摘要:

A valve‐like mechanism at the outlet of the urinary bladder in human and dog cadaver specimens is described. Elevation of the bladder base closes the valve and maintains continence. Lack of support or funnelling of the bladder base allows the urine to pass. This valve requires only a few millimetres of tissue beyond the bladder wall to stay effective. Furthermore, three millimetres is the traverse up or down which decides between continence and incontinence of urine. This valve effect is not present in sheep, pig or cattle bladders. The mechanism was described by Vincent in human bladders in 195

摘要:

The neuromuscular reflexes before and after the Swenson rectosigmoidectomy procedure and the Duhamel operation for Hirschsprung's disease have been studied to determine and compare the responses of the anal sphincters to “rectal” distension and to evaluate the state of contine

摘要:

Pig livers were cooled in situ by portal vein infusion with Tis‐u‐sol, and were then excised, rewarmed, and perfused in an isolated circuit with diluted autologous blood. The temperature of the cooling fluid was 10°C in one group and 17° C in the other. Bile flow and brom‐sulphllialein excretion in the bile were measured over a 90‐minute period of perfusion at 38° C. The total bile flow and bromsulphthalein excretion were not significantly different in the two groups. However, during the first 30 minutes of perfusion there was a significantly lower bile flow and bromsulphthalein excretion in the bile in the livers cooled to 10° C. The results demonstrated a significant delay in the return of excretory function, and this may be relevant in the choice of methods for preparation of livers for clinical liver perfusion or tran

摘要:

The use of immunosuppressive steroid therapy in patients having transplant operations is associated with increasing numbers of patients with wound healing problems. Vitamin A is known to prevent some biological effects of steroids, including impaired gain in strength of healing wounds and impaired epithelialization of open wounds. Other effects of steroids are not affected by vitamin A. Before vitamin A can be safely used to promote wound healing in transplant patients having steroid immunosuppressive therapy, it is essential to determine whether the immunosupprressive action could be impaired by vitamin A. A study was designed using skin homografts in mice to determine whether vitamin A administration affected the prolongation of homograft survival resulting from cortisone therapy. Although in these experiments vitamin A was not found to influence significantly the immunosuppressive action of cortisone, further experiments are required entailing the use of different doses of vitamin A and also a different homograft model, before any conclusions can be made concerning the likely effect of the use of vitamin A in transplant patients having immunosuppressive steroid therapy.
