3.Affinity of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase to glycosaminoglycans.
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;233(2):35-40
Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FPA) was recently known as new member of heparin binding proteins and a new method for FPA purification has been proposed (Thanh Van Ta et all, J. Biochem. 125, 554-559,199) by measuring FPA - heparin binding inhibition caused by various glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), affinity of the two isoforms, aldolase A4 and C4, to the GAGs underphysiological ionic conditions was estimated. Among glycosaminoglycans employd, heparin was confirmed to be the unique one that could bind specifically these enzymes. In the lower ionic strength, the affinity order of both FPA isoforms (A4 and C4) to these GAGs appeared as heparin> chondroitin polysulfate> heparin sulfate > dermatan > chondrointin sulfate A > chondroin sulfate C. Employing the same techniques, the affinity of regioselectively desulfated heparins to FPA was estimated. Our results indicated that, among the sulfate groups is heparin, loss of N-sulfate group reduced most significantly the affinity to FPA A4 and C4. This sugests that FPA recognizes a specific heparin structure including the sulfo-amino group at C2 of the glucosamine residue as the vital factor in this interaction.

Palmar digital vein thrombosis causing one or more nodules seems to be a relatively rare condition. Only 20 cases of palmar digital vein thrombosis have been reported worldwide in the English language literature. It presents with a painful, firm and blue nodule located at or in close proximity to one of the flexion creases. The etiology remains unknown, but changes in the vessel wall related to the anatomic characteristics of the palmar digital veins may play a role, along with intraluminal stasis. Two patients with blue nodule located in close proximity to flexion creases on the volar side of the finger presented to our hospital. Histological examination showed organizing thrombus within the dilated vessel. We report here on these two cases of palmar digital vein thrombosis.

Pericardial cysts are reported by some authors, but epicardial cysts are extremely rare. We report one case of epicardial cyst that was detected incidentally and was removed successfully. Furthermore, unusually, pathological examinations confirmed that the cyst wall was looked like a vessel wall.

A persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is very rare congenital vascular anomaly which is present in 0.025% to 0.04% of the population by an angiographic study. A PSA is usually combined with aneurismal disease or thromboembolic events because of its arteriosclerosis and vessel wall degeneration. The treatments of symptomatic PSA are comprised of exclusion of PSA from circulation and bypass surgery for the lower limb. However, surgical treatment should be tailored to its anatomy and presentation. We report a successful treatment of PSA with distal thromboembolism by thromboembolectomy without bypass surgery.

An aneurysm is a focal, localized dilatation of a blood vessel. This term is most commonly applied to dilatation of arteries. However, dilatation can occur in any part of the vascular system. Primary true aneurysm of the superficial venous system that contains all the vascular layers is known to be very rare. We report here on surgically treating a case of primary true aneurysm on the dorsalis pedis vein and we briefly review the related literature.

8.Coincidental Occurrence of Acute In-stent Thrombosis and Iatrogenic Vessel Perforation During a Wingspan Stent Placement: Management with a Stent In-stent Technique.

We presented a case that an acute in-stent thrombosis after the deployment of a Wingspan stent was successfully managed with a stent in-stent technique. Because vessel perforation and subarachnoid hemorrhage were iatrogenically developed during the procedure, we were unable to use the thrombolytic agents to correct the in-stent thrombosis. When a thrombotic complication following an intracranial stent placement occurs with a coincidentally hemorrhagic complication, the stent in-stent technique should be considered as a treatment option.

We evaluated thirty normal human eyes(aged from 22 to 95) to investigate the changes with age of the cellularity and acid mucopolysaccharides in the trabecular meshwork. The cellularities were evaluated from the number of the cells per unit area of trabecular meshwork and the number of cells per unit length of trabecular meshwork. In addition, acid mucopolysaccharides(AMS) were investigated by counter staining the trabecular meshwork specimens, with Van Gieson following colloidal iron. The results were as follows: 1. With age, cellularities of the whole trabecular meshwork and the counterpart of filtration region decreased significantly(p

Guidewire-associated complications that occur during the process of central venous catheterization include its kinking, looping, knotting and breakage. The removal of a looped or knotted guidewire is problematic because it can cause vessel damage, major hemorrhage, or embolization of a fractured guidewire. We report a case of guidewire kinking and its successful removal under fluoroscopic guidance.
