髂深血管蒂髂骨-腹内斜肌同蒂双岛状瓣修复下颌复合组织缺损

目的评价以髂深血管为蒂的髂骨—腹内斜肌双岛状瓣（简称同蒂双岛状瓣）修复下颌复合组织缺损的临床应用价值。方法2005年1月至2006年10月,应用同蒂双岛状瓣修复10例下颌骨复合组织缺损（包括下颌骨体部、下颌角和下颌骨升支及其周围软组织,其中有7例还包含髁突的缺损）。结果10例同蒂双岛状瓣移植均获成功,仅1例出现局部轻度感染,换药后二期愈合。术后随访3～24个月,均无肿瘤复发,颌面外形两侧基本对称,咬合关系恢复正常,且供区未见明显的并发症。结论同蒂双岛状瓣具有切口隐蔽、单一,对供区功能影响小,软硬组织复合缺损同期修复效果好等特点,是半侧下颌骨复合周围软组织大型缺损功能重建的较好方案。     

Regional variations in intramyocellular lipid concentration correlate with muscle fiber type distribution in rat tibialis anterior muscle.

1H MR spectroscopy (MRS) has proved to be a valuable noninvasive tool to measure intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) in research focused on insulin resistance and type II diabetes in both humans and rodents. An important determinant of IMCL is the muscle fiber type, since oxidative type I fibers can contain up to three times more IMCL than glycolytic type II muscle fibers. Because these different muscle fiber types are inhomogeneously distributed in rodent muscle, in the present study we investigated the distribution of IMCL within the rat tibialis anterior muscle (TA) in vivo using single-voxel 1H MRS along with the muscle fiber distribution in the TA ex vivo determined from immunohistological assays. IMCL levels in the TA differed by up to a factor of 3 depending on the position of the voxel. The distribution of IMCL over the TA cross section was not random, but emerged in a pattern similar to the distribution of the predominantly oxidative muscle fiber types. Dietary interventions, such as high-fat feeding and 15 hr of fasting, did not significantly change this typical fiber type-dependent pattern of IMCL content. These results stress the importance of voxel positioning when single-voxel 1H MRS is used to study IMCL in rodent muscle.     

Focal vulnerability of developing brain: CT studies on disproportionally dilated lateral ventricles

Summary Cranial computed tomography (CT) of 108 cases with dilated lateral ventricles was reviewed to elucidate the relationship between focal vulnerability of developing brain and disproportional dilatation of lateral ventricles. CT findings of 108 cases with symmetrical dilatation of lateral ventricles were classified into three types by morphometry of lateral ventricles: anterior horn predominant type (31 cases), diffuse type (36 cases), posterior horn predominant type (41 cases). Posterior horn predominant type has a tendency to occur in congenital anomalies and premature brain damage, and anterior horn predominant type in infantile brain damage. This disproportional dilatation of anterior or posterior horns suggests a vulnerability of periventricular structure in developing brain.     

Pharmacology of the internal anal sphincter and its relevance to faecal incontinence

1 The internal anal sphincter (IAS) has a spontaneous tone and is the main contributor to the maintenance of faecal continence. The spontaneous resting tone exhibited by the sphincter can be modified by neurotransmitters from the autonomic and enteric nervous systems. 2 In this review, the influence of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems on IAS tone are discussed and the putative roles of nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, vasoactive intestinal peptide and adenosine triphosphate in non‐adrenergic non‐cholinergic transmission are considered. 3 Faecal incontinence is a common condition that places a heavy financial burden on the health service and severely affects patients’ quality of life. Resting anal pressure is reduced in patients with faecal incontinence and agents that increase sphincter tone tend to relieve symptoms. The results of clinical studies of the use of phenylephrine to treat faecal incontinence are reviewed. 4 It is concluded that the IAS is a potential target for drug development for the treatment of faecal incontinence.     

Surgery for ventricular tachycardia in patients undergoing surgical ventricular restoration: The Karolinska approach

This article presents a review on the efficacy of surgical ventricular restoration and direct surgery for ventricular tachycardia in patients with left ventricular aneurysm or dilated ischemic cardiomyopathy. The procedure includes a non-electrophysiologically guided subtotal endocardiectomy and cryoablation in addition to endoventricular patch plasty of the left ventricle. Coronary artery bypass surgery and mitral valve repair are performed concomitantly as needed. In our experience, this procedure yielded a 90% success rate in terms of freedom from spontaneous ventricular tachycardia, with an early mortality rate of 3.8%. A practical guide to the pre- and postoperative management of these patients is provided.

颈清患者保留及重建肩功能的研究进展

<正>1906年,Crile等人针对头颈部恶性肿瘤易发生颈淋巴结转移的情况提出了根治性颈淋巴清扫术(radical neck dissection,RND),这一术式在后来的很多年里,挽救了许多患者的生命。但RND损伤了副神经和颈部的一些重要的解剖结构,常导致患者斜方肌瘫痪萎缩,出现翼状肩胛、垂肩、肩周疼痛麻木、手臂活动受限、功能障碍等并发症,
