Abstract
This paper reports a series of 14 cases of digital replantation in children who had had a total of 17 digits traumatically amputated. All but two digits survived, for an overall success rate of 88%. The length of followβup was between 3 and 14 years (average 8 years). Sensory recovery of all digits was satisfactory. The mean growth rate of replanted digits relative to contralateral digits was 86%. Twelve cases had an excellent result, and one case had a good result. Digital replantation in children is recommended when feasible.

Bax and Bc12 are functionally antagonistic proteins which control apoptosis, whose expression in human tumours could be of prognostic value. We evaluated Bax and Bcl2 expression in 239 breast carcinomas (99 N0, 140 N1/2) with long term follow-up (median 79 months, range 11-140) in relation to clinic
