A preliminary investigation into the long-term injury consequences reported by retired baseball players

Seventy-five retired baseball players participated in a survey (37.8% response rate) in order to establish the long-term consequences of injuries sustained during their playing careers. Respondents had a mean age of 55.8 (+/-11.4) years with a mean age of 41.3 (+/-11.4) years at retirement from play. The mean overall rate of injury suffered per player/playing career was 5.6 (+/-7.1). 54.7% of respondents experienced a major injury (i.e. injury resulting in 5 or more consecutive weeks absence from training and play) with a mean major injury per player/playing career of 1.5 (+/-2.2). The rate for significant injuries (i.e. injury resulting in more than 1 week but less than 5 weeks absence from training and play) was 4.1 (+/-6.5) per player/playing career. Catchers had significantly less injuries than all other positions (p=0.027). 18.7% of all respondents reported suffering from arthritis, 24% from restricted joint mobility and 4% from chronically stiff fingers; all of these conditions were associated with their participation in baseball based on medical examination by their GP or medical specialist. 29.3% of respondents indicated that they had incurred additional medical costs and 12% reported significant loss of income associated with their injuries. Some injuries were severe enough that they resulted in extended stays in hospital producing costs carried by the health care system.     

整形外科原则和技术在面部软组织创伤急诊处理中的应用

目的：应用整形外科原则和技术急诊修复面部软组织创伤。方法：在面部软组织创伤急诊清创术中，遵循整形外科原则，用皮肤磨削、无张力缝合、植皮、皮瓣转移等技术进行修复。结果：460例患者中，术后1～2年中随访356例患者，均无瘢痕增生和错位畸形等并发症。结论：面部软组织创伤用整形外科原则和技术修复，能避免患者术后错位畸形，减少瘢痕。     

黄芪对ESWL致兔肾损伤后缺氧诱导因子-1α表达的影响

目的探讨缺氧诱导因子-1α（HIF-1α）在ESWL致肾脏损伤中的作用及黄芪是否通过调节HIF-1α的表达而发挥对肾脏的保护作用。方法45只家兔随机分为对照组、ESWL损伤组和黄芪治疗组,每组15只,除对照组外,所有动物接受ESWL处理（18kV,1 500次）。黄芪治疗组家兔于冲击前3d至后2d,每天注射黄芪注射液2.0g/kg。2周后处死家兔,取肾脏HE染色观察肾组织形态学改变,免疫组织化学染色观察HIF-1α在肾脏中的表达。结果ESWL处理后肾小管上皮细胞肿胀、脱落,小管内可见大量管型,肾间质大量炎细胞浸润;黄芪治疗组以上病变显著减轻。ESWL损伤组HIF-1α显著表达于肾小管上皮细胞及间质,黄芪能够明显抑制HIF-1α的表达。结论HIF-1α参与了ESWL对肾脏的损伤,黄芪可能通过抑制HIF-1α的表达发挥对肾脏的保护作用。     

谷氨酰胺对肝门阻断后肠道损伤的影响及其意义

目的：探讨谷氨酰胺（Gln）对肝门阻断后肠道损伤的影响及其意义.方法：将雄性Wistar大鼠,随机分为三组：假手术组（A组）、对照组（B组）和实验组（C组）.采用Pringle法进行肝门阻断,持续35min,在肝门阻断前C组大鼠腹腔注射Gln.分别于肝门阻断前及再灌注后2、4、24 h,每组各选取10只大鼠,测定肠道组织谷胱甘肽（GSH）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、丙二醛（MDA）的水平,检测血清TNF-α水平以及门静脉血浆内毒素水平.结果：与A组相比,再灌注后B组肠组织中MDA水平增高（P＜0.05）,而GSH及SOD水平下降（P＜0.05）,TNF-α及内毒素水平明显增高（P＜0.05）.再灌注后2h及4h,C组肠道GSH水平均明显高于B组（P＜0.05）.与B组相比,再灌注后C组肠道组织SOD活性明显增高,而MDA水平明显降低（P＜0.05）;血清TNF-α及内毒素水平均明显降低（P＜0.05）.结论：肝门阻断可以造成肠道屏障的破坏;而Gln对肠道屏障具有保护作用,并将减少内毒素易位、炎性因子的释放.     

无骨折脱位型颈脊髓损伤再手术原因分析

目的:探讨无骨折脱位型颈脊髓损伤患者再次手术治疗的原因,总结经验教训。方法:对1993年1月～2003年2月间13例经再次手术治疗的无骨折脱位型颈脊髓损伤患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析,根据其影像学表现,分析致伤的病理基础与形成因素的特点。结果:患者再手术的原因主要有:(1)前次手术入路选择不当(8例);(2)前次手术中脊髓减压不彻底(5例)。再手术后均获随访(平均43个月),神经功能得到了一定的改善(JOA评分改善率平均为40.6%)。结论:手术入路选择不当和减压不彻底是无骨折脱位型颈脊髓损伤再手术的主要原因,再次手术治疗应针对此类损伤致伤特点,选择合理的手术入路,并矫正前次手术不当之处,可获得一定的疗效。     

急性下壁心肌梗死时缓慢性窦房结功能紊乱的临床表现与治疗

Ectopic Ureterocele with a Horseshoe Kidney in an Adult

A rare adult case of a left ectopic ureterocele associated with a duplex horseshoe kidney is reported. To the best of our knowledge, only one pediatric case of horseshoe kidney with an ectopic ureterocele has been reported. The present case was successfully treated by ureteropyelostomy, upper ureterectomy and unroofing of the ureterocele. The patient is currently followed with excretory urograms and renograms.     

Injuries in national karate competitions in Finland

The injuries sustained in 6 national karate competitions in Finland were studied by analyzing data from 450 bouts during the season 1991–1992. The analyzed data included a personal interview with each competitor and detailed information on the bouts and any injuries sustained. The overall probability of injury was 0.28 per bout. These injuries occurred to 16% of the 647 competitors. Occurrence of injury was greatest among adult men, which was pronounced in final bouts. Of all injuries diagnosed by the physicians for the competitions, more than 95% were localized to the head. The majority of these were minor injuries. Experienced competitors were more injury-prone than beginners. On the other hand, none of the background factors studied significantly affected the probability of injuring one's opponent. Most injuries and penalties, as well as full scores, were caused by direct punches to the head. From these findings it was concluded that a protective guard for the head together with modification of competition rules could significantly reduce injuries.
