Abstract
Choristoma and thyroid gland malpositions are embryonal disorders. The aim of this article is ten years analysis of their diagnostic and operative treatment. In 1425 thyroidectomies we have found: one lingual, intratracheal, intracardial thyroid and ovarial struma; six separated intrathoracic goitre and 10 mostly intrathoracaly (80%) situated goitre; 1.4% out of all. Correct preoperative diagnosis we have in lingual thyroid, two intrathoracal thyroid and in all mostly intrathoracal thyroids, and in others after histopathological examination. Operative approach was: collar incision with medial sternotomy in nine, collar incision with lateral thoracotomy in three, right thoracotomy in two, and only collar incision in one. There were two operative complications, one recurrent nerve lesion and one mediastinal haematoma. There was no hypocalcaemia and mortality. Thyroid gland anomalies are very rare and associated with lot of problems in diagnostic and treatment. In specialised institutions frequency of operative complications is the same like in routine thyroid gland surgery.

Abstract
The clinical use of gentamicin is associated by nephrotoxicity in over 10% of patients. However, the biochemical events responsible for proximal tubular injury and acute renal failure (ARF) are still unclear. In the present study, effects of gentamicin and, comparatively, of mercuric chloride upon rat kidney cortex ectopeptidases were studied. Gentamicin was given i.p., 100 mg/kg daily for up to 6 days, mercuric chloride i.p. once 2.5 mg/kg to rats studied after 3 days. Kidney cortex aminopeptidase N decreased significantly after 3 and 6 days' treatment (p < 0.01), however, angiotensinase A significantly decreased after 3 (p < 0.01), and much more after 6 days of gentamicin treatment (p < 0.001). Dipeptidylpeptidase IV activity was significantly decreased only after 6 days of treatment with gentamicin. In mercuric chloride-induced ARF all three peptidase activities were markedly decreased (p < 0.001). These results suggest that gentamicin-induced decrease in ectopeptidase activities could compromise vasoactive and other biologically active peptides handling, with important consequences upon renal function and metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate bladder function parameters by means of quantitative radionuclide cystography (QRC) in anxious, irritable children with unstable bladder. METHODS Quantitative radionuclide cystography was performed in 18 children aged between 8 and 12 years, without evidence of neurologic and nephrologic disorders. Findings were compared with those obtained in 10 healthy children aged between 7 and 10 years. The dynamics of the bladder emptying were studied after intravenous injection of 37 MBq/10 kg b.w. 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) in the posterior views. Images of 90 frames every 2 sec. were stored in the 64 x 64 computer matrix during voiding. The patients voided into a container and the volumes were measured. RESULTS The parameters evaluated were: functional bladder capacity (ml)--FBC, expected bladder capacity (ml)--EBC, percentage of EBC (%), voided urine volume (ml)--VV, residual urine (ml)--RU, voiding time (sec)--VT, average flow rate (ml/sec)--AFR and peak flow rate (ml/sec)--PFR. There was a statistically significant difference between controls and children with unstable bladder in the following parameters: FBC 288 +/- 33 vs. 244 +/- 27 ml (p < 0.001), % of EBC 99 +/- 6 vs. 82 +/- 6% (p < 0.0001), VV 265 +/- 37 vs. 202 +/- 35 ml (p < 0.0001), RU 22 +/- 11 vs. 48 +/- 19 ml (p < 0.007), AFR 13 +/- 5 ml/sec vs. 9 +/- 4 ml/sec. (p < 0.01) and PFR 19 +/- 2 vs. 13 +/- 3 ml/s (p < 0.0001), respectively. The VT obtained from the control group of 23 +/- 9 s did not differ significantly from the value of children with unstable bladder of 28 +/- 14 s. CONCLUSION The results show that quantitative radionuclide cystography is a simple, noninvasive method, which allows a good separation of patients with unstable bladder from the children with normal voiding pattern.

Abstract
We report two cases, with liver and brain abscess, respectively, where fungus-like organisms belonging to the Hyphochytriomycota were found at the site of inflammation together with Peptococcus in the first and Cysticercus cellulosae in the second case. This is the first time these groups of organisms have been reported in human material. The role of hyphochytrids in human pathology remained uncertain as they were found together with already known human pathogens.

Abstract
The authors have investigated energy status of muscle tissue of the lower legs of Wistar rats subjected to freezing, as well as the dependence of ultrastructure changes in muscle tissue mitochondria on the intensity of freezing. The animals were divided into three experimental groups: two groups were exposed to cryoinjury of different intensity, while the third was the control one. Cryoinjury was applied over an experimental after thawing were taken samples of muscle tissue for the analysis of content of energy phosphates and carbohydrates' metabolites, respectively, as well as for morphometric analysis of mitochondria volume out of frozen right and unfrozen left lower legs. Results obtained from different experimental groups were compared mutually and with control group that was not exposed to cryoinjury, respectively. It was found that the freezing in muscle tissue caused hydrops degeneration of mitochondria, depletion of energy reserves, reduction of energy status and the activation of mechanism of anaerobic metabolism. All these alterations were proportional to the intensity of freezing and considerably influenced contractility function of muscle cells, causing prolonged spasm of arterioles in thawed tissue, i.e., rigor congelationis that was primarily defined as an important factor in the pathogenesis of ischemic impairment of thawed tissues.

Abstract
The choice of surgical approach for the resection of orbital tumor is as a rule determined by the tumor position in the orbital space and the best choice is the most direct approach to orbital tumor. Lateral orbitotomy as the extracranial orbital approach is favorable for radical resection of the tumor, which growth is limited to the anterior, lateral and superolateral orbital segment.

Abstract
The authors have investigated the role of sympathetic-adrenergic system in reperfusion of muscular tissue of the feet of Wistar rats immediately after thawing using alpha adrenergic blocker phentolamine methanesulfonate (Regitin). Cryoinjury was applied over an experimental model of local, controlled freezing of different intensity for certain experimental groups. Blood flow through microcirculation was measured by scintigraphy, following Tc-99m-pertechnetate clearance that was given in muscular mass of frozen right, as well as unfrozen left feet of rats. Results obtained in some experimental groups were compared mutually, as well as with the control group that was not exposed to cryoinjury. The investigations have revealed that immediately after thawing existed significant reduction, non-dependent of the intensity of freezing, in blood flow in microcirculation of both frozen and unfrozen feet of rats compared to the control group. Significant increase of microcirculatory blood flow in unfrozen feet was caused by blockade of sympathetic-adrenergic system, while the blood flow remained unchanged in the frozen ones. The reduction of blood flow in microcirculation of frozen tissues immediately after thawing was not associated with sympathetic-adrenergic factor.

Abstract
Sixty patients with previously documented autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) were investigated using dynamic kidney scintigraphy with 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA). Patients were subdivided in respect of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as follows: PKD I group (normal GFR), PKD II group (moderately reduced GFR), and PKD III (severely reduced GFR). Scintigraphic features, time activity curves, excretion parameters, global and individual kidney functions were analyzed. Because of GFR dependent sensitivity, in advanced renal failure being only 0.1, and low reproducibility (11% intraobserver, 22% interobserver), 99mTc-DTPA dynamic kidney scintigraphy cannot be generally recommended for the diagnosis of ADPKD, but has to become a routine method for functional evaluation of both global and individual renal functions, as well as degree of excretion disturbances in ADPKD patients.

Abstract
Histopathologic and ultrastructural changes in the tissues of frozen extremities of Wistar rats were investigated immediately after thawing. Three experimental groups were formed: two were exposed to cryoinjuries of different intensity, while the third was the control one. Cryoinjury was caused by experimental model of local, controlled freezing of hind, right extremities. Immediately after thawing the tissue samples were taken from frozen right and unfrozen left extremities, in which histopathologic and ultrastructural changes were compared mutually and with control group, respectively. It was observed that the freezing directly caused ultrastructural and histopathologic damage of the tissues that were manifested immediately after thawing and were proportional to the intensity of freezing. Simultaneously, in the tissues existed complex circulatory disorders manifested in open arteriovenous shunts, venous congestion and microcirculatory insufficiency caused by evident spasm of arteriolae that could be considered to be very significant pathogenetic factor in ischemic damage of unfreezed tissues.

Abstract
Balkan nephropathy (BEN) is commonly associated with urothelial cancer. Urothelial cancer is manifested in the advanced stage of disease. The aim of this study was to facilitate early detection of urothelial cancer in BEN patients and their family members living in an endemic region by using tumour markers, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), and a putative marker, ferritin. Fifteen BEN patients with normal renal function, 17 with renal failure (BEN-RF), 13 healthy members of their families (HFM), 14 patients with glomerulonephritis (GN) and 12 healthy controls (C) were studied. Serum CEA levels in BEN patients were within normal limits, however, in BEN-RF patients they were significantly increased over HFM (p<0.05). Serum TPA levels in BEN and BEN-RF patients were significantly higher than in the C and HFM groups (p<0.05). Urinary CEA was not significantly different between the groups studied. Urinary TPA levels in HFM (median 125 U/l, BEN (236 U/l) and BEN-RF (275 U/l) were significantly increased over C (30 U/l), however, TPA levels were increased also in GN patients (437 U/l). None of the BEN patients studied developed urothelial cancer during the ten years' follow-up. Markedly elevated urinary TPA-like levels in all patients studied (HFM, BEN, BEN-RF, GN) suggest that urinary TPA may not be a reliable tumour marker. However, the clinical relevance of high TPA levels in BEN patients should be evaluated.

Abstract
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is situated on the border of a great sylvatic rabies epizootics occurring in central and eastern Europe. That is the reason why a relatively small number of rabid animals have been registered. In 1997, 124 rabid animals, mainly red foxes, were identified. In recent years red fox rabies epizootics in Yugoslavia has annually spread 15-20 km to the south. Rabies in domestic animals, especially dogs, was characterized with furious clinical forms and dog-to-dog transmission typical of urban rabies. Sylvatic rabies has been almost completely eradicated in some countries of western Europe in the last years, mostly due to the method of oral vaccination of foxes-the main vector of rabies.

Abstract
The ultrasonically guided fine needle biopsy is cheap, very sensitive and specific method for the diagnosis of nonpalpable deep-seated lesions. During 1992 in the institute of Radiology of Military Medical Academy in Belgrade 87 biopsies of abdominal and 81 biopsies of retroperitoneal organs were performed for the cytological and histopathologic analysis. Deficient material was obtained in 15.4% of the cases. A good correlation between cytologic and histopathologic findings was observed, with diagnostic concordance in 90.8%. In 9 cases with falsely positive cytological diagnosis at the first examination, the diagnosis of malignancy was later confirmed by other diagnosis procedures. Diagnostic difficulties and the significance of adequate biopsy were particularly stressed.

Abstract
In Neurosurgical Clinic of Military Medical Academy prospective study about the use of denatured muscle graft in nerve repair is in progress, based on numerous experimental and sporadic clinical literature data. The first, experimental part of the investigation is directed to operative technique details and also to find out the manner and duration of muscle denaturation which provide ideal conditions for regenerating axons sprouting. It is concluded that greater pectoral muscle have to be muscle graft donor for nerve defects shorter than 6 cm, and sartorius muscle for those longer than 6 cm. Denaturation for 30 seconds in liquid nitrogen and after that in distilled water for 3 minutes results in micromorphological status in muscle graft which is optimal for axonal regeneration. In the second, clinical part of the work reparations of missile neurotmesis of radial nerve with denatured muscle grafts are performed. Preliminary results 9 months after operation are quite comparable with results after sural nerve graft reparation.

Abstract
The results obtained by the use of the smear method were analyzed in ex tempore diagnostics of 240 neurosurgical biopsies, done in the period from 1991 to 1993. Thirty three different pathologic lesions were found that had their special morphology on smears, indicating the high specificity of this method. In 226 cases (94.17%) the diagnosis was established correctly, but in 14 cases (5.83%) it was not: in three cases the diagnosis was falsely negative and in 11 falsely positive. The main causes of the diagnostic errors were analysed and they included the subjective factors and uncommonness of the analyzed tissue samples. The accuracy of 94.17% enabled sufficiently reliable use of this method in ex tempore diagnostics of neurosurgical biopsies.

Abstract
Six patients, three women and 3 men with lung hemangiopericytoma treated at the Military Medical Academy in the period 1971-1991 are reported. The youngest patient was 20 years, the oldest 69 years. Surgical treatment was performed in all patients, 3 lobectomies, one bilobectomy, one wedge resection and one extirpation. Multiple hemangiopericytoma was found in one patient which consisted of three separate tumours in the right lung. The other had solitary lesions. Malignant hemangiopericytoma, was found in 4 patients, one of them had metastases in the mediastinal lymphatic glands. Four patients are alive and are under control for nine years in the average without signs of recurrence.
