“…Using only a 23-mm steel stent prosthesis, and therefore without consequently using the oversizing technique, he first reported acceptable results in patients in 2002. [15][16][17] Valves were implanted through a transfemoral arterial retrograde or a transfemoral venous antegrade transseptal approach. CoreValve, a porcine pericardial valve mounted within a Nitinol stent of 5 cm length, is another device currently under clinical investigation in the aortic position.…”

Background-To evaluate initial multicenter results with minimally invasive transapical aortic valve implantation (TAP-AVI) for high risk patients with aortic stenosis. Methods and Results-TAP-AVI was performed via a small anterolateral minithoracotomy with or without femorofemoral extracorporeal circulation (ECC) on the beating heart. A pericardial xenograft fixed within a stainless steel, balloon expandable stent (Edwards SAPIEN THV, Edwards Lifesciences) was used. Fifty-nine consecutive patients (81Ϯ6 years, 44 female) were operated on from 02/06 until 10/06 at 4 centers using fluoroscopic and echocardiographic visualization. Average EuroSCORE predicted risk for mortality was 27Ϯ14%. TAP valve positioning was performed successfully in 53 patients, 4 required early conversion to sternotomy. Implantation (23-mm valves in 19 and 26-mm valves in 40 patients) was performed on the beating heart during brief periods of rapid ventricular pacing. Thirty-one patients were operated on without cardiopulmonary bypass. Neither coronary artery obstruction nor migration of the prosthesis was observed, and all valves had good hemodynamic function. Echocardiography revealed minor paravalvular leakage in 26 patients (trace in 11, mild in 12, and severe in 3). Eight patients died in-hospital (13.6%) without any valve dysfunction. Actuarial survival was 75.7Ϯ5.9% at a follow-up interval of 110Ϯ77 days (range 1 to 255 days). Conclusions-TAP-AVI can be performed safely with good early results in high risk patients. Long-term valve performance as well as broader based applications of this promising approach will need to be studied.

“…This indicates that the IgM subunit was bound rather weakly to the antigen. Several reports indicated that the reduced products of IgM retained the ability to bind antigen, although they lost the hemagglutinating [28], phage neutralizing [29] or precipitating activities [30,31]. Onoue et al [lo] reported recently that the number of binding sites of an anti-hapten IgM molecule is 6, based on a molecular weight of 1,000,000, and that upon dissociation o f the molecule into 6 S subunits, there was essentially no change in the number of binding sites.…”

Uridine-specific IgG and IgM antibodies, obtained by immunization of rabbits with a uridylated synthetic polypeptide, were isolated and purified by the use of a uridine-acetyl cellulose conjugate as immunosorbent. The IgM antibodies were separated from the IgG antibodies by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. Both antibody preparations were pure by ultracentrifugation and immunoelectrophoresis criteria. The precipitating activities of IgM and IgG antibodies were similar on a weight basis, although the equivalence zone in the case of IgM antibody is broader. I n spite of its inability to precipitate the homologous antigen, the reduced alkylated IgM subunits were still able to inhibit specifically the homologous precipitation in the U-pAla-pLys -IgG antibody system. The average association constants for uridine of both IgG and IgM a.ntibodies, measured by the equilibrium dialysis technique, were low and of a similar order of magnitude.The complement fixing ability of purified IgM and IgG anti-uridine antibodies upon reaction with the homologous antigen displayed significant differences : low complement fixation activity was found in the IgM fraction either a t 4" or a t 37", while a high activity was found in the IgG fraction a t both temperatures. The IgM fraction lost all of its ability to fix complement when the macroglobulin was reduced and carboxymethylated. PCA reaction, using a highly immunospecifically purified I9 S anti-uridine antibody, was found to be negative when assayed up to an amount of 100 pg.

“…Abundances in the sdO star atmosphere are published only for He (×2.8 solar), C (×0.05), N (×25) and Si (×1.4) (cf. Bauer & Husfeld 1995). The absence of substantial O, Ne and Mg lines indicates that these elements are underabundant (probably ×0.1 − 0.3, similar to other sdO stars).…”

“…Subdwarf O stars form a fairly inhomogeneous group, spreading over a large range of temperatures, surface gravity and chemical compositions. Different evolutionary and nuclear histories probably contribute to the group of sdO stars, one of the late stages of stellar evolution that leads to the formation of white dwarfs (Bauer & Husfeld 1995).…”

We discovered strong ∼ 13 s X-ray pulsations in the Rosat PSPC light curve of HD49798, a 1.55 d single-component spectroscopic binary containing a hydrogen depleted subdwarf O6 star. We find no evidence for period changes during the ∼ 4 hr Rosat pointing. The source X-ray spectrum is extremely soft, with an unabsorbed 0.1-2 keV luminosity of a few ×10 32 erg s −1 (distance of 650 pc). A higher luminosity might be hidden in the EUV. Our results imply that the unseen companion is an accreting degenerate star, a white dwarf or, more likely, a neutron star. In either case HD49798 corresponds to a previously unobserved evolutionary stage of a massive binary system, after common envelope and spiral-in.
