普萘洛尔联合其他治疗措施治疗婴幼儿血管瘤有效率的网状Meta分析

目的:采用网状Meta分析方法,将普萘洛尔联合其他治疗与各对照治疗措施进行对比。方法:以“普萘洛尔”,“血管瘤”为关键词检索CNKI、VIP、万方数据;以“propranolol”“hemangioma”为关键词检索Cochrane Library、Embase、pubmed。检索期限为建库至2019年6月1日。采用STATA14.0软件Network程序包进行数据分析。结果:共纳入18篇文献,涉及8项治疗措施,共纳入1469例血管瘤患者。网状Meta分析结果显示:4种联合治疗方式与单纯口服普萘洛尔相比疗效均优于单纯口服普萘洛尔治疗。普萘洛尔联合注射平阳霉素、普萘洛尔联合外用噻吗洛尔、普萘洛尔联合敷贴器的有效率均优于对应的注射平阳霉素、外用噻吗洛尔及敷贴器。各治疗措施的有效性排序为:普萘洛尔联合敷贴器>普萘洛尔联合外用噻吗洛尔>普萘洛尔联合口服糖皮质激素>普萘洛尔联合注射平阳霉素>敷贴器照射>外用噻吗洛尔>口服普萘洛尔>注射平阳霉素。结论:对于婴幼儿血管瘤的治疗,普萘洛尔联合治疗措施疗效均优于单纯的口服普萘洛尔治疗,其中普萘洛尔联合敷贴器的疗效最佳。     

Étude exploratoire de la santé musculo-squelettique du rachis d’étudiants en ostéopathie

BackgroundDuring their training, students in osteopathy regularly undergo spinal manipulation exercises. This exposes the students’ spine to unskilled gestures performed by their colleagues learning spinal manipulation. Discomfort, muscle soreness or moderate pain following spinal manipulations lasting two or three days are commonly reported. In addition, some students may have ongoing spinal musculoskeletal disease (SMSD) during their studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of SMSDs and their maximum intensity in a population of osteopathy students and to determine whether individual differences exist.MethodAn exploratory cross-sectional study took place over three years. Data were collected by means of a self-administrated standardised questionnaire screening for MSD: the Nordic questionnaire.ResultsThere were 733 exploitable questionnaires, giving an average response rate of 91.5%. Average prevalence of SMSD was 98.4% during the last 12 months. Average maximum intensity perceived was 6/10 and 45% of students experienced an intense SMSD (scored between 7 and 10/10). Variation of the maximum intensity of SMSD between “before osteopathy studies” and “the last 12 months” was 1.2/10. This variation was influenced by the number of days students were manipulated during a week (p < 0.0001). On average, students underwent manipulation three days a week.ConclusionThis study confirms the important prevalence of SMSD among osteopathy students. This result led us to carry out a qualitative study for exploring students’ conceptions in health and spinal manipulative practices.     

脊柱化脓性感染动物模型的建立及应用进展

手术部位感染是脊柱手术后常见且非常严重的并发症,严重影响患者的身体健康。尽管手术操作无菌细致,及时给予适当的全身抗生素,但手术部位感染率仍然很高[1-2]。据报道,我国脊柱手术感染的风险从0.5%~7.8%不等[3-4]。糖尿病、肥胖、高血压等疾病显著增加脊柱术后感染,感染后治疗的费用可达10多万美元[5],大大增加了患者的经济负担。     

Predictive factors of positive online patient ratings of spine surgeons

BACKGROUND

Online physician rating websites are increasingly used by patients to evaluate their doctors. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate factors associated with better spine surgeon ratings.

Are patient-reported outcome measures biased by method of follow-up? Evaluating paper-based and digital follow-up after lumbar fusion surgery

Background Context

Long-term follow-up of patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) is essential in both modern spinal care and research. Lack of time and staff are commonly reported barriers to implementing long-term follow-up of PROM. Automated and digital follow-up systems for PROM collection are seeing widespread use, yet their validity and comparative effectiveness have never been evaluated.

Posterior thoracolumbar fusion in a patient with Kleefstra Syndrome related scoliosis: The first case reported

Spine deformities could be considered a possible manifestation of the childhood hypotonia, typical feature of Kleefstra Syndrome (KS). There is a paucity of literature describing posterior spinal fusion in the Kleefstra syndrome patient. For patients who develop severe scoliotic curve, bracing is often ineffective and surgery is recommended. We report the first corrective surgery for scoliosis in one patient with KS.We describe a case of 13-year-old female with severe developmental scoliosis in KS. Preoperative examination showed a thoracolumbar scoliosis with left convex thoracic curve (T3-T9, 97°) and right convex thoracolumbar curve (T9-L3, 88°). Posterior correction, pedicle screw fixation and bone graft fusion T3-L5 was performed. Postoperatively, the thoracic curve was corrected to 33° while the thoracolumbar one to 26° and better standing posture was obtained. Six month follow-up images showed no loosening of the hardware. The patient is still in our follow-up program.Scoliosis seems to be a rare evenience of the severe hypotonia of patients with KS. We report the first case of scoliosis in KS treated successfully with surgery. Corrective surgery for spinal deformity, such as scoliosis, could help in posture and improve the quality of life especially in complicated patients such as syndromic ones.
