Complement-depletion experiments revealed that the lysis was mainly dependent on CD16-natural killer (NK) LAK cells. Pretreatment of HUVEC with recombinant interferon γ (rIFNγ) for 24 h made them resistant to lysis by autologous LAK cells, while pretreatment with either rIL-1β. rTNFα, or acidic or basic fibroblast growth factor did not alter the lytic sensitivity of HUVEC. The resistance of rIFNγ-treated HUVEC was specific to lysis by CD16+ NK LAK cells, and their lysis by CD3+ T-LAK cells was not significantly altered. Moreover, in comparison with control HUVEC or rIL-1β-treated HUVEC, rIFNγ-treated HUVEC had a significantly less potent inhibitory effect on the lysis of untreated HUVEC, when used as an unlabeled target. This suggests that rIFNγ treatment may down-regulate the recognition of some molecules on HUVEC by rIL-2-activated NK cells. These data suggest that damage of the endothelium during LAK therapy is mainly dependent on LAK cells with a NK phenotype that can specifically recognize a certain molecule on autologous endothelial cells.

    Tuberculous Peritonitis Defying Diagnosis: Report of a Case (2000)

    Notes: Abstract: A case of tuberculous peritonitis, which has been scarcely encountered in clinical practice in recent years, is reported. A 32-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of abdominal fullness, anorexia, and a 15 kg weight loss. His abdomen was distended. There was neither any previous history nor recent contact with tuberculosis. The laboratory data indicated increased C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, but the white blood cell count was normal. A chest X-ray examination revealed no abnormalities. Abdominal X-ray showed scattered, small-intestinal gas shadows. Abdominal computed tomography scanning revealed a diffuse thickening of the dilated bowel wall, mainly adjacent to the mesentery. After a detailed examination a diagnosis of peritonitis carcinomatosa of unknown origin was suspected, and an exploratory laparotomy was done. Severe adhesions between the parietal peritoneum and the bowel were found. An excisional biopsy specimen was taken from the peritoneum, and a diagnosis of tuberculosis was thus made. Triple therapy with isoniazid, rifampicin, and kanamycin was started, and both the intestinal obstruction and anorexia were thus resolved.

    Notes: Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The discharge resolved following the intravenous administration of vancomycin and the local application of vancomycin ointment. There were no operative complications other than the MRSA infection, and the patient was discharged 20 days after revision surgery. In the 14 months since the revision, all grafts have remained patent and there have been no further symptoms of graft infection.

    The influence of surgical insults on restenosis after transluminal balloon angioplasty (1995)

    Notes: Abstract The influences of atherogenic response on restenosis after transluminal balloon angioplasty and the anastomosis of arterial reconstruction were investigated. Iliac transluminal balloon angioplasty was performed on 81 consecutive patients at 86 sites, between January, 1987 and December, 1992. A balloon angioplasty alone was performed in 58 patients at 60 sites, while distal revascularization was performed in 23 patients on 26 limbs, in association with the angioplasty. An improvement in the inflow of the distal grafts was achieved in 22 of these 23 patients in 26 limbs. The combined distal revascularization included 21 femoropopliteal bypasses, 3 femorofemoral bypasses, and 2 thromboendarterectomies at the profunda femoris arteries. A reduction in the luminal diameter after the balloon angioplasty was determined by means of follow-up arteriograms which showed no obvious progression of the restenosis at the angioplasty sites even when neointimal hyperplasia had developed at the anastomosis of the arterial reconstruction. The accumulative graft patency rate of the combined distal revascularization did not differ significantly from that of femoropopliteal reconstructions alone during the same study period. This study demonstrated that concomitant surgical insults do not have a detrimental effect on restenoses at angioplasty sites.

    Notes: Abstract A 63-year-old man was referred to our department for treatment of intermittent claudication in the right lower limb. The preoperative angiogram showed severe stenosis extending from the terminal aorta to the bilateral common femoral arteries, with occlusion of the right superficial femoral artery and the left popliteal artery. He underwent aortobifemoral bypass with thromboendarterectomy of the left common femoral artery, and right graft-popliteal artery bypass. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course; however, 14 days after the operation, a pulsatile mass suddenly appeared in the left groin. Emergency surgery revealed disruption of the left distal anastomosis of the aortobifemoral bypass and therefore, revision, in the form of graft-profunda femoris artery interposition with graft-superficial femoral artery bypass, was performed. Microscopic examination showed colonies of bacteria in the host artery adventitia adjacent to the anastomosis. Culture of the discharge from the right groin operative scar revealed methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The discharge resolved following the intravenous administration of vancomycin and the local application of vancomycin ointment. There were no operative complications other than the MRSA infection, and the patient was discharged 20 days after revision surgery. In the 14 months since the revision, all grafts have remained patent and there have been no further symptoms of graft infection.

    Notes: Abstract An aortogastric fistula is a rare but fatal complication after an esophagectomy and intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis. A 54-year-old man underwent an esophageal resection due to carcinoma in his lower esophagus. The alimentary tract continuity was restored by intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis. Forty-six days later, he suffered a massive hematemesis due to an aortogastric fistula which had formed at the esophagogastric suture line. The fistula was surgically obliterated twice, but each operation was followed by pseudoaneurysm formation. The patient was finally successfully treated with an endovascular stent graft placement. This is the first report of a patient surviving after developing this complication.
