目的:探讨彩色多普勒多参数分析对乳腺良、恶性肿块鉴别诊断的价值。材料和方法:应用高频彩色多普勒对96例104个乳腺实质肿块进行扫查,观察肿块的彩色多普勒血流信号及多普勒血流频谱形态,与手术病理结果对照分析。结果:64.4%的良性肿块可检出血流信号,血流信号多为Ⅰ~Ⅱ级,良性肿块中血流频谱以低阻力搏动型及静脉型多见,91.1%的乳腺恶性肿块可检出血流信号,血流信号多为Ⅱ~Ⅲ级,恶性肿块的血流频谱形态较多样化,即同时有多种血流频谱,且以高阻力搏动型和湍流型为多见。结论:高频彩色多普勒超声多参数综合分析有助于临床对乳腺肿块的诊断及鉴别诊断。     

Normal obstetric ultrasound reduces the risk of Down syndrome in fetuses of older mothers

The objective of this study is to determine whether a normal fetal morphology ultrasound scan in women older than 35 years reduces the risk of aneuploidy. We reviewed the results of amniocentesis and second trimester sonogram in all women older than 35 years from 1991 to 1995. None had prior screening. We excluded fetuses with structural anomalies. We determined the sensitivity and specificity of minor markers in detecting Down syndrome and also determined the reduction in risk of a normal sonogram. Among the 2060 women older than 35 years giving birth during the study period, 16 (0.78%) delivered an infant with Down syndrome. Of the 16 fetuses, two had no prenatal testing or ultrasound, two had invasive testing but no second trimester sonogram, five had a normal sonogram and seven had one or more sonographic markers of Down syndrome. At least 17% of women older than 35 years did not participate in prenatal testing or ultrasound. Ultrasound detected Down syndrome with a sensitivity of 59% (95% confidence interval: 45–72%), a false‐positive rate of 10.6% (9.4–11.8%) and a positive predictor value of 1 in 9. The likelihood of having normal karyotype if the sonogram was normal was 0.46 (0.31–0.61). In women older than 35 years, a normal second trimester sonogram reduces the risk of Down syndrome by more than 50%. At least 17% of women older than 35 years do not participate in prenatal testing or ultrasound.

Most deaths occurring in connection with car fires are the result of traffic accidents. With regard to differential diagnosis, suicides and homicides also have to be kept in mind. Compared with other charred bodies, for example from house fires, they show stronger consumption by the fire, which makes it more difficult to assess the case at autopsy and to identify the victims. In fires occurring after traffic accidents, the question to be answered is whether death was caused by the fire or by any accident-related injuries. While in the presence of potentially fatal injuries perimortem burning has to be discussed, it may be difficult to differentiate peracute death due to the effect of heat from purely postmortem burning. The most important signs of vital exposure to the fire are soot deposits in the respiratory tract, the oesophagus and the stomach as well as an elevated COHb concentration in the corpse blood. In deaths occurring after car fires due to collisions, the COHb values are usually <40%, often even <20%. Higher values are seen especially when the fire started in the passenger compartment.     

Sonographic diagnosis of early recurrence after inguinal herniorrhaphy: Potential pitfalls

Three patients who presented with scrotal swelling within a few days of inguinal herniorrhaphy are reported. Ultrasonography scans performed in these patients all demonstrated features suspicious of recurrence of hernia. One patient underwent surgical exploration, which revealed only a scrotal haematoma without evidence of recurrent hernia. The other two patients were managed conservatively because clinically the swellings were regarded to be more compatible with haematoma. Both patients had subsequent resolution of the scrotal swelling with no clinical evidence of recurrence of hernia on follow‐up. It is concluded that sonographic diagnosis of recurrence of hernia shortly after inguinal herniorrhaphy can occasionally be misleading.     

经阴道宫腔声学造影诊断子宫内膜息肉的价值

目的:探讨经阴道子宫腔造影技术(Transvaginal sonohysterography,SHG)诊断子宫内膜息肉的价值。材料和方法:对39例有异常阴道出血者行SHG检查,并将检查结果与经阴道超声(Transvaginal sonography,TVS)、诊断性刮宫或宫腔镜所获得的结果进行比较分析。结果:病理证实的子宫内膜息肉34例,粘膜下子宫肌瘤3例,子宫内膜增生1例。SHG诊断子宫内膜息肉32例,均可清晰地显示宫腔轮廓和病灶的形态,30例与内膜界限清楚,可见病灶附着部位,23例于结节内部或蒂部显示血流信号;TVS诊断子宫内膜息肉26例,均可见子宫内膜稍强回声结节,其中19例边界清楚,6例可见病灶附着部位;8例结节内部或蒂部显示血流。使用TVS34例均未显示宫腔的轮廓。本组子宫内膜病例在宫腔轮廓及病灶附着部位方面SHG和TVS的显示率分别为94.1%、88.2%和0%、17.6%。SHG明显优于TVS(P<0.001)。SHG诊断粘膜下子宫肌瘤3例,回声与基底部的子宫肌层相似,略低于子宫内膜,病灶基底部与子宫肌层无界限,表面可见内膜与造影剂构成的亮线,1例可见蒂部,CDFI显示2例内部血流丰富,1例见肌层血管穿入病灶。TVS诊断粘膜下子宫肌瘤2例,表现为为子宫内膜低回声结节,1例子宫内膜呈非均质改变,CDFI可见内部丰富的血流信号(SHG显示宫腔内为2枚粘膜下子宫肌瘤,已得到HSC证实)。结论:SHG能明显提高病变的显示率,对于子宫内膜息肉的术前诊断具有重要的临床价值。     

老年腹主动脉瘤非手术治疗的长期超声随访研究

目的超声随访观察经非手术治疗的老年腹主动脉瘤的发展变化规律。方法超声随访诊断明确、病历及影像学资料完整的老年腹主动脉瘤非手术治疗患者37例，按首次发现时瘤体大小分3组，定期测量并记录各组腹主动脉扩张最明显处横切面直径，计算年增长量。结果37例腹主动脉瘤首次发现时瘤径大小平均为4．68cm，随访年限0．5～11年，平均6．1年，瘤径平均每年增长0．47cm。14例瘤径小于4．0cm，平均年增长0．23cm，15例瘤径小于6．0cm，平均年增长0．37cm，8例瘤径大于6．0cm，平均年增长0．67cm。随访期间死亡5例，其中因动脉瘤破裂死亡2例，破裂前瘤径大小分别为8．35cm、8．91cm。7例随访期间因瘤径短期内明显增大而行腹主动脉瘤腔内支架隔绝术。结论老年腹主动脉瘤瘤径小于6．0cm者随增龄增长缓慢，大于6．0cm者随增龄增长快，应进行积极的外科干预。     

经阴道超声及宫腔造影对鉴别子宫内膜息肉与其他病变的意义

目的分析子宫内膜病变的声像图和血流特征,并评价经阴道彩色多普勒超声宫腔造影对子宫内膜息肉的诊断价值。方法采用经阴道彩色多普勒加宫腔造影,分别对19例子宫内膜息肉和32例子宫内膜其他病变之声像图、彩色血流及频谱表现进行对比,全部病例经宫腔镜及手术后的病理证实。结果经阴道彩色多普勒超声检诊子宫内膜息肉,清晰显示了内膜与黏膜下肌层之界限和息肉的病变边界,还显示了息肉蒂基底的彩色血流或黏膜下肌瘤周边彩色血流环,适时加做宫腔造影则更有益于对细小病变的诊断。结论经阴道彩色多普勒超声加做宫腔造影可大大提高对子宫内膜息肉与子宫内膜其他病的鉴别诊断水平。     

Karzinomassoziierte Retinopathie (CAR) bei Mammakarzinom und Karzinoid

Fragestellung: Die Karzinomassoziierte Retinopathie (CAR) stellt ein seltenes paraneoplastisches Syndrom dar, das bislang am h?ufigsten bei kleinzelligen Bronchialkarzinomen beschrieben wurde. Wir berichten über 3 Patientinnen mit CAR in Gegenwart eines Mammakarzinoms bzw. eines Karzinoids der Cervix uteri. Patienten und Methode: Es wurden biomikroskopische, perimetrische, angiographische und elektrophysiologische Befunde erhoben. Au?erdem erfolgte eine Testung der Immunreaktivit?t der Seren an humaner Retina. Ergebnisse: Die Befunde umfa?ten ringf?rmige Gesichtsfelddefekte mit statokinetischer Dissoziation und eine pathologische St?bchen- und Zapfenantwort im ERG. Bei 1 Patientin wurde immunhistochemisch eine Reaktion im Bereich der Photorezeptorinnensegmente, der ?u?eren K?rnerschicht sowie der ?u?eren plexiformen Schicht bei fehlendem Nachweis von Antik?rpern gegen Recoverin gefunden. Diskussion: Neben dem kleinzelligen Bronchialkarzinom k?nnen auch andere Prim?rtumoren mit einer CAR vergesellschaftet sein. Der Nachweis von retinalen Autoantik?rpern unterstützt die Annahme einer tumorinduzierten Immunantwort aufgrund der Expression identischer Epitope durch die Tumorzellen. Dabei kommen offensichtlich verschiedene retinale Proteine als Autoantigene in Betracht.
