Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the optimal goal of extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants has been debated, it can be argued that the best nutritional strategy for ELBW infants is one which achieves better growth while preventing neurological sequelae due to nutritional inadequacy, even if it does not mimic fetal growth. Our aim is to propose an advisable and practically feasible nutritional intake for ELBW infants. METHODS We retrospectively investigated the nutritional intake in 16 ELBW infants (gestational age 26.7 weeks, birthweight 879.6 g), who exceeded the standard growth curves for Japanese infants of ELBW. We also analyzed the nutritional composition of human milk from 15 mothers delivering before term (PT milk) until the 12th week of lactation. The nutritional intake was calculated according to the composition of the parenteral and enteral regimen. RESULTS The infants tolerated more than 100 mL/kg per day of milk until the fourth week of life. An average weight gain of more than 15 g/kg per day was achieved by the sixth week. An advisable nutritional intake capable of sustaining ELBW infants in a stable growing phase was calculated as the sum of the mean plus 1SD of the daily nutritional intake. CONCLUSIONS To exceed the ordinary growth curves for ELBW Japanese infants, it was suggested that more than 100 mL milk/kg per day could be fed until the fourth week of life, while the advisable daily intake of nutrients after six weeks of life should be as follows: water 160 mL/kg, protein 3.2 g/kg, fat 7.4 g/kg, carbohydrate 12.8 g/kg, energy 544 kJ/kg, the following minerals in mg/kg: sodium 45, chloride 82, potassium 110, calcium 140, phosphorus 70, magnesium 11, zinc 0.5 and copper at 60 micrograms/kg. Further studies will be needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of this advisable intake for ELBW infants.

Abstract
We evaluated bone density in term and preterm infants using computed x-ray densitometry, which permits measurement of bone density with minimal disturbance to the infants in their incubators. Bone density, bone width, and bone length of the right radius were determined in 155 infants of appropriate weights for their gestational ages (23 to 41 weeks). A curve for intrauterine bone growth was extrapolated from these data. The mean coefficients of variations for variabilities for intra- and interobserver error for all measurements were < 3.5%. In 18 infants, measurements of the right forearm were obtained in two positions to confirm the validity of densitometric measurements. The mean coefficients of variation were 3.42% for bone density, 3.48% for bone width, and 0.21% for bone length. Bone density was significantly correlated with gestational age (r = 0.924) and birth weight (r = 0.921). Bone width and length were also correlated with gestational age (r = 0.866 and 0.937) and birth weight (r = 0.878 and 0.954). Our results suggest that computed x-ray densitometry is a useful method for evaluation of bone density in preterm infants, including those in an intensive care environment.

Abstract
The effect of body position before and after tube feeding was evaluated in six extremely immature infants who were being mechanically ventilated because of chronic lung disease. Their mean birthweight and gestational age were 722.7 g (range, 540 to 994) and 24.9 weeks (range, 23.9 to 26.0), respectively. This study was performed at a mean postnatal age of 47.5 days (range, 21 to 85 days). The prone position resulted in a significant increase in arterial oxygen saturation before and after feeding, whereas the tidal volume demonstrated an increase only before feeding. Also the prone position showed a significant decrease in heart rate before and after feeding and a tendency to decrease transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension values before feeding. There were no significant differences in minute ventilation despite increased tidal volume in the prone position, most likely due to a decrement of the spontaneous respiratory rate in the prone positioning. We conclude that the prone position may offer an advantage over the supine position in the management of extremely immature infants with chronic lung disease before and after feeding.

Abstract
The effects of fortification of preterm human milk were evaluated by comparing two groups of very low birth weight infants (birth weight < or = 1300 g, gestational age < or = 30 weeks): six fed preterm human milk fortified with a commercially available protein-mineral supplement (protein 0.7 g/dl, calcium 90 mg/dl, phosphorus 45 mg/dl) and seven fed unfortified preterm human milk. Nitrogen and energy balance studies were performed at an average age of 56 postnatal days. Nitrogen retention in the fortified group (348.2 +/- 70.5 mg/kg/day) was significantly greater than that in the unfortified group (196.0 +/- 50.0 mg/kg/day) and similar to that of fetuses of comparable gestational age. Energy stored by the two groups did not differ. At age 8 weeks, the infants in the fortified group had higher serum protein, higher serum albumin, and better mineral status (higher serum calcium and phosphorus and lower alkaline phosphatase and renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate). The bone density and width of the distal third radius, as measured by X-ray microdensitometry, were greater in the fortified group than in the unfortified group 12 weeks after birth. These results suggest that the supplement corrects any nutritional inadequacies of preterm human milk for very low birth weight infants.

Abstract
To construct standard growth curves for Japanese infants of very low birth weight (VLBW) with birth weights of 500-1499 g, we reviewed longitudinal data provided by 54 neonatal intensive care units in Japan. A total of 382 surviving singleton infants, appropriate for gestational age infants, and who were free of neurological sequelae at more than 2.5 years of age, were enrolled. Growth curves, including body weight, head circumference and body length were generated for four ranges of birth weight: 500-749 g, 750-999 g, 1000-1249 g, and 1250-1499 g. When compared with previously published growth data from western countries, Japanese infants of VLBW showed greater weight loss, regained birth weight more slowly, and exhibited smaller average gains in weight, head circumference, and body length. The growth curves reported in western countries may not be useful as reference standards of early postnatal growth in Japan. The new growth curves are a more accurate reflection of current in-hospital growth trends in Japan.

Abstract
This study evaluated the efficacy of a new patient-triggered ventilator that triggered the patient's inspiratory effort by detecting the change in airflow by means of a 'hot wire' anemometer. This ventilator was used in both the conventional and the synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) modes in seven neonates. Values for blood gas, spontaneous breathing rate, tidal volume of spontaneous breaths and minute volume were compared in all seven neonates. The resistive work of spontaneous breathing in five neonates, obtained with synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation was compared with the values obtained using conventional mechanical ventilation on the previous day of weaning from the ventilator. At each the inflation time studied (0.4, 0.3, 0.24 s), all mechanical breath occurred synchronously with infants' inspiratory efforts. The median trigger delay was 80 ms. Oxygenation was improved on the new system compared with the conventional system. Tidal volume of spontaneous breathing and minute volume were increased with SIMV compared with conventional mechanical ventilation, although the resistive work of spontaneous breathing was decreased with SIMV. The tidal volume of spontaneous breaths was more constant with SIMV versus conventional mechanical ventilation. Thus, the airway flow-triggered SIMV may lessen inspiratory muscle fatigue during weaning process. We conclude that the SIMV is useful in weaning neonates from the ventilator.

Abstract
To construct standard growth curves for Japanese infants of very low birthweight, longitudinal data provided by 47 neonatal centers in Japan were reviewed. Data were collected on the growth of infants admitted to those units during 1986 and 1987 and who survived beyond 3 years of age. A total of 379 singleton infants, who were free of neurological sequelae and appropriate for gestational age, were enrolled. Those whose birthweights were more than 600 g and less than 1,500 g were grouped into nine weight categories separated by increments of 100 g. Data on the increase in weight and head circumference were compiled and analyzed until more than half the infants in each weight category had been discharged from each site. Growth curves of bodyweight and head circumference in the nine groups were constructed using polynomial regression analysis to define the curve of best fit. With increasing prematurity, significant trends of greater weight loss (P < 0.05), longer time to reach the lowest weight (P < 0.01) and a longer time to regain birthweight (P < 0.01) were observed. In addition, there was a significantly higher incidence of chronic lung disease in such groups (P < 0.0001). Growth curves were characterized by the average clinical profiles in each of the nine groups. We believe that these data will be useful in evaluating the growth of very low birthweight infants being cared for in modern neonatal intensive care units in Japan.

Abstract
The effects of mean airway pressure (MAP) on bronchial mucosal blood flow at the carina in nine anesthetized adult rabbits undergoing high frequency ventilation were studied. The animals were given oleic acid to diminish lung compliance and to exclude the influences of increasing MAP on systemic venous return. Mucosal blood flow decreased significantly when MAP exceeded 14 cmH2O. Mucosal blood velocity tended to decrease as higher levels of MAP were applied. Mucosal blood volume decreased significantly when MAP exceeded 20 cmH2O. Hemodynamics, arterial blood gas values and pH were not changed significantly. Our data demonstrate that bronchial mucosal blood flow decreases at high levels of MAP even if cardiac output remains constant. Hence this decrease of bronchial mucosal blood flow may be due to the transmission of pressure to submucosal bronchial capillaries.

Abstract
We studied the nutritional effects of two types of human milk fortifiers for very low birth weight infants. These studies suggest that fortified human milk provides nutritional advantages for very low birth weight infants. However, providing calcium and phosphorus with supplementation is necessary for the improvement of bone density.

Abstract
A case of membranous septal aneurysm with aortic regurgitation (AR) in a 13-year-old male was reported. As AR was progressed rapidly in this case, aneurysmorrhaphy of membranous septal aneurysm and aortic valve plication were performed. The postoperative coarse was uneventful. It was considered that the course of AR was prolapse of aortic valve related with membranous septal aneurysm.

Abstract
Serial changes in phosphorus metabolites after intravenous administration of fructose were compared between five healthy volunteers and five patients with chronic hepatitis by means of phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy. P-31 spectra were obtained every 5 minutes after intravenous drip infusion of 20% fructose at a dose of 0.5 g/kg of body weight. In the healthy volunteers, phosphomonoesters (PME) increased to 338% +/- 76% of the preadministration value at 15-20 minutes. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) was depleted in the first 15 minutes, then rebounded to 260% +/- 67% of the initial value. beta-adenosine triphosphate decreased to less than 50% of its initial value and then gradually recovered. In patients with chronic hepatitis, the increase of PME at 15-20 minutes (151% +/- 49% of the preadministration value) was significantly less than that in healthy volunteers (P less than .05). In addition, the rebound of Pi at 35-40 minutes (126% +/- 42%) was significantly less than that in healthy volunteers (P less than .05). In conclusion, P-31 MR spectroscopy with fructose administration is valuable in the functional evaluation of diffuse liver diseases.

Abstract
An 82-year-old woman was admitted to Iwamizawa Rosai Hospital, Cardiovascular Medicine, for detailed examination of an aneurysm of abdominal aorta. CT scan revealed marked swelling of para-aortic lymph nodes which regressed spontaneously in three months. She was re-admitted to our hospital because of general malaise and gait disturbance. Her chest X-ray on the second admission revealed miliary disseminated shadows, which were confirmed to be tuberculous granuloma by lung biopsy. She was initially well controlled with anti-tuberculosis drugs, followed by severe liver dysfunction and pancytopenia, and died of respiratory and cardiac failure. At autopsy, wide-spread malignant lymphoma and miliary tuberculosis of the lung were found. The cause of liver dysfunction was strongly suspected to be due to infiltration of the lymphoma cells to portal triads of the liver. Hemophagocytosis found in the bone marrow, spleen and liver might be consistent with clinically so-called "hemophagocytic syndrome", causing pancytopenia, associated with infection.

Abstract
It has been reported that MR imaging of the spleen is unsuccessful in detecting focal lesions because there is not a significant difference in relaxation times between most tumors and surrounding normal spleen. We reviewed the MR imaging of 15 patients (5 cysts, 2 abscesses, 1 hemangioma, 5 malignant lymphomas, 2 metastatic tumors). In all cases, the difference in signal intensities between splenic tissue and mass lesions permitted detection of splenic lesions on MR images. But, malignant lesions were less visible than benign lesions.

Abstract
A case of a 66 year-old female with aortitis syndrome with right coronary arterial obstruction, was reported. The coronary arteriogram showed total occlusion of the right coronary artery (segment 2). On the aortogram, stenosis of the left common carotid artery, kinking and aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta were revealed. Because she developed frequent attacks of effort angina and the descending thoracic aneurysm was small in diameter 38 mm, coronary bypass grafting to the right coronary artery was performed using the in situ right gastroepiploic artery. Postoperative course was not eventful and chest pain disappeared. In such cases, the right gastroepiploic artery is useful for coronary artery bypass grafting.

Abstract
Anomalous coronary artery originating from the aorta without complicated congenital cardiac anomaly is rare. We describe a case with the left coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva. Cardiac catheterization revealed a left coronary artery transverse between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. Severe atherosclerotic stenosis was present at segment 3 of the right coronary artery. Electrocardiogram and myocardial scintigraphy revealed that the angina occurred due to stenosis of the right coronary artery. We tried PTCA, but could not pass the catheter through the stenosis. After PTCA, he complained of anterior chest pain frequently, so we performed an aortocoronary bypass operation to the right coronary artery with saphenous vein graft. Postoperative course was not eventful and angina disappeared.

Abstract
Sixty-one CT scans in 20 patients who had undergone head and neck reconstructive surgery using a pectoralis major myocutaneous (PM-MC) flap were retrospectively evaluated to assess the usefulness of Ct in the follow-up of these patients. The normal CT findings in patients with PM-MC flaps are described. Of 13 cases with tumor recurrence, CT examination correctly detected recurrent masses in all cases, including 3 in which there was no clinical sign of recurrence. Postoperative masses mimicking tumor recurrence included deformed breast tissue, hematomas, lymphoceles, and abscesses. Computed tomography was of great value in the detection of tumor recurrence, but careful interpretation is required because a postoperative complication or anatomic alteration may lead to the erroneous diagnosis of tumor recurrence.

Abstract
The patient was 63-year-old man, who underwent patch closure of VSP 37 days after onset. LVAD was required for weaning from CPB. Mediastinitis occurred after LVAD was removed. The mediastinum was irrigated using diluted antibiotics through the retrosternal drain. He discharged on 79th day postoperatively. False aortic aneurysm and marked AR was pointed out by cineangiography and enhanced CT scan two years after operation. AVR was performed through right thoracotomy, because false aortic aneurysm invaded the sternum. The aneurysmal wall was repaired with patch. Postoperatively, peritoneal dialysis was performed for two days. Flail chest made difficult weaning from the respirator. He died 11 days postoperatively due to respiratory failure. There remains the possibility that mediastinitis resulted in false aortic aneurysm and AR. It was esseutial to remove the foreign materials placed on the aorta for eradication of infection.

Abstract
The relationship between the cytomorphologic features, the nuclear DNA patterns and the clinical prognosis of patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung was studied. In cases in the long-survival group (greater than or equal to 24 months), bronchial brushing smears contained a relatively high frequency of nuclei with large, irregular shapes and finely granular chromatin patterns, in comparison with patients in the short-survival group (less than or equal to 9 months); the correlation was not statistically significant, however. The incidence of cells with round or oval nuclei and finely granular chromatin patterns was higher in patients whose cells had hyperdiploid DNA patterns than for patients whose cells had near-diploid patterns; again, the difference was not statistically significant. Patients whose tumor cells had hyperdiploid DNA patterns had significantly shorter survival times than did patients whose tumor cells had near-diploid patterns. These results indicate that (1) judging the nuclear DNA pattern from the cytomorphologic features of small cell carcinoma is unreliable and (2) the nuclear DNA patterns are related to the clinical prognosis of patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung.
