Abstract
A case of primary leptomeningeal fibrosarcoma metastatic to the thyroid gland, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy is described. The patient, a 39-year-old women was initially diagnosed with a leptomeningeal fibrosarcoma. Sections of the primary tumor studied by electron microscopy showed that the tumor cells have the ultrastructure features of a fibroblast. She underwent tumor resection, followed by chemotherapy and local radiotherapy. Four months later, she presented with dysphagia. Ultrasonography confirmed the presence of a 2-cm mass in the right lobe of thyroid. A fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed. Light microscopy showed interwoven bundles of neoplastic spindle cells similar to the primary tumor, consistent with a metastatic fibrosarcoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a primary meningeal fibrosarcoma that metastasized to the thyroid gland, which was diagnosed by a fine needle aspiration biopsy.

Abstract
Airway acid aspiration leads to severe microvascular lung injury and pulmonary edema. Recent studies have demonstrated that other conditions associated with microvascular injury such as sepsis and burns can be effectively treated with low-volume hypertonic saline (HTS). Thus, the present study aimed to test whether HTS attenuates aspiration-induced lung injury in the rat. Intratracheal administration of 0.2 ml of 0.1 N HCl (n = 7) induced pulmonary leukosequestration [myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity +446 +/- 34%, P < 0.05; bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid neutrophil count + 178 +/- 23%, P < 0.05], edema (division 43 +/- 6%, P < 0.01), and microvascular permeability defect (BAL protein concentration +675 +/- 34%, P < 0.01). These changes were associated with tissue hypoxia (skeletal muscle PO2, 49 +/- 8 mm Hg, P < 0.05) and elevated serum TNF alpha (750 +/- 38 pg/ml, P < 0.01). HTS (2400 mosmole/liter) at 5 ml/kg, administered 20 min after aspiration (n = 7), reduced lung pulmonary edema by 58 +/- 7% (P < 0.05) and improved tissue oxygen tension (PO2, 85 +/- 7 mm Hg, P < 0.05) but failed to alter lung MPO and BAL fluid protein and leukocyte count response. Also, HTS did not reduce TNF alpha response to aspiration. These data point to a potential therapeutic role for low-volume HTS in treating aspiration-induced lung injury. In addition, our data suggest that HTS is acting by rapidly shifting fluid from the pulmonary interstitium to the intravascular compartment because it did not inhibit the inflammatory response to aspiration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the role of complement in the development of acid aspiration-induced lung injury in the rat. It was postulated that inhibition or depletion of complement attenuates aspiration-induced lung injury. DESIGN Controlled animal trial. SETTING Animal Laboratory, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, PA. SUBJECTS Anesthetized rats. INTERVENTIONS Aspiration was induced by the intratracheal administration of 0.2 mL of 0.1 N hydrochloric acid (n = 7) and lung injury was evaluated by determining water content, myeloperoxidase activity, protein concentration, and leukocyte count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Muscle PO2 was directly measured using a thin-film chamber oxygen sensor and serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The effect of complement inhibition by recombinant human soluble complement receptor type 1 (n = 8) or complement depletion by cobra venom factor (n = 7) on lung injury was evaluated. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Acid aspiration induced pulmonary leukosequestration, edema, and a microvascular permeability defect, along with tissue hypoxia. Pretreatment with soluble complement receptor type 1 (complement inhibition) or cobra venom factor (complement depletion) significantly reduced lung edema (-61 +/- 7%; p < .05), eliminated protein accumulation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (p < .01), and improved (p < .05) tissue oxygenation. In contrast, there was no effect of soluble complement receptor type 1 or of cobra venom factor on leukosequestration. CONCLUSIONS Acid aspiration induces lung injury through a complement-dependent mechanism that leads to microvascular permeability defects. Therefore, the possibility that complement inhibitors may have a salutary effect in humans with aspiration-induced lung injury should be investigated.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to describe our experience with thoracoscopic drainage and decortication as definitive treatment for empyema thoracis following penetrating chest trauma. METHODS Over a 9-month period, eight patients at two institutions were treated for empyema thoracis that developed following penetrating chest injury. Seven patients sustained gunshot wounds and one a stab wound. All were treated for hemothorax with a closed tube thoracostomy. Associated injuries included six spinal cord injuries, a liver and diaphragmatic injury, a subclavian injury, and a carotid injury. Each patient subsequently developed an empyema. All patients underwent one thoracoscopic drainage and decortication of the empyema. RESULTS In all patients, complete resolution of the empyema was achieved with the thoracoscopic technique. Chest tubes were removed a median of 8.5 days after the procedure. Median blood loss was 200 mL. The average duration of the operation was 110 minutes. There were two complications, a persistent air leak and a trapped lung, both treated with thoracoscopic intervention. CONCLUSION Thoracoscopic drainage and decortication offers an alternative to thoracotomy for definitive therapy of empyema thoracis developing after penetrating chest trauma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the hemodynamic, biochemical, and hematologic responses to the administration of the oxygen-carrying fluid lyophilized liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin in the conscious, normovolemic rat. DESIGN Prospective, randomized trial. SETTING Animal laboratory, Jefferson Medical College. SUBJECTS Eighty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS Catheters were introduced into the right atrium (through the jugular vein) and both femoral arteries of test animals, and a thermistor was placed in the ascending aorta through the left common carotid artery for infusion of lyophilized liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin, blood collection, and blood pressure (BP) and cardiac output determinations. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Lyophilized liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin (n = 8) infusion (1 mL/min iv) at 1 or 6 mL/kg (10% of estimated blood volume) had no detectable effect on BP, cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, and heart rate during the 5-hr observation period. The infusion also had no effect on hematocrit, leukocyte count, and serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha concentrations. Survival at 7 days was 100% (n = 20). Lyophilized liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin caused transient (2-hr) thrombocytopenia (-24 +/- 9% vs. a Ringer's lactate control group, p < .01), and marginally increased serum thromboxane B2 concentrations (14.6 +/- 6 pg/100 microL, p < .01). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that lyophilized liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin can be safely administered to conscious rats, supporting the development of this substance as a potential blood substitute.

Abstract
Pulmonary edema and sepsis-like syndrome are grave complications of interleukin-2 (IL-2) therapy. Recent animal studies have suggested IL-2-induced microvascular injury as the underlying mechanism. Since complement factors have been shown to mediate increased vascular permeability in diverse conditions that lead to pulmonary injury and recombinant human IL-2 is known to activate the complement system in patients undergoing IL-2 therapy, we hypothesized that complement factors play a pivotal role in the development of increased vascular permeability after IL-2 treatment. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the capacity of recombinant soluble human complement receptor type 1 (sCR1, BRL 55730), a new highly specific complement inhibitor, to attenuate IL-2-induced lung injury in the rat. Recombinant human IL-2 (intravenously for 60 minutes) at 10(6) U per rat (n = 4) elevated lung water content (37 +/- 6%, P < .05), myeloperoxidase activity (162 +/- 49%, P < .05), and serum thromboxane B2 (30 +/- 1 pg/100 microL, P < .01) and had no effect on serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha sCR-1 at 30 mg/kg (n = 5), but not at 10 mg/kg (n = 6), attenuated the elevation of lung water content (18 +/- 2%, P < .05) and myeloperoxidase activity (42 +/- 9%, P < .05) but failed to alter serum thromboxane B2 response to IL-2. These data suggest the involvement of complement in the pathogenesis of IL-2-induced pulmonary microvascular injury and point to the potential therapeutic capacity of complement inhibitors in combating this toxic effect of IL-2 therapy.

Abstract
We have reported recently that lipopolysaccharide endotoxin and platelet activating factor cooperate in priming relationships to elicit lung microvascular injury. Lung injury was associated with elevated serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) and histological findings highly reminiscent of the adult respiratory distress syndrome. The present study was designed to examine the role of TNF alpha in lipopolysaccharide/platelet activating factor-induced lung injury by utilizing a highly specific monoclonal antibody which block TNF alpha actions (anti-TNF alpha monoclonal antibody). Pretreatment with anti-TNF alpha monoclonal antibody (2.5-25 mg/kg i.v., n = 5-9) dose-dependently prevented the lipopolysaccharide/platelet activating factor-induced histopathological changes, lung edema (P < .01), lung myeloperoxidase activity (P < .01), elevation of neutrophil count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (P < .01) and increased serum thromboxane B2 (P < .01). Indomethacin (6 mg/kg i.v., n = 5) failed to modify the lung injury despite complete inhibition of thromboxane B2 formation (P < .05). These data suggest that TNF alpha might play a key role in initiation of the early inflammatory changes which lead to adult respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been implicated in several late consequences of trauma such as sepsis, multiple organ failure, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, no data are available to indicate whether TNF-alpha is involved in the initial pathophysiologic response to trauma. To address this issue, serum TNF-alpha was determined (by ELISA) longitudinally (first blood sample on admission) in 100 randomly selected trauma patients admitted to the emergency department and trauma division at Jefferson Medical Center, Philadelphia. The TNF-alpha levels were detectable at one or more time points in 35 patients. Mean values tended to be elevated (50.3 +/- 11.5 pg/mL) during the first 5 days, but this trend did not differ statistically from that in healthy controls (n = 12) and did not correlate with the severity of injury (Injury Severity Score and Glasgow Coma Scale score). The TNF-alpha response was not dependent on the mechanism and site of injury, the presence of shock (systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg), and the need for emergent surgery. Also, serum TNF-alpha levels were not significantly elevated in patients who subsequently developed multiple organ failure (n = 4), septic shock (n = 5), or both (n = 3). Taken together, these data do not support a role for circulating TNF-alpha in the initial acute inflammatory response to trauma.

Abstract
Low-volume resuscitation with hypertonic (7.5%) saline (HTS) is an evolving therapeutic modality for patients with hemorrhagic shock. This solution has been shown to exert protective hemodynamic effects in models of controlled hemorrhagic shock and in several clinical trials. However, HTS has no oxygen-carrying capacity and therefore does not improve oxygen delivery directly. One of the leading strategies in developing an oxygen-carrying resuscitative fluid is the encapsulation of hemoglobin within phospholipid vesicles (LEH). This preparation has the advantage of being blood type and antigen free, easily adaptable to scale-up production, and remarkably stable with a long shelf life. We therefore tested the hypothesis that lyophilized LEH reconstituted with HTS will improve tissue oxygenation and survival in rats exposed to a lethal controlled hemorrhagic shock. Shock was induced by withdrawal of 70% of blood volume and therapy (n = 10-16) with HTS (5 mL/kg), LEH (5 mL/kg), lactated Ringer's solution (vol:vol = 1:3), LEH-HTS (5 mL/kg), or oxygen (100%) was initiated 15 minutes later. The LEH-HTS improved skeletal muscle oxygen tension directly measured using a thin-film chamber oxygen sensor (PO2 87 +/- 13 mm Hg vs. 40-50 mm Hg in other groups, p < 0.05). This was associated with improved blood pressure, reduced acidosis, and increased survival at 24 hours (75% vs. 6%-25% in other groups, p < 0.05). In conclusion, the study demonstrates a remarkably salutary effect of LEH reconstituted with HTS as a blood substitute in the treatment of hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
We recently reported that the combined administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in rats, at doses that are completely devoid of any effect when given alone, caused lung injury characterized by neutrophil adhesion to lung capillaries and postcapillary venules, neutrophil accumulation in the lung parenchyma, platelet-fibrin deposits in postcapillary venules, and pulmonary edema. A marked increase in lung myeloperoxidase activity and an elevation of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha and thromboxane B2, along with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, were also noticed. The present study aimed to examine whether repeated LPS-PAF stimulus can cause progressive lung injury reminiscent of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A second LPS-PAF challenge, 4 h (n = 11) after the original challenge, induced mortality (69% at 24 h, P < 0.01) and some of the pathological changes seen in clinical ARDS, including severe pulmonary edema, alveolar proteinaceous exudates, monocytic infiltration, and a further increase in lung myeloperoxidase activity (700%, P < 0.01). Repeated LPS-PAF dosing also resulted in sustained increased serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels (1,610 +/- 470 pg/ml, P < 0.01) and further exacerbation of the leukopenia (-68 +/- 6%, P < 0.01) and thrombocytopenia (-65 +/- 8%, P < 0.01). These data suggest that repeated LPS-PAF actions are sufficient to elicit pathophysiology of ARDS-like lung injury.

Abstract
C receptor-1 is a protein involved in the regulation of C3 and C5-convertases. Recombinant human soluble C receptor-1 has recently been produced and shown to reduce infarct size in a rat model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. The present study aimed to investigate whether recombinant human soluble C receptor-1 exerts any protective effect on pulmonary injury produced in a rodent model of adult respiratory distress syndrome. In this model, Escherichia coli endotoxin (LPS, 0.1 microgram/kg) combined with platelet-activating factor (1 pmol/kg/min over 60 min, n = 10) caused microvascular lung injury characterized by elevation of myeloperoxidase activity, deposition of C3 and C5b-9 on the endothelium of pulmonary vessels, and pulmonary edema. Furthermore, bronchoalveolar lavage revealed increased neutrophil count and elevated protein concentration. These pulmonary responses were associated with elevated serum TNF-alpha. Pretreatment (10 min, i.v.) with recombinant human soluble C receptor-1 at 10 mg/kg (n = 13), but not at 1 mg/kg, prevented the LPS/platelet-activating factor-induced pulmonary edema (p less than 0.01) and changes in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cell count (p less than 0.01) and protein concentration (p less than 0.05), and attenuated the deposition of C3 and C5b-9 to lung vessels. There was no effect on lung myeloperoxidase activity and serum TNF-alpha. Also, C depletion by cobra venom factor (500 U/kg, i.v.) eliminated the pulmonary edema and elevated leukocyte count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, but had no effect on lung myeloperoxidase activity and serum TNF-alpha. These data suggest that C factors may play an important role in the pathophysiology of adult respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract
Interleukin-2 was recently shown to cause acute lung injury characterized by microvascular permeability defect, interstitial edema, and leukosequestration. Similar responses can also be produced by platelet activating factor (PAF). Thus, the present study aimed to examine whether PAF plays a key role in the development of IL-2-induced lung injury in the anesthetized rat. Intravenous infusion (60 min) of recombinant human IL-2 at 10(5)-10(6) U/rat (n = 7-9) dose-dependently elevated lung water content (27 +/- 1%, P less than 0.01), myeloperoxidase activity (+84 +/- 23%, P less than 0.05), and serum thromboxane B2 (990 +/- 70%, P less than 0.01), but failed to alter blood pressure, hematocrit, serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and circulating leukocytes and platelets. Pretreatment (-30 min) with a potent and specific PAF antagonist, BN 50739 (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, n = 6) prevented the pulmonary edema (P less than 0.05) and thromboxane B2 production (P less than 0.01), and attenuated the elevation of lung myeloperoxidase activity (+18 +/- 16%, P less than 0.05) induced by IL-2. These data suggest that PAF is involved in the pathophysiological processes leading to IL-2-induced lung injury, and point to the potential therapeutic capacity of PAF antagonists in preventing pulmonary edema during IL-2 therapy.

Abstract
When children with leukemia were en couraged to ask questions about their ill ness, they asked many. These questions were straightforward, demonstrating their interest in learning about their illness, and emphasiz ing their need to place events in perspective. Much of the staff's initial fear and appre hension regarding their ability to deal with problems centering around life and death were gradually resolved as they began to ap proach these problems with the information gathered from the children rather than with the preconceived prejudices obtained from other adults.
