Conus ependymoma with holocord syringohydromyelia and syringobulbia.

We report a 24-year-old woman with an intramedullary conus ependymoma associated with holocord syringohydromyelia and syringobulbia. The tumor was removed and surgery for decompression of the syringohydromyelia was not considered at the first operation. In the follow-up examinations, MRI showed significant and steady improvement of syringohydromyelia. Symptoms associated with syringohydromyelia also disappeared. The cause of syringohydromyelia accompanying intradural spinal cord tumors appears to be either direct blockade of the central canal or secondary interruption of the central canal flow by compression of the perimedullary cerebrospinal fluid flow. As removal of the mass often corrects both these likely causes of the syringohydromyelia, no additional treatment for the drainage of the hydromyelia cavity syrinx is usually necessary.     

美罗培南治疗慢性盆腔炎的临床研究

目的观察美罗培南治疗慢性盆腔炎的临床疗效和安全性。方法将90例盆腔炎患者随机分为1．5g治疗组45例（A组）和头孢米诺3．0g对照组45例（B组），每天分3次使用，疗程均为7～14d。比较两组临床疗效、细菌学改变及不良反应情况。结果A、B组临床有效率分别为97．78％、95．56％，二者比较差异无统讣学意义（P〉0．05）。结论美罗培南治疗慢性盆腔炎安全、有效。     

云南省宁蒗县不明原因猝死病例调查研究

目的探讨云南省宁蒗县不明原因猝死病例的死因。方法对云南省宁蒗县不明原因猝死病例进行现场流行病学调查,采集样本进行病理学、病毒学等相关检验及分析研究。结果猝死病例的临床表现类似阿-斯综合征发作,心电图示窦性心动过速、Q-T间期延长、ST段改变、室颤,病理检验主要以心肌间质水肿、弥漫性炎细胞浸润、心肌纤维断裂、心肌灶性坏死以及其他脏器炎细胞浸润等改变为主;同发病例的临床表现亦类似阿-斯综合征发作,心电图示Q-T间期延长、室扑,粪便标本病毒分离阴性,但是从中检测到了埃可病毒11型(ECHO11)的基因片段。结论猝死病例及同发病例与既往报道的云南地方性爆发性心肌炎类似,心肌炎性改变可能诱发快速心律失常,引起阿-斯综合征发作,最后导致发病甚至猝死。     

乙型肝炎治疗研究进展

乙性肝炎病毒感染所导致的慢性肝炎是我国的一个大问题,给患者及社会带来了很大负担。慢性乙型肝炎现行治疗主要依靠干扰素、核苷类似物等,其存在高耐药、低耐受以及不良反应等问题。新的、更为安全有效的治疗药物及方法亟待发展。最近,科学家们发现人体内的TRIM22分子对抑制乙肝病毒的复制起到重要作用,为乙肝的治疗及有效药物的研发开辟了新的道路。     

不同地区钉螺对日本血吸虫易感性的实验研究

目的 观察不同地区钉螺对云南大理日本血吸虫的易感性，为今后教学科研所需尾蚴提供依据。方法 采自国内3省的钉螺以钉螺与钉螺40：1的比例进行群体感染，观察3省钉螺对大理地区日本血吸虫的易感性。结果 在相同条件下，不同地区钉螺对云南大理日本血吸虫易感性不同，湖北、安徽、云南的感染率分别为42．0％、28．6％9．5％，各地钉螺差异有显著性。结论 3省钉螺对云南血吸虫的感染率以湖北最高，云南最低。     

Pattern-reversal electroretinograms and visual evoked potentials in branch retinal vein occlusion

We recorded pattern electroretinograms and visual evoked potentials in a group of selected patients with unilateral uncomplicated branch retinal vein occlusion. To document the effects of preexisting risk factors, patients were divided into three groups: diabetes mellitus, hypertension with hyperlipidemia and no systemic disease. The transient and steady-state pattern electroretinogram and visual evoked potential amplitudes were significantly reduced and visual evoked potential peak times were delayed relative to the fellow eyes and agematched normal subjects. There was a second amplitude reduction relative to the other patient groups in both the affected and fellow eyes of the diabetes mellitus group, which was indicative of an additive effect of diabetes mellitus.Abbreviations BRVO branch retinal vein occlusion     

A new method for the correction of secondary unilateral cleft lip nose

Summary In 1982, Dibbell described a procedure to correct this distortion by rotating and advancing the nostril medially and superiorly. We used this method in our department for several years, but as Dibbell himself experienced, we didn't always obtain satisfactory results. Like many authors, I agree that the best approach for proper correction of the secondary unilateral cleft lip nose deformity is the external approach using transcolumellar incisions, because the lower lateral cartilage exposure is inadequate with Dibbell's method. I added the transcolumellar incision similar to Bardach's to solve this problem. In this paper, this combination technique will be presented and contrasted with Dibbell's and Bardach's techniques.     

Various types of suprameatal spines and depressions in the human temporal bone

Since it covers the lateral wall of the mastoid air system, the suprameatal triangle is of importance to otologic surgeons during mastoidectomy. Because of this clinical importance, topographic anatomy of the suprameatal spine and depression was studied on Anatolian skulls. In all, 363 male and 231 female skulls were studied. The most prevalent type of suprameatal spine resembled a crest and was found in both sexes on the right (77.6%) and left (80%) sides. The absence of a suprameatal depression was significantly higher in females (right 9.1%; left 8.7%) than in males (right 1.7%; left 2.5%). Suprameatal depressions were mostly shallow in female subjects, but were mostly observed in males to be at a medium depth or deep. Received: 5 January 1998 / Accepted: 19 March 1998
