“…The incidence of pelvic lymphocele observed in this study (8.7%) seems to be rather higher than the 2, 3 and 5% recently reported in the literature [4,9,10] although a wide range of higher rates was quoted previously [11][12][13]. Our series included both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases diagnosed by ultrasound.…”

We evaluated the clinical experience of 115 women with early stage cervical cancer who had been operated in our Gynecologic Oncology Clinic. Of these, 85 were in stage I, and 30 in stage II. Intraoperative complications occurred in 16 patients including 3 cases concerning bladder, 1 ureter, 1 aorta, 5 v.cava inferior, 1 internal iliac a., 3 internal iliac v., 1 obturator nerve and 1 recto-vaginal septum hematoma formation. Postoperative complications were observed in 38 patients. These were 14 bladder dysfunctions, 10 lymphocyst formations, 6 urinary infections, 12 wound infections, 3 pelvic infections, 2 eviscerations and 1 incisional hernia. However, no death occurred due to intraoperative or postoperative complications. Pelvic lymph node metastases were observed in 32 patients of whom 17 had only unilateral involvement, most often in the obturator region. Para-aortic lymph node metastases were diagnosed in 4 patients, all of whom were in stage II.

“…Seeds were boiled and the QA leached out in running water [16]. Considering their biological activity it is not surprising that a few QA have a medical application in cardiology and obstetrics [17], Furtherm ore the x-pyridone-type QA cytisine and N-m ethylcytisine have halucinogenic properties ( [18], Wink un published observation).…”

Quinolizidine Alkaloids, M ollusc Repellency, C oevolution, Plant-H erbivore Interaction, Snails, Chemical Defense Polyphagous molluscs such as H elix pom atia and Arion rufus generally do not feed on plants containing alkaloids. O f 19 species tested 10 species were totally avoided, the other 9 species were less attacked than Lactuca sativa, which was readily taken. Plants containing quinolizidine alkaloids were studied in detail. Those species with the a-pyridone alkaloids cytisine and N-methylcytisine were avoided to a higher extent than plants with lupanine as the major alkaloid. Since the repellency observed could be due to other natural products present in the plants besides the alkaloids, the feeding response o f H elix pom atia was tested on artificial diets containing quinolizidine alkaloids in various concentrations as the only variable. If the snails had the choice they clearly preferred alkaloid-free food or a diet with only low alkaloid concen trations. Half-maximal repellency o f cytisine is less than 2 m M , o f sparteine 1 -5 m M , and o f lupanine 1 -8 mM. Since the in vivo concentrations o f sparteine, cytisine, and lupanine are equal to or higher than the inhibitory concentrations required it is concluded that quinolizidine alkaloids constitute a potential antimolluscan principle o f legum es.

“…Reports from the literature [4,16,19,27] induced us to discontinue the use of heparin, as it could have been the cause of the high morbidity. There were various reports of an increased incidence of lymphoceles under heparin after inguinal [22], pelvic [9], and urologie surgery [4,24], There is pos sibly a dose-dependent relation between the kind of com plication and heparin, which implies that low heparin doses enhance lymphocele formation while higher doses may lead to hemorrhagic complications. Increased lym phocele formation was reported by Catalona et al [4], Kurth et al [16], and Sogani et al [24] under heparin doses of 9,000-10,000 IU/day.…”
