Normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass: effect on the incidence of persistent postoperative neurological dysfunction following coronary artery bypass graft surgery

We retrospectively reviewed the records of 250 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) from January 1994 through January 1996 to determine the incidence of persistent postoperative neurological dysfunction after CABG and to compare normothermic and moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Normothermic CPB was used in 128 patients (36°–37°C) and hypothermic CPB (27°–28°C) in 122 patients. Postoperative neurological dysfunction included focal motor deficits, delayed recovery of consciousness (>24h) after surgery, and seizures within 1 week postoperatively. Persistent neurological dysfunction was diagnosed if complete resolution had not occurred within 10 days of surgery. The incidence of persistent postoperative neurological dysfunction was 4.1% in the hypothermic CPB group and 2.3% in the normothermic CPB group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (P=NS). These results suggest that normothermic CPB did not increase the incidence of persistent postoperative neurological dysfunction compared to hypothermic CPB.     

糖尿病血管内皮损害标志物的检测及其与尿白蛋白的关系

目的　对比观察2型糖尿病(DM)及糖尿病肾病(DN)患者血管内皮损害标志物,分析其与白蛋白尿相关性。方法　6 8例2型糖尿病患者根据尿白蛋白排泄率分为正常白蛋白尿组(Ⅰ组)和微量白蛋白尿组(Ⅱ组) ,同时以健康成人作为对照组(Ⅲ组) ,分别检测其循环内皮细胞(CEC)、vonWillebrand因子(vWF)、内皮素- 1 (ET - 1 )的变化,并分析其相关性。结果　DM患者CEC、vWF和ET - 1明显增高,尤其是DN组(P <0 .0 5 ) ,各指标间以及与尿白蛋白排泄呈正相关。结论　2型DM患者在出现白蛋白尿前已存在血管内皮功能异常,其白蛋白排泄与血管内皮功能障碍程度有一定相关性。

周围神经损伤后勃起功能障碍的治疗进展

外伤、手术可因盆神经丛和 (或 )海绵体神经损伤而造成勃起功能障碍。较理想的治疗方法是使损伤神经自我再生修复 ,完全恢复勃起功能。本文综述近年来勃起神经损伤后再生修复方面的研究进展 ,试图寻找出一种促进损伤的勃起神经再生的最佳方法     

夜间电子生物阻抗测量装置对阴茎勃起功能障碍的检测

目的 :探讨夜间电子生物阻抗测量装置 (NEVA)在阴茎勃起功能障碍的诊断中的应用价值。方法 :对 4 1例主诉阴茎勃起功能障碍者 (障碍组 ) 19例主诉无勃起功能障碍但有射精障碍者 (无障碍组 )进行NEVA检测。结果 :障碍组夜间试验中的夜间勃起的次数、阴茎勃起的最大体积改变、最长持续时间等客观指标均要差于无障碍组 ,差异有统计学意义 (P <0 .0 1)。结论 :NEVA为非侵入性检测、可鉴别心理性阴茎勃起功能障碍和严重的器质性勃起功能障碍 ,且对勃起功能障碍的定性和定量具有一定的客观性。     

Tadalafil in the treatment of erectile dysfunction; an overview of the clinical evidence

Prevalence and severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) increase with aging and are often associated with illnesses, like diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and hypertension, pathologically characterized by endothelial dysfunction and whose prevalence increases with age. The assumption that ED is mainly a neurovascular disease is supported by the evidence that specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibition produces an efficient erection in a wide range of ages and conditions. The availability of specific PDE5 inhibitors has enabled the development of effective treatment strategies, in this contest, tadalafil may be considered as the least “typical” PDE5 inhibitor. In clinical trials, tadalafil significantly enhanced, in patients of different ages, all efficacy outcomes across disease etiologies and severities. With an effectiveness lasting up to 36h, tadalafil allows patients to choose when to have sexual activities without the need to time it, showing positive feedback in terms of quality of life related to the treatment. Headache and dyspepsia were the most frequent side-effects of tadalafil, followed by back pain, nasal congestion, myalgia, and flushing, but the impact that long time action could have on effectiveness and safety is not yet entirely defined. The aim of this article is to critically review the available evidence from the tadalafil clinical research program and give the physician a rational approach for intervention in the treatment of ED and related diseases.     

万艾可治疗ED时对BPH引起LUTS改善的研究

目的 :探索、研究万艾可在治疗阴茎勃起功能障碍 (ED)时对由良性前列腺增生 (BPH)引起的下尿路症状(LUTS)的影响。　方法 :32例ED同时伴有BPH的研究对象 ,采用IIEF 5问卷表和IPSS评分表 ,在服用万艾可前和服药后 6个月分别各填写一次 ,应用单因素方差分析对所得到的前后评分进行统计学分析。结果 :在服药前32例ED中 ,轻、中、重分别为 14、13、5例 ,BPH中轻、中、重分别为 3、15、14例 ;服药后IIEF 5评分平均上升4 2 .36 % ,IPSS评分平均下降 2 0 .14 % ,两者在统计学上都有显著性差异 ,P <0 .0 1。　结论 :在治疗中老年性ED合并BPH中 ,应用万艾可既能治疗ED ,取得完美的性生活 ,又能达到改善由BPH引起的LUTS。万艾可是一治疗ED有效的药物 ,但对于前列腺基质平滑肌亦有辅助性松弛作用 ,因此也有助于BPH时LUTS的缓解。     

保留盆腔自主神经的全直肠系膜切除的临床应用及评价

目的探讨保留盆腔自主神经（PANP）的全直肠系膜切除（TME）在男性直肠癌低位保肛术中的应用。方法回顾性分析传统手术、TME和PANP＋TME在男性直肠癌保肛手术中的应用，对各组病人肿瘤下缘距肛门距离、3年存活率、局部复发率、排尿功能、性功能作一评价。结果TME组和PANP＋TME组手术病人的肿瘤下缘距肛门距离较传统手术组明显缩短（P〈0．05）；3组的3年存活率分析差异无显著性（P〉0．05）；TME组和PANP＋TME组的局部复发率较传统手术组明显降低（P〈0．05）；传统手术组、TME组、PANP＋TME组的排尿障碍、勃起功能障碍和射精功能障碍的发生率逐渐降低，3组间两两比较差异均有显著性（P〈0．05）。PANP手术分型与排尿障碍、勃起功能障碍和射精功能障碍分级呈正相关（P〈0．05）。结论TME可以降低直肠癌的局部复发率，降低排尿障碍和性功能障碍的发生率；PANP和TME结合使排尿障碍和性功能障碍的发生率更加降低，PANP手术保留神经越彻底，手术后排尿障碍、性功能障碍的发生率越低。     

The synchronization of respiration and swallow sounds with videofluoroscopy during swallowing

Simultaneous recording of adult subjects sipping small amounts of fluid from a cup have been obtained by videofluoroscopy together with feeding respiratory patterns and swallow sounds from the Exeter Dysphagia Assessment Technique (EDAT). These allowed visual representations of respiration and swallow sounds to be superimposed on a videofluoroscopy recording using a split-screen technique. Sequentially numbered, 1/50 sec, half-frame photographic prints were examined and schematic drawings of the relevant radiographs were made. These were superimposed on to the actual EDAT printed chart of the same swallow event, theri exact time relationship with respiration and cervical swallow sounds being preserved. The results allow events in the barium videofluoroscopy to be related to events in the feeding respiratory pattern and swallow sounds recorded by EDAT.
