Mycobacterium ulcerans infections in two horses in south-eastern Australia
Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 | Australian Veterinary Journal
Two horses were diagnosed as having Mycobacterium ulcerans infections. The first was a 21-year-old Quarterhorse-cross mare living in Mallacoota (a coastal town near the border of New South Wales and Victoria, Australia) that presented with lichenification, hair-loss and oedema on a fetlock, which subsequently ulcerated, as well as a non-healing ulcer on the wither. The second horse was a 32 year-old Standardbred gelding from Nicholson, near Bairnsdale, Victoria, that had an ulcerated lesion on its caudal thigh. Histologically, there were characteristic changes seen with M. ulcerans infections in other species, including extensive necrosis without associated granulomatous inflammation. The organisms were seen in Ziehl-Neelsen-stained smears or sections of the lesions from both horses and we...

Proteolytic events in cryonecrotic cell death: proteolytic activation of endonuclease p23.
Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 | Cryobiology
Authors: Nevena G, Melita V, Mirjana M, Svetlana D, Aleksandra U, Jelena A, Goran P Although cryosurgery is attaining increasing clinical acceptance, our understanding of the mechanisms of cryogenic cell destruction remains incomplete. While it is generally accepted that cryoinjured cells die by necrosis, the involvement of apoptosis was recently shown. Our studies of liver cell death by cryogenic temperature revealed the activation of endonuclease p23 and its de novo association with the nuclear matrix. This finding is strongly suggestive of a programmed-type of cell death process. The presumed order underlying cryonecrotic cell death is addressed here by examining the mechanism of p23 activation. To that end, nuclear proteins that were prepared from fresh liver, which is devoid of p2...

Conclusion: It might be possible to evaluate the appearance of immune responses to cryosurgery by monitoring serum cytokine levels. (Source: Journal of Surgical Research)

Argon-helium cryosurgery for treatment of C6 gliomas in rats and its effect on cellular immunity.
Wed, 20 Jan 2010 23:04:08 +0100 | Technology in Cancer Research and Treatment
Authors: Li M, Zhang S, Zhou Y, Guo Y, Jiang X, Miao L Argon-helium cryosurgery has shown encouraging therapeutic effects on some solid tumors, but its application in the treatment of gliomas remains poorly documented. To explore the cell apoptosis at the glioma foci and the cellullar immunity changes following argon-helium cryosurgery, we established Wistar rat models bearing subcutaneous C6 glioma and divided the rats into the normal control (20 rats), sham-operated (32 rats), surgical resection (20 rats), and cryosurgery (32 rats) groups with corresponding treatments. The postoperative changes in the findings by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tumor cell morphology were observed, and the cell apoptosis at the tumor foci was assessed with TUNEL assay. Flow cytometry was performe...

TACE with Ar-He Cryosurgery Combined Minimal Invasive Technique for the Treatment of Primary NSCLC in 139 Cases
Wed, 20 Jan 2010 05:00:00 +0100 | Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer
Conclusion Minimally invasive technique is a highly successful, micro-invasive and effective method with mild complications. To non-small cell lung cancer, we can improve the middle and long term clinical effect by using the different combination of multiple minimally invasive treatments according to the patient's condition.

No Recurrences in Selected Patients after Curettage with Cryotherapy for Grade I Chondrosarcomas.
Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100 | Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
CONCLUSIONS: The data confirm the appropriateness of conservative surgery for central low-grade chondrosarcomas of the proximal humerus and distal femur based on a combination of intralesional curettage and cryogenic parietal sterilization. Candidates for this approach should be chosen on the basis of the affected bone site, local extension staging, and clinicopathologic grading. We recommend supplementary internal fixation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

The effects of cryosurgery upon the pulmonary parenchyma with single or double freeze-thaw cycles in rabbits
Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:50:13 +0100 | The Chinese-German Journal of Clinical Oncology
Conclusion  It is safety to cryosurgery upon pulmonary parenchyma with one or two cycles and the histological changes are similar. The diameter of cryosurgery region with two cycles was bigger than one.
