Local analgesic and vascular effects of intradermal ropivacaine and bupivacaine in various concentrations with and without addition of adrenaline in man

Ropivacaine, a new long–acting amino–amide local anaesthetic agent, and bupivacaine, in various concentrations with or without addition of adrenaline, were tested in a randomized, double–blind study using intradermal wheals. Ten non–smoking, healthy, young male volunteers participated. In series I plain solutions of ropivacaine (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%) and bupivacaine (0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%) were injected intradermally and in series II the same concentrations, with the addition of adrenaline 5 ug ml^-1 ( 1 :200 000), were used. The same volunteers took part in both series, with an interval of at least three weeks between the experiments. Saline was included as control in both series. Pin–pricking was used to assess the dermal analgesia. Plain solutions of ropivacaine produced significantly longer durations of dermal analgesia than did plain solutions of bupivacaine, in all tested concentrations. A significant increase in duration was seen for both local anaesthetics when adding adrenaline. Local vascular effects at the injected areas were determined by visual inspection (nil, pink, pale). Local blanching (pale) was significantly more frequent for plain solutions of ropivacaine, in all tested concentrations. Local redness (pink) was significantly more frequent with plain bupivacaine, in a dose–dependent relation. An initial redness was frequently observed for both local anaesthetics containing adrenaline, followed by blanching at most sites.     

突发性耳聋甲皱微循环改变及针刺的影响

目的：观察突发性耳聋患甲皱微循环改变及针刺的影响。方法：采用自身前后对照的方法。对突发性耳聋患针刺前后甲皱微循环进行记录。结果：突聋患甲皱微循环明显异常，针刺后患甲皱微循环加权积分值明显改善（P＜0．05）。结论：针刺可改善突聋甲皱微循环状态，提示针刺治疗突聋的机制可能与患外周血液循环得到改善有关。     

Lähmung des N. hypoglossus nach operativem Eingriff – Behandlung mit Akupunktur

Acupuncture is able to accelerate the process of healing significantly when employed in cases of nerve paresis as shown in the following analysis. The patient's constant condition of speech and swallowing impediment before treatment changed relatively fast after starting acupuncture treatment. It is self evident that we took into account the primary disease (AIDS) and its problems. The simplicity of a complementary treatment with acupuncture according to the possible results should make us consider the use of acupuncture as an important way to treat paresis in the early subacute phase and if possible during clinical stay.

针刺对海洛因依赖的脱毒疗效及其防复吸潜力的临床研究

目的 比较针刺、针刺加阿片、阿片加丁丙诺啡及阿片加韩氏戒毒仪4种方法的脱毒疗效及其对脱毒末期稽延性戒断症状和心理渴求的影响。方法 应用戒断症状量表观察脱毒疗效，应用视觉类比量表(VAS)研究心理渴求程度。结果 针刺改善海洛困依赖者戒断症状的优势主要表现在治疗的第6天以后，改善渴求心理的优势表现在第8天以后，且无明显副作用。结论 针刺具有防复吸潜力。可作为解决稽延性戒断症状和消除心理依赖的治疗方法。     

不同频率电针刺激对大鼠髌腱血流量变化的影响

目的:探讨分析不同频率电针治疗时肌腱血流的变化及其变化机制。方法:将40只Wistar大鼠分为2Hz组、10Hz组、100Hz组和针刺(10Hz)+阿托品组、针刺(10Hz)+酚妥拉明组。手术剥离出大鼠胫骨粗隆上缘的髌腱,利用超声测定技术,观察针刺足三里和梁丘穴前后髌腱血流量的变化。并采用静脉滴入阿托品和酚妥拉明的方法,对针刺作用机制进行分析。结果:(1)2Hz组和10Hz组在针刺过程中,髌骨腱血流量分别下降至针刺前的82.11±10.8%、49.17±11.63%,针刺停止后,两组血流量却逆转为高于针刺前的水平,以10Hz组上升幅度较为明显;(2)100Hz组针刺过程中,血流量下降至针刺前的37.54±12.79%,针刺停止后血流量未恢复到针刺前的水平;(3)针刺(10Hz)+阿托品组:针刺时血流量降低至44.61±12.01%,停针后血流量未出现增加现象;(4)针刺(10Hz)+酚妥拉明组:针刺时血流量增加至119.73±14.66%,针刺停止后血流量继续增加。结论:(1)电针刺激期间髌腱血流下降,刺激停止后血流量明显增加;(2)中、低频率刺激对血流量增加效果优于高频刺激;(3)针刺对血流量的影响与舒血管神经和缩血管神经的调节有关。

电针对大鼠脑局部缺血-再灌流损伤的保护作用

再灌流前电针“环跳”穴３０ｍｉｎ，观察对左大脑中动脉（ＭＣＡ）缺血 再灌流模型大鼠早期运动功能、自由基代谢、脑水肿及神经电生理活动的影响。结果：缺血再灌＋针刺组大鼠再灌流后神经功能缺损状况有较明显的改善，病灶侧脑组织过氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）活性及丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）含量恢复到接近假手术对照组的水平。皮层体感诱发电位（ＳＥＰ）测量表明缺血侧Ｐ１潜伏期及Ｐ１ Ｎ１波幅亦有显著性改善。结果表明：于再灌流前电针处理对本模型脑缺血 再灌流损伤有保护作用     

Cerebriform intradermal naevus (a rare form of secondary cutis verticis gyrata)

BACKGROUND: Acquired cerebriform intradermal naevus (CIN) is a rare form of pseudo cutis verticis gyrata. CASE REPORT: A case of acquired CIN of the scalp in a 46-year-old male patient is presented. The clinical and histopathological presentations of CIN are described and the therapeutic possibilities are discussed. CONCLUSIONS: In each individual case the physician must decide whether to do surgery or follow a wait-and-see policy. There is little risk of malignant change of CIN, and surgical excision of such lesions often involves evident mutilation.
