Notes: Abstract We report a 5-year experience performing vesicovaginal fascial sling operation (VVFSO) for the treatment of genuine stress incontinence associated with prolapse. This original technique, plus others to correct prolapse, was employed in 41 women evaluated preand postoperatively with traditional clinical and urodynamic methods. Essentially the procedure is a transvaginal retropubic urethrocystopexy by means of two fascial strips, obtained from the central part of the cystocele, crossed beneath the urethrovesical junction and fixed to the periostium of the lower retropubis on each side. All 41 patients were followed for 1–5 years, with 39 of them cured (95.1%) and 2 failed (4.9%). A significant postoperative increase in the maximal urethral closure pressure, from 10–35 cmH2O with a mean of 18, was found. The VVFSO is an easy vaginal procedure, which provides a high success rate in correcting GSI associated with prolapse.

Notes: AM1 and MNDO semiempirical electronic calculations have been carried out for ZnO surface ((ZnO)n, n = 11, 16, 22, 24, 33, 42, and 44) cluster models. The theoretical results can be summarized as follows: (i) the energy gap HOMO-LUMO is shown to be dependent on the cluster size and geometry optimization; however, better agreement of this gap with experimental data is obtained with cluster of limited size (n = 16, 22, and 24). (ii) The Mulliken charge of the cluster zinc ion is invariant with the optimization procedure, showing an average value of 0.52 a.u. (MNDO) and 0.62 a.u. (AM1). © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
