Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and fluorescence spectroscopies provide molecular-level insights on the interaction of paramagnetic and fluorescent species with the microenvironment. A series of dual molecular probes bearing fluorescent and paramagnetic moieties linked by flexible short polyether chains have been synthesized. These new molecular probes open the possibility to investigate various multi-component systems such as host-guest systems, polymeric micelles, gels and protein solutions by using EPR and fluorescence spectroscopies concertedly. The EPR and fluorescence spectra of these compounds show that the dependence of the rotational correlation time and fluorescence quantum yield on the chain length of the linker is not linear, due to the flexibility of the polyether linker. The quenching effect of the nitroxide moiety on the fluorescence intensity of the pyrene group varies with the linker length and flexibility. The interaction of these dual molecular probes with β-cyclodextrin, in solution and in polymeric gels, was evaluated and demonstrated by analysis of EPR and fluorescence spectra.

Abstract
Meconium peritonitis is a rare prenatal disease with an increased rate of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period. Distinctive features revealed by prenatal and postnatal ultrasoundmay be present: abdominal calcifications, ascites, polyhydramnios, meconium pseudocyst, echogenic mass and dilated bowel or intestinal obstruction. Establishing clear postnatal treatment and prognosis is difficult because of the heterogeneity of the results obtained by ultrasound. The aim of the study is to determine how prenatal diagnosis of meconium peritonitis is associated with perinatal management and further evolution. Clinical results are different depending on the presence of antenatal diagnosis of meconium peritonitis and its form, which can be mild or severe. Surgical treatment and management of meconium peritonitis depend on the clinical presentation of the newborn. Meconium peritonitis diagnosed prenatally differs from that of the newborn, not only concerning the mortality rates but also through reduced morbidity and overall better prognosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The authors bring to attention pancreaticojejunalanastomosis (PJA) performed after cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy(CPD). This type of anastomosis is renowned forits high risk of complications. Among these complications, pancreatic fistula (PF) is distinguishable due to a significant frequency, averaging 10%. It is perhaps the most unsafe type of anastomosis in digestive surgery, due to its pancreatic partnership. Performing a sealed APJ can be considered a great achievement: a digestive lumen is set in contact with a brittleparenchymal structure, centred by a delicate excretory channel, difficult to anastomose in itself. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied two distinct groups of patients undergoing CPD. A first group - 58 cases operated on between 1967 and 1983, and the second one - 70 cases operated on between 1984 - 2013. In all cases we performed PJA; by in-continuity loop technique in the first group, and with separate loop in the second group. In the second group we used a variant own technique that does not allow anastomotic loss of pancreatic fluid. Thus, a decline in the incidence of PF from 20% to 8% was obtained, the final percentage corresponding to group two. Of the 8% of patients with PF losses were recorded strictly at pancreatic level, with no bile or food contamination. Stenting was recorded for biliary- and pancreaticojejunal anastomoses in group two. DISCUSSIONS The percentage of PF after CPD did not show anynotable revival when comparing the 1980s period to the present. Also, mortality due to FP is approaching 40%, adaunting figure. The multitude of technical options for restoring bowel movement after CPD, over 80 procedures, further confirms the lack of safety and trust in relation to PJA.The authors bring forward several surgical gestures addressing PJA, gestures capable of providing an 8% frequency of PF,percentage which we consider to be reasonable. CONCLUSIONS The authors consider PJA stenting mandatory.Placing an isolated PJA on the short branch of the "Y", separate from the biliary and food flow, prevents the formation of a complex fistula. The proposed technique does not require a"duct - to - mucosa" type or "telescoping" type pancreaticojejunalanastomosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neoadjuvant radiotherapy is included in the treatment protocols for rectal tumors in stages = T3. The use of neoadjuvant radiotherapy allowed the limit of surgical oncologic safety margin to decrease with 1-2 cm and the abdominoperineal resection to be able to be performed in tumors situated at 4 cm from the anal verge. This modification of the treatment strategy increased the use of low, ultra low and colo-anal anastomoses. GOAL Through the analysis of these types of anastomoses and of the disadvantages of the abdomino-perineal resection, we aimed at performing a study on the patients which responded completely to radiotherapy by taking into account the criteria of oncologic safety and the sparing of the patients from surgical complications. MATERIAL AND METHOD We performed a retrospective study on 171 patients with rectal cancer treated in the 1st Clinic of Surgery from the Bucharest Oncology Institute between October 2007 and December 2013. RESULTS 141 patients received radiotherapy, out of which 9 responded completely. 5 of those 9 were not operated on and after variable clinical and paraclinical follow up (2-6 years),they did not present with local recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Not performing surgery in the patients with rectal cancer with a complete response to radiotherapy is a good solution and must be taken after a correct information of the patient about rectal surgery with the condition of strictly observing the selection criteria of the patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autogenous osteochondral mosaicplasty is the most common cartilage restoration technique in standard clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the return to sports 9 years after mosaicplasty of the femoral condyles. HYPOTHESIS The long-term results of an osteochondral autograft show that patients can regain their pre-injury activity level. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study is based on a series of 25 patients with a mean age of 28.9 years (range, 16-44 years) who had stage 3 or 4 chondral lesions of the femoral condyles (according to the ICRS or ICRS-OCD scores). The origin of the lesion was osteochondritis dissecans (13 knees), osteochondral fracture sequelae (ten knees), or aseptic osteonecrosis (two knees). The average size of the lesion was 2.11 ± 0.9 cm(2). Ten patients (40%) had an associated procedure during the osteochondral autograft. The patients were assessed clinically (IKDC and Lysholm-Tegner scores) and radiographically by a reviewer independent of the team of operators. RESULTS All patients were re-examined at a mean follow-up of 9 years (range, 6-15 years), with 84% satisfied or very satisfied with the procedure. The average IKDC was 74.5 ± 18.5 points. The average Lysholm score was 87.3 ± 11.6 points. The average Tegner score ranged from 6.35 ± 1.53 points prior to surgery to 5.60 ± 1.64 points after surgery (P = 0.001). The average loss was 0.64 points for patients whose presurgery Tegner score was greater than or equal to 7 (P = 0.019) and 0.3 points if lower than 7. The radiologic evaluation of 21 patients showed complete osteointegration of the grafts in 90% of cases. CONCLUSION The results of the femoral condyle mosaic autografts are satisfactory, a mean of 9 years after surgery. The most active patients lowered their activity level while the more sedentary did not have to adapt their lifestyle.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic polypectomy is the gold standard in the treatment of colorectal polyps. The importance of polypectomy rests primarily on the fact that polyp-type lesions present a high risk of malignant degeneration, colorectal polyps being able, if left unattended therapeutically, to generate a colorectal cancer (CRC) - a lesion with a far more negative prognosis. Although preferable, endoscopic polypectomy of colorectal polyps is not always possible, multiple factors generating difficulties in performing this therapeutic measure. MATERIAL AND METHOD We performed a retrospective study in the First Surgical Clinic of the "Prof. Dr. Alexandu Trestioreanu" Bucharest Oncology Institute, spanning a period of 3 years (2008-2011), in which time 224 patients were diagnosed by colonoscopy with colorectal polyps, of whom 222 patients benefited from endoscopic polypectomy. The aim of the study was to identify "difficult" polyps and to identify the criteria for endoscopic surgery versus classic surgery as a therapeutic indication. RESULTS Presence of "difficult" polyps was observed in 37.56% of the patients diagnosed with colorectal polyps. In over 88% of cases endoscopic polypectomy was possible, and for the remaining patients classic surgery was the therapeutic solution opted for. CONCLUSIONS Presence of "difficult" polyps generates inconveniences in performing endoscopic polypectomy, increasing the risk of postoperative complication occurrence, as well as the duration of the operation. If the criteria for characterizing polyps as "difficult" are relatively well-established, the choice between endoscopic and classic surgery as a therapeutic measure is left at the free will of the operating surgeon, with the exception of situations in which classic surgery is resorted to for oncological reasons.

Abstract
Anterior resections of the rectum, used as an alternative to amputation of the rectum, are performed more and more frequently, being presently indicated for neoplasms located ata distance of 7 to 4 cm from the anus. Complications of low and ultra low anterior resections are not at all negligible, and local neoplastic recurrence rate is significantly higher than after amputation of the rectum. However, literature data recommends low and ultra low anterior rectal resections, even if sometimes the method indications are pushed to the limit or the interventions are performed at the patient's request, in order to avoid permanent colostomy. The authors of this article aim to outline a true picture of the changes caused by anterior resections of the rectum, low and ultra low, so that, without denying the merits of these resections, the entire postoperative pathology that occurs in these patients is depicted and understood. Ultra low rectal resections, up to 3-4 cm from the anus, bring important morphological and functional changes to the act of defecation and to anal continence. These changes in colo-anal bowel movement have a much higher incidence than postoperative genitourinary disorders. Another important aspect emerging from the present study is related to the increased incidence of anastomotic disunity, stenosis and various degrees of incontinence, complications that often can only be solved by completion of rectum amputation and permanent colostomy. In addition, the functional outcomes of these ultra low resections are not always at the level expected by the patient. Also, in terms of surgical performance, the higher share of specific complications of the procedure raises questions with regard to the technique. For all these reasons the authors consider it necessary to review the lower limit to which an anterior rectal resection can descend.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The paper deals with the diagnosis of some aggressive forms of uterine cervix cancers, resistant to radio chemotherapy, using biomolecular markers.For this study, the destruction of tumours in stages II-IIIBis carried out by hyperthermia induced by different sources of energy. The aimed targets are toembed a quick and simple technique of haemostas isused in bleeding uterine cervix tumours associated with acute an aemiain the treatment protocols and to identify biomolecular criteria revealing tumour aggressiveness and treatment response. METHOD The proposed method consists in radio frequency ablation (RFA) applied touterine cervix bleeding tumours with acute secondary anaemia. Studying 16 patients displaying aggressive cancer forms resistant to radio chemotherapy treated by the above mentioned method, we assessed that the commonly present markers: Ki67, p53 and Bcl-2, may be a substantial indication of such cases. Aggressiveness and treatment resistance was defined based on clinical and paraclinical investigations. RESULTS RFA haemostasis achieved in approximately 20 m inproved the efficiency of this method. A secondary important effect was local tumour volume decrease, resulting in the improvement of radio-chemotherapy responsiveness. CONCLUSIONS Once an aggressive and radio-chemotherapy resistant cancer is diagnosed,the quantitative, qualitative and associative presence of the biomolecular markers mentioned herein before, could influence the personalised treatment attitude (radiofrequency, neoadjuvant chemotherapy), which onthe long term, may increase patient survival and life quality improvement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rectal cancer represents an important health issue, which involves multidisciplinary treatment, posing a major surgical challenge, both in terms of diagnosis and treatment. MATERIAL AND METHOD Between 2009-2013, we analysed 83 patients with stenosing rectal cancer operated on at the Clinic of General Surgery II of Colentina Clinical Hospital and at the Clinic of General Surgery I of "Prof. Dr. Al. Trestioreanu" Oncology Institute, in Bucharest. Gender distribution was: 51 males and 32 females. Average age was 65 years old. The most frequently encountered symptoms were colicky abdominal pain and rectorrhagia. 25 patients presented intestinal occlusion phenomena at admission, the other 58 cases being in subocclusive stage. RESULTS In occlusive stages: 17 patients presented with resectable tumour, while 8 patients had locally advanced neoplastic forms (frozen pelvis), left iliac colostomy with tumour biopsy being the chosen approach. In subocclusive stages: 5 cases had unresectable tumours for which left iliac anus with tumour biopsy was performed; 53 cases presented with resectable tumour, for which the Hartmann procedure (12 patients) and left iliac colostomy with tumour biopsy (41 patients) were performed. Depending on the histopathological result, patients were submitted to radio- and chemotherapy.Tumour resection was possible in 70 cases (84.33%), only 34 of these (40.96%) being with radical intent. CONCLUSIONS Treatment for stenosing rectal cancer is multimodal,represented by surgical approach, radio- and chemotherapy. The rationality behind surgery as a first therapeutic gesture in the given study group was represented by the need to treat occlusive type complications, patients benefitting subsequently from radio- and chemotherapy. The opportunity of a second surgical intervention, with the objective to remove the tumour, was established based on the therapeutic response to radio- and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a debilitating disease with features of chronic inflammation. Endometriosis appears to be one of the most common benign gynecological proliferations in premenopausal women since it is estimated that 10-15% of reproductive aged women suffer from pelvic endometriosis. The biology of endometriosis is unclear. Despite its prevalence, this disease remains poorly understood and current studies prove that there is no relationship between the extent of the disease and its symptomatology. There is no blood test available for the diagnosis of endometriosis. Up to this point, there is no single very successful option for the treatment of endometriosis. Due to the relatively poor efficacy of hormonal therapy for endometriosis, several other experimental therapies are currently undergoing clinical trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We present our experience in the first 20 cases of complicated acute appendicitis in children, junior athletes, managed laparoscopically. MATERIALS AND METHOD We selected our first 20 patients, aged between 3 and 17 (median age 10), with complicated acute appendicitis treated laparoscopically. We analysed the intra and postoperative complications, operative time, length of hospitalization and their return period to previous training.Four cases were excluded from the study because they were converted to open appendectomy (OA). RESULTS One case developed a parietal abscess at the place of insertion of the suprapubic trocar and was treated locally.There were no cases with intraabdominal abscesses to require drainage. Fever on the 3rd postoperative day appeared in one patient which required reassessment of the antibiotic treatment. Length of hospitalization was between 4 and 8 days.The athletes resumed their sports activity after 10 - 12 days. CONCLUSION Complicated acute appendicitis (generalized peritonitis, localized abscess, perforated abscess), was once a contraindication for laparoscopic appendectomy (LA). Today LA is the first choice of surgical treatment for most of the surgeons. Due to the limited number of patients we have operated on laparoscopically up to this present paper we cannot draw a statistically significant conclusion, but the good results are encouraging us to continue using this approach as the first line treatment in children and more over for those who need a rapid return to intense physical activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Genital cancers benefit from standardized treatment plans which include: surgery and radio chemotherapy.Lately, treatments involving thermal ablations have entered the clinical use, as they destroy the tumors by the use of different energy sources. Our study aims at establishing a precise role of RFA in current treatment protocols of cancer of the uterine cervix. MATERIAL AND METHOD We performed a 5-year (2008-2013)prospective study in which we analyzed the use of RFA inpatients treated for cancer of the uterine cervix at our clinic.RFA was used, on selective criteria, in bleeding tumors of the uterine cervix in patients with acute secondary anaemia(Hb=7-11g dl). The results revealed the haemostatic role of the method, RFA being the only non surgical method through which one can achieve quick haemostasis (20 min.). 61 patients were clinically observed, with ages between 39 and 73, and the number of procedures performed was 61. CONCLUSION RFA is useful in the treatment of cancers of the uterine cervix, in all stages of the disease, and it achieves quick haemostasis. RFA can be considered an additional treatment option in neoadjuvant tumor palliation. The method can be associated with surgery and radio chemotherapy. Its assets are low specific morbidity (1,6%) and mortality (0%). We consider that RFA is on its way to an important place in oncology treatment protocols.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgery holds a central seat in the treatment of colon cancer, its objective being R0 resection. Chemotherapy and an appropriate oncological follow-up complete the treatment. AIM To establish an adequate therapeutic conduct in patients with advanced colon tumours, with no hepatic metastases. MATERIAL AND METHOD retrospective study on a group of 150 patients with colon neoplasm treated in the First Surgery Clinic of the Bucharest Oncology Institute in Bucharest,between 01 01 2008 -01 03 2013. RESULTS 18 patients presented locally extended colon tumours which required multivisceral resections. Patients with hepatic metastases were excluded from the study. The most frequently affected organs were: the small bowel and the internal genital organs, followed by the urinary bladder, spleen, duodenum and diaphragm muscle. Patients were oncologically followed-up according to current protocols and submitted to chemotherapy.When a maximum response was reached in R2 patients or when recurrence occurred in R0 and R1 patients, surgical intervention was required. When necessary, the operation was performed by multidisciplinary teams. 5 patients died due to local recurrence, disease progression, metastatic disease, and also due to comorbidities. CONCLUSION Treatment applied by oncological committees and multidisciplinary surgical teams, along with correct oncological follow-up and surgical reintervention when maximum response to chemotherapy was reached in R2 or when recurrences occurred in R0 and R1 patients represents the adequate therapeutic conduct in patients with locally advanced colon tumours.

Abstract
A newborn with abdominal wall defect is one of the most dramatic cases in neonatology, but also a challenge for pediatric surgeons. This article describes the fundamental concepts of two major abdominal wall defects - gastroschisis and omphalocele - including options and principles of prenatal and postnatal care. Although these birth defects of the abdominal wall are always grouped together, they are two separate and distinct entities, with many differences in terms of pathology and associated anomalies; this explains the different therapeutic approach and results. For a correct management of the newborn with this anomaly, it is essential to understand the similarities and differences between gastroschisis and omphalocele. This article emphasises the similarities between these two parietal defects, highlighting the differences as well.

Abstract
AIM Given the context that rectal tumours respond to a certain degree to radiotherapy, a necessity arises for estimating a tumour's capacity to react to radiation from the very moment of diagnostic biopsy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We have histologically and immunohistochemically analysed tissues coming from 52 patients with rectal adenocarcinomas. RESULTS Of the studied parameters, the ones presenting significant variation under radiotherapy in terms of statistics(p 0.05) were: colloid type (p=0.001), EGFR in the tumour(p=0.00045), EGFR in the normal epithelium (p=0.0017),VEGF in the tumour (p=0.0132) and VEGF in the tumour stroma (p=0.030). CONCLUSIONS Our study follows the same trends as the medical literature we have consulted regarding the variation of EGFR and VEGF with radiotherapy, and the distinct note of our study relies in the observation that normal stroma in case of rectal tumors also reacts to radiotherapy, sometimes more aggressively than the tumor itself, especially in which concerns the nerve and muscle fibers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although primary closure of the gastroschisis is possible in many cases, there have been various strategies published and materials used to cover the eviscerated bowel when the abdominal wall defect cannot be closed in one step, providing bowel protection and reduction of heat and fluid loss. There have been suggestions of coverage materials such as skin graft, lyophilized dura mater graft, free flap corium and meshed skin graft (1,2). PURPOSE We highlight an alternative repair method of gastroschisis in those cases where there is a disproportion between the amount of eviscerated organs and the hypoplastic abdominal cavity. If in this case primary closure of the abdominal wall is chosen, the difference in volume can cause a significant increase in intraabdominal pressure. METHOD In some cases, when complete primary closure was not possible, we used an alternative method to repair the parietal defect using umbilical cord patch. RESULTS This technique creates a mesothelial surface in contact with the bowel. Remote tracking of these patients showed excellent results. CONCLUSIONS This technique is easy to apply and very useful for infants with gastroschisis especially when primary closure is not possible. The use of autologous material, in this case as the umbilical cord, has several advantages, including wide availability, a lower rate of infection and significantly reduced costs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A solitary primary hydatid cyst in the abdominal wall is an exceptional entity, even in countries where the Echinococcus infection has a high rate, being considered an endemic disease. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 70-year-old Caucasian man who presented to our clinic with a slow-growing painless parietal mass in the abdominal wall, right flank area. The diagnosis of cystic mass was established at the ultrasound exam. There were no findings that could describe a hydatic cyst. The punction at the surgical intervention revealed a "clear, stone liquid like"; due to the high risk of major injury of the abdominal wall, we performed partial resection of the outer cystic wall, proligerous membrane removal and drainage. The patient had an uneventful post-operative recovery. The histopathology confirmed the suspected diagnosis. CONCLUSION Hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of every abdominal intraparietal cystic mass, especially in regions where the disease is endemic. The best treatment is the total excision of the cyst preserving an intact wall (complete cystectomy). Otherwise, removing the proligerous membrane with partial pericyst's resection (partial pericystectomy) and drainage should be considered.

Abstract
The congenital anomalies of the common bile duct (CBD) represent a real challenge for the surgeon, and not recognizing them may have two consequences: either generate incomplete or incorrect surgical solutions, or, even worse, lead to iatrogenic pathology. The association between the anomalies of the CBD and biliary lithiasis, biliary cancer or other hepatobiliopancreatic pathology may lead to a pre/perioperative diagnosis; frequently, the incertitude persists. We present 2 cases: one with an incomplete duplication of the CBD and the other with a false duplication. We wish to underline the sovereign value of cholangio-MRI with 3 D reconstructions in the diagnosis and description of the anatomy of the biliary ducts, superior, in some cases, to the intraoperative cholangiography or ERCP.

Abstract
The ability to tailor biologic therapy based on the status of tumor biomarkers and monoclonal antibodies has become very important in the last years. The role of tumor biomarkers in treating colorectal cancer, specifically the K-RAS gene, was identified. K-RAS had a higher interest after Lievre and colleagues reported at the 2008 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting, their analysis of K-RAS mutations in tumors from patients who did not appear to benefit from cetuximab therapy, providing additional data involving K-RAS mutant tumors and their lack of response to cetuximab, as part of first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. Furthermore, other trials evaluated the K-RAS status and the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, the treatment of refractory metastatic cancer and dual-antibody therapy in the first-line treatment of colorectal cancer. Patients with mutant K-RAS colorectal tumors have no benefit from cetuximab, no matter the type of chemotherapy regimen.

Abstract
In the era of mini invasive surgery, the surgical approach of the esogastric junction occupies an important role, which regards both the results and the complete, long-term patient satisfaction.The main benign pathology of the esogastric pole includes hiatal hernia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, cardiospasm, oesophageal diverticula. The present study is based on the experience of our clinic in the laparoscopic treatment of esogastric pathology that contains 85 patients in 10 years. Out of these, 15 were operated on for cardiospasm, 29 for hiatal hernia and 41 for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The investigation protocol consisted in barium swallows and endoscopy, both pre and postoperatively. The results obtained allowed us to underline the superiority of the surgical treatment over the medical one. Likewise, medical literature reports rates of success of 90% in antireflux surgery. The latter is conditioned by correct determination of the reflux causes and by the choice of the adequate time to perform the surgery, in concordance with the local anatomical conditions. As far as the two techniques used (complete or partial fundoplication) are concerned, there were no significant differences in the postoperative evolution of the patients, but we have to mention, nevertheless, the increased incidence of dysphagia after Nissen. The data presented confirm the superiority of laparoscopic surgery over the classic one, due to the superior aesthetic result, the shortened admission time -with reduced costs and rapid social reinsertion.

Abstract
The tubularised incised plate (TIP) is a common surgical technique used in the treatment of hypospadias. The study includes 52 urethroplasties, performed between 2007-2010. We performed Mathieu urethroplasty in 12% of the cases, Duplay urethroplasy in 88% of the cases and we used the Snoodgrass technique in 82% of the cases. The hospital stay varied between 3-8 days after surgery. We included in the study 32 patients with distal penile hypospadias, 8 with proximal hypospadias and 12 with midshaft hypospadias. To prevent fistula formation it is important to perform well sealed sutures, to interpose subcutaneous tissue between the urethroplasty and the cutaneous sutures, not to overlap the urethral and cutaneous sutures. The incidence of urethral fistula after the Duplay procedure was higher then after the Mathieu procedure, but the cases operated by the Duplay technique were manier and more difficult. The complications were more frequent in the cases with proximal hypospadias than in the cases with distal hypospadias, as well as the reintervention rate but not related to the surgical techniques. We present elements of diagnostic, embriology and etiopathogeny of hypospadias.

Abstract
Posterior Urethral Valves--PUV are the most common cause of bladder outflow obstruction in male infants, representig about 10% of prenatally detected hydronephrosis. The medical records of 27 patients, admitted and treated in the pediatric urology department of "Maria Sklodowska Curie" Emergency Hospital for Children, Bucharest, between 2001-2010 where reviewed. The aim of the study is to discuss the endoscopic valve ablation as the first choice treatment of PUV. Twenty-six, (96%) of ouer patients are alive, having now different ages, with serum creatinine levels < 0.8 mg/dl, at successive controls. One patient, lyear 11 mounths old, died in the pediatric nephrology department after right nephrec-tomy and left ureterostomy, 9 mounth before. Mortality rate in PUV patients has significantly decreased in the last 30 years, from 50% to less than 10% of patients. Nonetheless, morbidity related to PUV still represent an heavy burden for these patients and their doctors. Urodynamic studies help in understanding the pathophysiology of valve bladder and its effect on the urinary tract at long term follow-up.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a relatively common disease, in present there are different opinions regarding its approach by paediatric urologist, nephrologist and paediatrician. European Society for Paediatric Urology, European Association of Perinatal Medicine in collaboration with paediatric nephrologists developed--based on multicentric studies--a consensus approach for this disease. An efficient alternative is represented by endoscopic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2002 to December 2008 a number of 58 children, confirmed after mictional cistography with the diagnosis of VUR grade II - V, went endoscopic subureteral injection of dextranomer/ hyaluronic acid (Deflux). The reflux was unilateral in 21 cases and bilateral for the rest of 37. From 95 ureters, VUR was considered grade II - V in 15(15,79%), 45(47,37%), 28(29,47%) and 7(7,37%) cases. Follow-up and evaluation were based on mictional cistography and ultrasound examination. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Reflux remitted after the first, the second or the third injection in 63(66,31%), 13(13,68%) and 1(1,05%) of the ureters. These results confirm the fact that endoscopic subureteral injection of an adequate material confers semnificative advantages. High rate of success, absence of postoperative complications, reduced period of hospitalization sustain this kind of treatment that is indicated in all grades of reflux.

Abstract
The paper aims to define the actual place and benefits of the minimal invasive techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors in children. There are reviewed the indications, limits and complications of this method in digestive tract, liver, pancreatic, adnexal, testicular and renal tumors, in lymphomas, as well as in tumors with intra-thoracic location. The benefits of the minimal access approach, such as the decrease of the parietal complications as well as the negative impact of the surgical act upon the body have a particular significance in pediatric cancer patients. Their quicker recovery allows an early subsequent initiation of the chemo- or/and radiotherapy. Within the complex treatment of tumors in children, the minimal invasive surgery has a diagnostic value through inspection and directed biopsy. The laparoscopic inspection decreases the number of non-therapeutic laparotomies in non-operable patients with tumors that were not preoperatively diagnosed using imaging methods. The laparoscopic resection of the tumors within oncological limits is possible in the localized types (stage I). As a particular aspect of the laparoscopic approach in children, it is worth mentioning the difficulties related to the necessity of using adequate-size instruments and to the less favorable relation between the size of the tumor and the diminished working space.

Abstract
Unlike the standardised surgery of the right sided colic emergencies there is still a matter of debate on the emergency approach of the left colon and rectum. Between 1998 - 2007 on 32 patients (15 males, 17 females) we performed the single stage radical procedure total or subtotal colectomy. In the same period we performed 372 emergency operations for low intestinal occlusion. The patients had ages between 24 - 86 years, the admittance diagnosis was intestinal occlusion. The postoperative diagnosis was left colic carcinoma (n=23), strangulated hernia (n=2) strangulated incisional hernia (n=2), sigmoid volvulus (n=3) and synchronous colic carcinoma (n=2). All cases were submitted to surgery in the first 24 h of admission. Despite the presence of liver metastasis at the time of surgery in 2 patients, this had not contraindicate the radical procedure. 21 patients (65.62%) had a good evolution. The others 11 (34.38%) had postoperative complications: 2 anastomotic leakage (6.25%), 7 parietal infections (21.87%) and 2 death (6.25%). The total colectomy offers oncological radicality and satisfactory functional results. The disadvantage consists in postoperative diarrhea, gradually decreased with time.

Abstract
Tuberculosis, in its various forms, remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries in immunodeficitary patients. The indicatives of epidemiology of tuberculosis show that Romania presents a fresh outbreak of the disease in the last few years. The purpose of this paper is to present from the various forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, the intestinal tipe which have a high incidence. The authors describe theirs preliminary experience of intraoperative small and large bowel emergencies resections in a short period (1 year) of three young patients (between 30 and 40 years old) with history of pulmonary tuberculosis. The pathology was complex (bowel obstructions, peritonitis) and so were the surgical operations (resections, devirations). The patients showed short and long term good results.

Abstract
Nebivolol is a lipophilic beta 1-blocker. It is devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic or membrane stabilising activity but appears to have nitric oxide-mediated vasodilatory effects. Nebivolol 5 mg once daily is well tolerated in patients with hypertension. Adverse events are infrequent, transient and mild to moderate. Those reported most often include headache, fatigue, paraesthesias and dizziness. Several studies reported no signs of orthostatic hypotension with Nebivolol.

Abstract
The study was carried out on 31 diabetic patients of both sexes hospitalised in the Clinical Hospital of Diabetes and Nutritional Diseases "Dr. I. Cantacuzino". They were divided in 2 groups: patients with insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) and noninsulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) and compared with a group of control non-diabetic subjects. Total mixed saliva was sampled in the morning (07:30-08:00) and in the afternoon (17:30-18:00) without stimulation and tested for amylase activity, proteins and density. The study revealed that the density and the amylase activity have the same diurnal behaviour for the diabetic patients and healthy control subjects either. The only difference was the amplitude of maximal activity (in the morning for density and in the afternoon for the amylase activity). Salivary proteins have a similar diurnal behaviour for both diabetic groups (maximal values in the morning and minimal values in the afternoon) in contrast to healthy control subjects that presented less obvious diurnal changes.

We determined: salivary flow rate, pH with Merck indicator and, after homogenization, the thiocianat with the FeCl3 method and LDH activity (the Norbert method adapted in our laboratory for saliva). Our study showed the same diurnal changes in flow rate and salivary pH in both diabetic and control groups: minimal values in the morning and maximal ones in the afternoon. In non-smoking diabetic patients the salivary thiocianat had maximal values in the morning and minimal ones in the afternoon; similar behaviour, but less obvious was observed in smoking diabetic patients and in the control group regardless of the smoking habit. LDH activity showed unsignificant diurnal variations in the diabetic patients. In the control group we found a significant decrease of LDH activity in the afternoon. The discussion is about the implication of these salivary parameters in the pathology of oral cavity: gingivitis, periodontitis and caries in diabetic patients.

Abstract
The pandemic spread of tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) represents a serious world problem. The diagnosis of TB in developing countries remains difficult, particularly in patients with concomitant HIV infection. Anergia to tuberculin frequently occurs in HIV-positive patients with pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease, and radiographic images are atypical or nondiagnostic. Children are often in an even more unfavorable situation: they cannot expectorate, and the biological samples required for bacteriological examination and culture are more difficult to obtain. We present in this work the correlation between the presence of serum antimycobacterial antibodies [as demonstrated by an in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)] in 41 out of 279 HIV-infected children, and clinical, bacteriological, radiological, and pathological data that support the diagnosis of TB in these children. The prevalence of antimycobacterial antibodies in our group of HIV-positive children was 23.3%. In only 4 of the total cases investigated could the diagnosis of TB not be supported by the results of standard tests for TB. The control group showed an insignificant interference from bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination.

Abstract
Collagen diseases are precipitated by very different etiologic factors, but have a common pathogenic mechanism--autoimmune, which evolves chronically and progressively involving new territories. The initial and main pathologic lesions are vascular arterial ischemic (and, according to the prevalently involved territory, the type of disease results: PAN--medium-sized and small arterioles; scleroderma--small arterioles and capillaries), and the secondary ones are the result of ischemia with plurivisceral involvement. Neurological dysfunctions were detected in about 50% of collagen diseases diagnosed during a 25 year interval in the IIIrd Medical Clinic of Iaşi. The neurological manifestations were inaugural in 10% (in SLE) to 46.4% (in PAN) of the cases, the remainder occurring during the course of collagenosis, more commonly at 3-5 years and before death. Peripheral nervous system involvement (mainly polyneuritis) has prevailed, the central nervous system involvement being more rare and often fatal. Long-term corticosteroid therapy was followed by full or partial remission of peripheral nervous dysfunctions, but had transient effects or was ineffective on the central nervous ones.

Abstract
During a 10-year interval (1981-1991), at the IIIrd Medical Clinic of Iaşi 960 cases with pleural effusion, of which 768 (80%) non-recurrent and 192 (20%) recurrent, were diagnosed. The etiology in the latter cases was malignant (40%) and non-malignant (60%). Proper treatment methods for limiting or suppressing the recurrent pleurisies proved to be imperative. Thoracocenteses cause protein and electrolyte depletion which aggravate the general state and hasten the unfavourable evolution of the etiological affection. This is the reason why besides the general etiopathogenic treatment, a local pathogenic treatment (cytostatic, anti-inflammatory) and especially pleurodesis are compulsory. The intrapleural administration of cortisone is efficient in the case of recurrent autoimmune pleural effusions but is worthless in the malignant ones. In the latter situation, the intrapleural cytostatic treatment should be first attempted and, in case of failure, the development of pleural symphysis by external radiotherapy or injecting talc into the pleural space should be made. In the terminal stage of cardiac insufficiency or liver cirrhosis with recurrent pleural effusion, the pleurosymphysation is not indicated; a sever edematous-ascitic attack may occur or become aggravated by the pleural irritative process due to this method.

Abstract
In the last 8 years, 511 patients (267 men and 244 women) were investigated. It was found that 44 cases (8.6%) were false adenopathies (various types of tumoral masses) but placed in the nodes areas (localized, generalized or deep). There were 467 cases of true lymphadenopathies, 58 new cases yearly (2.32% of all admitted patients and 6.9% of those with blood diseases). Out of these 467 cases, 330 (70.6%) were malignant neoplastic diseases: malignant lymphomas--206 cases (62.4% of all malignancies), leukemias--99 cases (30%), carcinomatous metastases--25 cases (7.6%). Nonmalignant lymphadenopathies were found in 137 cases (29.4%): specific infections (tuberculosis) and nonspecific ones in 87 cases (63.5%), nonimmune diseases (SLE, PAN, sarcoidosis) in 50 cases. Generalized adenopathies were recorded in 47% of the cases, the involvement of a single node group in 21.8% of the cases, other types of distribution being rare. The general symptoms were absent in 20.5% of the cases, being present in the remainder of 79.5%, especially in the malignant lymphomas, leukemias, nonimmune diseases. The main complications occurring against the background of the etiological affections of lymphadenopathies were: infections (respiratory, urinary, tegumental) in 19.7% of the cases and cardiovascular disturbances (myocardiopathies, rythm and conduction disturbances) in 9.6% of the cases.

Abstract
Many epidemiological studies demonstrate the importance of psychological disorders among college and university students. Those disorders have an impact upon the academic performance and may lead to dropping out. The aim of this research is to study the possible relations between the incidence of psychological troubles and the evolution of the academic performance. The sample is constituted by 45 first year students of the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. Each subject has answered the psychological and psychiatric inventory built up by Bernot et al. (1969) (Psychorater). The academic performance evolution has been scored by comparing, for each student, the mark means obtained at the first three sessions. Cross-sessions comparisons have made possible to divide the sample into four subgroups: "in regression", "with relatively stable performances", "in progression" and "dropouts". The results show a statistically significative relation between, on the one hand, the university adaptation difficulties leading to dropping out and, on the other hand, the "impulsivity-instability" dimension and the "family, professional and social adaptation troubles". Excluding the dropout subjects, it is not possible, however, to correlate the variations in the academic performance and the incidence of psychological troubles found with the Psychorater.

Abstract
Hypokinesia (HK) produced by a 7-day contention of pregnant rats in small cages is followed by a discrete decrease of PAS reaction for glycoproteins in the submandibular and sublingual glands, in the mucosa of the stomach, duodenum, small intestine and colon, and also by a small but evident increase of that for leucineaminopeptidase and acid phosphatase in the duodenum and in the intestine. The moderation of these reactions may be explained by the small interval of contention, and not by pregnancy, because the changes are similar in male rats after the same interval. After a longer interval, these reactions change in the same manner but they are more evident, as results from our previous studies. They are not connected with a corticosterone hypersecretion (the principal glucocorticoid in rat) because adrenalectomy does not influence them as results from our previous research. HK increases the 4 and 5 isoenzymes of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in the stomach. In the small intestine appeared only the LDH 4 and 5 isoenzymes, HK increases LDH5 isoenzyme. Adrenalectomy increases all LDH isoenzymes of gastric mucosa, and in the small intestine all five fractions appeared, but with a slight activity of LDH 1 and 2. This relation between adrenal hormones and these isoenzymes must be further studied, especially after HK. After a 7-day HK, nonpregnant female rats present an augmented total gastric acid output (TAO), as previously found by us in males. After adrenalectomy this acid hypersecretion disappeared. Even smaller values for TAO were found. Pregnancy considerably increased TAO which may be due, as we have already found, to a blood pH decrease. After HK this hypersecretion decreased remaining nevertheless great. Progeni born of rats submitted to HK have, after 30 days of life, an augmented TAO. Parts of this research were carried out in order to reproduce by HK, at ground level, the 5-day orbital flight conditions of the soviet Cosmos 1514 biosatellite containing pregnant rats in which we studied some identical parameters.

Abstract
The influence of magnetic fields of moderate intensities (50 and 120 Oe) was studied in rats after single or repeated exposures with or without a rise in environmental temperature. The following parameters were investigated: the number of erythrocytes and leucocytes, the percentage of different varieties of leucocytes, serum Na+ and K+, plasma corticosterone, ascorbic acid in adrenals, blood catecholamines, plasma fibrinolytic activity, plasma antidiuretic hormone. The resistance to hyperthermia was tested after single exposures to magnetic fields and the survival time was measured. The only significant change recorded in the number of blood cells was a leucopenia after single exposures to 50 Oe for 4 hrs. The parameters indicating the activity of the adrenal cortex were not altered significantly. A moderate rise in blood noradrenaline suggested a possible mild stimulation of the adrenergic system. The plasma fibrinolytic activity was significantly stimulated after single exposures, but no change in fibrinolysis could be recorded after repeated exposures to magnetic fields. Changes observed in plasma ADH were not conclusive. The resistance of animals to hyperthermia - as a general test of reactivity - showed minimal changes in the survival time, loss of weight, and rectal temperature in animals exposed to hyperthermia (40 degrees C) under the influence of the magnetic fields.
