    Notizen: We review estimates of the spatial ecosystem support required to run a typical semi-intensive shrimp farm in a coastal mangrove area in Carribean Colombia, and to produce food inputs and process wastes for large-scale industrially managed tilapia cage culture and small-scale, semi-intensive tilapia pond farming in Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe. The tilapia farming is discussed in relation to the pelagic kapenta, Limnothrissa miodon (Boulenger), fishery and to inshore fisheries in the Lake.The results show that a semi-intensive shrimp farm needs a spatial ecosystem support—the ecological footprint—35 to 190 times the surface area of the pond, mainly mangrove area. Based on the analysis, we conclude that shrimp farming in Colombia is already utilizing close to the full support capacity of its coastal environment. In intensive tilapia cage farming, the ecological footprint for feed production is 10 000 times larger than the area of the cages. In contrast, a tilapia pond farm maintained on offals from fisheries, agriculture and households depends very little on external ecosystem areas. As long as there is a direct market for human consumption of all kapenta caught in the Lake, fish cage farming based on fish meal from kapenta would be doubtful from ethical, ecological as well as resource management points of view, even if it was economically feasible.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Résumé. L’objectif de cette étude prospective a été d’étudier si une augmentation de l’apport nutritionnel peut ameliorer la cicatrisation et réduire la mortalité chez les malades ayant subi une amputation de jambe en raison d’une maladie vasculaire. L’état nutritionnel de trente-deux patients consécutifs ayant subi une amputation de jambe a étéévalué. Vingt-huit ont été considérés comme malnutris. Une nutrition additionnelle leur a été donnée avec un apport moyen de 2098 kcal par jour pendant 11 jours. Chez 24 malades une nutrition additionnelle, de cinq jours au moins en préopératoire, a été suivie par un traitement postopératoire pour atteindre un total de 11 jours. Quatre malades necessitant une amputation en urgence n’ont re*u le traitement que postopératoire et quatre malades ont été exclus. Trente deux amputés de jambe venant d’un hopital universitaire voisin ont été utilisés comme contrôle, après associations des cas tenant compte de l’age, le sexe, du diabète, de la consommation de tabac, des opérations vasculaires précédentes et des conditions de vie antérieure à l’amputation. L’étude de la cicatrisation a montré que 26 amputés étaient cicatrisés dans le groupe ayant bénéficié d’un apport nutritionnel contre 13 dans le groupe de controle, P = 0.001. Neuf patients sont morts dans les premier six mois dans le groupe ayant bénéficié d’un apport nutritionnel contre 14 dans le groupe de controle, (n. s.). Cette étude montre clairement que près de 90% des amputés de jambe étaient malnutris et qu’un apport nutritionnel a amelioré la cicatrisation du moignon sans pour autant augmenter la survie.
    Notizen: Summary. The objective of this prospective study of matched controls was to find out whether supplementary nutrition would improve wound healing and decrease mortality in patients undergoing transtibial amputation for occlusive arterial disease. The nutritional status of 32 consecutive transtibial amputees was assessed and 28 were classified as malnourished. Supplementary nutrition was given reaching an average intake of 2098 kcal/day for a total of 11 days. In 24 patients, at least 5 days of preoperative supplementary nutrition were given, followed by postoperative treatment for a total of 11 days. Four patients who had an immediate operation were given only postoperative treatment, and 4 were excluded. The controls were 32 amputees in another hospital and matching procedures were carried out with corrections for diabetes, sex, age, smoking habits, previous vascular surgery and living conditions before amputation. Healing, including those healed before death in both groups, occurred in 26 of the nutrition group compared to 13 in the control group, which was statistically significant. Nine patients died within 6 months in the nutrition group compared to 14 of the controls (not significant). Malnutrition was present in nearly 90% of transtibial amputees and supplementary nutrition improved healing, but not mortality.

    Notizen: Abstract. Objective: Because glucocorticoid treatment can improve the survival of surgical skin flaps, we examined the influence of environmental stress on skin flap survival in the rat.¶Material: Female Sprague-Dawley rats.¶Treatment: Dexamethasone (1 mg/kg i.p.).¶Methods: A standardized dorsal skin flap was raised and sutured back into position, and six days later the percentage of flap survival was assessed. Corticosterone in rat plasma was measured using radioimmuno assay, and skin flap myeloperoxidase accumulation (reflecting neutrophil recruitment) was determined spectrophotometrically.¶Results: Skin flap survival decreased gradually during a 10 day acclimatization period after transportation of the animals from the supplier, and plasma corticosterone levels were increased during the first 5 days of acclimatization compared to day 7 and 10. Dexamethasone treatment of rats accustomed to their new environment for 10 days increased flap survival to a level close to that observed in animals operated at day 1 after arrival. Flap surgery induced pronounced neutrophil recruitment into flap tissue, and this cell accumulation was greatly reduced in both the dexamethasone treated rats and in rats with elevated corticosterone levels.¶Conclusions: Skin flap survival in rats exposed to environmental stress may be significantly increased as compared to animals accustomed to their new environment for one week, possibly as a consequence of anti-inflammatory actions exerted by stress-induced elevations in plasma corticosterone. These findings emphasize the importance of strictly controlling environmental stress factors in studies of inflammation and tissue damage after surgical skin trauma.

    Notizen: Abstract S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase is a key enzyme in the synthesis of polyamines. These small cationic molecules are required for growth and development in all organisms. A wealth of biological processes, including synthesis of DNA and protein and condensation of chromatin, involve polyamines. Inhibition of polyamine synthesis has been proposed for treatment of cancer but this requires more knowledge about the in vivo function of polyamines. We report here the cloning of the S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase gene from Drosophila melanogaster and the analysis of corresponding mutants. The mutant phenotypes are similar to those previously described for ribosomal protein genes (Minutes) and rRNA genes (bobbed ). This work elucidates the in vivo consequences of impaired polyamine synthesis with respect to the development of a whole animal.
