Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the handling properties of synthetic absorbable and monofilament polypropylene sutures made by two different manufacturers and to compare a subjective evaluation by surgeons to the results of standardized biomechanical performance tests. The surgeons' clinical subjective evaluation of the monofilament polypropylene sutures correlated with the results of the biomechanical performance studies, whereas the biomechanical evaluation of the two synthetic absorbable sutures detected notable differences in their performance. These distinct differences in biomechanical performance of the absorbable sutures did not alter their performance in the subjective clinical evaluation.

Abstract
PROBLEM To investigate the expression of integrin (ITG) cell adhesion molecules on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and their correlation with endometrial cell ITG expression in fertile and infertile women during peak uterine receptive period (day 19/20). METHOD OF STUDY Surface marker expression and quantification of alpha6, alpha4 and beta3 ITG subunits was done by immunohistochemistry, indirect immunofluroscence and cell-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods using endometrial cells and PBL obtained from fertile and infertile (unexplained infertility) women. RESULTS The expression of ITGs was significantly (P<0.001) decreased in the endometrial cells of infertile women compared to normal fertile women. These results correlated well with the data obtained using PBL-ITG expression. CONCLUSIONS If these preliminary data are consistent in a larger group of patients, the expression of alpha4 and beta3-ITG subunits on PBL may be used as clinical markers to assess endometrial receptivity in infertile women. Moreover, frequent blood sampling is advantageous over repeated endometrial biopsies as the former approach is easier, non-traumatic and avoids intra-uterine infections.

Abstract
In this article we describe a case of adolescent squamous cell carcinoma of the gingiva. The tumor presented as an ulcerative lesion of the gingiva that was originally thought to be pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia. The pathologic differentiation between squamous cell carcinoma and pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia is discussed and a review of the literature with respect to pediatric and adolescent oral squamous cell carcinoma is presented. The reported case illustrates the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to histopathologically distinguish between pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia and well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.

Abstract
This lecture provides an overview of advances in wound repair devised by our multidisciplinary team of physicians, scientists, and students. Our collective efforts have devised products, drugs, and concepts that are facilitating wound repair without infection and with the least possible scar. Some of the beneficial products and drugs developed or identified by our laboratory include nitrile examination and surgical gloves, magnification loupes, high pressure syringe irrigation, Shur Clens, as well as a wide variety of different wound closure techniques. In addition, our studies of the mechanism of wound injury, soil infection-potentiating fractions, dynamic and static skin tensions, and microflora of the skin have become important predictors of the outcomes of wound repair. During the new millennium, the computerized clinical information system as well as studies of tissue regeneration should dramatically change our approaches to wound repair.

Abstract
During 1996, 1997, and 1999, studies were conducted in cotton, sugar beets, alfalfa, yardlong bean, and peanut fields to compare insect catches in CC traps equipped with different trap base colors. The studies were conducted in southwestern United States, China, and India. The nine colors, white, rum, red, yellow, lime green, spring green, woodland green (dark green), true blue, and black, varied in spectral reflectance in the visible (400-700 nm) and near-infrared (700-1050 nm) portions of spectrum. Lime green, yellow, and spring green were the three most attractive trap base colors for silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring, and leafhopper, Empoasca spp. adults. The three trap base colors were moderately high in the green, yellow, and orange spectral regions (490-600 nm), resembling the spectral reflectance curve of the abaxial (underleaf) surfaces of green cotton leaves. True blue and white were the most attractive trap base colors for western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), adults. The true blue and white trap bases were moderately high in the blue spectral region (400-480 nm).

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate ten commercially available latex, powder-free surgical gloves and four commercially available non-latex, powder-free surgical gloves using standardized, reproducible biomechanical parameters that included glove thickness, puncture resistance, and glove donning force. For all gloves tested, with one exception (Neolontrade mark PF), puncture resistance increased for double-gloves as compared to single-gloves. In addition, single-glove thickness was not a reliable determinant of puncture resistance for either latex or non-latex gloves. For the latex gloves, the Ultrafree double and single-gloves exhibited the highest puncture resistance. The glove donning forces for the Biogeltrade mark M and Biogel Sensortrade mark single-gloves were the lowest. In contrast, the Biogel Revealtrade mark and Encoretrade mark Ultra-Thick exhibited the lowest double-glove donning forces. On the basis of these performance tests of latex gloves, the surgeon should consider the Biogel Reveal as well as the Ultrafree gloves for their latex double-glove system. For the non-latex gloves, the Pure Advantage Nitriletrade mark glove had the highest puncture resistance for one layer and two layers of glove material. The thin Pure Advantage Nitrile glove was the most resistant to glove puncture. The Pure Advantage Nitrile glove had low glove donning forces for both single-glove donning configurations and double-glove donning configurations. Consequently, we recommend the Pure Advantage Nitrile glove as the powder-free, non-latex, double-glove system.

Abstract
Biomechanical performance studies were undertaken for powder-free, latex and nitrile examination gloves. Using standardized tests, examination glove performance was judged by measuring glove thickness, glove puncture force, glove tape adhesion force, glove donning force, glove stiffness, and immediate unrecovered stretch. Even though the nitrile examination gloves were thinner than the latex examination gloves, they exhibited a greater puncture resistance. In addition, tape adherence to the N-Dex nitrile glove was the lowest. Moreover, measurements of the handling characteristics of the nitrile examination gloves demonstrated that they are an acceptable alternative to latex examination gloves. While these biomechanical studies demonstrate the superiority of the nitrile examination gloves, clinical glove evaluation is still needed to determine their performance in the health care setting.

Abstract
1. The nutritive value of squilla meal, which contained 339 g crude protein, 18.6 g ether extract, 72.8 g calcium, 17.2 g phosphorus and 7.13 MJ of apparent metabolisable energy/kg, was examined in 5 experiments with broilers. 2. Squilla meal contained less lysine (3.45 vs 6.74 g/16g nitrogen) and methionine (1.02 vs 1.86/16 g nitrogen) than fish meal, had a lower protein digestibility coefficient (0.66 vs 0.72) and a lower gross protein value (68% vs 74%). 3. By gradually replacing the fish meal with squilla meal in isocaloric, isonitrogenous broiler diets it was shown that there was a linear decrease in broiler weight gain; efficiencies of food utilisation were also lower at all squilla meal substitution rates. Inclusion of squilla meal in the diets increased intestinal lengths. 4. Addition of a proteolytic enzyme to the diets containing squilla meal restored broiler weight gain and efficiency of food utilisation to that of birds fed on the control diet. 5. Diets containing autoclaved squilla meal resulted in reduced weight gain although efficiency of food utilisation was not affected.

Abstract
Femoral shaft fractures with comminution are indicators for primary bone grafting. Problems related to autograft use have led us to evolve methods using allografts preserved in formalin. This method is cheap, easy, reliable and is readily available in the poorer countries. Comparison of 20 cases using allograft paste with 20 cases using allograft chips slivers in similar femoral shaft fractures was done. In both cases, the fusion time was slightly delayed as compared to cases using autograft. The infection rates were comparable, but it was noticed that bone paste got resorbed in 2 cases, leading to plate bending and malunion. The theoretical advantage of the bone paste in filling up the defects and crevices in the comminuted fractures was offset by the practical disadvantage of having no osteoconductive scaffolding, which was provided by the bone chips. It is thus recommended that formalin preserved bone allograft paste may be better suited for use in bony cavities and joint replacements, while formalin preserved bone chips are a good alternative to bone autografts, especially in polytrauma cases. Formalin preserved allografts are a viable alternative method for use in third world countries.

Abstract
1. The performance of White Leghorn laying hens on diets providing pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) at 300 and 600 g/kg to replace maize, part per part, or "maize mix" isoenergetically and isonitrogenously in the first experiment and at 600 g/kg diet to replace maize in toto, part per part, in the second experiment were examined. In the first experiment, 3 groups of 12 laying hens were placed on each of the 5 dietary treatments for 3 x 28 d, whereas in the second experiment, each of the two diets was offered to 10 groups of 15 laying hens for 6 x 28 d. 2. Inclusion of pearl millet in the diet at the expense of maize, part per part, did not significantly influence hen-day egg production, feed intake, feed efficiency and body weight in either experiment. Incorporation of pearl millet isoenergetically at the expense of "maize mix" at any level, i.e. 300 g or 600 g/kg (Experiment 1), also did not influence hen-day egg production but at the end of periods 2 and 3 did result in decreased feed intakes with consequent improvements in feed efficiency. 3. Egg weight in general showed a tendency to improve with diets providing pearl millet at 600 g/kg. 4. Profits from egg sales over feed cost were directly proportional to the inclusion of pearl millet in the diet either at the expense of maize, part per part, or "maize mix" isoenergetically.

Abstract
A simple, rapid procedure has been developed for extraction of uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin isomers from biological tissues. The recoveries of known standards of uroporphyrin I and III and coproporphyrin I and III were performed from liver, kidney, testis, and bone marrow of the rat. The extracted samples were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. This method is suitable for the study of drug- and toxicant-induced porphyrias characterized by alterations of the ratios of the I and III isomers of uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin.

Abstract
Toxic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), such as chloracne, hirsutism, and skin hyperpigmentation, suggest endocrine involvement, however, little is known about the effects of TCDD on steroidogenic organs. It is known that TCDD can cause decreases in testicular heme, testicular microsomal cytochrome P-450, and serum testosterone in the rat. This study was designed to examine the activities of the testicular hemoprotein microsomal cytochrome P-450-dependent enzymes, 17-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase, following a single, oral dose of either 12.5, 25, or 50 micrograms/kg TCDD. TCDD caused dose- and time-dependent decreases in the activity of the 17-hydroxylase enzyme. Significant decreases were observed at 3, 7 and 14 days at the lowest dose of 12.5 micrograms/kg TCDD. The 17,20-lyase enzyme seemed to be less sensitive to the toxic effects of TCDD with significant decreases in enzyme activity being observed at days 3, 7 and 14 only after treatment with 50 micrograms/kg TCDD. Both microsomal cytochrome P-450 and serum testosterone levels decreased in a dose- and time-dependent manner following 12.5, 25 and 50 micrograms/kg doses of TCDD. These results indicate that decreased testosterone production following treatment with TCDD is related to decreased activities of the testicular microsomal cytochrome P-450-dependent enzymes 17-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase.

Abstract
Repeated administration of human chorionic gonadotropin to rats results in a maximal depression of testicular microsomal heme and cytochrome P-450 levels at 24 h, followed by increases that plateau at pretreatment levels by day six. Associated with the depressed levels of microsomal heme and cytochrome P-450 is an increase of testicular microsomal heme oxygenase activity at 12-24 h. Testicular mitochondrial delta-aminolevulinic acid synthase activity was increased at 24 h, and remained elevated throughout the 9-day treatment period. Pretreatment with 1,4,6-androstatrien-3,17-dione, an aromatase inhibitor, failed to prevent the depression of testicular microsomal heme or cytochrome P-450 or increased heme oxygenase activity caused by repeated administration of human chorionic gonadotropin, and administration of estradiol benzoate failed to alter testicular microsomal heme oxygenase activity suggesting that these parameters were not related to altered testicular estrogen content caused by increased aromatase activity. These results suggest that increased testicular heme oxygenase activity is associated with decreased microsomal heme and cytochrome P-450 content during human chorionic gonadotropin-induced desensitization.

Abstract
The ability of rat hepatic uroporphyrinogen cosynthase to direct formation of uroporphyrinogen III and the synthesis of uroporphyrinogen in vitro was impaired by sulfamerazine. Inhibition was reversed by the addition of folic acid. Administration of a single, oral dose (1 g/kg) of sulfamerazine to rats was associated with elevated levels of hepatic uroporphyrin I isomer. These results suggest that sulfonamides may interfere with the biosynthesis of uroporphyrinogen III.

Abstract
1. Calcium and phosphorus requirements of growing female Japanese quail during 4 and 5 weeks of age were estimated in a 4 x 3 factorial experiment comprising 5, 7, 9 and 11 g calcium and 5, 6 and 7 g phosphorus/kg diet. 2. Responses in weight gain, bone ash, food intake and food : gain ratio showed no significant differences due to varying dietary calcium and phosphorus concentrations. 3. It appears that growing Japanese quail require not more than 5 g calcium and not more than 5 g phosphorus (2 g available phosphorus)/kg diet (398 mg calcium and 398 mg phosphorus or 159 mg available phosphorus MJ ME).
