[source] Strain differences in autotomy in mice after peripheral nerve transection or repairMICROSURGERY, Issue 4 2003Roee E. Rubinstein A.B. The purpose of this study was to identify the optimal murine model for the study of peripheral nerve injury and nerve and limb transplantation. The degree of self-mutilation (autotomy) following sciatic and saphenous nerve injury was assessed in four mouse strains, Balb/C, C57BL/6J, C57BL/10J, and C3HEB, commonly used in surgical research. Experimental groups included sciatic and saphenous nerve transection with repair (n = 9) or without repair (n = 9), as well as housing arrangements favoring social interaction vs. isolation. Autotomy was most prevalent in the Balb/c and C3H strains at 56% and 89% overall, respectively, and was much less frequently seen in the C57Bl/10 and C57Bl/6 strains (22% and 11%, respectively). Autotomy was found to correlate most strongly with mouse strain, and with social contact as well. Two strains, C57BL/6J and C57BL/10J, were found to be highly resistant to self-mutilation, and are thus ideal animal models for peripheral-nerve and whole-limb transplant studies. © 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc. MICROSURGERY 23:363,368 2003 [source] Nurturing of surgical careers by the wellington surgical interest clubANZ JOURNAL OF SURGERY, Issue 4 2009Sanket Srinivasa The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) has recently introduced the new Surgical Education and Training programme. The purpose of this was, in part, to help address the anticipated shortage of surgeons in the future, by streamlining the surgical training programme. The formation of the Wellington Surgical Interest Club (WSIC), a student-led initiative, had several complementary goals. These included the desire to identify potential candidates for a career in surgery, promote a surgical career to students especially women, help students acquire basic surgical skills early, inform students about surgical careers, promote student involvement in surgical research and to create an effective mentorship model during undergraduate and junior surgical training. The strengths of WSIC are its goals, which are similar to those of the RACS with regard to promoting surgery as a career option; its easy reproducibility at other medical institutions; its ability to focus on issues of relevance to both students and junior doctors; and being a bridging solution at a time when early exposure to surgical specialties is both desired and necessary. [source] Surgical Appreciation of Robert boyle in the 21st CenturyANZ JOURNAL OF SURGERY, Issue 12 2000D. L. Murphy Robert Boyle was known as the Father of Chemistry. He lived at a time when science and religion were closely linked. It was a pious and puritanical time, but also a time of great enlightenment. His original and paramount thesis, that air has weight, has given us Boyle's gas law. Another of his writings in the Cowlishaw Collection is on religion. It is stated that, at one stage, he was deliberating whether to be a scientist or a priest. Surgical appreciation of Boyle's law has poignant application in scientific methods and research in the 21st century. The development of advanced laparoscopic surgery represents a challenging new era in surgery that was not envisaged by our surgical predecessors. Basic surgical research into the effects of gas pressure on renal function and bowel response will be presented. [source] | ||||||||||
