目的 研究模拟舰船两种剂量水平磁场复合噪声、高温对机体联合作用的特点。方法 采用有交互作用的三因素二水平的正交试验设计方法及方差分析法，按正交表L8（2^7）的要求安排8种复合暴露剂量组合，分别将兔和大鼠分为8个复合暴露组和8个对照组。结果 兔球结膜毛细血管管径、大鼠肝和脾脏HSP70的分析结果显示出磁场是对其影响的主因素（均为P〈0．01），其次是高温（均为P〈0．05）,大鼠下丘脑AVP和大鼠脑组织HSP70的分析结果显示出磁场是对其影响的主因素（均为P〈0．05）。兔血浆内皮素的分析结果显示出磁场与噪声交互作用所对应的F值有非常显著性意义（P〈0．01），磁场与噪声、高温三者之间交互作用所对应的F值也有显著性意义（P〈0．05）。结论 磁场是对上述指标影响的主因素，而高温也是重要因素；磁场与噪声有交互作用，磁场与噪声、高温三者之间也有交互作用；应该重视舰船环境因素对舰船人员的复合作用。     

肝占位病变扩散加权成像的图像质量评价

目的探讨肝脏扩散加权成像(DWI)时,b值与图像质量的相关性。方法对20例正常志愿者及60例行肝占位性病变患者行DWI并测量信噪比(SNR)及对比噪声比(CNR)。结果b为100s/mm2、300s/mm2时DWI图像的SNR平均值>5,b为600s/mm2、1100s/mm2时,SNR<5;随着b值的增大,血流灌注对表观扩散系数(ADC)影响逐渐减少,而图像伪影增多,CNR逐渐降低,囊性病变较实性病变的CNR降低明显。结论进行DWI扫描时选取b值为300~600s/mm2时最为合适。     

丘脑底核电刺激治疗苍白球毁损术后的帕金森病(12例报告)

目的探讨帕金森病(Parkinson's disease,PD)苍白球腹后部毁损术(posteroventral pallidotomy,PVP)后再行丘脑底核(subthalamic nucleus,STN)脑深部电刺激术(deep brain stimulation,DBS)的可行性、术中电生理学特点和治疗结果。方法应用MR和微电极记录技术进行靶点定位,对12例单侧PVP术后症状再次加重的PD患者实施STN-DBS手术,其中4例行毁损灶对侧的STN-DBS,8例行双侧STN-DBS。结果STN-DBS对本组12例PD患者症状有不同程度的改善,双侧STN-DBS的效果尤为明显,术后3个月的UPDRS运动及ADL评分较术前明显减少(P<0．05或0．01),美多巴的用量明显减少(P<0．01),无明显术后并发症。术中电生理记录显示毁损灶同侧的细胞放电明显低于正常情况。结论曾行单侧PVP的PD患者如面临二次手术,可以选择DBS手术,以双侧STN的DBS效果最好,可减少药物用量。     

Lumbar Spinal Cord Stimulation Can Improve Muscle Strength and Gait Independently of the Analgesic Effect: A Case Report

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is widely used for pain relief in patients with failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS), and muscle weakness is a common finding in patients with chronic pain. We present here a single case report of a 47‐year‐old woman, who, after SCS for FBSS, had continuous improvement in lower leg muscle strength and gait, but only transient and minimal pain relief. To the authors’ knowledge, this is only the second published case report of significant improvement in “motor” function, independent of the analgesic effect following SCS in FBSS. If SCS, in fact, does improve muscle strength, new strategies for the management of patients with chronic pain might be opened up. Further studies are needed to verify this hypothesis.     

正常人及脑肿瘤患者听觉性中英文语言刺激的fMRI研究

目的应用BOLD-MfRI研究正常人及脑肿瘤患者听觉性中英文语言皮层定位并探讨其对脑肿瘤的临床应用价值。方法应用MarconiEclipse1.5T超导型磁共振机,30例受试者,行听觉性中、英文语言刺激的BOLD-MfRI,以定位正常人和脑肿瘤患者的语言皮层。结果正常人听觉性中英文语言任务激活区域均以左侧大脑半球为主,主要有双侧颞横回、Wernicke区、Broca区和SMA区。中文语言任务刺激时脑区激活面积和程度比英文语言任务大,但英文语言任务时可见更明显的Broca区和角回激活。累及功能皮层的脑肿瘤患者患侧半球可见残留部分功能激活区,但激活区移位,分布弥散,激活程度及范围较正常人略增高。未累及功能皮层者功能区定位与正常人大致相同。结论BOLD-MfRI是一种有效而无创的功能皮层定位方法,有利于脑肿瘤的精确定位诊断并指导临床治疗。     

Bilateral Implantation of Centromedian‐Parafascicularis Complex and GPi: A New Combination of Unconventional Targets for Deep Brain Stimulation in Severe Parkinson Disease

Objectives. Traditional deep brain stimulation (DBS) at the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has proved to be efficacious on core Parkinsonian symptoms. However, very disabling l ‐dopa–induced abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) and axial signs are slightly affected, suggesting that we target less conventional targets. Our candidates for DBS were the globus pallidus internus (GPi) plus the intralaminar thalamic complex (Pf or CM), given its extensive functional links with basal ganglia nuclei. Materials and Methods. The routine utilization of our innovative stereotactic apparatus allows us to implant, at the same time, both the CM‐Pf complex together with the GPi in six Parkinson disease patients. Both intraoperative and postoperative neurophysiologic assessments helped us recognize functional subregions while optimizing implantation of electrodes. Unified Parkinson disease rating scale (UPDRS) motor scores, AIMs, and freezing were carefully blindly evaluated for each condition. Results. A significant amelioration of UPDRS scores was achieved by simultaneous activation of both targets. CM‐Pf activation was only slightly effective in reducing rigidity and akinesia, but more efficacious on freezing. Not surprisingly, AIMs were peculiarly decreased by the activation of the permanent electro‐catheter in the posteroventral GPi. Conclusions. These findings confirm that, in selected patients, it is conceivable to target structures other than the conventional STN in order to maximize clinical benefit.     

Ex vivo identification of atherosclerotic plaque calcification by a 31P solid-state magnetic resonance imaging technique.

Calcified tissue is a common component of atherosclerotic plaques, and occurs most often in mature plaques. The process of calcification is a poorly understood risk factor that may contribute to a plaque's vulnerability to sudden rupture. In this study a solid-state imaging sequence, termed single-point imaging (SPI), was used to observe calcification directly in ex vivo atherosclerotic plaques. Standards were used to validate the ability of (31)P SPI to detect and differentiate calcification from crystalline cholesterol, phospholipids, and other plaque components. After suitable experimental parameters were found, human carotid specimens obtained by endarterectomy were imaged ex vivo by (31)P solid-state imaging and standard (1)H methods. In contrast to (1)H imaging methods, (31)P imaging detected only the calcification in the plaque.     

叩击式骨应力刺激仪促进闭合性胫骨干骨折愈合

目的观察叩击式骨应力刺激仪对闭合性胫骨干骨折愈合的促进作用。方法120例闭合性胫骨干骨折患者,随机分为应力刺激仪治疗组(治疗组61例)和对照组(59例)。治疗组每天刺激仪治疗3次,每次治疗30min,每次间隔3h;对照组仅作复位和小腿管型石膏固定。记录两组患者骨折临床愈合时间、X线片上骨折线处灰度值的变化和胫骨Johner-Wruh评分。结果治疗组临床愈合时间较对照组短(55·57d±10·09dvs78·21d±13·46d,P<0·01),骨折愈合前后X线片上骨折线处灰度值变化较对照组大(1·209±0·128vs1·117±0·245,P<0·05),治疗组Johner-Wruh评分优良率96·72%。结论叩击式骨应力刺激仪可明显加快胫骨干骨折的愈合,促进骨折处局部骨的形成。     

Cerebral autoregulation is preserved in multiple system atrophy: A transcranial Doppler study.

Patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) present large changes in blood pressure (BP) due to autonomic disturbances. We analyzed how this change may influence dynamic cerebral autoregulation (DCA). Simultaneous recordings of arterial BP (Finapres) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) blood flow velocity (BFV) (transcranial Doppler) were performed in 10 patients with MSA (61 +/- 12 yr of age) and 12 healthy volunteers (61 +/- 11 yr of age): cerebral BFV response to oscillations in mean BP was studied in the supine position by cross-spectral analysis of mean BP and mean MCA BFV. The DCA was also studied during the decrease in BP the first seconds when standing up from a sitting position by the assessment of the cerebrovascular resistance index (CR; mean BP/mean MCA BFV ratio). The MCA BFV/BP cross-spectral analysis showed a phase for the mid-frequency band (0.07-0.2 Hz) significantly larger in MSA, suggesting more active autoregulation in response to larger changes in BP. Changes in CR reflecting the rate of autoregulation, when standing did not differ between the two groups. These data suggest that dynamic cerebral autoregulation is preserved in MSA.     

鼻咽癌颈静脉孔侵犯的影像学表现及临床分析

[目的]探讨鼻咽癌颈静脉孔侵犯的临床和影像学特征及临床意义。[方法]回顾性分析8例初治和4例复发鼻咽癌伴颈静脉孔侵犯者的临床表现、CT及MRI特征。[结果]12例中,5例表现为Ⅸ￣Ⅺ颅神经均麻痹的颈静脉孔综合征,7例仅表现为Ⅸ颅神经麻痹。12例,有10例合并舌下神经管受累,3例有一侧的胸锁乳突肌及斜方肌萎缩,2例有一侧舌肌萎缩。CT及MRI显示鼻咽癌颈静脉孔侵犯主要有3种途径,分别为:①鼻咽病变通过茎突后间隙直接蔓延(4例,包括1例茎突后间隙复发);②转移淋巴结直接侵犯(4例,其中2例为咽后淋巴结转移,2例为颈动脉鞘淋巴结复发);③颈静脉孔骨性结构直接破坏(4例,其中1例为单纯颈静脉孔复发)。[结论]鼻咽癌可通过直接蔓延、咽后和颈动脉鞘区转移淋巴结侵犯及骨质直接破坏侵犯颈静脉孔,临床上出现Ⅸ￣Ⅺ颅神经一支或多支均麻痹。CT和MRI,尤其是MRI对于病变的诊断、病变范围的确定和放射治疗计划的制定有非常大的作用。
