Abstract
A successful case of laparoscopic ileocecal resection is presented. The laparoscopic surgical techniques are described. Advantages, disadvantages and controversial issues surrounding laparoscopic or laparoscopically assisted colorectal surgery are discussed. Reviewing the current literature and the authors' collective clinical experience, the conclusion is that laparoscopic or laparoscopically assisted procedures are clear indications for benign colorectal diseases. The authors believe that these approaches can be employed as palliative measures in malignant diseases or as curative procedures in prospective randomised trials.

Abstract
Transgenic mice were produced carrying the coding region of the rabbit kappa-casein gene linked to the upstream region of the rabbit whey acidic protein gene. Mice from the highest-expressing line produced 2.5 mg rabbit kappa-casein/ml in their milk. The foreign protein was associated with the casein micelles and altered micelle size, though in the high-expressing line rabbit kappa-casein also segregated into the whey fraction obtained after centrifuging the milk samples. Milk from transgenic mice had the same overall protein content as that from non-transgenic mice, except for the transgene product. However, litters fed with this transgenic mouse milk grew less well than litters given milk from non-transgenic mice. This reduction in growth was not related to changes in mammary gland structure or mammary cell morphology. Preliminary results indicated that milk from the transgenic mice had a higher viscosity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to survey the connection between the fetal nuchal oedema and the increased risk of the aneuploidies. According to the prenatal care the thickness of the nuchal fold was measured on the 11-12th gestational week by 6.5 MHz transvaginal transducer (ATL-HDI and Hitachi EUB-450). Cases were underlined where the presence of nuchal oedema (> or = 3 mm) made the indication for chromosomal analysis among the 280 single pregnancies and fetal karyotyping was carried out. Nuchal oedema was observed in 72/280 cases of pregnant women under 35 years old and in 20/280 cases of that above 35 years old, the nuchal oedema was another indication beside the age. Abnormal karyotype was observed in 9/72 (12.5%) cases among the pregnant women under 35 years old and in 10/92 (10.87%) cases among the pregnancies with fetal nuchal oedema. It was also observed abnormal karyotype in 6/188 (3.19%) cases of pregnancies without nuchal oedema and in 16/280 (5.71%) cases of chromosomal analyses with or without nuchal oedema. This can be an effective method for screening the fetal aneuploidies and other fetal anomalies, both in the high risk and the normal pregnant population, especially in cases of pregnant women under 35 years old belonging to the normal genetical risk population.

Abstract
Aromatic amino acids are believed to play a pivotal role in carbohydrate-binding proteins, by forming hydrophobic stacking interactions with the sugar rings of their target ligands. Family 10 cellulose-binding modules (CBM10s), present in a number of cellulases and xylanases expressed by Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa, contain two tyrosine and three tryptophan residues which are highly conserved. To investigate whether these amino acids play an important role in the interaction of CBM10 from P. fluorescens subsp. cellulosa xylanase A (Pf Xyn10A) with cellulose, each of these residues was changed to alanine in CBM10 expressed as a discrete module or fused to the catalytic domain of Pf Xyn10A (CBM10-CD), and the capacity of the mutant proteins of CBM10-CD to bind the polysaccharide was evaluated. The data showed that W22A, W24A, and Y8A bound very weakly to cellulose compared to the wild-type protein, while Y12A retained its capacity to interact with the glucose polymer. When the W7A mutation was introduced into CBM10 the protein domain did not accumulate in Escherichia coli. In contrast, the W7A mutant of CBM10-CD was efficiently expressed in E. coli, although the protein bound very weakly to cellulose. NMR spectra of wild-type CBM10, W22A, and W24A were very similar, suggesting that the mutations did not significantly affect the protein fold. Titration of wild-type CBM10, W22A, and W24A with N-bromosuccinimide indicated that Trp22 and Trp24 were on the surface of the protein, while Trp7 was buried. Collectively, these data indicate that Trp22, Trp24, and Tyr8 play a direct role in the binding of Pf Xyn10A CBM10 to cellulose. The results are discussed in the light of the three-dimensional structure of CBM10 [Raghothama, S., Simpson, P. J., Szabó, L., Nagy, T., Gilbert, H. J., and Williamson, M. P. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 978-984].

Abstract
Plant cell wall hydrolases generally have a modular structure consisting of a catalytic domain linked to one or more noncatalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), whose common function is to attach the enzyme to the polymeric substrate. Xylanase A from Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa (Pf Xyn10A) consists of a family 10 catalytic domain, an N-terminal family IIa cellulose-binding module, and an internal family 10 cellulose-binding module. The structure of the 45-residue family 10 CBM has been determined in solution using NMR. It consists of two antiparallel beta-sheets, one with two strands and one with three, with a short alpha-helix across one face of the three-stranded sheet. There is a high density of aromatic residues on one side of the protein, including three aromatic residues (Tyr8, Trp22, and Trp24), which are exposed and form a flat surface on one face, in a classical polysaccharide-binding arrangement. The fold is closely similar to that of the oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB) fold, but appears to have arisen by convergent evolution, because there is no sequence similarity, and the presumed binding sites are on different faces.

Abstract
The virulent bacteriophage BL11 infects almost all Bacillus licheniformis strains tested, including the industrial bacitracin-producing B. licheniformis 19. B. licheniformis ATCC 9800, however, was virtually insensitive to phage BL11 infection, and all of the few surviving progeny phages proved to be mutants. The phage-resistance mechanism was neither inhibition of adsorption, nor restriction or exclusion provided by a resident prophage, but was, instead, of another type. Phage BL11 adsorbed well on to ATCC 9800 cells, its DNA was injected, but replication of phage DNA was inhibited and the infected cells died. Thus, the mechanism of phage resistance was identified as abortive infection (AbiBL11). The so-called abiBL11 gene was identified on the chromosome of strain ATCC 9800 by Tn917PF1 transposon mutagenesis. Part of the abiBL11 gene from the phage-sensitive ATCC 9800::Tn917PFI was cloned. Gene-disruption analysis, based on Campbell-type integration, showed that a 0.3-kb EcoRI fragment contained the 5' end of abiBL11. The promoter region of abiBL11 was identified using promoter- and terminator-probe plasmids. The deduced sequence (206 amino acids) of the N-terminal part of abiBL11 showed no significant homology to known abortive-infection genes, but did show homology to a Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene coding for a serine/threonine protein kinase (RCK1).

Abstract
The authors constructed a new dynamic guiding splint assisting the active mobilisation after flexor tendon repair distal to the wrist. In these cases, the "inverse" wrist position seems to be the best position for mobilisation. This means that finger flexion should be carried out during wrist extension, and finger extension during wrist flexion. The splint guides and co-ordinates the movements of the wrist and the fingers, and it limits the free usage of the hand.

Abstract
The Bacillus licheniformis beta-galactosidase gene, lacBl, was cloned on a 5.8-kb HindIII fragment into pBR322 and expressed by its own promoter in Escherichia coli. Deletion and complementation analysis showed that the enzyme-encoding region was located on a 4. 1-kb HindIII-ClaI fragment. The transcription region for the lacBl was identified on this fragment with promoter- and terminator-probe plasmids. The deduced sequence of 149 aa of the N-terminal part of lacBl showed aa sequence homology with beta-Gal from B. stearothermophilus, B. circulans, Haloferax alicantei, Clostridium perfringens, Arthrobacter sp.. No significant homology was shared with those found in the lacZ and lacS families. The recombinant beta-galactosidase (LacB1) was purified by FPLC. The molecular mass of the enzyme (80 kDa) and its optimal pH (5.7) and temperature (45 degrees C) were determined.

Abstract
An oral contraceptive containing gestodene (Minulet) was examined in collaborating with the Richter-Wyeth Pharmaceutical Factory. The authors present their experiences of monitoring of 591 cycles of a hundred women between 18 and 35 years of age. There were no pregnancy and severe side effects during that period. Irregular bleeding occurred in 17.5% of women in the beginning of the treatment, however it gradually decreased and ceased by the fifth cycle. Both the length and the quantity of the withdrawal bleeding decreased by the end of the sixth cycle. During the observation there was no amenorrhoea and the dysmenorrhoea presented a decreasing tendency, expressing in per cent of the cycles. Their own data support, that the oral contraceptives containing gestodene meet requirements of today's medical science, and beyond the low hormone content they also fulfil the next demands: reliable contraceptive effect, efficacy, excellent cycle control, good tolerability and limited side effects.

Abstract
Splenectomy is known to increase the risk of overwhelming bacterial infection. There is a decrease in immunoglobulin IgM and T-lymphocytes, primary antibody response to antigen challenge is impaired, altered opsonic function an Tuftsin deficiency are noted. Splenic autotransplantation has been suggested as a method of preserving function and this concept is supported by experiments in animals. Prior to operation on humans the technique was thoroughly elaborated and practised in animal experiments (dogs). After splenectomy, 6-8 thin segments (Furka's "spleen chip") are placed in between the plates of the major omentum. Within the period of ten years out of 52 patients 11 children (4 girls, 7 boys) suffered from abdominal trauma underwent total splenectomy, and than autotransplantation in the Kenézy Hospital in Debrecen, Hungary. In several patients the postoperative follow-up radionuclide imaging, IgM, and Tuftsin levels, and the haematological changes (leukocytes, differential blood count, platelet count, iron level in serum) unambiguously confirmed the function of the splenic tissue.

Abstract
Fifty-five geographically different strains of Fusarium poae were assayed for the presence of extrachromosomal nucleic acid elements. All strains were found to harbour double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) elements and encapsidated virus-like particles (VLP). There were great individual differences in dsRNA patterns of the various strains, but numbers and sizes characteristic for a given isolate remained unchanged after repeated subculturing of the fungi. Morphological alterations or signs of degeneration were not observed in dsRNA-containing isolates. This is the first report on the ubiquitous occurrence of dsRNAs in a hyphomycete fungus species.

Abstract
General glycosidation methodology has been developed which can selectively provide 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha- or beta-glycosides of beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acid derivatives [glucopyranoside-(8, 43), galactopyranoside- (9, 13), mannopyranoside- (10), lactoside analogs (11, 38) and 3-O-beta-galactopyranosyl-mannopyranoside (12)] stereoselectively in excellent yield from the highly nucleophilic alpha-imino esters (Schiff bases) of L-serine and L-threonine. Various glycosides were converted via their amino and acetamido derivatives to Fmoc-protected serinyl- or threoninyl-glycosides (24-28, 37, 41, 46) which are all suitable building blocks for the solid-phase synthesis of O-glycopeptides. Complete 1H- and 13C-NMR data are provided for all compounds.

The final diagnosis was derived from radiological and hystological findings. The authors underline that the identification of a specific osteochondrodysplasia is quite difficult and postulates interdisciplinary cooperation between gynecologists, neonatologists, radiologists and pathologists. More effective counselling of affected families is the major purpose of all the efforts involved.

Abstract
A branched-chain hexasaccharide containing 3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid was released by detergent-promoted hydrolysis from Bordetella pertussis endotoxin preparations that were first dephosphorylated with aqueous HF and then treated with nitrous acid. Its structure (2) [Formula: See text] was determined by chemical and physical methods. This hexasaccharide is present in all four lipopolysaccharides that make up the B. pertussis strain 1414 (phase 1) endotoxin preparations analysed, and is situated near to the hydrophobic domains. An analogous structure reported previously (ref 7) is erroneous and should be disregarded.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between bladder dysfunction and impaired cardiovascular reflexes in diabetic children with no clinical symptoms of autonomic neuropathy. After 15 ml/kg of water intake, the time to first sensation to void, the voiding volume, the voiding time, the average and maximum urinary flows, and the time to maximum urinary flow were estimated by sonography and uroflowmetry in diabetic children with and without cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction (CAD), and in a healthy control group. The three groups of children were matched for age, weight and height. CAD was considered to be present if the results of cardiovascular tests were more than 2SD from the mean of healthy controls. Diabetic children with and without CAD had increased time to first sensation to void, voiding volume, and average urinary flow when compared with healthy children. Voiding volume and average and maximum urinary flows were higher in diabetic children with CAD than in those without CAD. Diabetic children with CAD had also a higher maximum urinary flow than diabetic children without CAD and healthy children. Diabetic children with CAD had a longer diabetes duration and a higher mean fructosamine level during the preceding 3 years than those without CAD. These findings suggest that diabetic children may have diminished sensation of bladder filling independent of impaired cardiovascular reflexes, however, the degree of bladder dysfunction parallels with CAD, both depending on diabetes duration and long-term glycaemic control.

Abstract
Anomalies of the vesicoureteric junction are important, particularly obstruction and reflux, as they may predispose to urinary tract infection. Over a 5-year period, 52 babies were referred with dilatation of the urinary tract detected antenatally or/and postnatally by ultrasound. Sixteen had an anomaly of the vesicoureteric junction: 9 had vesicoureteric reflux, 3 had ureteroceles, 1 had urethral stenosis with secondary reflux and 3 had stenosis of the vesicoureteric junction. Ten patients underwent 14 surgical procedures. The mean time to reconstructive surgery was 9.3 months. Ultrasonography showed regression of the dilatation in all patients who underwent surgery. Seven patients with minor dilatation are still under observation. In only 1 case was there loss of renal parenchyma. With conservative medical treatment the patients are 1 year old before reconstructive surgery is undertaken; with reflux, however, progression may indicate earlier surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the analgesic efficacy of the opioid agonist-antagonist Nubain during midtrimester therapeutic terminations with intra-amniotic PGF2 alpha or i.m. administration of the PGE2 derivative sulprostone. METHOD Following osmotic predilatation with laminaria tents patients were given as a premedication 10 mg Valium, 10 mg Nubain and 0.5 mg atropine i.m. prior to prostaglandin treatment, and sequential doses of Nubain during the uterine contractility period. Patients indicated their own perception of uterine pain on a differential graphic rating scale, and the attending physician also evaluated patients' discomfort on a 5-grade scale. RESULT In 55% of the cases patients experienced only 'mild' or 'moderate' pain. The mean induction-to-abortion interval was short (11.6 +/- 1.3 h). The well known gastrointestinal side-effects of the prostaglandins were avoided. CONCLUSION Nubain proved effective in stabilizing patients' condition during intra-amniotic instillation of prostaglandin, effectively relieved uterine pain during the myometrial contractility period, prevented the occurrence of prostaglandin-related side-effects, and provided simple and good anesthesia during instrumental removal of the already detached but retained placenta.

Abstract
The simultaneous recording of urodynamic parameters and x-ray imaging of the lower urinary tract is the ideal technique for a complex investigation of the lower urinary tract morphology and function. The urodynamic and micturating cystourethrography findings were reviewed in 57 children. The causes of the examinations were recurrent urinary tract infection, voiding dysfunction and urinary tract dilatation by ultrasound. 53/57 patients had a clear cystomanometry results. 4 did not cooperate. 15/53 had unstable bladder. 34/57 had vesico-ureteric reflux. Unilateral reflux was more frequently noted in children with an unstable bladder. In cases of a stable bladder, bilateral reflux occurred more frequently. The ureteric reflux in children with unstable bladder should resolve with therapy to decrease bladder activity. Urodynamics is complementary rather than competitive with radiologic investigations. It is necessary to make micturating cystourethrography with cystomanometry.

Abstract
The haptoglobin phenotype was determined in 2609 blood samples collected from every Hungarian county. The results of the nation-wide survey are in agreement with those of a series of previous studies in which only Budapest inhabitants were investigated. However, a statistically significant difference was found in the haptoglobin phenotype frequency and distribution of people living west and east of the Danube. A lower HP*1 frequency was observed in the inhabitants of the eastern part of Hungary when compared to those living in the western part.

Abstract
The title disaccharides were synthesized by mercuric cyanide-catalyzed condensation of methyl (4,5,7,8-tetra-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-alpha-D-manno-oct-2-ulopyranosyl bromide)onate and allyl 2-[(3R)-3-acetoxy-tetradecanamido]-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-beta-D- glucopyranoside, followed by phosphorylation of the alcoholic function of the amino sugar. The phosphorylated anomers were separated by chromatography and deprotected by conventional methods. Polymeric material was obtained by copolymerisation, catalyzed by peroxosulphate and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, of the alpha anomer with acrylamide; it contained ca. one disaccharide unit for 18 acrylamide residues.

Abstract
The clinical history of a 65-years-old man is described by authors with typical symptoms of the Kawasaki disease. The clinical picture of this syndrome is characterized by high fever, characteristic changes of mucous membrane and skin and enlargement of cervical lymph nodes. The disease is most frequent in Japan and very rare after the age of eighteen. The specific features of the case is emphasized in the adulthood and attention is drawn to the fact that their case is the oldest one in the literature.
