术中即时扩张皮肤面积增加与压力和时间的量效关系

目的探讨术中即时扩张皮肤面积增加与压力、时间的量效关系。方法用6头小型猪，压力参数分别为15、20、25kPa，时间参数为60、90min，配对组成6个实验组，1个对照组，36个实验部位。在每只猪背部皮下均匀埋置100ml圆形扩张器6个，术中即时扩张皮肤，观察扩张皮肤各径线移位特点，计算面积变化。结果扩张区周边皮肤向中心蠕动和扩张器表面皮肤伸展同时存在。扩张皮肤面积扩大在一定范围内与压力、时间增加成正比，20kPa、60min组合增幅最大，此后增幅明显减少，并逐渐引发皮肤病理性改变。结论皮肤可在一定范围内通过术中即时扩张获得面积有效增加。     

Ⅰ期前后路联合手术治疗严重下颈椎骨折脱位

[目的]探讨Ⅰ期前后路联合手术固定在严重下颈椎骨折脱位中的临床疗效和应用价值。[方法]采用颈椎前路钢板和后路侧块钉棒Ⅰ期联合复位内固定技术治疗严重下颈椎骨折脱位27例,手术均在颅骨牵引下经鼻腔气管插管全身麻醉下进行,先采用俯卧位,植入侧块螺钉、减压、复位后,植入棒,运用“弓弦原理”,采用CD旋棒技术恢复颈椎的序列,维持并稍加大颈椎在矢状面上的生理前凸,植骨融合后拆除颅骨牵引置仰卧位,行前路椎体复位、减压、植骨及自锁钛板固定。术后定期复查X线片以观察损伤节段的稳定性和融合率,以Frankel分级判定脊髓功能的恢复情况。[结果]术后27例全部获得随访,随访6~27个月,平均11.6个月。脱位均完全复位,无植骨不融合。损伤节段稳定,颈椎椎间高度及生理曲度都得到良好重建及维持,未出现内固定断裂、松动及脱出,无血管、神经、食道损伤等并发症。除5例A级、2例B级脊髓功能无恢复,Frankel分级无变化外,其余Frankel分级平均提高1.8级,其中5例患者达到E级。[结论]颈椎Ⅰ期前后路联合手术固定治疗严重下颈椎骨折脱位,完全恢复颈椎序列,复位良好,椎管前后方压迫得到彻底解除,损伤节段术后获得即刻稳定,方便术后护理和功能锻炼,有利于脊髓功能恢复,为一积极有效的方法。     

颈横动脉颈段皮支皮瓣的临床应用

目的 探讨颈前瘢痕及严重的颏胸黏连、胸前瘢痕癌等的治疗方法。方法 颈横动脉起自甲状颈干后，向外行走于胸锁乳突肌、肩胛舌骨肌深面。皮支在胸锁乳突肌与肩胛舌骨肌交点处穿出，并营养锁骨上、下区及前胸区皮肤。本组46例患者，颈部瘢痕及严重的颏胸黏连45例，胸前瘢痕癌1例，均采用颈横动脉颈段皮支皮瓣转移修复。术中先将颈部瘢痕切除，充分松解挛缩后或将肿瘤切除后，在锁骨上、下及前胸区依创面大小，结合颈横动脉颈段皮支的应用解剖，设计皮瓣，转移到受区。如供区采用预扩张术，则供区创面可拉拢缝合。否则。供区需采用断层或全厚皮片移植修复。结果 本组46例患者，11例为带蒂皮瓣转移，余均为岛状皮瓣转移，颏胸黏连完全纠正，术后效果满意。结论 采用颈横动脉颈段皮支皮瓣修复颏胸黏连、胸前瘢痕癌等，手术可一次完成，无继发畸形，是目前较理想的治疗方法。

First-line high-dose chemotherapy combined with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for patients with advanced extragonadal germ cell tumors

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) combined with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) for patients with advanced extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGGCT). METHODS: Six male patients with advanced non-seminomatous EGGCT were treated with HDCT combined with PBSCT following 2-3 cycles of conventional-dose induction chemotherapy. The regimens used for HDCT were carboplatin, etoposide and ifosfamide (ICE) in five patients and ICE plus paclitaxel (T-ICE) in one patient, and that for induction therapy was cisplatin, etoposide and bleomycin (PEB) in all patients. As a rule, HDCT was continuously administered until alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin normalized (beta-HCG). RESULTS: Following 1-6 courses of HDCT (median, 4 courses), beta-HCG and AFP were normalized in all patients, and five and one patient were diagnosed as showing partial remission and stable disease, respectively. Five patients underwent surgical resection of residual tumors after HDCT, yielding necrotic tissue in two, mature teratoma in two, and viable cancer tissue in one, and the surgical margin was negative in all patients. At a median follow-up of 36 months, five patients were alive and disease-free, whereas the remaining one died of disease progression. Although all patients had grade 3 hematological toxicity, there was no treatment-related death by combining PBSCT. CONCLUSIONS: First-line HDCT with PBSCT could be safely administered to patients with advanced EGGCT, and the antitumor effect of this treatment was comparatively favorable. First-line HDCT therefore may represent an attractive option for patients with advanced EGGCT.     

Surgically-assisted maxillary expansion

A combined surgical and orthodontic technique for management of transverse maxillary deficiencies in mature patients is described and discussed. Special references are made to the surgical release of several circummaxillary articulations to facilitate the use of a fixed expansion device, and to the authors' addition of an osteotomy below the nasal spine, to ensure that the nasal septum remains independent of the maxillary segments. Indications for the use of this surgically-assisted maxillary expansion technique, and its advantages when compared with segmented surgical expansion, are also presented.     

外伤性急性颈椎间盘突出症(附19例报告)

本文旨在阐明MRI对急性颈椎间盘突出的诊断价值。19例均有明显的外伤史,X线片无骨折脱位者12例。其中C_(5～6),髓核突出7例,C_(5～6)、C_(1～5),突出5例。有小关节绞锁半脱位者7例,MRI均示损伤间隙有髓核突出。19例均为不全瘫。全部病例经前路椎间盘切除、植骨融合。平均随访15个月,植骨块平均于12周愈合。除1例骨块退出4～5mm外,余位置良好。脊髓功能均有明显恢复。结论:外伤是急性颈椎间盘突出的主要原因,而颈椎间盘突出又是SCIWORA综合征的主要原因。对小关节绞锁半脱位者应考虑同时有椎间盘突出的可能。手术治疗一般效果良好。

Endocrinology: High incidence of embryo transfer cancellations in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome

This study was aimed at assessing the outcome of in-vitro fertilization(IVF) and embryo transfer in patients with polycystic ovariansyndrome (PCOS). The results of IVF and embryo transfer in PCOSpatients (PCOS group, 78 cycles of 26 patients) were comparedwith those of a control group (423 cycles in 202 patients withoutmale factor; age and ovarian stimulation protocol were matched).Although the pregnancy rate per transfer was not different inthe two groups of patients (25 versus 34%, PCOS versus controlgroup), the PCOS group had a significantly lower pregnancy rateper follicle aspiration (19 versus 31%, P < 0.05). A notableresult was a significantly higher incidence of embryo transfercancellations in the PCOS group (22 versus 8%, P < 0.01),which resulted from unpredictable failure of either oocyte recoveryor fertilization. The incidence of unexplained complete failureof fertilization was significantly higher in the PCOS group(18 versus 5%, P < 0.01). These results may reflect a reducedquality of the oocytes in the PCOS group, and there was a subgroupof PCOS patients who repeatedly produced poor results of treatment.Although the ovarian stimulation regimen best suited to PCOSpatients remains to be determined, special care should be takenduring ovarian stimulation, especially when the PCOS patientshad experienced unexplained failure of oocyte recovery or fertilizationin the previous treatment cycle(s).     

Daily changes in presynaptic cholinergic activity of rat sympathetic superior cervical ganglion

The in vitro capacity of sympathetic superior cervical ganglia (SCG) to take up [³H]choline from the extracellular medium, to synthesize acetylcholine from [³H]choline, and to release [³H]acetylcholine in response to a high K⁺ concentration, were examined in rats throughout a 24-h cycle. Both the release of [³H]acetylcholine and the synthesis of [³H]acetylcholine from [³H]choline exhibited significant diurnal variations, showing maxima during the first half of the night. After these maxima, nocturnal acetylcholine release and synthesis decayed to daytime levels and remained low until the end of the night. [³H]Choline uptake by rat SCG did not vary significantly throughout a 24-h period. A 1.5-h exposure of rats to darkness at the 5th hour of light phase of the daily photoperiod did not change significantly any parameter studied. A 20-min, 5-Hz, electrical stimulation of the preganglionic trunk of SCG excised from rats at noon increased significantly subsequent K⁺-induced [³H]acetylcholine release but did not change [³H]acetylcholine synthesis. In decentralized SCG of rats subjected to a unilateral SCG decentralization and a contralateral sham-operation 7 days earlier, [³H]acetylcholine release and synthesis were highly reduced or abolished at the decentralized side, while [³H]choline uptake remained unaltered. The present results suggest that an activation of preganglionic rat SCG neurons takes place during the first half of the scotophase.
