Radiofrequency Procedures

Abstract:   Radiofrequency is a minimally invasive, target-selective technique that has been in clinical use for more than 25 years and has demonstrated success at reducing pain in several chronic pain conditions, including trigeminal neuralgia, chronic low back pain, postherpetic neuralgia, and complex regional pain syndrome. However, the success of radiofrequency in chronic pain has not been adequately reproduced in good-quality, randomized controlled trials, and its use in the management of neuropathic pain is under some debate. In addition, conventional radiofrequency occasionally leads to worsening and even new onset of neuropathic pain. Nevertheless, clinical experience suggests that radiofrequency may be a useful tool in the overall management of refractory neuropathic pain. Pulsed radiofrequency in particular is a minimally destructive procedure that may offer new opportunities and a broader perspective for therapy with radiofrequency.     

影响出国维和待命士兵应付方式的相关因素

目的 了解参加维和部队士兵在出国前的心理应付方式，探讨应激性心理障碍与应付方式的关系。方法 采用应付方式问卷量表（CSQ），艾森克（EPQ）个性问卷量表和生活事件量表，Zung焦虑自评量表（SAS）、抑郁自评量表（SDS），对维和待命士兵进行测评，分组进行对照分析。结果 年龄与“自责”、“幻想”因子呈负相关，文化程度与“求助”因子呈负相关，军龄与“解决问题”呈正相关，与“自责”呈负相关；正性事件分值与“求助”、“合理化”因子呈正相关，负性事件分值与“自责”、“退避”呈正相关，生活事件总值与“自责”、“退避”呈正相关。结论 士兵应付方式与年龄、军龄、文化程度、性格具有相关性，焦虑抑郁组应付方式和对照组有较大差异。在士兵中进行应付方式的教育和训练，有益于平战时的心理健康。     

彩超对人工心脏起搏的血液动力学研究

目的　本文采用彩色多普勒超声心动图研究了心脏起搏前、后的血液动力学变化 ,以评价不同起搏模式血液动力学效应。方法　对 32例植入人工心脏起搏器的患者 ,采用 M型、二维及多普勒超声心动图检测了心室按需起搏 (VVI)不伴室房逆传 (A组 )和伴室房逆传 (B组 )及房室顺序起搏 (AVP) (C组 )的左心结构、左室的泵血功能、左室收缩及舒张功能指标。结果　 1 .心室起搏 (VP)不伴室房逆传和房室顺序起搏(AVP)组起搏后的心输出量 (CO)明显增加 (P<0 .0 5〉,而 VP伴室房逆传组则 CO增加不明显 (P>0 .0 5 )。心搏量 (SV)各组均呈下降趋势 ,VP伴室房逆传者下降更明显。但起搏后三组间比较无显著差异 (P>0 .0 5 ) ;2 .VP后左室的收缩及舒张功能均有受损 ,而 AVP后主要损害左室的舒张功能 ,对左室收缩功能影响不明显 ;3.VP伴室房逆传者 ,起搏后血液动力学效应在三组间最差。结论　无论 VP还是 AVP起搏后由于心率的增加均可使CO增加 ,但对左室的功能均有不同程度的损害 ,VP伴室房逆传者最为明显 ,AVP损害程度三组间最轻。因此 ,AVP也并非真正的生理起搏器。临床上提倡埋植更接进生理状态的起搏器 (多部位心脏起搏 ) ,以保持良好的心功能状态

Measurement of axial edge lift of rigid corneal lenses*

A simple but reliable method was used to measure the axial edge lift at the total diameter over a range of back optic zone radii of several proprietary designs of rigid gas-permeable corneal lens. One of these was found to have a constant axial edge lift construction.     

Simultaneous genetic analysis of longitudinal means and covariance structure in the simplex model using twin data

A longitudinal model based on the simplex model is presented to analyze simultaneously means and covariance structure using univariate longitudinal twin data. The objective of the model is to decompose the mean trend into components which can be attributed to those genetic and environmental factors which give rise to phenotypic individual differences and a component of unknown constitution which does not involve individual differences. Illustrations are given using simulated data and repeatedly measured weight obtained in a sample of 82 female twin pairs on six occasions.     

Radiofrequency Current Ablation of Porcine Right Atrium: Increased Lesion Size with Bipolar Two Catheter Technique Compared to Unipolar Application In Vitro and In Vivo

Interruption of atrial flutter and fibrillation by RF catheter ablation may be favored by large, elongated lesions. We administered RF current in unipolar and bipolar mode in porcine right atrium. Bipolar ablation was performed between the tip electrodes of two serially coupled catheters. With 4-mm tip electrodes in vitro, lesion length increased from a mean (SD) of 7.9 (1.2) mm at 3 mm-interelectrode distance (IED) to 13.3 (3.3) mm at 9-mm IED, but decreased at 12-mm IED due to nonconfluent lesions (P < 0.0001), With 4 mm distal electrodes and 8 mm IED, bipolar lesions were 65% longer than corresponding unipolar ablations. Switching to bipolar mode increased the lesion length more than increasing electrode tip length to 6 mm in unipolar mode. Power and temperature controlled ablation created equally sized lesions. Twelve anesthetized pigs were randomized to unipolar or two catheter bipolar temperature controlled ablation of the right atrial free wall. Bipolar ablation created confluent lesions with endocardial length × width of 13.5 (5.8) × 7.3 (3.7) mm, unipolar ablation 6.4 (2.8) × 4.6 (1.4) mm (P < 0.001 when comparing length and P = 0.013 for lesion width). The atrial lesions in both groups were transmural and extended into hilar lung lesions with maximal depth of 3.0 (1.1) and 2.6 (1.0) mm, respectively (P = 0.44). Five bipolarly and four unipolarly ablated pigs developed right diaphragmal paresis. We conclude that bipolar ablation may be preferable in situations where large, elongated lesions are favorable. The two catheter technique is feasible in porcine right atrium. Both bipolar and unipolar ablation of the porcine right atrial free wall may frequently be complicated by injury to the phrenic nerve and adjacent lung tissue.
