Abstract
Background: In poultry industry, hatcheries play a vital role in connecting the poultry production chain and are expected in the productive performance, with an impact on company profits. The use of in ovo feeding support poultry embryonic development and offers the production efficiency and welfare of commercial poultry. Methods: This study investigated the impact of in ovo administration of normal saline, Zinc oxide nanoparticles and Vitamin C on hatchability, chick growth and redox status in Kadaknath hatchlings. Zinc oxide nanostructures were synthesized by chemical method and characterized for size determination. A total of 150 fertile eggs of the Kadaknath poultry breed were divided into five groups (T0 to T4) and treated with in ovo administration of 200 μl each of normal saline, zinc oxide nanoparticles (5 and 10 ppm) and Vitamin C respectively on the 18th day of incubation through air sac into amniotic fluid. Result: Rod shaped nanostructures ranging from 45 to 98 nm were synthesized and showed sharp peak positioned at 436.59 cm-1. Zinc nano composite 5 ppm and vitamin C administration had significantly (p less than 0.05) improved hatchability, hatch weight, chick weight and egg weight ratio and antioxidant status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a genetic disorder characterized by re-occurring swelling episodes called "attacks," usually in the limbs, face, airways, and intestinal tract. New prophylactic therapies have reduced the frequency of these attacks. This study describes results from a literature review and clinician interviews assessing patient HAE symptom experiences and timing, and then evaluates whether existing patient-reported outcome (PRO) tools adequately reflect this experience. METHODS A targeted literature review as well as interviews with key opinion leaders (KOLs), were conducted to capture information about the patient experience and their symptoms. An assessment of various PROs was then conducted to determine how well they each covered HAE symptoms and impacts. RESULTS Nineteen HAE symptoms were identified. KOLs reported that patients on prophylactic therapy experienced some symptoms indicating an attack was imminent, but then never experienced an attack. The comparison of the different PROs found that the Hereditary Angioedema Patient-Reported Outcome was the instrument that most thoroughly examined the symptoms of patients with HAE. CONCLUSIONS Given the introduction of new prophylactic therapies, further research is needed to determine the effect of being attack-free for longer periods of time on health-related quality of life.

Abstract
Background Long-term prophylaxis with subcutaneous C1-inhibitor (C1-INH[SC]; HAEGARDA, CSL Behring)
in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1-INH deficiency (C1-INH-HAE) was evaluated in an open-label extension follow-up study to the international, double-blind, placebo-controlled COMPACT study. The current analysis evaluated patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data from 126 patients in the open-label extension study randomized to treatment with C1-INH(SC) 40 IU/kg (n = 63) or 60 IU/kg (n = 63) twice weekly for 52 weeks. HRQoL was evaluated at the beginning of the open-label study and at various time points using the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI), and the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication. The disease-specific Angioedema Quality of Life Questionnaire (AE-QoL) and HAE quality of life questionnaire (HAE-QoL) instruments were administered in a subset of patients. Statistical significance was determined by change-from-baseline 95% confidence intervals (CIs) excluding zero. No adjustment for multiplicity was done.
Results Mean baseline EQ-5D scores (Health State Value, 0.90; Visual Analog Scale, 81.32) were slightly higher (better) than United States population norms (0.825, 80.0, respectively) and mean HADS anxiety (5.48) and depression (2.88) scores were within “normal” range (0–7). Yet, patients using C1-INH(SC) 60 IU/kg demonstrated significant improvement from baseline to end-of-study on the EQ-5D Health State Value (mean change [95% CI], 0.07 [0.01, 0.12] and Visual Analog Scale (7.45 [3.29, 11.62]). In the C1-INH(SC) 60 IU/kg group, there were significant improvements in the HADS anxiety scale (mean change [95% CI], − 1.23 [− 2.08, − 0.38]), HADS depression scale (− 0.95 [− 1.57, − 0.34]), and WPAI-assessed presenteeism (mean change [95% CI], − 23.33% [− 34.86, − 11.81]), work productivity loss (− 26.68% [− 39.92, − 13.44]), and activity impairment (− 16.14% [− 26.36, − 5.91]). Clinically important improvements were achieved in ≥ 25% of patients for all domains except WPAI-assessed absenteeism (which was very low at baseline). Mean AE-QoL total score by visit ranged from 13.39 to 17.89 (scale 0–100; lower scores = less impairment). Mean HAE-QoL global scores at each visit (115.7–122.3) were close to the maximum (best) possible score of 135. Conclusions Long-term C1-INH(SC) replacement therapy in patients with C1-INH-HAE leads to significant and sustained improvements in multiple measures of HRQoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with normal C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) (HAEnCI) is associated with skin swellings, abdominal attacks, and the risk of asphyxia due to upper airway obstruction. Several different gene mutations linked to the HAE phenotype have been identified. Our aim was to qualitatively assess and describe the clinical differentiators of these genetically identified HAEnCI types. To achieve this, we performed a systematic literature review of patients with angioedema symptoms and a genetically confirmed diagnosis of an HAEnCI type. RESULTS A systematic literature search, conducted in March 2020, returned 132 records, 43 of which describe patients with symptoms of angioedema and a genetically confirmed diagnosis of an HAEnCI type. Overall, this included 602 patient cases from 220 families. HAEnCI with a mutation in the coagulation factor XII gene (F12) (HAE-FXII) was diagnosed in 446 patients from 185 families (male:female ratio = 1:10). Estrogens (oral contraceptives, hormonal replacement therapy, and pregnancy) negatively impacted the course of disease in most female patients (252 of 277). Asphyxia occurred in 2 of 446 patients. On-demand and/or long-term prophylaxis treatment included C1-INH concentrates, icatibant, progestins, and tranexamic acid. HAEnCI with a specific mutation in the plasminogen gene (HAE-PLG) was diagnosed in 146 patients from 33 families (male:female ratio = 1:3). Estrogens had a negative influence on the course of disease in the minority of female patients (14 of 62). Tongue swelling was an important clinical feature. Asphyxia occurred in 3 of 146 patients. On-demand treatment with icatibant and C1-INH concentrate and long-term prophylaxis with progestins and tranexamic acid were effective. HAEnCI with a specific mutation in the angiopoietin-1 gene (HAE-ANGPT1) was diagnosed in 4 patients from 1 family and HAEnCI with a specific mutation in the kininogen-1 gene (HAE-KNG1) in 6 patients from 1 family. CONCLUSIONS A number of clinical differentiators for the different types of HAEnCI have been identified which may support clinicians to narrow down the correct diagnosis of HAEnCI prior to genetic testing and thereby guide appropriate treatment and management decisions. However, confirmation of the causative gene mutation by genetic testing will always be required.

Abstract
Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1 inhibitor (C1INH) deficiency is characterized by recurrent attacks of edema of the skin and mucosal tissues. Symptoms usually present during childhood (mean age at first attack, 10 years). Earlier symptom onset may predict a more severe disease course. Subcutaneous (SC) C1INH is indicated for routine prophylaxis to prevent HAE attacks in adolescents and adults. We analyzed the long-term efficacy of C1INH (SC) in subjects ≤17 years old treated in an open-label extension (OLE) of the pivotal phase III Clinical Study for Optimal Management of Preventing Angioedema with Low-Volume Subcutaneous C1 Inhibitor Replacement Therapy (COMPACT) trial. Methods: Eligible subjects (age ≥6 years, with ≥4 attacks over 2 consecutive months before entry into the OLE or placebo-controlled COMPACT trial) were treated with C1INH (SC) 40 or 60 IU/kg twice weekly for 52–140 weeks. Subgroup analyses by age (≤17 vs. >17 years) were performed for key efficacy endpoints. Results: Ten subjects were ≤17 years old [mean (range) age, 13.3 (8–16) years, 3 subjects <12 years old; exposure range, 51–133 weeks]. All 10 pediatric subjects experienced ≥50% reduction (mean, 93%) in number of attacks versus the prestudy period, with a 97% reduction in the median number of attacks/month (0.11). All subjects had <1 attack/4-week period and 4 had <1 attack/year (1 subject was attack free). No subject discontinued treatment due to a treatment-related adverse event. Conclusions: Data from pediatric subjects treated with C1INH (SC) for up to 2.55 years and adult subjects revealed similar efficacy. C1INH (SC) is effective and well tolerated as long-term prophylaxis in children, adolescents, and adults with HAE.

Abstract
Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is caused by a SERPING1 gene defect resulting in decreased (Type I) or dysfunctional (Type II) C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH). The prevalence of autoimmune diseases (ADs) in patients with HAE appears to be higher than the general population. A systematic literature review was conducted to examine the co-occurrence between HAE and ADs. Methods PubMed/EMBASE were searched for English-language reviews, case reports, observational studies, retrospective studies, and randomized controlled trials up to 04/15/2018 (04/15/2015-04/15/2018 for EMBASE) that mentioned patients with HAE Type I or II and comorbid ADs. Non-human or in vitro studies and publications of C1-INH deficiency secondary to lymphoproliferative disorders or angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors were excluded. Results Of the 2880 records screened, 76 met the eligibility criteria and 155 individual occurrences of co-occurring HAE and AD were mentioned. The most common ADs were systemic lupus erythematosus (30 mentions), thyroid disease (21 mentions), and glomerulonephritis (16 mentions). When ADs were grouped by MedDRA v21.0 High Level Terms, the most common were: Lupus Erythematosus and Associated Conditions, n = 52; Endocrine Autoimmune Disorders, n = 21; Gastrointestinal Inflammatory Conditions, n = 16; Glomerulonephritis and Nephrotic Syndrome, n = 16; Rheumatoid Arthritis and Associated Conditions, n = 11; Eye, Salivary Gland and Connective Tissue Disorders, n = 10; and Immune and Associated Conditions Not Elsewhere Classified, n = 5. Conclusions Based on literature reports, systemic lupus erythematosus is the most common AD co-occurring with HAE Type I and II. Cause and effect for co-occurring HAE and AD has not been clinically established but could be related to lack of sufficient C1-INH function.

Abstract
Background: Autoimmune diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US (estimated prevalence: 4.5%) and often associated with dysregulation of the complement system (innate and adaptive immune response). The classic complement pathway is regulated by the C1-inhibitor (C1-INH), which binds to C1 to prevent its activation. Hereditary angioedema with C1-INH deficiency (C1-INH-HAE) may be linked to increased autoimmunity due to secondary deficiency of C1r, C1s, and other components. Aims: It was hypothesized that increased regulation of the complement system via C1-INH replacement therapy may reduce autoimmunity in patients with C1-INH-HAE. The coexisting autoimmune disease claims frequency was compared between C1-INH-HAE patients treated with plasma-derived (pd) C1-INH vs “other (non-C1-INH)” treatments. Methods: C1-INH-HAE patients were identified in the IMS Health PharMetrics Plus claims database between January 2012 and December 2015 by International Classification of Diseases 9/10 diagnosis code, and classified based on the use of pdC1-INH or “other (non-C1-INH)” treatments for HAE. Index date was the first claim for HAE treatment. For patients using pdC1-INH, the first fill was the index date, even if other HAE medications were used previously. Frequency of visit claims for autoimmune conditions was identified by diagnostic codes (primary or secondary). Mean visits per patient per year by treatment group, gender, and age (<50 vs ≥50 years) were summarized for autoimmune conditions. Results: Of 589 patients with HAE identified (69% female, 38% aged ≥50 years), 276 (729 patient-years) received pdC1-INH and 313 (860 patient-years) received “other (non-C1-INH)” treatments. In this cohort, 12.9% of patients had ≥1 visit associated with a coexisting autoimmune disorder – the most common were lupus, alopecia, rheumatoid arthritis, sicca (Sjogren) syndrome, and connective tissue disorders. The mean (95% CI) number of visits for autoimmune diagnoses per patient per year was numerically lower for patients treated with pdC1-INH compared to those receiving “other (non-C1-INH)” treatments (1.37 [0.56–2.19] vs 2.28 [0.83–3.73]). Conclusions: Based on these findings, it is concluded that treatment of C1-INH-HAE with pdC1-INH may have a positive impact on coexisting autoimmune conditions by normalizing complement. Further research is needed on this important issue. There may be implications for healthcare resource utilization among patients with HAE and coexisting autoimmune disorders.

Abstract
Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a debilitating disorder resulting from C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency. In the COMPACT phase 3 study the prophylactic use of a subcutaneous C1 inhibitor (C1-INH [SC], HAEGARDA®, CSL Behring) twice weekly significantly reduced the frequency of acute edema attacks. Analysis of treatment effects by subgroups, onset of effect, and other exploratory analysis have not been reported. Methods This is a post hoc exploratory analysis on data from the randomized, placebo-controlled COMPACT study. 90 patients with C1-INH-HAE were randomized to 1 of 4 treatment sequences: C1-INH (SC) 40 or 60 IU/kg of body weight twice weekly for 16 weeks, preceded or followed by a placebo period. The pre-specified primary efficacy endpoint was the time-normalized number of HAE attacks, and pre-specified secondary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with a certain treatment response (≥ 50% reduction on C1-INH (SC) versus placebo in the time-normalized number of attacks) and the time-normalized number of use of rescue medication. Pre-specified exploratory endpoints included severity of attacks, alone and combined with rescue medication use. Post hoc analyses included exploration of onset of effect and clinical assessment of patients with < 50% of response. Results Subgroup findings by various patient characteristics showed a consistent preventive effect of C1-INH (SC). In a post hoc analysis of attacks, the onset of the preventive effect within the first 2 weeks after treatment initiation in COMPACT showed that 10/43 patients (23%) experienced attacks of any severity with 60 IU/kg versus 34/42 patients (81%) with placebo. The need for rescue medication was tenfold lower with 60 IU/kg (35 treated attacks) versus placebo (358 treated attacks). A qualitative analysis of the 4 patients treated with 60 IU/kg and with < 50% reduction of attacks demonstrated a reduction in severity of attacks, rescue medication use, and symptom days which was considered a clinically meaningful treatment effect.

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the utilisation of the residual feed intake (RFI) as a feed efficiency selection tool and its relationship with methane emissions. Eighteen Murrah buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) heifers were fed ad libitum with total mixed ration (TMR) for 120 days. Based on linear regression models involving dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG) and mid-test metabolic body size (MBW0.75 ), heifers were assigned into low and high RFI groups. The RFI varied from -0.09 to +0.12 kg DM/day with average RFI of -0.05 and 0.05 kg DM/day in low and high RFI heifers respectively. Low RFI heifers ate 11.6% less DM each day, yet average daily gain (ADG) and feed utilisation were comparable among low and high RFI groups. Low RFI heifers required significantly (p < .05) less metabolizable energy for maintenance (MEm) compared to high RFI heifers. Apparent nutrient digestibility showed non-significant difference (p > .05) among low and high RFI groups. Although the nitrogen balance was similar among heifers of low and high RFI groups, nitrogen metabolism was significantly higher (p > .05) in high RFI heifers. Comparison of data from heifers exhibiting the low (n = 9) and high (n = 9) RFI showed that the low RFI heifers have lower enteric methane production and methane losses than high RFI heifers. In conclusion, results of this study revealed that selection of more efficient buffalo heifers has multiple benefits, such as decreased feed intake and less emission of methane.

Abstract
Hypertension affects approximately 60 million people in the United States. Recent studies have demonstrated that hypertension may produce progressive changes in the CNS. The present study is focused on reports in the literature that hypertension may significantly alter neurotransmitter systems, particularly dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE). To address this, DA and norepinephrine (NE) receptor binding was assessed in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of 15 male rhesus monkeys using on-the-slide in vitro assays for the DA1, NE alpha1 and NE alpha2 receptors as well as for the DA and NE uptake transporters. Eight monkeys underwent surgical coarctation of the mid-thoracic aorta which produced sustained, untreated hypertension as defined by a systolic pressure above 150 mm Hg. Compared with normotensive controls, chronic, untreated hypertension produced a significant decrease in DA1 and NE alpha1 receptor binding and an increase in DA uptake (DAU) receptor binding in the prefrontal cortex. While the mechanisms by which untreated hypertension alters DA and NE receptors is not known, the use of this non-human primate model should provide the means to uncover neurobiological changes that occur with untreated hypertension.

Abstract
Male B6C3HF1 mice were infused with human 51Cr-labeled DBBF (bis 3,5-dibromosalicyl fumarate) crosslinked stroma-free hemoglobin (SFH). In the first hour following SFH infusion, 11.2% of the infused radioactivity was found in the skin, 11.4% in muscle, 9.1% in the skeleton, and 5% in the liver. Twenty-four hours after infusion, 15.4% of the radioactivity was found in the skin, 10.3%, in the muscle, 16.6% in the skeleton, and 6.7% in the liver. The circulation and distribution of 51Cr-labeled DBBF-SFH were compared with levels of 51Cr labeled plasma, 51Cr in saline, 59Fe labeled plasma, and 125I albumin. The radioactivity in the blood was similar for 51Cr-DBBF-SFH, 51Cr-plasma, and 59Fe-plasma. During the 24-hour post-infusion period, extravascular distribution of the 51Cr-saline, 51Cr-plasma, and 125I albumin within the organs was similar to that of 51Cr-DBBF-SFH, with the highest levels being in skin, muscle, skeleton and liver, and no increase in the levels in the lung or spleen. The distribution of 59Fe compared to that of 51Cr-DBBF, 51Cr-plasma, 51Cr-saline, and 125I albumin can be explained by the fact that 59Fe is utilized in the production of new red blood cells.

Abstract
Ten adult cynomolgus monkeys were studied as a non-human primate model of hypertensive cerebrovascular disease. Seven were made hypertensive by surgical coarctation of the aorta and three served as unoperated controls. After survival periods of 8-30 months, the brains were serially sectioned and surveyed for neuropathological changes. The most conspicuous change was minute areas of microinfarction in the white and gray matter. The lesions were of irregular shape with an average maximum diameter of less than 0.5 mm. They were slightly larger in the gray than in the white matter and appeared to be of different ages. Their area of predilection was the white matter of the forebrain, with smaller numbers in the cerebral cortex and scattered lesions elsewhere in the forebrain, brain stem and cerebellum. These microinfarcts did not correspond to usually described lesions in the human brain in hypertension or in other animal models of hypertensive cerebrovascular disease. We suggest that they represent an early change in the natural history of hypertensive neuropathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is substantial clinical, pathological, and experimental evidence that hypertension aggravates atherosclerosis of the extracranial vessels. The present study assesses the effects of hypertension on the development of cerebral atherosclerosis in nonhuman primates fed an atherogenic diet. METHODS The extent and severity of cerebral atherosclerosis were evaluated morphologically, morphometrically, and biochemically in atherosclerotic monkeys with and without hypertension. Atherosclerosis was induced by feeding a hypercholesterolemic diet for 12 months; hypertension was produced by surgical coarctation of the thoracic aorta. RESULTS At autopsy, gross atherosclerotic lesions of the major cerebral arteries were observed in 15 of 16 atherosclerotic monkeys with hypertension compared with 5 of 16 atherosclerotic animals without hypertension. In the hypertensive-atherosclerotic group, 38.5% of the vessels examined showed gross involvement compared with only 3.4% of the vessels involved in the atherosclerotic group (P < .001). The lesions in the atherosclerotic group were generally mild, whereas those in the hypertensive-atherosclerotic group were severe and resulted in significant luminal narrowing and occlusion of vessels (P < .001). The small branches of the cerebral arteries also showed severe disease with luminal obstruction in the hypertensive-atherosclerotic group. The extent and severity of cerebral atherosclerosis were significantly related to the severity of the hypertension (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Hypertension is an important factor in cerebral atherosclerosis because of its accelerating effect on the disease. Nonhuman primate models may be useful in clarifying the role of hypertension and atherosclerosis in cerebral vascular disease.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is marked by an overt inflammatory infiltrate, with enhanced recruitment of monocytes/macrophages observed in both human and experimental atherosclerosis. We previously determined that monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) accounts for virtually all of the chemotactic activity produced by vascular (aortic) smooth muscle cells in culture. We now report that arteries from a primate model of atherosclerosis with dietary-induced hypercholesterolemia exhibit increased levels of MCP-1 mRNA expression in vivo, whereas their normal counterparts demonstrate minimal MCP-1 expression. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization clearly indicate that the expression of MCP-1 protein and mRNA is in the smooth muscle cells of the medial layer of the artery and in monocyte-like and smooth muscle-like cells found in the overlying intimal lesion. These studies indicate that one of the responses to dietary hypercholesterolemia is the expression of MCP-1 by vascular smooth muscle cells. This expression, when augmented with other cellular and molecular factors, could significantly contribute to the recruitment of monocytes/macrophages to the vessel wall.

Abstract
Male B6C3HF1 mice were infused with 51Cr-labeled DBBF (bis 3,5-dibromosalicyl fumarate) crosslinked stroma-free hemoglobin (SFH). The intravascular halftime (T50) of the DBBF-SFH, determined from plasma hemoglobin levels, was 0.5 hours in the first 10 minutes and 4.3 hours during the next 50 minutes. At 24 hours, less than 5% of the DBBF-SFH remained. Elution of 51Cr was reflected in a lower T50 determined from the radioactivity levels: during the first 10 minutes the T50 was 0.3 hours; in the next 50 minutes it was 1 hour. The radioactivity sequestered in each organ in the first hour following DBBF-SFH infusion was as follows: 11.2% of the infused radioactivity was in the skin, 11.4% in muscle, 9.1% in the skeleton, and 5% in the liver. After 24 hours, the percentages in skin, muscle, skeleton and liver were 15.4, 10.3, 16.6 and 6.7% respectively. The percentage of infused radioactivity in the gastrointestinal tract and kidney at 1 hour and 24 hours ranged from 3.5 to 5.5%. Less than 0.4% was found in the spleen and lung. At 24 hours, 25% of the radioactivity was recovered in urine and 3% in feces.

Abstract
A relation between hypertension, atherosclerosis, and stroke is well documented in humans. We report a similar relation in two hypertensive cynomolgus monkeys with severe cerebral atherosclerosis. In our primate model hypertension is induced by surgical coarctation of the aorta. These monkeys, when fed an atherogenic diet, develop severe cerebrovascular atherosclerosis. In this setting two monkeys developed spontaneous cerebral hemispheric strokes that occurred during treatment of hypertension. Since the strokes were topographically related to severe atherosclerotic narrowing of cerebral arteries and occurred without evidence of either thrombosis or embolization, they are presumed to be related to disturbances of blood flow. In both humans and animals cerebral perfusion is autoregulated to a constant flow over a wide range of mean arterial blood pressures. In hypertension both the upper and lower limits of autoregulation are increased. With treatment of hypertension readaptation to more normal levels is reported to be inconsistent and slow to develop. It is therefore postulated that the strokes in these two monkeys were due to hypoperfusion as a result of the combination of pharmacologic reduction in blood pressure and severe occlusive atherosclerosis.

Abstract
In a series of animal experiments to provoke atherosclerosis, angiographic evaluation of the cerebral vessels was obtained. The angiographic evaluation of cerebral changes and correlation with the pathological alterations known to occur illustrate the value of this technique in long term analysis of induced atherosclerosis in the experimental animal. Control groups, high cholesterol diet groups, and induced hypertensive groups with and without a high cholesterol diet were evaluated by serial angiographic techniques. Examples of angiographic changes are demonstrated and have proven of considerable value in following the progress of the vascular changes.

Abstract
The role of hypertension in cardiovascular disease was studied in the hypertensive coarcted monkey during the feeding of an atherogenic and nonatherogenic diet. During the 15-month period of observation, half of the hypertensive coarcted monkeys developed cardiovascular disease which included heart failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and sudden death. There were no cardiovascular complications in the control normotensive monkeys except for one cholesterol-fed animal. The incidence of ischemic heart disease and sudden cardiac death was higher in monkeys with both hypertension and hypercholesterolemia than in those with hypertension or hypercholesterolemia alone. Postmortem studies revealed that the former monkeys had both hypertensive and atherosclerotic heart disease, whereas the monkeys with hypertension or hypercholesterolemia had either hypertensive or atherosclerotic heart disease. Hypertensive heart disease was characterized not only by hypertrophy of the left ventricle but also by focal myocardial degeneration and fibrosis and by focal thickening and narrowing of the small coronary arteries, particularly the sinus node artery and the atrioventricular node artery. The finding of transmural myocardial infarction in two monkeys with patient coronary arteries suggests a possible role of coronary artery spasm in ischemic heart disease in hypertension. The cerebral vascular complications of hypertension included hypertensive encephalopathy, transient "ischemic" attacks, and hemorrhagic stroke. The complications were associated with severe hypertension and with hypertensive vascular disease or hypertensive and atherosclerotic vascular disease of the cerebral arteries.

Abstract
The surgical treatment of cyanotic heart disease in the adult poses some technical difficulties in correcting severe anatomical deformities and compromised physiological states over a wide range of conditions. Various abnormalities and their surgical management have been reviewed. Forty-six patients over the age of 18 years have been operated with 10 operative deaths. Of the survivors, 63% have had excellent clinical result; 69.5% of the total group had an excellent or good result following surgery. It is concluded that the age of the patient is not a bar to the complete repair of these deformities, and all cases of adult cyanotic heart disease should be investigated with a view to surgical correction.

Abstract
Three cases of aortic regurgitation acquired as the result of bacterial endocarditis complicating Fallot's tetralogy and pulmonary atresia have been described. One also had mitral regurgitation from a 'jet lesion' of the anterior cusp of the mitral valve. Surgical treatment of all abnormalities with aortic valve repair or replacement was undertaken in each patient and was successful in two. Difficulties in diagnosis and surgical treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Wheatley, D. J., Prusty, S., and Ross, D. N. (1974).Thorax, 29, 617-623. Reconstruction of right ventricular outflow with a valved homograft conduit. Since 1966 a conduit of homograft ascending aorta with its valve has been used for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow. This technique has been applied to 123 operations for pulmonary autograft replacement of the aortic valve, 48 operations for correction of severe Fallot's tetralogy or pulmonary atresia, five operations for truncus arteriosus, two operations for transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect, and six operations for tricuspid atresia or common ventricle. Ease of insertion and satisfactory function have encouraged us in the use of this form of conduit.
