Immunolocalization of natriuretic peptide receptor B in the rat kidney

The natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR) family consists of three receptor subtypes: two transmembrane forms that contain a guanylyl cyclase intracellular domain (NPR-A and NPR-B), and one truncated form (NPR-C). Because of the lack of specific agonists and antagonists for each receptor subtype and to the difficulty to detect the presence of small quantities of NPR-B by ligand binding studies, polyclonal antibodies against a peptide whose sequence was chosen from a region of the extracellular domain of rat NPR-B that is not homologous to sequences in NPR-A and NPR-C were developed. Western blotting with affinity-purified anti-NPR-B (413-426)-Tyr revealed a polypeptide of approximately 120 kD on COS-1 cell membranes transfected with rat NPR-B cDNA. The antibody recognized a second polypeptide, approximately 5 to 10 kD smaller, which probably represents the unglycosylated receptor. Anti-NPR-B (413-426)-Tyr did not show crossreactivity to any other NPR. Western blotting analysis with anti-NPR-B (413-426)-Tyr also identified a protein of appropriate size in renal vascular membranes. These results were supported by immunohistochemistry findings that demonstrated staining for NPR-B on papillary and medullary capillaries, glomeruli, and renal arteries. This study concludes that NPR-B is present in the rat kidney, although it was only detected in vascular structures.     

Meniscal regeneration in the long-term after total meniscectomy?

A cohort of 39 patients (28 male, 11 female) that had undergone total meniscectomy as adolescents (mean age 16 years) underwent FISP 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging at a mean follow up of 30 years. The presence of meniscal tissue was assessed by two independent observers blinded to the operation details. The volume of any meniscal tissue present was calculated. A posterior horn remnant was seen in 57% of medial and 45% of lateral meniscectomy cases. The mean volume of an operated medial meniscal remnant was 0.29 mL compared with a mean volume of 1.15 mL for an intact medial meniscus. The mean volume of an operated lateral meniscal remnant was 0.30 mL compared with 1.07 mL for an intact lateral meniscus. We have shown that the incidence of incomplete excision of the posterior horn is more common after total medial meniscectomy, and that at a mean follow up of 30 years there is no convincing in vivo MRI evidence of long-term meniscal regeneration.     

Transluminal balloon angioplasty, stents, and atherectomy

Arterial bypass grafting for occlusive disease is still considered the gold standard in the treatment of arterial occlusive disease. However, less invasive methods are available for select patients. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty has been shown to be effective in focal iliac artery stenosis, with patency rates of 50% to 90% at 5 years. Patency rates for femoropopliteal lesions are generally less than 50% at 2 years. Complications seen with balloon angioplasty often can be treated with arterial stents. Stents can be categorized into balloon-expandable, which provide a rigid scaffold to support the artery, self-expanding, which exert radial force to resist external compression, and thermal expanding stents, which allow for the use of a smaller introducer sheath. Another treatment option is atherectomy, in which the offending lesion is removed instead of fracturing and dilating the lumen. Although overall initial results of atherectomy have not been favorable, short lesions with eccentric atheroma or intimal hyperplasia, such as those seen in dialysis access fistulas or vein graft stenoses, may respond well.

Lithium-induced follicular hyperkeratosis

Scanning with Tc-99m labeled RBC was performed in two patients with recurrent postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding after partial colonic resection. Imaging correctly identified the source of bleeding at the anastomotic site in the large bowel, effectively contributing in the patient's treatment planning. Radionuclide scintigraphy provides a simple, noninvasive modality to diagnose and manage difficult clinical situations such as postoperative bleeding.
