- Abstract
Financial distress can have a detrimental influence on the performance of hospitals. Hospital management needs to monitor potential financial distress effectively and know how it will respond depending on the severity of the circumstances. This study examined the multiple factors that may explain the financial distress of nonprofit hospitals during 1998 to 2001 and discussed their importance. To obtain more robust results, financial distress was assessed in 2 ways: first, financial strength index was used to incorporate 4 financial dimensions including profitability, liquidity, leverage, and physical facilities; second, cash flow (CF) was used to address the issues of accrual-based accounting in hospitals. This study finds that decrease in occupancy rate and increase in Medicaid payer mix, health maintenance organization penetration, market competition, physician supply, and percentage of the elderly are associated with increased likelihood of financial distress of urban hospitals. Increases in both Medicare and Medicaid payer mix, however, are related to higher likelihood of financial distress of rural hospitals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The objective of our study was to introduce a safe and effective method for the treatment of cervical pregnancy. This was a case series and took place at the minimal invasive surgery clinic at Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital, Bucheon, Korea. From April 2005 through October 2007, a total of 10 patients with cervical pregnancy underwent hysteroscopic surgery. An 18 F foley catheter was inserted through the cervical canal after dilation, and the uterine cavity was irrigated with 3.5% H2O2 300 mL for prevention of unrelenting bleeding. Hysteroscopic removal of cervical gestation under ultrasonographic guidance was performed uneventfully. All patients had an unremarkable postoperative course. Serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels were monitored after surgery and exhibited optimal decrease. All cases had histologic confirmation of products of conception removed from the cervix. The estimated blood loss was less than 50 mL. All patients were discharged after the first or second postoperative day. Hysteroscopic removal of cervical pregnancy with H2O2 is very useful and safe and preserves fertility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

McCue MJ and Kim TH
- Abstract
Background: Recent trends show a greater usage of variable rate debt among health care bond issues. In 2004, 63.4% of the total health care bonds issued were variable rate compared with 30.6% in 1995 (Fitch Ratings, 2005).Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the underlying factors, credit spread, issue characteristics, and issuer factors behind why hospitals and health system borrowers select variable rate debt compared with fixed rate debt.Methodology: From 2000 to 2004, this study sampled 230 newly issued tax-exempt bonds issued by acute care hospitals and health care systems that included both variable and fixed rate debt issues. Using a logistic regression model, hospitals with variable rate debt issues were assigned a value of 1, whereas hospitals with fixed rate debt issues were assigned a value of 0.Findings: This study found a positive association between bond insurance and variable rate debt and a negative association between callable feature and variable rate debt. Facilities located in certificate-of-need states that possessed higher case mix acuity, earned higher profit margins, generated higher debt service coverage, and held less debt were more likely to issue variable rate debt.Practice Implications: Overall, hospital managers and board members of hospitals possessing a strong financial performance have an interest in utilizing variable rate debt to lower their cost of capital. In addition, this outcome may also reflect that investment bankers are doing a better job in educating senior hospital management about the interest rate savings benefit of variable rate compared with fixed rate debt.

Joo, Kj, Kwon, Yw, Myung, Sc, and Kim, Th
- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking on sperm quality using transmission electron microscopy and light microscopy.Methods: Semen samples were collected from 62 healthy men. The subjects were classified according to alcohol consumption and smoking status. Semen analysis was performed according to World Health Organization criteria. Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine sperm ultrastructure.Results: Heavy smoking (> 20 cigarettes/day) was associated with a decreased sperm count. Moderate/high alcohol consumption (≥15.4 g/day) was associated with an increase in morphologically abnormal sperm. Transmission electron microscopy revealed no effect of smoking on sperm ultrastructure. Alcohol consumption resulted in significant increases in morphologically abnormal nuclei and plasma membranes.Conclusions: Heavy smoking was associated with decreased sperm counts and alcohol consumption was associated with increased numbers of morphologically abnormal sperm.

- Abstract
Seventy-three patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia in first complete remission (CR) have received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) with non-T-lymphocyte-depleted marrow obtained from matched sibling donors. The first 36 patients received a preparative regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide, 60 mg/kg/d (days -6 and -5), and 750 cGy single-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) (day -1). Subsequently, 37 patients received cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/d (days -6 and -5), and 165 cGy fractionated TBI administered twice daily for a total dose of 1,320 cGy (days -4, -3, -2, and -1). Survivors have been followed from 9 to 124 months (median, 40 months). The 61% (95% confidence interval [CI], 45% to 77%) projected disease-free survival (DFS) of 41 children less than 18 years old does not differ significantly from the 62% (95% CI, 49% to 73%) projected DFS of 32 adults at 84 months (P = .89). Similarly, the 15% (95% CI, 1% to 29%) projected relapse rate seen in children does not differ from the 9% (95% CI, 0% to 21%) seen in adults (P = .69). Multivariate Cox regression analysis of presenting features demonstrates that a presenting WBC count greater than 20,000/m3 is associated with decreased DFS (P = .01). When compared with other French-American- British (FAB) subtypes, presentation with FAB M4 or M5 morphology is significantly associated with relapse in multivariate analysis (P = .014). Other presenting features such as preparation with single-dose or fractionated TBI, interval from diagnosis to CR or CR to BMT, donor or recipient sex, and donor or recipient cytomegalovirus serology do not correlate independently with either DFS or relapse. When included in the stepwise multivariate analysis of presenting patient features, two posttransplant events, development of grades 2 to 4 acute graft-v- host disease (GVHD) (P less than .03) and development of interstitial pneumonitis (P less than .001), also correlate independently with poor DFS. Allogeneic BMT provides equivalent, prolonged DFS in both children and young adults when performed in first CR and should be considered the therapy of choice for all first CR patients under 45 years of age with a suitable donor. Continued efforts to prevent and treat acute GVHD and pneumonitis as well as efforts designed to prevent relapse in patients presenting with FAB M4 and M5 morphology should further improve outcome.

Chan, WC, Brynes, RK, Kim, TH, Verras, A, Schick, C, Green, RJ, and Ragab, AH
- Abstract
Two girls, each less than 2 yr of age, developed acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (malignant myelosclerosis). Both presented with anemia, severe thrombocytopenia, and a low percentage of blasts in their peripheral blood. Their marrow showed marked reticulin fibrosis with an increase in blasts and immature megakaryocytes. The blasts stained negatively for myeloperoxidase and Sudan Black B, but showed acid phosphatase (ACP) and alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) activity inhibitable by sodium fluoride. They were identified as megakaryoblasts by the platelet peroxidase reaction. Cytogenetic studies showed multiple chromosomal abnormalities in both cases. Chemotherapy with vincristine, prednisone, and L-asparaginase was without effect, while daunorubicin and cytosine arabinoside induced a complete remission in one case. The second case responded to a combination of cytosine arabinoside, daunorubicin, and 6-thioguanine. This article documents that acute megakaryoblastic leukemia occurs in early childhood and describes its clinical, pathologic, and cytogenetic features. Previous reports of childhood “myelofibrosis” are reviewed, and their possible relationship with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia is discussed.

- Abstract
Fifteen patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in second or subsequent remission received intensive therapy with cyclophosphamide and single dose, rapid rate (26 cGy/min) total body irradiation (TBI) followed by bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from a histocompatible sibling match. Outcome was compared to that of 23 conventionally treated control patients in second ALL remission who presented to the same institution during the same time period but had no available transplant donor. The 15 BMT patients and 23 control patients had similar characteristics, with the exception that the BMT patients were significantly older at the time of ALL diagnosis (12.6 yr versus 5.7 yr, p = 0.01). BMT patients had a significantly increased chance of remaining disease-free for 36 mo from time on study (43% actuarial versus 5%, p = 0.004) and a greater overall survival rate at 48 mo (47% actuarial versus 9%, p = 0.27) than the conventionally treated patients. In all, 5 of the bone marrow transplant patients (33%) remain alive and free of disease 24–48 + mo from transplantation. Several pre- and posttransplant characteristics were analyzed to determine predictive factors for a successful BMT outcome for patients with ALL in second or subsequent remission. Significant risk factors for predicting leukemic relapse included initial white blood count (WBC) greater than 50,000/microliters at ALL diagnosis (100% relapse rate versus 37% for patients with lower WBCs, p = 0.001) and presence of any extramedullary disease pre-BMT (100% relapse rate versus 37% for patients without extramedullary disease, p = 0.03). All 5 disease-free BMT survivors had initial WBCs less than 50,000/microliters and no evidence of extramedullary disease pretransplantation. Maintenance chemotherapy with 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) and methotrexate was given to four patients starting 100 days after bone marrow transplantation. Use of maintenance chemotherapy was associated with a significantly increased chance of remaining disease free (100% of patients surviving leukemia-free versus 17% for patients not receiving maintenance chemotherapy, p = 0.02). Presence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) did not influence leukemia-free survival. These results confirm that intensive therapy followed by bone marrow transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with ALL in second or subsequent remission who have a histocompatible sibling match. Furthermore, the data suggest that a controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance chemotherapy post-BMT for ALL patients is warranted.

Ramsay, NK, Kim, TH, McGlave, P, Goldman, A, Nesbit, ME Jr, Krivit, W, Woods, WG, and Kersey, JH
- Abstract
A preparative regimen, consisting of total lymphoid irradiation and cyclophosphamide, was utilized in 40 patients with severe aplastic anemia undergoing allogeneic marrow transplantation. This regimen was successful in decreasing rejection in these previously transfused patients, as only one patient rejected the marrow graft. Twenty-nine of the 40 transplanted patients are surviving from 1.5 to 59 mo, with a median follow-up of 24 mo. The actuarial survival rate for these heavily transfused patients with aplastic anemia is 72% at 2 yr. This preparative regimen is extremely effective in decreasing rejection following transplantation for severe aplastic anemia. Future efforts in this area must be aimed at the elimination of graft-versus-host disease and control of fatal infections.

15. Two new acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines with early B-cell phenotypes
- Author

Findley, HW Jr, Cooper, MD, Kim, TH, Alvarado, C, and Ragab, AH
- Abstract
Two leukemic cell lines (697 and 207) were established from bone marrow cells obtained from children with ALL in relapse. These cell lines were positive for the common-ALL antigen (CALLA), the HLA-DR (i.e., Ia-like) antigen, and for cytoplasmic and surface IgM heavy chains. The lines were negative for other immunoglobulin heavy chains and light chains. The lines had elevated levels of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase enzyme and expressed surface antigens found on normal myeloid- macrophage cells (MMA) and on natural killer cells (HNK-1). A minority of cells in line 207 expressed the T-1, T-6, and Leu-1 antigens as detected by monoclonal antibodies. Line 697 was positive for Epstein- Barr virus (EBV), while line 207 did not possess EBV. Line 697 carried a marker chromosome (identified as a translocation between chromosomes 7 and 19), which was also patient's fresh leukemic cells. The leukemic origin of the cell lines was further indicated by their morphological, cytochemical, and immunologic similarity to the patients' leukemic cells. Phenotypically, both cell lines appear to be arrested in a transitional stage of development between pre-B and B cells and express surface antigens usually found on normal and fresh leukemic cells of non-B-cell lineages.

17. Changes in Source-Sink Relationship for Nitrogen During Regrowth of Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) Following Removal of Shoots

- Abstract
An experiment with lucerne plants (Medicago sativa L.) previously labelled with 15N and grown in hydroponic culture, was undertaken to define sink and source behaviour of different organs in defoliated and intact plants. Changes in 15N contents of plants during 24 days of regrowth on an unlabelled medium after defoliation were used to estimate flows of exogenous and endogenous nitrogen. The 15N content of regrowing stems and leaves increased as a result of remobilisation mainly from lateral and tap roots which, therefore, acted as source organs. Nitrogen remobilisation reached a plateau after 10 days of regrowth and, until this time, nearly all N for shoot regrowth came from endogenous N in roots and crown. Between 25 and 35% of N reserves were translocated to regrowing stems, the remainder to regrowing leaves. Amino acid-N was the most readily available form of N while protein-N was the largest storage pool. Nitrogen uptake from the medium and accumulation in source organs (roots and crown) was significant only between days 6 and 14, and almost all was subsequently translocated to regrowing tissues. Defoliation induced changes in source-sink relationships for N. Whereas stems and tap roots were the main sink organs in intact plants, regrowing shoots exerted a stronger sink behaviour in defoliated plants.

- Abstract
Purpose: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness, measured by echocardiography, is associated to the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and severe aortic stenosis (AS). EAT thickness is commonly referred as the diameter of the echo-free space between the right ventricular wall and the visceral layer of the pericardium in parasternal long axis view, using the aortic annulus as an anatomic landmark (EAT-1). We aimed to demonstrate that the direct measurement of the adipose tissue thickness visualized in the space between the ascending aorta and the right ventricle (EAT-2) might be considered an alternative method. Methods: We measured EAT-1 and EAT-2 in 130 pts with severe cardiac disease referred for cardiac surgery: 53 pts with isolated AS, 49 pts with severe CAD, and 28 pts with both severe AS and CAD (AS+CAD); and in 50 control subjects matched for age, sex and BMI. The two measurements were obtained at end-systole in 3 cardiac cycles (figure). Results. Both EAT-1 and EAT-2 measurements had an excellent reproducibility. With respect to controls pts had significantly increased EAT-1 (2,4 ± 0,5mm vs 6 ± 2mm; p<0,05) and EAT-2 (3 ± 1,2mm vs 12 ± 3mm; p<0,05). EAT-1 and EAT-2 were not statistically different in controls. EAT-2 was significantly higher than EAT-1 in CAD, AS, and AS+CAD pts (p<0,05). Interestingly, EAT-2, but not EAT-1, was significantly increased in AS+CAD pts with respect to EAT-2 of pts with isolated AS and isolated CAD. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that EAT-2, as well as EAT-1, is a valuable method to measure EAT thickness. Further, EAT-2 seems to better recognize EAT increase, in pts with AS+CAD. Comprehensively, EAT-2 is greater than EAT-1. The larger space between ascending aorta and right ventricle, allowing EAT expansion, could justify our observation.

- Abstract
Purpose: Transthoracic 3D echocardiography (3DE) allows an unparalleled opportunity for quantifying the dynamic changes of the tricuspid annulus (TA). Accordingly, our aims were: (I) to assess the determinants of TA size during cardiac cycle in healthy subjects; (II) to propose an approach and timing for TA sizing using 3DE. Methods: In 50 healthy volunteers (45±14 yrs, range 18-74, 27 males, with no risk factors, symptoms, signs or history of cardiovascular disease and on no medication), a full-volume dataset of the right ventricle (RV) containing the tricuspid valve (TV) was acquired (Vivid E9, GE Healthcare). TA diameters (septo-lateral, SL; antero-posterior, AP) and areas were measured on multiplanar images (Flexi-slice, EchoPac BT12, GE Healthcare) at 5 time points during the cardiac cycle: OS (onset of systole, at TV closure); MS (mid-systole); ES (end-systole); ED (onset of diastole); LD (late diastole, after the P wave). RV volumes and ejection fraction (EF) were analyzed with commercial software (4D RV analysis, TomTec, D). Results: Temporal resolution of the 3D datasets was 32±4 vps (range 24-53). TA areas were more closely correlated with RV volumes and body surface area (BSA) than with either SL or AP diameters. TA areas increased during systole from OS (3.9±0.6 cm2/m2) to ES (4.9±0.8 cm2/m2) and reached its largest area in LD (6.7±1.0 cm2/m2). All 5 TA areas were correlated with BSA (r range 0.57-0.62) and RV volumes (r ranges 0.53-0.60 for end-diastolic volume and 0.43-0.50 for end-systolic volume, p<0.0001 for all). Indexed TA areas were not related to either age or gender. With multivariable analysis, both RV end-diastolic volume and BSA determined TA areas during systole and early diastole, while TA area at LD and at OS were independently related with BSA only. Conclusions: In healthy subjects, the main determinants of TA size are RV volume and BSA. The largest TA area occurs at LD and is independently related with BSA only. Therefore, normative values should be based on TA areas measured at LD and indexed for BSA. However, the rapid change in TA areas occurring from LD to OS underscores the importance of adequate temporal resolution of 3DE data sets for reliable TA measurements.

- Abstract
Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare connective tissue disease that can lead to severe heart complications, i.e. congestive heart failure, arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The latter are associated with poor prognosis in SSc. The aim of this study was to test whether infra-clinical myocardial dysfunction can be detected in patients with SSc free from cardiovascular symptoms. Methods: Global LV, and segmental right ventricular longitudinal strain (2D-speckle tracking strain) were quantified by transthoracic echocardiography to assess ventricular deformations in 48 patients suffering from SSc and 40 matched control subjects. Results: Despite normal LVEF, patients presenting SSc had significantly impaired LV GLS in compared to controls (17.9 +/- 3.04 % vs -19.4+/- 2.3 %; p= 0.01). By contrast, there was no significant difference on lateral and inferior RV strain between patients and controls. Decreased LV deformation was detected in patients regardless of pulmonary injury, i.e. restrictive syndrome and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc had impaired (GLV?) LV and RV strains in 4 and 2 chamber views compared to those presenting a limited form of cutaneous SSc, with respectively, -18.9 +/- 3.47% vs -16.6+/- 3.70%, p=0.039 and -19.7+/- 2.93% versus -17.6+/- 3.40% p=0.047. Conclusion: Speckle-tracking strain analysis can detect infra-clinical impairment of LV myocardial function in patients with SSc who are free from any cardiovascular symptoms regardless of SSc impact on pulmonary function.
