Abstract
We report a new case of mucinous ductal extasia of the pancreas observed in a 64-year-old man with a history of chronic exocrine failure. Diagnosis was obtained by CT, duodenal endoscopy and retrograde cholangio-pancreatography. Risk of malignant degeneration and increased CA 19-9 led to duodenopancreatectomy. Histology confirmed the diagnosis but revealed no malignant lesion. After a 3-year follow-up, the patient is in excellent health. Based on this observation and a review of the literature, we present the characteristic features of mucinous ductal ectasia of the pancreas.

Abstract
The Canadian health system is at a crossroads. Significant health services restructuring is occurring across the country. This restructuring process provides a unique opportunity for Public Health and others to reorient the system away from illness to a focus on health--the health of individuals and communities. The purpose of this paper is to motivate and equip Public Health workers to take leadership in the restructuring, to outline key responses and strategies for Public Health associations, to raise public awareness about restructuring, and to challenge decision makers to integrate the Public Health perspective into the restructured health system. This Issue Paper describes the unique contributions Public Health has to offer health services restructuring, outlines the Public Health response to specific restructuring issues, and identifies some successful strategies for influencing change. Two key messages are explored in the paper: 1. Restructuring will be successful if it is based on an investment in health. The health of the public can be maintained and improved through changes to the institutional sector and support for health promotion, disease prevention and health protection services. 2. Public Health must be a full partner in the restructuring of health services. The Public Health perspective includes a broad understanding of the issues that are relevant to the health of individuals and communities. The skills and knowledge base offered through Public Health provide balance and equity in decision making, by ensuring full and representative involvement of community workers and the public. The uniqueness of Public Health is manifested in three distinct ways: its approach within an organized system of practice; its historical contribution; and its purposeful combination of perspectives, skills and knowledge. In partnership with communities, other health professionals and other health-determining sectors, Public Health works to protect, maintain and improve the health of Canadians. While other sectors undertake some of the functions outlined below, what makes Public Health unique is that these contributions are offered collectively through an organized system of practitioners to create a synergistic effect. Eight contributions of Public Health are identified in this paper. Specifically Public Health: Focuses on individuals and communities in a societal and global context. Builds capacity in individuals and communities to improve health. Facilitates community mobilization through community participation. Embraces promotion, prevention, protection. Influences the orientation of the health system toward health outcomes. Provides disease surveillance and control. Builds partnerships among sectors at the local level. Advocates for the health of the public. In addition to describing these contributions, the Issue Paper addresses the major trends in health services restructuring by providing an overview of the issues and outlining the Public Health response. While there is no one single model of restructuring occurring in the provinces and territories, many common themes exist. This paper highlights four categories of restructuring issues: I. Making a Difference in Health II. Skills and Knowledge Base III. Allocation of Financial Resources IV. Governance and Management.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Epidural fentanyl injection can provide analgesia following thoracotomy, but where to insert the catheter is a matter of debate. The study compares the effects of thoracic and lumbar patient-controlled epidural fentanyl on analgesia, fentanyl requirements, and plasma levels after thoracotomy. METHODS Thirty patients were randomized into two groups to receive either thoracic or lumbar patient-controlled epidural fentanyl for postoperative analgesia. Postoperative pain (10 cm, visual analog scale [VAS]) and fentanyl requirements were assessed every 4 hours for 24 hours and at 12-hour intervals for the next day. Fentanyl plasma levels were measured at 8 and 16 hours after surgery. Results were expressed as mean +/- 1 SD and analyzed using Student's t-test, ANOVA, and chi-square analysis at P < .05. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients completed the study (14 in the lumbar and 15 in the thoracic group). The VAS scores and fentanyl requirements were not significantly different at any time interval in the thoracic group as compared to the lumbar group. VAS scores at 0 hours (4.6) and 4 hours (4.6) in the lumbar group were higher than VAS scores at 12 hours (2.8; P = .04), 16 hours (2.5; P = .02), and 20 hours (2.2; P = .01) in the same group. No significant difference was found between the fentanyl plasma levels of the two groups after 8 hours (lumbar, 0.26 +/- 0.37 ng/mL; thoracic, 0.22 +/- 0.20 ng/mL) or 16 hours (lumbar, 0.36 +/- 0.17 ng/mL; thoracic, 0.44 +/- 0.32 ng/mL). CONCLUSIONS The authors concluded that there is little if any advantage of thoracic over lumbar patient-controlled epidural fentanyl administration in patients after thoracotomy with respect to analgesia, fentanyl requirements, and plasma levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The admission to hospital of three construction workers with acute respiratory distress caused by inhalation of chlorine gas prompted the inspection of a building site located in a kraft pulpmill. The accidental emissions had taken place in the bleach plant and the construction workers assigned there were surveyed to uncover possible large scale health effects. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS A questionnaire was presented to 281 workers (participation rate = 97%); 257 workers reported an average of 24 exposure episodes to chlorine and derivatives over a three to six month period. The air monitoring data available from the pulpmill's industrial hygienist were not useful in linking specific events reported by the workers to environmental conditions in the bleach plant. RESULTS Over 60% of the workers described a characteristic flu like syndrome that lasted for an average of 11 days and was exacerbated by new bouts of exposure. Irritation of the throat (78%) and eyes (77%), cough (67%), and headache (63%) were the most often reported symptoms. Shortness of breath was reported by 54% of the participants and was not associated with age, smoking state, or history of asthma or chronic bronchitis. First aid self referral was associated with significantly greater reporting of most symptoms, including dyspnoea and cough. A significantly greater proportion of workers in the dyspnoea group had gone at least once for first aid care after a gassing incident (64% as opposed to 48%, p = 0.008). Throat irritation and cough persisted for mean intervals of eight and 11 days respectively. A flu like syndrome lasted for an average of 20 days. Seventy one subjects were considered to be a moderate to high risk of having persisting respiratory symptoms. CONCLUSION Throat and eye irritation as well as cough and flu like symptoms are frequent occurrences after repeated accidental inhalation of chlorine. Subjects who consulted first aid care stations after a gassing incident are more likely to have persisting dyspnoea.

Abstract
Among 327 surgical repairs of incisional hernias done between 1974 and 1989, 68 repairs (21%) were performed because of a primary treatment failure. Failed primary attempts of cure had been unique in 71%, and multiple in 29% of cases; their procedure had been essentially suture or herniorrhaphy. Site of recurrent incisional hernia (R.I.H.), was midline or lateral incision in respectively 84% and 16% of cases. Size of R.I.H. was considered as large in two third of cases. Operation was performed electively in majority of cases (93%). More than half of the patients were "prepared" by preoperative pneumoperitoneum and/or weight reducing regimen. Mersilene* mesh was used in 81% of cases. Results of treatment of R.I.H. are reported, depending on procedure. Among 55 cures by use of Mersilene* mesh, 1 patient died (from myocardial infarction), and 5 recurrences occurred, 4 of which from sepsis. Study of complications and failures suggests: 1) careful attention to indications, 2) advantages of a large size Mersilene* mesh, 3) attention to preoperative treatment, especially weight loss regimen and progressive pneumoperitoneum.

Abstract
Isolated mouse osteoblasts that retain their osteogenic activity in culture were incubated with [35S] sulfate. Two radiolabeled proteins, in addition to proteoglycans, were extracted from the calcified matrix of osteoblast cultures. All the sulfate label in both proteins was in the form of tyrosine sulfate as assessed by amino acid analysis and thin layer chromatography following alkaline hydrolysis. The elution behavior on DEAE-Sephacel of the major sulfated protein and the apparent Mr on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels were characteristic of bone sialoprotein II extracted from rat. This protein was shown to cross-react with an antiserum raised against bovine bone sialoprotein II, indicating that bone sialoprotein II synthesized by cultured mouse osteoblasts is a tyrosine-sulfated protein. The minor sulfated protein was tentatively identified as bone sialoprotein I or osteopontin based on its elution properties on DEAE-Sephacel and anomalous behavior on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels similar to those reported for rat bone sialoprotein I.

Abstract
The hypophosphatemic (Hyp) mouse is a model for human X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). To test the hypothesis of an abnormal osteoblast function in XLH, periostea and osteoblasts isolated from normal and Hyp mice were transplanted im into normal and mutant mice. The thickness of the osteoid seams at the periphery of the bone nodules and the osteoid volume were measured in transplants as an index of bone formation. Impaired mineralization was evidenced in transplants of Hyp cells into Hyp mice by excessive osteoid thickness and volume compared with transplants of normal cells into normal mice. When normal cells were transplanted into mutant mice, the osteoid thickness and volume were markedly increased, demonstrating that the extracellular environment is critical for bone formation. In contrast, when Hyp cells were transplanted into normal mice, reduction, but not normalization, of the osteoid thickness and volume was observed. This abnormal bone formation supports the hypothesis of an osteoblast defect in the Hyp mouse.

Abstract
2 cases of severe pulmonary valvular stenosis in two young adults aged 21 and 29 years respectively are presented. Despite the degree of stenosis (4 mm jet), the right ventricular pressures did not exceed systemic pressures because of severe tricuspid regurgitation. This dominated the clinical and anatomical findings, causing aneurysmal dilatation of the right atrium and displacement of the tricuspid valve to the left. The diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly was raised in one case but excluded by echocardiography and angiocardiography. In spite of the severity of the symptoms and peripheral clinical signs, surgery of the right ventricular outflow tract, tricuspid valvuloplasty and resection of part of the right atrium led to a complete and rapid cure, confirmed by catheterisation one month after operation.

Abstract
It is shown that the tert-butyloxycarbonylation of phenols, alcohols, enols, and thiols can be accomplished by reaction of these functionalities with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate under phase transfer conditions. The reactions proceed in high yield and can also be used for the introduction of t-BOC groups onto functionalized polymer backbones such as novolac or poly(p-hydroxystyrene). In addition, a study is made of the selectivity towards tert-butyloxycarbonylation of various polyfunctional compounds.

Abstract
Tricuspid annular calcification was observed on cardiac screening of a 50 year old woman with congenital valvular pulmonary stenosis and confirmed by angiography. At operation, the tricuspid annular calcification was palpable but there was no interference with valvular function. There was no associated disease process in this patient. Phosphate and calcium metabolism was normal. Tricuspid annular calcification is very rare: 7 other reported cases, aged 42 to 51 years old. All patients had right ventricular hypertension usually caused by pulmonary stenosis. Tricuspid valve function was normal in all cases. The pathogenesis is discussed: a premature degenerative process favored by right ventricular hypertension may be responsible. This would appear to be the first case to be published in France.

Abstract
Cardiac catheterisation was carried out on an unselected series of 148 patients who had undergone complete correction of Fallot's tetralogy after an average postoperative period of si and a half years (range 2 to 20 years). 4% residual significant interventricular shunts (Qp/Qs > 1.3), 11% residual stenosis on the infundibulo-pulmonary tract (gradient greater than or equal to 10 mmHg) and 60% pulmonary incompetence was found. These findings do not reflect the excellent clinical results. All patients had normal lives: 89% remain asymptomatic since their operation and symptoms in the other patients are limited to moderate dyspnoea on effort or to arrhythmias which are usually periodic. A synthesis of the clinical and haemodynamic data shows that only a quarter of patients may be considered to be cured, that although the surgical results in 2/3 patients are not perfect, they are satisfactory, and that the results of complete correction in the remaining 12% are poor. The results do not appear to be related to the age at which correction was performed or to previous palliative surgery. On the other hand, the long-term haemodynamic results were related to the surgical method of infundibulo-pulmonary repair. Systolic right ventricular pressures of over 60 mmHg recorded at the end of operation in 33 patients, had returned to normal in 76% cases. These results suggest that the indications for prosthetic remodeling of the infundibulo-pulmonary tract should be increased, although this does not always prevent residual stenosis.

Abstract
Atresia of the pulmonary valve with an intact interventricular septum is a rare cyanotic congenital cardiac malformation. Rare at birth, it is exceptionally rare for cases to survive over 5 years. Three cases of porlonged survival aged eleven nineteen and thirty-four years are reported. In the latter case, the abnormality was probably aquired. Prolonged survival is related to a collateral pulmonary circulation. Surgical treatment is discussed with respect to the anatomical features. Good results were obtained in the two operated cases.

Abstract
In a major junior hockey team there were 238 injuries in 257 games during the three seasons of 1973-76 (mean number of injuries per game, 0.926). Incapacity from these injuries resulted in a loss of 345 practices and 299 games (mean number per injury, 1.45 and 1.26, respectively). The site of the game, whether at home or out of town, and the period in which the injury occurred did not seem to be important. Risk of injury seemed to be greatest in the defensive zone. Forwards were the most often injured, their injuries accounting for 45.8% of the total; defensive players were next most often hurt (31.9%). The age of the injured players ranged from 16 to 19 years, those 19 years old predominating (42.0%).There were 91 injuries of the lower limb (38.2% of the total), the knee being the site most frequently injured (31 injuries; 34.1% of the 91), and 74 injuries of the upper limb, the shoulder being the site most frequently injured (25 injuries; 33.8% of the 74). The main causes of injury were a blow by the puck (frequency, 21.0%), a check (18.5%), a blow by a stick (14.7%) and a fight (13.4%).

Abstract
Reactional infundibular hypertrophy in pulmonary valve stenosis is usually assessed on the catheterization curves obtained in the infundibulum and in the inflow tract of the right ventricle. It is usually indicated by a peculiar pattern of the infundibular curve: its descending branch is more rapid than in the inflow tract and is slightly curvilinear. This deformity is the more marked the more intense the hypertrophy. Simultaneously a mid-late systolic murmur is recorded into the infundibulum the more intense and high-pitched the more marked the hypertrophy. Comparison with the angiocardiographic data and the operative findings showed a good correlation.

Abstract
Report of one case of a woman aged 29 years with a severe cyanotic congenital heart disease complicated by brain abscess. The diagnosis of left juxtaposition of the atria combined with dextroversion, a d-transposition of the large vessels and a vestricular septal defect was done pre-operatively. An attempt at a Rastelli's operation was followed by immediate death. The post-mortem examination confirmed the pre-operative diagnosis and demonstrated besides a double conus and a pulmonary atresia. The juxtaposition of the atria was underlined.
