- OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the diverticular disease (DD) on function and on postoperative complications of the colonic J-pouch (CJP) with pouch-anal anastomosis. METHODS: Patients who underwent a CJP between December 1990 and August 2001, were retrospectively reviewed. The presence of DD in the CJP was assessed on pouchogram prior to ileostomy closure. A questionnaire designed to evaluate the degree of continence (total incontinence score (IS): 0 = worst, 20 = best) and pouch evacuation (total evacuation score (ES): 0 = worst, 28 = best) was used for comparison between patients with DD and those without DD (NDD). RESULTS: Sixty-six patients (47 males; 19 females) with a median age of 68 years (range 28-87 years) were included. The median follow-up period was 22 months (range 2-106 months). Twenty-four patients comprised the DD group and 42 were in the NDD group. The two groups were comparable for age, gender and time from ileostomy closure; all patients with postoperative chemoradiation therapy were in the NDD group. The total ES and IS total did not significantly differ between the two groups with a P-value of 0.11 and 0.09 respectively. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the total incidence of pouch complications between the two groups (3 strictures, 1 leak, 1 fistula in the NDD group vs. 1 pelvic sepsis in the DD group; P = 0.4). CONCLUSIONS: The presence of DD in a CJP does not seem to impact pouch function or the postoperative complication rate.

Synthetic, spectroscopic, and X-ray crystallographic studies of [1,2,7,8]tetrathiacyclododecino[4,3-b : 5,6-b': 10,9-b": 11,12-b''']tetraindoles

- Two conformationally different [1,2,7,8]tetrathiacyclododecino[4,3-b:5,6-b':10,9-b":11,12-b''']tetraind oles 9a and 9b have been isolated in good yields, and the existence of a third conformer 9c in solution was demonstrated by mass spectrometry and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The interconversions of the tetraindoles 9a-c have also been studied. The conformation of 9b was confirmed by X-ray crystallography, while the conformations of 9a and 9b were assigned on the basis of spectroscopic data, and were also supported by molecular modelling studies. In addition, the elusive dithiin 3 was isolated and the structure was proven by X-ray crystallography.
