Botulinum toxin and neuromotor rehabilitation: An integrated approach to idiopathic cervical dystonia.

Currently, the best treatment option for idiopathic cervical dystonia (ICD) is injection of botulinum toxin (BTX) into the affected muscles, whereas rehabilitative approaches have given disappointing results. We evaluated whether the association of an ad hoc rehabilitative program may improve the clinical efficacy of BTX treatment in a single-center, cross-over, controlled study. Forty patients with ICD were randomly assigned to two different treatment groups: (1) BTX type A (BTX-A) plus a specific program of physical therapy (BTX-PT) or (2) BTX-A alone (BTX-0). Patients in the BTX-PT group showed a longer duration of the clinical benefit (118.8 vs. 99.1 days) and needed a lower dose of BTX at reinjection (284.5 vs. 325.5 units). In addition, they showed more marked reductions in their disability in activities of daily living (-9.7 vs. -4.85 points) and subjective pain (-13.35 vs. 6.95 points) scores. Association of BTX-A therapy with a specific program of physical therapy may improve ICD treatment outcome.     

颈髓血流障碍与脊髓型颈椎病发病机制的实验研究

目的观察脊髓前动脉阻断对颈髓血供、功能的影响及其病理学变化,研究脊髓型颈椎病的发病机制。方法以家兔为实验模型,阻断C2段脊髓前动脉,在术后6h、24h、72h采用改良Tarlov法对动物行为学评级以及检测运动诱发电位的变化,应用激光多普勒血流测定仪测定颈髓血流灌注量,并观察兔颈髓组织细胞形态学、相关免疫组化的变化。结果术后各时相点神经功能减退,血流量下降明显,神经元骨架结构紊乱,细胞器破坏,出现急性缺血性改变。结论脊髓前动脉血流障碍可导致颈髓缺血性病变,引起脊髓的梗死,是脊髓型颈椎病发生不可忽视的重要因素,对其治疗应注意改善局部血液循环。     

改进微波幅射器探头治疗宫颈糜烂疗效观察

目的：探讨改进的微波辐射器探头治疗宫颈糜烂的疗效。方法：将微波辐射器探头由双直线形、双针形、单针形等点线状改进成为“单舌形”和“双舌形”两种弧形平面探头，用于治疗宫颈糜烂。分析1999-2002年450例宫颈糜烂治疗资料，其中300例经微波治疗(A组)，150例经C02—激光治疗(B组)，随访1—3个月。结果：两组治疗后3个月内A组治愈率明显高于B组(P＜0．005)，总有效率A组明显高于B组(P＜0．025)。两组术中、术后不良反应比较：术中宫颈创面出血A组明显低于B组(P＜0．005)，术中腹痛、脱痂期出血量、术后局部感染率方面两组相似。结论：所改进的微波辐射器探头治疗宫颈糜烂治愈率高，操作安全，术后并发症少，医患乐于接受。     

先天性手畸形的矫正失误分析

目的：提高对先天性手畸形的手术成功率。方法：应用显微外科技术，采用各类皮瓣移植术、松解术、植皮术、切除矫形术等对先天性手畸形进行矫正。结果：对先天性手畸形组成的认识失误，对先天性手畸形分类的认识失误，对先天性手畸形的手术失误。结论：并非每一个畸形手都需要手术治疗。没有确实的术前方案不能治疗手畸形。如果手术会进一步丧失功能比手术得不到肯定的功能改善危害更大。     

急性颈脊髓损伤并发抗利尿激素分泌异常综合征的诊断和治疗

目的探讨急性颈脊髓损伤并发抗利尿激素分泌异常综合征的临床特点、诊断和治疗方法。方法回顾性分析8例急性颈脊髓损伤并发抗利尿激素分泌异常综合征患者的临床资料。脊髓损伤分级:FrankelA级5例,B级3例;损伤节段:C4～53例,C5～63例,C6～72例。8例于受伤后3～7d行骨折椎体次全切除椎管减压、自体髂骨植骨融合及颈椎前路钢板内固定术。3例于术前,5例于术后3～7d发生低钠血症,所有患者低钠血症发生后第2～10d确诊SIADH,根据血钠水平,采用控制每日水量、补钠进行治疗。结果7例经10～21d治愈,血钠平均恢复至138(135～142)mmol/L,血浆渗透压、尿渗透压、尿钠均正常;1例C4骨折、FrankelA级者,因截瘫平面上升并发呼吸衰竭死亡。结论急性颈脊髓损伤并发抗利尿激素分泌异常综合征的发病机制与治疗措施不同于普通低钠血症,早期正确的诊治能降低患者病残率和死亡率,严格控制入液量及补钠为主要治疗方法。

Computer tomography in children and adolescents with suspected malformation of the petrous portion of the temporal bone

Purpose: To demonstrate HRCT findings and their therapeutic relevance in suspected congenital hearing disorders. Material and Methods: It was checked in 96 young patients if HRCT findings of the temporal bone could explain functional findings. Furthermore, the therapeutic consequences were noted. Results: Normal CT and normal functional findings were obtained in 49 temporal bones (TB). In conductive hearing loss (41 TB), dysplasias of the conducting apparatus (37 TB) and inflammatory changes (3 TB) were found. Combined hearing loss (18 TB) was clarified completely or partially in half the cases. There were 22 dysplasias of the inner ear, 3 dysplasias of the middle ear, 1 abandoned examination (2 TB), and 55 normal CT findings in senorineural hearing disorders (82 TB). 1 retardate had a malformation of the inner ear and, contralaterally, inflammatory middle ear. In cases of vestibular disorders (24 TB), 14 malformations of the inner ear were detected. An indication for an operation was given in 23 TB. In 22 TB, it was contraindicated. The CT was one preliminary examination to a cochlea implant in 19 patients. The therapy was carried on with hearing devices in the other patients. Conclusion: HRCT is an important method in diagnosis and therapeutic planning of suspected malformations of the temporal bone.      

不稳定型下颈椎损伤的手术治疗(附56例分析)

目的分析手术治疗下颈椎不稳定性损伤的适应证、手术方法及疗效。方法2001年1月～2003年1月,手术治疗下颈椎不稳定性损伤共56例。参照Aebi及White等人的手术适应证,以前路手术为主;对于难复性颈椎脱位或不伴椎间盘损伤者,行后路施术或前后联合入路手术;稳定性评分大于8分的前后柱损伤者,行前后联合入路手术。以Frankel评分系统评价神经功能恢复情况,以损伤节段Cobb角及水平移位来评价复位情况,采用Bohlman的X线片标准判定植骨融合情况。结果Frankel评分术前平均为2.3分,术后3.1分;按Bohlman标准3个月时植骨融合率为80%,6个月时为100%。术前Cobb角平均为8°,术后为1.5°,水平移位由术前的平均3.5mm减小到0.5mm。结论手术治疗下颈椎不稳定性损伤具有改善神经功能、恢复颈椎序列、恢复椎间高度及生理曲度、可早日下地活动等优点,手术病例及方法的选择应根据患者是否有致压因素及颈椎稳定性等综合考虑。
