Long-term effect of estradiol implants on the female urinary tract during the climacteric

The incidence of lower urinary tract dysfunction increases during the climacteric, and there is embryological, biochemical and epidemiologic evidence to suggest that depleted estrogen status is at least partially responsible. Twelve climacteric women underwent full assessment before and 1 year after treatment with a 50 mg subcutaneous estradiol implant +5 mg norethisterone for 7 days per month. Assessment consisted of a symptoms questionnaire, midstream urine sample, uroflowmetry, videocystourethrography with pressure flow studies, and urethral pressure profilometry. Subjectively, only the symptom of nocturia significantly improved. There was no change in flow variables but there was a significant decrease in residual urine and the degree of bladder base descent. Cystometric capacity was slightly but significantly decreased, and two patients developed genuine stress incontinence whilst on treatment. Nonetheless, there was a significant improvement in urethral pressures at rest but not under stress. This effect was predominantly in the proximal urethra. These data do not support the contention that estrogen replacement therapy is beneficial for lower urinary tract dysfunction during the climacteric.     

两种剂量的7-甲异炔诺酮对60例绝经后妇女症状控制的比较

目的:探讨两种剂量的7-甲异炔诺酮(OrgOD14,利维爱)对绝经症状控制的比较。方法:60例绝经后妇女随机分为两组:①A组30例,每日口服7-甲异炔诺酮2.5mg。②B组30例,隔日口服7-甲异炔诺酮2.5mg,共6个月。观察服药前后的Kupperman评分变化及血雌二醇、促卵泡激素水平的改变。结果:两组服药后绝经症状明显改善,Kupperman评分明显降低(P<0.01),雌二醇水平显著上升(P<0.01),促卵泡激素水平明显下降(P<0.05),而两组之间差异无显著性。结论:7-甲异炔诺酮可有效地控制绝经症状,每日口服2.5mg并不比隔日口服2.5mg有较好的控制效果(除控制失眠外),故推荐隔日口服2.5mg7-甲异炔诺酮。     

Ethical aspects of withdrawing/withholding renal replacement therapies on patients in acute renal failure in an intensive care unit

The majority of patients being treated for acute renal failure in intensive care units have multiple medical problems. Accordingly, the withdrawal of renal replacement therapies should be considered as part of a general decision about whether to initiate or continue with treatment per se. Several guidelines on withdrawing and withholding therapy have been produced and some common themes emerge: concerns to avoid euthanasia, potential for benefit, patient consent (shared decision‐making), team consensus/decision‐making, and the provision of appropriate palliative care and resource implications. Each of these is considered in turn, although the word limit for this paper does not permit detailed exposition.

膝关节镜下膝后侧腔室联合手术入路的探讨

[目的]探讨在关节镜下膝关节后侧腔室联合手术入路的重要性和可操作性。[方法]经过前内侧、前外侧和股骨髁切迹以及后内侧、后外侧和后纵隔内切口联合入路分别入镜、入器械，进行膝关节后侧腔室的探查和手术操作。[结果]216例（239膝）应用联合入路探查和治疗，其中5例膝因关节僵硬操作失败；175例膝用于治疗后侧腔室疾病，膝关节后侧腔室手术视野显著改善，探查和手术操作完善，均达到手术目的。1例膝内侧隐神经不全损伤，没有腘后神经、腓总神经、腘后血管、交叉韧带等重要组织损伤。[结论]膝关节后侧腔室病变较多，是检查和治疗的重要部位，并非“技术盲区”。这种联合手术入路，手术风险低，具备可操作性，可以提高手术效率和质量，可作为膝关节镜下常规手术入路。     

旋转铰链型与单纯铰链型膝关节肿瘤假体置换的临床比较研究

目的 研究膝关节肿瘤保肢手术两种假体置换的术后效果及其比较.方法 随访我院1999年6月2006年3月治疗的72例膝关节肿瘤患者，失访9例，余63例中40例采用单纯铰链型假体置换(A组)，23例采用旋转铰链型假体置换（B组）63例随访时间9月~8年平均3年9个月，按MSTS膝关节评分标准、ambulation scores、关节屈伸度及感染、复发、手术时间进行评估。结果：A组：手术时间2.6625±0.3362h，复发5例，转移死亡3例，感染2例； B组：手术时间2.5722±0.2878h，复发3例，转移死亡2例，感染2例 。B组1例术后发生旋转轴聚乙烯轴套断裂关节脱位，再次手术更换轴套后未再出现并发症，两组无假体松动病例。两组手术时间无统计学意义；去除复发及转移死亡病例后,剩50例, A组32例， MSTS评分平均23.0/30分。 B组18例，MSTS评分平均23.7/30分。两组MSTS评分p>0.05，无统计学意义；ambulation scores各分项总分均p<0.05，有统计学意义．两组关节伸直时为0°或接近0°,屈曲度A组119.3750±17.49°，B组125.0000±15.34°，无统计学意义（p>0.05）。结论： 1. 按ambulation scores标准，在步行舒适度和快速步行方面，旋转型铰链假体置换组与单纯铰链型假体置换比较有统计学意义；2.而MSTS标准则未能体现出两组术后功能方面的统计学意义，因此ambulation scores较MSTS评分更灵敏，更适合对膝关节保肢术后功能评价；3.两组在手术时间、术后临床屈伸功能及并发症方面，如复发、感染，未见显著差别，单纯铰链型不会出现脱位，而可旋转铰链型假体有脱位的可能。     

Results of non-operative treatment following hip fracture compared to surgical intervention

We followed all consecutive hip fracture patients admitted between 2004 and 2006, identified cases in which the intention was to treat non-operative and compared their functional outcome and mortality with a similar cohort treated surgically over the same period. We recorded length of hospital stay, place of discharge, pre and post-fracture mobility and residence, 30 days and 1 year mortality, re-admission due to same fracture and delayed surgery. The group treated surgically was recruited and matched for age, gender, pre and post-fracture mobility, mental confusion and independence. 25 patients were treated non-operative. 22 patients treated surgically over the same time period matched the patient characteristics of the non-operative arm. The mean hospital stay was 13 days in both groups. There were 4 extra-capsular fractures (3 displaced) and 21 intra-capsular fractures (5 displaced) in the non-operative arm and 11 extra-capsular fractures and 9 intra-capsular fractures in the surgically treated arm. 4 patients from the non-operative treatment group underwent late surgery because of persisting hip pain 20 days-2 months after the index event (2 cannulated screws, 1 hemiarthroplasty, 1 total hip arthroplasty). 11 patients in the surgical treatment arm underwent dynamic screw fixation, 1 had cannulated screw, 1 had total hip replacement and 7 had hemiarthroplasty. 14 of the non-operative treated patients were mobile independently or with aid before fracture but only 9 patients retained their pre-fracture mobility following treatment, compared to 16 patients pre-fracture and 11 patients post-fracture after surgery. 16 patients treated non-operative were living independently prior to injury but only 7 went back to their own residence. Of the operatively treated patients 14 patients were living independently and 10 patients went back to their previous residence. 1 month and 1 year mortality in the non-operative treated group was 4/21 and 7/21 respectively compared to 1/20 and 5/20 in the operative fixation group. There was no statistically significant difference in mobility, residence or mortality between the two groups (Fisher exact test, p > 0.05). Non-operative management after hip fracture is suitable for medically unfit patients and does not result in statistically significant difference in functional outcome or mortality compared to patients treated surgically.
