    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé On a récemment souligné l'intérêt, chez les patients ayant un cancer gastrique, de la chimiothérapie néoadjuvante pour améliorer le taux de résecabilité complète des tumeurs, pour combattre des métastases systémiques et pour prolonger la survie. En effet, les études disponibles indiquent que la chimiothérapie néoadjuvante est faisable sans augmenter ni la mortalité ni la morbidité. Comparée aux résultats obtenus aujourd'hui par la résection primitive associée à un curage, la chimiothérapie préopératoire, par contre, ne s'est pas montrée capable d'améliorer le taux de résecabilité des tumeurs estimées résécables à priori. Chez le patient ayant un cancer avancé ou non résécable, par contre, la chimiothérapie préopératoire peut réduire considérablement le volume tumoral et augmenter la possibilité de résection. Chez le patient qui répond à la chimiothérapie et qui a, par la suite, une résection complète de la tumeur, la survie apparaît donc améliorée. An raison d'imperfections dans la conception même de certaines de ces études, cependant, il n'est pas possible de tirer des conclusions définitives. Des études contrôlées, et randomisées, sont clairement nécessaires. Un «staging» préthérapeutique exact, une technique de résection et de curage standardisée, une évaluation diligente de la pièce après résection ainsi qu'un suivi rigoureux sont essentiels dans l'élaboration de ces essais pour identifier le sous-groupe de patients ayant un cancer gastrique qui pourraient bénéficier de la chimiothérapie néoadjuvante.
    Abstract: Resumen En tiempos recientes ha merecido creciente atención la quimioterapia neoadyuvante en un intento por aumentar las tasas de resecciones tumorales completas, combatir metástasis sistémicas y prolongar la supervivencia en pacientes con cáncer gástrico. La información disponible indica que la terapia neoadyuvante es factible y no aumenta la morbilidad ni la mortalidad postoperatorias. En comparación con los resultados que actualmente se obtienen con la resección primaria y la linfadenectomía, la quimioterapia preoperatoria hasta ahora, sin embargo, ha fallado en cuanto a demostrar un claro incremento en la rata de resección completa del tumor en los pacientes con cáncer gástrico resecable. En los pacientes con cáncer gástrico localmente avanzado o no resecable, la quimioterapia preoperatoria puede causar una reducción sustancial de la masa local-regional, y, por lo tanto, un incremento en la tasa de resección. Esto parece traducirse en un beneficio de supervivencia en aquellos pacientes que responden a la quimioterapia y que luego son sometidos a una resección completa de su tumor. Debido a severas limitaciones en el diseño de los informes publicados, no es posible derivar conclusiones definitivas a partir de la información disponible. Por lo tanto, aparece clara la necesidad de realizar ensayos clínicos prospectivos y randomizados. Una muy exacta estadificación tumoral preterapéutica, la resección estandarizada y la técnica de linfadenectomía, el examen meticuloso del espécimen resecado y un cuidadoso seguimiento son esenciales cuando se diseñen ensayos clínicos y se pretenda identificar subgrupos de pacientes que puedan beneficiarse de quimioterapia neoadyuvante para el carcinoma gástrico.
    Notes: Abstract Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has recently received increasing attention in an attempt to increase the rate of complete tumor resections, combat systemic metastases, and prolong survival in patients with gastric cancer. The available data indicate that neoadjuvant chemotherapy is feasible and does not increase postoperative morbidity and mortality. Compared to the results that can today be obtained with primary resection and lymphadenectomy, however, preoperative chemotherapy has so far failed to show a clear increase in the rate of complete tumor removal in patients with resectable gastric cancer. In patients with locally advanced or unresectable gastric cancer, preoperative chemotherapy may cause substantial reduction in locoregional tumor mass and thus increase the resection rate. This finding appears to translate into a survival benefit for those who respond to chemotherapy and have subsequent complete tumor resection. Because of severe shortcomings in the study design of the published reports, definite conclusions cannot be drawn from the available studies. Randomized controlled prospective trials are therefore clearly warranted. Exact pretherapeutic tumor staging, standardized resection and lymphadenectomy techniques, diligent evaluation of the resected specimen, and close follow-up are essential when designing these trials to identify subgroups of patients who may benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy for gastric carcinoma.

    Notes: Abstract The availability of human cadaveric spine specimens for in vitro tests is limited and the risk of infection is now of vital concern. As an alternative or supplement, calf spines have been used as models for human spines, in particular to evaluate spinal implants. However, neither qualitative nor quantitative biomechanical data on calf spines are available for comparison with data on human specimens. The purpose of this study was to determine the fundamental biomechanical properties of calf spines and to compare them with existing data from human specimens. Range of motion, neutral zone, and stiffness properties of thoracolumbar calf spines (T6-L6) were determined under pure moment loading in flexion and extension, axial left/right rotation and right/left lateral bending. Biomechanical similarities were observed between the calf and reported human data, most notably in axial rotation and lateral bending. Range of motion in the lumbar spine in flexion and extension was somewhat less in the calf than that typically reported for the human, though still within the range. These results suggest that the calf spine can be considered on a limited basis as a model for the human spine in certain in vitro tests.

    Notes: Abstract Posterior instrumentation of the occipito-cervical spine has become an established procedure in a variety of indications. The use of rod-screw systems improved posterior instrumentation as it allows optimal screw positioning adapted to the individual anatomic situation. However, there are still some drawbacks concerning the different implant designs. Therefore, a new modular rod-screw implant system has been developed to overcome some of the drawbacks of established systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether posterior internal fixation of the occipito-cervical spine with the new implant system improves primary biomechanical stability. Three different internal fixation systems were compared in this study: the CerviFix System, the Olerud Cervical Rod Spinal System and the newly developed Neon Occipito Cervical System. Eight human cervical spine C0/C5 specimens were instrumented from C0 to C4 with occipital fixation, transarticular screws in C1/C2 and lateral mass or pedicle screws in C3 and C4. The specimens were tested in flexion/extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending using pure moments of ± 2.5 Nm without axial preload. After testing the intact spine, the different instrumentations were tested after destabilising C0/C2 and C3/C4. Primary stability was significantly increased, in all load cases, with the new modular implant system compared to the other implant systems. Pedicle screw instrumentation tended to be more stable compared to lateral mass screws; nevertheless, significant differences were observed only for lateral bending. As the experimental design precluded any cyclic testing, the data represent only the primary stability of the implants. In summary, this study showed that posterior instrumentation of the cervical spine using the new Neon Occipito Cervical System improves primary biomechanical stability compared to the CerviFix System and the Olerud Cervical Rod Spinal System.

    Notes: Abstract New implants and new surgical approaches should be tested in vitro for primary stability in standardized laboratory tests in order to decide the most appropriate approach before being accepted for clinical use. Due to the complex and still unknown loading of the spine in vivo a variety of different test loading conditions have been used, making comparison of the results from different groups almost impossible. This recommendation was developed in a series of workshops with research scientists, orthopedic and trauma surgeons, and research and development executives from spinal implant companies. The purpose was to agree on in vitro testing conditions that would allow results from various research groups to be compared. This paper describes the recommended loading methods, specimen conditions, and analysis parameters resulting from these workshops.

    Notes: Abstract The objective of this study was to determine which discoligamentous structures of the lower cervical spine provide significant stability with regard to different loading conditions. Accordingly, the load-displacement properties of the normal and injured lower cervical spine were tested in vitro. Four artificially created stages of increasing discoligamentous instability of the segment C5/6 were compared to the normal C5/6 segment. Six fresh human cadaver spine segments C4-C7 were tested in flexion/extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending using pure moments of ± 2.5 Nm without axial preload. Five conditions were investigated consecutively: (1) the intact functional spinal unit (FSU) C5/6; (2) the FSU C5/6 with the anterior longitudinal ligament and the intertransverse ligaments sectioned; (3) the FSU C5/6 with an additional 10-mm-deep incision of the anterior half of the anulus fibrosus and the disc; (4) the FSU C5/6 with additionally sectioned ligamenta flava as well as interspinous and supraspinous ligaments; (5) the FSU C5/6 with additional capsulotomy of the facet joints. In flexion/extension, significant differences were observed concerning range of motion (ROM) and neutral zone (NZ) for all four stages of instability compared to the intact FSU. In axial rotation, only the stage 4 instability showed a significantly increased ROM and NZ compared to the intact FSU. For lateral bending, no significant differences were observed. Based on these data, we conclude that flexion/extension is the most sensitive load-direction for the tested discoligamentous instabilities.

    Notes: Abstract Objectives: Elective tracheostomy is an established procedure in the management of ICU patients on long-term ventilation. In addition, percutaneous tracheostomy techniques are increasingly being used. In 1997, Fantoni's translaryngeal technique (TLT), another minimally invasive procedure, was introduced. While clinical studies of TLT showed that the technique is safe and can be performed rapidly, technical difficulties which sometimes led to prolonged operating times were also noted. Our study compared the basic TLT technique to a modified TLT approach and to TLT performed with the manufacturer's new, improved “Straight Cannula” set. Twenty-five patients were enrolled in each group, and the advantages and disadvantages of the respective techniques were evaluated.¶Setting: Surgical ICU of a university hospital.¶Patients: Seventy-five adult, surgical intensive care patients.¶Measurements and results: Average operating times with the modified TLT techniques were significantly shorter, 4 and 5 min respectively, as compared to 11 min for the basic TLT technique. Initially, use of the new, improved TLT set resulted in a complete passage of the tracheal cannula in two patients; uneventful Griggs's tracheostomy was performed instead. Regardless of the technique used, no other perioperative complications were noted and the perioperative gas exchange remained unaffected by the tracheostomy procedure.¶Conclusions: The modified TLT procedures are safer and more readily performed than the basic technique. Difficulty in the retrograde passage of the guide wire was seen only occasionally with the modified techniques. Based on our data we conclude that the modified techniques are superior to the basic technique and represent significant progress in TLT.
