Abstract
Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) distribution in the brain has been associated with different reproductive and social strategies of species. Rhabdomys pumilio (R. pumilio) and Rhabdomys dilectus (R. dilectus) are two sister rodent species that live in large/medium (but flexible) or small (mostly solitary) social groups respectively. In this study, we describe and compare the distribution of OXTR in these two species. OXTR binding in the brain of R. pumilio (8 females and 5 males) and R. dilectus (8 females and 5 males) adults was determined using autoradiography. Our results revealed significant differences in the nucleus accumbens, diagonal band, medial preoptic area, lateral habenula, superior colliculus, periaqueductal area and anterior paraventricular nucleus (higher in R. dilectus), and the dorsal lateral septum and anterior bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (higher in R. pumilio). OXTR density in other brain regions, such as the amygdala nuclei and hippocampus, did not differ between the two species. Sex differences were found in the medial preoptic area and ventral region of the lateral septum in R. pumilio (OXTR density higher in males) and in the anterior paraventricular thalamic nucleus, ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus and basolateral amygdala of R. dilectus (OXTR density higher in females). A sex difference in the density of OXTR was also found in the posterior region of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, where it was higher in males than in females of both species. This study shows species-specific brain distribution of OXTR in R. pumilio and R. dilectus that are unique, but with similarities with other polygynous or promiscuous rodent species that live in variable size groups, such as R. norvergicus, C. sociabilis, S. teguina and M. musculus.

Abstract
Helium retention and diffusion in molybdenum is studied on an atomistic scale with ab initio methods. The thermal stability of helium-vacancy clusters is quantified within the framework of density functional theory. Calculated helium emission rates are used to derive a desorption spectrum which is compared with experimental results. The agreement between the current calculations and available experiments is satisfactory except in the high temperature end of the spectrum. The current results indicate that above 1100 K He migration is assisted by lattice defects such as vacancies, rather than through interstitial diffusion.

Abstract
We have revealed, and resolved, an apparent inability of density functional theory, within the local density and generalized gradient approximations, to describe vacancies in Al accurately and consistently. The shortcoming is due to electron correlation effects near electronic edges and we show how to correct for them. We find that the divacancy in Al is energetically unstable and we show that anharmonic atomic vibrations explain the non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of the vacancy concentration.

Abstract
Fifty consecutive massively obese patients referred for gastroplasty operations were prospectively studied to determine the existence of gastroesophageal reflux disease by means of a standardized questionnaire, 24-hr ambulatory pH-metry, and endoscopy (27 females, mean age 48 years, range 38-57 years). These patients had a body mass index (BMI) of 42.5 +/- 5.2 kg/m2 and an actual weight of 125.5 +/- 17 kg. Heartburn and acid regurgitation was reported by 37% and 28%, respectively, mostly of a mild degree (22% and 20%). Dysphagia was reported by 2%, but none had odynophagia. No patient had any macroscopic esophagitis. The pH data were compared with those obtained in 29 age- and sex-matched, symptom-free, healthy controls (15 females, mean age 47.6 years, range 30-63 years). During ambulatory pH-metry, we recorded a predominance of daytime reflux (7.2 +/- 8.2% and total acid exposure of 5.3 +/- 6.4%) in the obese patients, but neither the weight, BMI, nor the waist-hip ratio were significantly correlated with any of the reflux variables. The pH data obtained from these patients did not, however, differ significantly from those recorded in the control population, although a somewhat lower daytime acid reflux was found in the latter group. These results suggest that massive overweight is not associated with an increased prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Abstract
The scintigraphic detection of small nocturnal aspirations of radio-labelled gastric contents is difficult in the presence of high remaining activity in the abdomen, causing a non-uniform background activity. This problem was examined in phantom experiments and a technique for interpolative background correction was further developed. The accuracy of this technique was found to be influenced by the distance between the lung and the abdominal source of activity, and the minimum detectable 'aspirated' activity was determined as 0.1 MBq at a distance of 15 cm and 1 MBq at 5 cm. The interpolative technique for background correction was evaluated on healthy volunteers and laryngectomized patients, examined 10 h after intragastric instillation of 200 MBq of 99Tcm-pertechnetate. After background subtraction, their calculated pulmonary mean net count value was comparable to that registered before the radioactive tracer was administered. No localized accumulation of activity was found in any of these controls. The technique was then applied clinically to 55 patients with chronic respiratory disorders and symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux. Aspiration was detected in 11 patients (20%). Five aspirators had asthma, two a chronic cough of unknown origin, two recurrent pulmonary infections, and one chronic bronchitis and chronic laryngitis respectively. Aspiration was detected among patients with and without demonstrated pathological gastroesophageal reflux.

Abstract
A questionnaire study was conducted to assess the prevalence and severity of symptoms suggestive of esophageal disorders in a general population. The study included 407 randomly selected subjects, evenly distributed in terms of sex and age, within the age span of 20-79 years. A total of 337 subjects replied (85%). Symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux were found among 25% of the participants. Cough on swallowing was common (27%), as was globus (16%) and chest pain (13%). In addition, dysphagia was reported by 10% and vomiting by 9%. The symptoms were usually mild, and moderate to severe symptoms were reported only occasionally (1-4%). No statistical correlation was found between esophageal symptoms and age, sex, or the reported consumption of tobacco, alcohol, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The frequency of heartburn and/or acid regurgitation was twice as common among those with symptoms of respiratory disease as among those with no respiratory complaints. A stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that a chronic cough and/or breathing difficulties were significantly related to the presence of symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux.

Abstract
A retrospective study has been made of 302 patients with vocal cord carcinoma stage I and II treated between 1963 and 1983, emphasizing treatment failure patterns. The primary treatment modalities were radiotherapy for 266 patients and surgery for 36 patients. The minimum follow-up was 4 years. After primary radiotherapy there were 63 local recurrences and 7 neck lymph node recurrences, all appearing outside the target volume. The actuarial loco-regional recurrence-free rates at 5 years were 78% for T1, 76% for T2a (normal cord mobility) and 60% for T2b (impaired cord mobility) tumors. The actuarial regional lymph node recurrence-free rates at 5 years were 99, 100 and 93% for T1, T2a and T2b tumors respectively. The actuarial corrected survivals at 5 years were 95, 96 and 79% for T1, T2a and T2b tumors with primary radiotherapy and salvage surgery for recurrence. Salvage surgery was less successful in T2b compared to T1 and T2a tumors. In conclusion, after primary radiotherapy with salvage surgery the loco-regional control rate was high and very similar for glottic cancer T1 and T2a but less satisfactory for T2b tumors. Regional lymph node metastases were not a large problem in any of the subgroups. More effective radiotherapy with higher dose levels or an altered fractionation might increase the local control rate for T2 tumors with impaired cord mobility.

Abstract
Twenty-nine female patients with definite or classical rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 30 controls were investigated in order to evaluate oral symptoms, particularly xerostomia, and swallowing difficulties in RA by means of a questionnaire, physical examination, stimulated saliva secretion, labial salivary gland biopsy, esophageal manometry and laboratory blood tests. Xerostomia was reported by 6 patients (21%), compared with no-one in the control group. Four of these 6 patients had decreased stimulated saliva secretion, compared with 2 of the remaining 23 patients. Dysphagia was experienced by 8 patients (28%), compared with one control subject. Dysphagia was associated with disease severity. Esophageal manometry revealed a decrease of the amplitude of the peristaltic pressure complex in the proximal part of esophagus in the RA group, indicating dysfunction of the striated muscles. No correlation was found between dysphagia and esophageal manometry results.

Abstract
In a prospective, randomized, clinical trial, we compared a partial (180-200 degrees, Toupet) with a total fundoplication (360 degrees, Rossetti) in the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Seventy-one patients entered the trial; 33 were allocated to a partial fundoplication and 38 to a 360 degrees fundic wrap. Each patient was investigated prior to as well as 3 and/or 6 months after the operation, including an endoscopic and clinical assessment. Manometry was carried out via a triple lumen catheter and the pressure in the high pressure zone (HPZ) in the distal esophagus was measured as well as the length of the intraabdominal segment by a "station pull-through" technique. Acid exposure of the esophageal mucosa was evaluated by ambulatory 24-hour pH measurements. Acid exposure of the esophageal mucosa was "normalized" by the 2 operations. In addition, the length of the HPZ was increased to a "normal" level by both operations. The pressure of the HPZ was, however, "normalized" only in patients allocated to a Rossetti fundoplication, whereas patients operated on with a partial fundoplication had a significantly lower HPZ pressure (p less than 0.01). The clinical assessment revealed excellent results in both groups with no significant differences between the 2 operations except for a higher incidence of dysphagia at 3 months after a Rossetti fundoplication (p less than 0.01), which disappeared during the subsequent 3 months.

Abstract
The results of the therapy of 46 patients with glottic squamous cell cancer with a fixed vocal cord and without regional lymph nodes (glottic T3N0) are reported. Primary surgery (total laryngectomy) in combination with preoperative irradiation gave significantly higher loco-regional control rate and survival rate than surgery alone. Primary radiotherapy with doses of 70 Gy or more and adequate follow-up was found to be an alternative to preoperative radiation and laryngectomy. The result of different treatment modalities speaks in favour of primary irradiation allowing preservation of the larynx and a good voice function. In case of recurrence salvage surgery with total laryngectomy is preferred.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to find out if laryngeal obstruction could be assessed by measuring the glottic area using computed tomography (CT). Results from model studies were compared with those from twelve patients with laryngeal diseases. Determination of the orolaryngeal airway resistance (Rol) was used as a reference method. The correlation between airway resistance and area in both the model and among the patients was consistent, with a curvilinear relationship. The results indicate that it is possible to measure the area of a short obstruction by CT and that this area determines the degree of obstruction.

Abstract
Twenty-two consecutive patients with gastroesophageal reflux and erosive or ulcerative esophagitis entered a double-blind, randomized study comparing the effect of 20 mg omeprazole once daily with that of 150 mg ranitidine twice daily on esophageal acidity. Ambulatory 24-h esophageal pH measurements were performed within 1 month before inclusion and after 3 weeks of medication. Omeprazole significantly (p less than 0.05) reduced the number of reflux (pH less than 4) episodes, the number of refluxes lasting greater than 5 min, and the total reflux time. In contrast, ranitidine significantly reduced only the total reflux time. When the two treatment groups were compared, a significant difference in favor of omeprazole was found for daytime and total reflux values, except for the longest reflux and the number of reflux episodes lasting greater than 5 min. Substantial differences, also in favor of omeprazole, were found with regard to the effect on endoscopic healing of the esophagitis.

Abstract
Ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joints due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may cause upper airway obstruction by fixation of the vocal cords in the midline. In early stages, this condition usually results in minor symptoms which are easily overlooked. It may, however, very rapidly, e.g., in association with an upper respiratory tract infection, become life-threatening. It is essential to diagnose this condition early to avoid emergency situations. In 5 patients with classic RA and in one patient with juvenile RA severe laryngeal obstruction was operated on using a new simple technique consisting of a mobilization of the arytenoid cartilages and laterofixation of one of the vocal cords.

Abstract
Ten of 84 supraglottic carcinomas were treated by primary surgery, 32 by pre or post operative irradiation and 41 by primary irradiation and salvage surgery if recurrence developed. A comparison of the treatment results between these groups is not possible because of the lack of randomization. After follow up of 4.4 years (range 0,1-19, 7 y) 44% of the patients had died of their primary tumour or complications of treatment, 22.5% had died of intercurrent disease and 11% of other malignancies. The actuarial 5-year survival in the pre/postoperatively irradiated group was 75%, 100% and 67% for Stage I-III respectively. None of the 13 patients in Stage IV survived 5 years. The actuarial 5-year survival for the Stage I-IV irradiated patients was 91%. 67%, 82% and 42%. If possible the primary treatment should preserve the larynx, which is of great importance for the patient's quality of life. With proper selection supraglottic laryngectomy is possible for certain tumours of Stage I and II. For more advanced tumours and those not suitable for partial laryngectomy, well planned curative irradiation should be given with "reducing field" technique allow for salvage surgery for radioresistant tumours or recurrences. A total dose of 62-72 Gy 5 x 2 Gy per week for 6-8 weeks is needed depending on the stage of the tumour. Preoperative irradiation in clearly operable tumours can be given with a short course of 5 x 5 Gy over 5 days as the method of choice. In doubtfully operable tumours conventional preoperative irradiation with 30-40 Gy in 3-4 weeks is preferable.

Abstract
Therapeutic results in 287 glottic and subglottic carcinomas stage I-IV are reported. After primary irradiation and salvage surgery of recurrences the actuarial 10 year-NED probability for tumours with normal mobility of the vocal cords was 78%, for those with impaired mobility it was 60% and for tumours with complete fixation in stage III it was only 27%. The relative actuarial 10 year-survival probability of the same groups were 96%, 82% and 35%. Salvage surgery was performed in 48/51 patients (94%) with radioresistent tumours or recurrences and was successful in 37/48 (77%) of the patients. The larynx could be saved in 162/210 (77%) curative irradiated patients. Primary irradiation can be recommended as the method of choice in glottic carcinoma T 1 + 2. It can be proved also in T3-tumours as alternative to preoperative irradiation and laryngectomy if adequate follow-up is possible, otherwise combined preoperative irradiation and laryngectomy is preferred. Dose levels equivocal to CRE 19 are recommended for curative irradiation of T 1 + 2 N0-tumours. For more advanced tumours T3 + 4 and cervical metastases greater than 3 cm about 10% higher doses are needed. Different fractionation schedules for curative and preoperative irradiation are discussed. A highly significant dose-effect relation was found for dose levels above and below CRE 18.

Abstract
Using G-banding technique, the chromosomes were studied in four consecutive preparations from cultured material from a human adenoid cystic carcinoma of the submandibular gland. The results indicated that the carcinoma had originated with a normal diploid stemline, and that reciprocal translocations played a predominant role in development of an abnormal stemline. The propensity of developing variant cells, as well as an abnormal stemline, characterized by various types of reciprocal translocations, was found to be a property shared by two other types of salivary gland neoplasms studied by banding techniques, namely the pleomorphic adenoma and the acinic cell tumour. The tissue of origin is suggested to be the crucial determinant responsible for this important cytogenetical similarity between different types of salivary gland tumours.

Abstract
The importance of receptor stimulation by saliva for the elicitation of the swallowing reflex in man was investigated by testing the capacity for repeated dry swallowing at maximum frequency in two controlled series: one with stimulated and one with inhibited secretion of saliva. The swallowing response was recorded manometrically. A positive correlation was found between the secretion of saliva and the capacity was found between the secretion of saliva and the capacity for repeated dry swallowing. It was concluded that the swallowing reflex in man is dependent on an adequate stimulus. The importance of an intact saliva secretion specially in cases with swallowing dysfunction is pointed out.

Abstract
In dry swallowings repeated at maximum frequency, manometric recording on healthy volunteers showed that the swallowing intervals successively increased. After surface anaesthesia of the oro-pharynx the difficulties in dry swallowing increased. A corresponding increase did not occur in sham tests. The results show that the elicitation of swallowing is dependent upon oro-pharyngeal sensitivity and further that the reflexive elicitation of swallowing cannot instantly be fully replaced by other mechanisms.
