[Successful completion of left total hip arthroplasty by inhibitor neutralization therapy in a hemophilia B patient with high responding inhibitor].

Major surgery in hemophilia patients has been facilitated by the development of coagulation concentrates. However, it is still difficult to manage bleeding during major surgery in patients with inhibitors to FVIII/IX. In addition, there have been few reports of major surgery in hemophilia B with high responding inhibitors.

Analysis of organ selectivity in the metastatic behavior of Dunn osteosarcoma.

In the current study, the authors established a novel metastatic model to analyze organ selective metastasis by osteosarcoma, using a murine cell line, Dunn osteosarcoma. The lung, liver, kidney, and spleen were resected from syngeneic donor mice, and a tissue fragment of the respective organs was transplanted subcutaneously into a recipient mouse. Two weeks later, tumor cells were injected intravenously and the formation of metastatic deposits in the ectopic transplants was examined.
