咪唑安定对低血容量休克鼠静脉血管可容性的影响

目的研究咪唑安定对低血容量休克血管可容性的影响及可能的作用机制。方法血管可容性的变化通过测量注射咪唑安定前后全身平均循环充盈压(Pmcf)来表示。实验鼠分为对照组(n=8),交感神经阻断组(SNSB,n=8),交感神经阻断 去甲肾上腺素组(SNSB NA,n=9),低血容量组(n=5)。静脉注射咪唑安定0.1、0.3、0.5、1.0mg·kg-1后2min测量Pmcf。结果与用药前相比,咪唑安定导致对照组、低血容量组、SNSB NA组平均动脉压明显下降(P<0.05),但对照组呈剂量依存性方式。对照组和低血容量组的Pmcf呈现剂量依存性下降(P<0.05),但SNSB组、SNSB NA组无改变。结论 咪唑安定可引起剂量依存性的静脉血管舒张,而这种作用主要是源于其对静脉血管交感神经张力的抑制。     

A comparative analysis of radiological and surgical placement of central venous catheters

Purpose To compare the differences in practice and outcome of all radiologically and surgically placed central venous catheters retrospectively over a 2-year period simultaneously, at a single institution. Methods A total of 253 Hickman catheters were inserted in 209 patients; 120 were placed radiologically in 102 patients and 133 were placed surgically in 107 patients. The indication was chemotherapy in 76% of radiological and in 47% of surgical cases; the remainder were for total parenteral nutrition and venous access. Results There were 6 (4.5%) primary surgical failures and a further 17 (13%) surgical cases requiring multiple placement attempts. Pneumothorax occurred once (0.8%) surgically and four times (3.3%) radiologically. There were no radiological primary misplacements but there were five (3.7%) surgical ones. Catheter or central vein thrombosis occurred in four (3.3%) radiological and five (3.7%) surgical cases. The rate of infection per 1000 catheter-days was 1.9 in radiologically placed catheters and 4.0 in surgically placed ones (p<0.001). Average catheter life-span was similar for the two placement methods (100±23 days). Conclusion Radiological placement is consistently more reliable than surgical placement. There are fewer placement complications and fewer catheter infections overall.     

Prediction of a small internal jugular vein by external jugular vein diameter

The relationship between internal jugular vein diameter as measured with an ultrasound imaging machine (SiteRite, Dymax) and external jugular vein diameter was studied in 50 anaesthetised patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. There was an inverse correlation between external jugular vein diameter and internal jugular vein diameter ( r  = −0.47, p < 0.001). All patients with an external jugular vein diameter of 7 mm or greater had an internal jugular vein diameter of less than 15 mm. No patient with an external jugular vein diameter of less than 7 mm had an internal jugular vein diameter of less than 20 mm. No other patient dimension (height, weight, body mass index, neck circumference) predicted internal jugular vein size. These results suggest that a large external jugular vein (i.e. 7 mm or greater in external diameter) may be associated with a small internal jugular vein. A size 5.0-mm internal diameter tracheal tube may be used to provide a rapid assessment of external jugular vein diameter.     

Velocity and flow quantitation in the superior sagittal sinus with ungated and cine (gated) phase-contrast MR imaging

Normal blood flow and velocity in the superior sagittal sinus were measured in 30 patients. A fast two-dimensional ungated phase-contrast (PC) pulse sequence was compared with a peripherally gated cine PC technique for velocity and flow quantitation. The same imaging parameters were used for both methods. Measured values for mean velocity and flow obtained with the two methods were compared by using regression analysis and t testing. For blood flow, the correlation coefficient was 0.976. For velocity measurements, r was 0.950. Mean flow was 285 mL/min ± 19 with the ungated PC method and 281 mL/min ± 19 with the cine PC method. The mean velocities measured with the two methods were 12.94 cm/sec ± 1.1 and 13.59 cm/sec ± 1.1, respectively. There was no significant difference (paired t test) between the methods for mean flow or velocity data. This was true even though flow in the superior sagittal sinus is moderately pulsatile, as shown with the cine PC technique. The ungated PC method provided these data in 13 seconds versus 3.5 minutes for the cine PC method.     

Strecker stent in stenotic hemodialysis Brescia-Cimino arteriovenous fistulas

Flexible tantalum stents (Strecker) were used as an adjunct to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the treatment of stenotic arterial or venous limbs of Brescia-Cimino hemodialysis fistulas. The diagnostic procedure was performed using retrograde fistulography. After PTA with unsatisfactory results, stents were placed in 5 patients with significant residual stenoses and poor fistula function. Within the mean follow-up period of 6.4 months (range 3–10 months) all fistulas were functioning. We conclude that Strecker stent is useful in the treatment of stenotic hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulas as an adjunct to PTA.     

Studies in stress-relaxation and distensibility characteristics of small skin veins in vivo by a combined photoelectric-photographic and plethysmographic technique

Summary The phenomena of stress-relaxation and capillary outward filtration were studied in the isolated rabbit ear, perfused with blood at constant flow. The volume increase, as measured by the plethysmograph, following elevation of venous outflow pressure to 20 mm Hg for 4 min was predominantly due to capillary outward filtration in the norepinephrine constricted vascular bed (0.5 g/min). With papaverine induced dilatation (0.08 mg/min) this persistent volume increase could be attributed mainly to stress-relaxation of the veins. Engorgement of venous vessels as well as capillary outward filtration led to an increase of the ear volume that is measured by the plethysmographic technique. The photographic-photoelectric measurement of venous diameter changes was used in these experiments to distinguish intravascular from extravascular volume changes. The moduli of volume elasticity were calculated for smaller and larger veins (mean diameter 0.133 mm and 0.553 mm) with norepinephrine constriction. It has been demonstrated that the smaller veins were about seven times less distensible than the larger veins.This investigation was supported by Contract F44620-71-C-0117 of the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, European Office of Aerospace Research (OAR), U.S. Air Force and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.This work was presented in part at the 39. Tagung der Deutschen Physiologischen Gesellschaft, Erlangen, April 1972 [Pflügers Arch. Suppl.332, R 54 (1972)].     

Pontine veins. MRI cross-sectional anatomy

Summary The pons is covered by a rich venous network offering numerous vascular landmarks in MRI and during surgery. We present an original study of the veins as they appear on MR multiplanar scans after gadolinium IV injection. This prospective study is based on 40 consecutive patients with normal posterior fossa structures. One of the major venous collectors follows the pons: the superior petrosal v. was identified on MRI in 95% of our cases. Its hooklike extremity drains into the superior petrosal sinus. The inferior petrosal v. was never identifiable. The superficial pontine venous network are identified in 72.5% of cases in the axial plane and were organised in longitudinal and transverse collectors, whose MR aspects are presented here.

Les veines du pont. Anatomie sectionnelle en IRM

Résumé Le pont, enveloppé des citernes subarachnoïdiennes, est parcouru à sa surface par de nombreux vaisseaux qui constituent autant de points de repère topographiques en IRM que de rapports chirurgicaux. Nous présentons une étude de l'anatomie veineuse en coupe telle que l'IRM la révèle après injection de Gadolinium. Cette étude prospective comporte 40 patients indemmes de lésion de la fosse crânienne postérieure. Le pont est longé par un des collecteurs majeurs du tronc cérébral : la v. pétreuse supérieure, identifiée dans 95 % des cas. Elle se jette par un crochet caractéristique dans le sinus pétreux supérieur. La v. pétreuse inférieure n'a jamais été reconnue. Les vv. pontiques forment un réseau maillé visible dans 72,5 % des cas en coupes axiales et comportant des axes transversaux et longitudinaux dont les critères d'identification sont présentés selon le plan de coupe.

目的探讨上矢状窦中后1/3脑膜瘤术中保护回流静脉的方法及意义,为确保手术成功提供参考依据。方法回顾性分析本院神经外科2011年8月至2013年8月收治的50例上矢状窦旁中后1/3脑膜瘤患者的临床资料,按照是否保护回流静脉分为观察组(36例)和对照组(14例)。观察组患者行静脉磁共振血管成像(MRV)检查,明确上矢状窦通畅程度与脑膜瘤周边静脉回流代偿情况,术中尽量保护回流静脉及正常脑组织,妥善处理受累矢状窦。对照组患者采用传统手术方式治疗,未评价矢状窦通畅情况,未保护回流静脉。依据Simpson标准评价肿瘤切除程度,比较两组患者肿瘤全切率、死亡率、对症治疗及随访情况。结果两组患者均顺利完成手术,观察组患者肿瘤全切除34例(94.44%),对照组患者肿瘤全切除10例(71.43%),两组均未出现死亡病例,观察组患者手术效果明显优于对照组,差异具有显著性(P<0.05)。结论上矢状窦中后1/3脑膜瘤术前行MRV检查,术中保护回流静脉可提高肿瘤全切除率,改善患者的生存质量。     

Jugular Venous Flow Quantification Using Doppler Sonography

A consensus on venous flow quantification using echo spectral Doppler sonography is lacking. Doppler sonography data from 83 healthy individuals were examined using manually traced transverse cross-sectional area and diameter-derived cross-sectional area obtained in longitudinal view measurements of the internal jugular vein. Time-averaged velocity over a 4-s interval was obtained in the longitudinal plane using manual tracing of the waveform. Manual and computer-generated blood flow volume calculations were also obtained for the common carotid artery, for accuracy purposes. No differences were detected between semi-automated and manual blood flow volume calculations for the common carotid artery. The manual calculation method resulted in almost twofold larger venous internal jugular vein flow measurements compared with the semi-automated method. Doppler sonography equipment does not provide accurate automated calculation of venous size and blood flow. Until further technological development occurs, manual calculation of venous blood flow is warranted.
