RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Certain Helicobacter pylori genotypes are associated with peptic ulcer disease; however, little is known about associations between the H. pylori genotype and perforated peptic ulcer (PPU). The primary aim of this study was to evaluate which genotypes are present in patients with PPU and which genotype is dominant in this population. The secondary aim was to study the possibility of determining the H. pylori status in a way other than by biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Serum samples, gastric tissue biopsies, lavage fluid, and fluid from the nasogastric tube were collected from patients operated upon for PPU. By means of PCR, DEIA, and LIPA the presence of the "cytotoxin associated gene" (cagA) and the genotype of the "vacuolating cytotoxin gene" were determined. RESULTS: Fluid from the nasogastric tube was obtained from 25 patients, lavage fluid from 26 patients, serum samples from 20 patients and biopsies from 18 patients. Several genotypes were found, of which the vacA s1 cagA positive strains were predominant. Additionally, a correlation was found between the H. pylori presence in biopsy and its presence in lavage fluid (p=0.015), rendering the latter as an alternative for biopsy. Sensitivity and specificity of lavage fluid analysis were 100% and 67%, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study shows the vacA s1 cagA positive strain is predominant in a PPU population. The correlation found between the H. pylori presence in biopsy and its presence in lavage fluid suggests that analysis of the lavage fluid is sufficient to determine the H. pylori presence. Risks associated with biopsy taking may be avoided.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to develop a simple method for closure of a perforated peptic ulcer, making it more accessible for laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: An experimental pilot study was performed using five male Wistar rats. The perforation was closed by a bioabsorbable patch made of lactide-glycolid-caprolactone fixed with glue onto the outside of the stomach. RESULTS: Postoperatively, there were no signs of leakage or other complications. Histologically, there were no signs of inflammation on the inside of the stomach, and there was a 50% reduction of the perforation each successive postoperative week. No adverse reactions because of the degradable material or glue were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of a perforated peptic ulcer by placing a patch of biodegradable material like a "stamp" on the outside of the stomach is a feasible option.

RESUMEN

The standard technique for bridging a peripheral nerve defect is an autologous nerve graft if the nerve ends cannot be sutured. Recent evidence indicates that an alternative procedure-application of a degradable nerve guide-may be feasible. Currently the use of such a degradable nerve guide for the recovery of peripheral nerve defects in the hand is being tested in a multicenter trial. Conventional suturing as well as autologous nerve grafting are accepted methods in the control group within the protocol of the multicenter study. In the first two patients to receive the implant, a 28-year-old man and a 50-year-old women with tendon and nerve injury due to glass cuts, the operation was technically successful. Functional nerve recovery will be assessed in due course.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Giant congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) are often disfiguring, potentially malignant pigmented lesions present at birth. Their management is based on two main considerations: attempt to minimize the risk of malignancy and to obtain an acceptable cosmetic result. In the past various approaches have been used to treat these naevi. OBJECTIVES: To describe clinical and histopathological results after treatment of CMN in neonates with erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) laser resurfacing. METHODS: Ten children with CMN were treated with Er:YAG laser resurfacing in the first weeks of life. RESULTS: Laser ablation was well tolerated by all children and immediate results were good. At a total follow-up ranging from 3 to 36 months we saw good results, with no or minimal repigmentation, in eight of 10 patients. Patients experienced minimal side-effects such as postoperative pain, bleeding and scar formation. Postoperative histopathology showed disappearance of heavily pigmented cells in the upper part of the dermis. CONCLUSIONS: Er:YAG laser resurfacing is an effective method of ablating CMN, with minimal scarring and postoperative complications.
