白塞病并发动脉瘤12例的外科治疗体会

目的总结白塞病并发动脉瘤的外科手术和腔内治疗经验。方法对1977年6月至2006年3月收治的12例白塞病患者并发21个动脉瘤进行回顾性分析。腹主动脉瘤3个,升主动脉瘤1个,髂动脉瘤4个,髂动脉吻合口假性动脉瘤1个,股总动脉瘤3个,股浅动脉瘤2个,腘动脉瘤2个,椎动脉瘤1个,锁骨下动脉瘤2个。颈动脉瘤1个和肠系膜上动脉瘤1个。21个动脉瘤中,行外科手术14个,包括动脉瘤切除、人工血管或自体大隐静脉移植术12个,动脉瘤切除、病变动脉结扎术2个;行支架型人工血管腔内修复术6个;1个升主动脉瘤因患者全身情况差,行保守治疗。结果围手术期死亡患者2例,其中1例行外科手术,1例行腔内修复术。术后吻合口假性动脉瘤1例（1个）,其他部位新动脉瘤形成7个,下肢血管移植物闭塞2例,但患肢无明显缺血坏死。6例患者随访3-293个月,随访中位时间28个月,1例死于肺癌。结论白塞病动脉瘤一旦发生,需积极处理。术前、术后积极免疫抑制治疗可降低外科手术和腔内修复术后并发症发生。因术后有吻合口和其他部位假性动脉瘤复发及血管移植物闭塞可能,需长期随访、及时处理。

Interstitial and vascular pancreas rejection in relation to graft survival

To examine the incidence of interstitial and vascular rejection in pancreas allografts and its impact on graft survival, we studied 36 percutaneous pancreas biopsies and 10 pancreas transplantectomy specimens from 32 patients who had undergone simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Interstitial rejection (IR) was predominantly found in the biopsies, while vascular rejection (VR) was most prominent in the transplantectomies. Pancreas graft survival was significantly decreased for pancreas grafts that had suffered from vascular rejection when compared to those with only interstitial rejection. Potential rejection markers, i. e., serum amylase, glucose, creatinine, and urinary amylase, did not correlate with histological signs of rejection, although increased levels of serum amylase were, in all but one case, associated with rejection.We conclude that a percutaneous pancreas biopsy remains the most reliable method to determine pancreas rejection, and that by distinguishing between IR andVR, a pancreas biopsy may provide important diagnostic as well as prognostic information.

Basilar arterio-venous pseudoparallelism due to persistence of embryonal venous pattern

Summary A vascular malformation, consisting of a venous vessel bridgeing the right inferior petrosal sinus and the anterior spinal veins, was found in the posterior fossa. The vessel presented a ring-like course around the right trigeminal root, and it was parallel and dorsal to the basilar artery. The malformation was associated with cutaneous and hepatic angiomas and peri-osteal lipomas. It had been clinically silent for 52 years, when it thrombosed causing death. The authors think that, within a general mesenchymopatic state, this is a result of the persistence of an embryonal cerebral venous pattern.     

Needs and needs assessment: their components and definitions with reference to dementia

The concept of need and the practice of needs assessment are both subject to a wide range of interpretations, to the likely detriment of individual assessments and to multidisciplinary working. Clear definition is important for individual assessment, for the development of multidisciplinary tools and in gathering planning information. The concept of need is clarified, firstly by distinguishing between need and the difficulties that engender it, and secondly through a taxonomy of need. These assist clear definitions of both need and needs assessment when linked with a consideration of the current help a person receives and a specification of the type of help required by a person to meet their needs. Such definitions have implications for the role of needs assessment in individual assessment, service evaluation, service management and planning and in the development of multidisciplinary needs assessment tools.     

Interaction between thiol-modifying agents and P1075, a KATP channel opener, in rat isolated aorta

In vascular smooth muscle, openers of ATP-dependent potassium channels (K _ATP channels), such as P1075 (N-cyano-N’-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-N’’-3-pyridylguanidine), produce relaxation. In this study we have investigated the effects of thiol-modifying agents on the binding of P1075 and on the ⁸⁶Rb⁺ efflux stimulating and vasorelaxant effects of the opener in rat aortic rings. The increase in ⁸⁶Rb⁺ efflux induced by P1075 was taken as a qualitative measure of K⁺ channel opening. The hydrophilic SH-group-oxidizing substance, thimerosal (1 to 100μM), abolished specific binding of [³H]-P1075 with an IC₅₀ value of 7.6±1.2μM; at 30μM, the half time for inhibition was 38min. Two other thiol-oxidizing agents, PMB (4-hydroxy-mercuribenzoic acid) and DTBNP (2,2’-dithio-bis(5-nitropyridine)), inhibited binding up to 86% and 44%, respectively. The disulphide bond reducing substance, DTT (1,4-dithiothreitol, 0.1 to 1mM), reduced [³H]-P1075 binding by up to 20% and partially reversed the inhibitory effect of thimerosal. In ⁸⁶Rb⁺ efflux experiments, thimerosal (3 to 100μM) concentration-dependently increased basal efflux but inhibited P1075-stimulated tracer efflux with an IC₅₀ value of 7±1μM. The inhibitory effect occurred with a half-time of approximately 8min and was essentially reversed by DTT. In rings precontracted with noradrenaline, thimerosal inhibited the vasorelaxant effect in a noncompetitive manner, shifting the concentration-relaxation curves to the right and reducing maximum relaxation.The data show that oxidation of thiol groups interferes with the binding of the K _ATP channel opener, P1075; concomitantly, the ⁸⁶Rb⁺ efflux stimulating and the vasorelaxant effects are inhibited. Reduction of disulphide bonds by DTT has only minor effects on the action of P1075. Collectively, the results suggest that intact thiol groups are essential for the functioning of the K_ATP channel in rat aorta. The different kinetics governing the inhibition of opener binding and of opener-stimulated ⁸⁶Rb⁺ efflux suggest that the SH-groups involved in the two processes differ in their accessibility to thimerosal and/or in their reactivity.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON MICRO-VASCULAR ANASTOMOSIS IN INFECTED WOUNDS

The effect of established infection with penicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus on m'icrbarterial anastomosis was studied in an experimental model. The infection was treated with wound debridement and systemic antibiotics before the surgical procedure. It was found that the anastomotic patency rate of microarte-rial repair was 95.1%. The presence of established infection, if properly treated, should not be a contraindication to microarterial surgery.
