微创穿刺术治疗基底节区脑出血临床随机对照研究

目的评价比较微创穿刺血肿粉碎清除术与内科保守治疗两种方法治疗基底节区脑出血(25～40m l)的疗效异同。方法采用多中心、随机对照试验的方法,42个参研医院共随机入选465例基底节区脑出血患者,根据纳入与排除标准共排除88例,其中资料不全者16例;不符合入选标准者72例,分别为Glasgow评分≤8分(64例)、术前出血量>40m l(7例)、从发病到达急诊室时间>72h(1例)。评价治疗14d时两组患者神经功能缺损程度和日常生活活动能力、治疗3个月时的日常生活活动能力以及3个月和住院期间病死率。结果最终符合入组标准的病例数为377例,其中微创治疗组195例,对照组182例。微创治疗组患者于治疗14d时,神经功能改善明显优于对照组(χ2=7.931,P=0.02);治疗3个月时达良好功能状态的患者比例明显多于对照组(35.91%vs21.82%;χ2=8.294P=0.004)。微创治疗组病,残率明显低于对照组(40.88%vs63.03%,χ2=16.948,P<0.01);两组病死率间差异无显著性意义(6.67%vs8.79%)。结论与单纯内科保守治疗相比,应用微创穿刺血肿粉碎清除术治疗基底节区小血肿不增加病死率,并可明显提高脑出血患者的日常生活活动能力,降低病残率。

云南省宁蒗县不明原因猝死病例调查研究

目的探讨云南省宁蒗县不明原因猝死病例的死因。方法对云南省宁蒗县不明原因猝死病例进行现场流行病学调查,采集样本进行病理学、病毒学等相关检验及分析研究。结果猝死病例的临床表现类似阿-斯综合征发作,心电图示窦性心动过速、Q-T间期延长、ST段改变、室颤,病理检验主要以心肌间质水肿、弥漫性炎细胞浸润、心肌纤维断裂、心肌灶性坏死以及其他脏器炎细胞浸润等改变为主;同发病例的临床表现亦类似阿-斯综合征发作,心电图示Q-T间期延长、室扑,粪便标本病毒分离阴性,但是从中检测到了埃可病毒11型(ECHO11)的基因片段。结论猝死病例及同发病例与既往报道的云南地方性爆发性心肌炎类似,心肌炎性改变可能诱发快速心律失常,引起阿-斯综合征发作,最后导致发病甚至猝死。     

Simulating realistic zero loop pedigrees using a bipartite Prufer code and graphical modelling.

Graph algorithms previously developed by the authors are adapted to simulate pedigrees similar to those used in genetic linkage studies which associate disease phenotypes with specific genomic locations. Pedigrees are chosen uniformly at random from the set of those with specified numbers of individuals and matings and which contain no loops. Summary statistics from pedigrees generated in this way can be used to check real pedigrees for anomalies due to biased sampling or phenotypic effects on the pedigree structure.     

离子型与非离子型MR对比剂对肝脏病变的增强效果比较

目的　对比离子型钆喷酸葡胺 (Gd -DTPA)和非离子型钆双胺MR对比剂 (Gd -DTPA -BMA)在肝脏病变手推团注多时相增强扫描中的增强效果。方法　 5 8例肝脏疾病患者 (男 3 1例 ,女 2 7例 ,年龄 3 0～ 77岁 )分 2组 ,第 1组 :3 0例 (男 16例 ,女 14例 ) ,采用Gd -DTPA -BMA。第 2组 :2 8例 (男 17例 ,女 11例 ) ,采用Gd -DTPA。行MR手推团注多时相增强扫描。结果　Gd -DTPA -BMA组 :增强效果满意者 2 3例 (77% ) ,增强效果一般者 6例 (2 0 % ) ,增强效果差者 1例 (3 % )。Gd -DTPA组 :增强效果满意者 2 2例(79% ) ,增强效果一般者 6例 (2 1% )。结论　在肝脏疾病MR手推团注多时相增强扫描中 ,Gd -DTPA -BMA和Gd -DTPA均可达到满意的增强效果 ,安全及有效性两者无显著性差异。Gd -DTPA -BMA粘滞度小 ,利于快速推注。     

MR imaging of viscoelastic properties

Mechanical waves in magnetic resonance imaging, which have been suggested for possible clinical applications, were analyzed with regard to imaging of the viscoelastic properties of large objects. The method is based on the Larmor frequency modulation caused by the application of mechanical waves. Possible clinical applications include all diseases that result in a change in the mechanical properties of biologic tissues (eg, atherosclerosis).     

F wave studies after intrathecal methotrexate administration

Electrophysiological examinations were done on 20 patients aged 40–71 years with recently diagnosed high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. General chemotherapy and intrathecal chemotherapy in order to prevent central nervous system (CNS) involvement were begun. On the first day of chemotherapeutic cycle patients received intrathecally methotrexate (ITMTX) and prednisolone. Electrophysiological study was carried out twice in each subject: before ITMTX injection and a day after injection. The study procedure included: a conventional nerve conduction examination (peripheral conduction velocity and compound muscle action potential amplitude), the F wave latency and amplitude measurement and F ratio (F-M-1/2M) calculation for peroneal and tibial nerve bilaterally. Results of the first and the second examinations were statistically compared by t-Student's test. No significant differences between values of estimated parameters were found. The study revealed no recent alterations in proximal, paraspinal motor conduction and motor neuron excitability due to antidromical activation after single ITMTX administration.     

Evaluation of loose bodies in the elbow with MR imaging

The evaluation of loose bodies in the elbow is usually done by means of clinical examination, radiography, and postarthrographic computed tomography (CT). The authors review their experience with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in place of postarthrographic CT for the evaluation of loose bodies in the elbow. The prospective interpretation of MR studies of the elbow in 20 patients was compared with arthroscopic findings. All elbows were imaged in multiple planes with thin sections, surface coils, and combinations of T1, T2, and proton-density weighting. The sensitivity for showing loose bodies with MR imaging was 100%, and the specificity was 67%. Because this was a nonblinded study, the results are biased and caution must be used when extrapolating these results to the general population. In this limited experience, MR imaging has reliably shown loose bodies in the elbow, and in the authors' institutions has replaced postarthrographic CT for that purpose.
