    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: Anorectal surgery can lead to fecal soiling and incontinence. Whether surgery changes the anatomy and causes symptoms is unknown. Anatomic changes can be visualized by anal endosonography. METHODS: We studied 50 patients after hemorrhoidectomy (24), fistulectomy (18), and internal sphincterotomy (8). Symptoms were assessed, and anal endosonography, anal manometry, mucosal electrosensitivity, and neurophysiologic tests were performed. RESULTS: In 23 (46 percent) patients, a defect of the anal sphincter was found (13 patients had an internal sphincter defect, 1 had an external sphincter defect, and 9 had a combined sphincter defect), 3 after hemorrhoidectomy, 13 after fistulectomy, and 7 after internal sphincterotomy. Seven patients had symptoms, and they all had a sphincter defect. In the other 16 of 23 patients (70 percent), the sphincter defect did not produce symptoms. An internal sphincter defect lowered maximum basal pressure and shortened sphincter length. CONCLUSION: Anal endosonography can reveal sphincter defects after anorectal surgery. Seventy percent of the patients in this group had no complaints; therefore, defects were unsuspected. This has clinical implications in the evaluation of patients with fecal incontinence.

    Notes: Abstract The artificial UTP-analogue 5-bromouridine 5′-triphosphate (BrUTP) has been used to label pre-mRNAin vitro andin vivo [1, 2]. We have investigated the effect of bromouridine (BrU) in pre-mRNA on the efficiency of splicing. An adenovirus major late II construct was used to prepare four different transcripts, each containing a different amount of BrU. These four transcripts were tested in anin vitro splicing assay. We found that splicing is strongly inhibited if all uridines (U) in the transcript were substituted for BrU. Splicing was restored to some extent if 50% of the Us were replaced by BrU. The splicing efficiency returned to an almost normal level if only I out of every 10 Us was substituted for BrU. This demonstrates that only a pre-mRNA containing a small amount of BrU can be spliced normallyin vitro. Furthermore, these results strongly suggest that some Us in the adenoviral transcript, probably those at the splice sites, cannot be replaced by BrU and are therefore critical in the splicing reaction.
