防止椎板切除术后硬脊膜外瘢痕粘连的实验研究

作者在４个平面间隔切除１１只山羊的椎板，分别用硅胶膜、自体游离脂肪片、带蒂肌肉瓣覆盖硬脊膜，一处平面作空白对照。术后４个月组织学检查，结果显示，硅胶膜后方有少许瘢痕组织增生，间质中有炎细胞灶状浸润，硅胶膜与硬膜囊无瘢痕形成，新形成的椎管后壁光滑，硬膜囊无受压；脂肪片被纤维组织取代，周围纤维组织增生轻微，形成菲薄之纤维膜，与硬脊膜容易分离；带蒂肌肉瓣周围形成较多瘢痕与硬脊膜粘连重，肌肉瓣已完全纤维化，空白组形成瘢痕最多，与硬脊膜粘连最重。术后硬膜囊矢状径以硅胶膜组最大，脂肪片组次之，带蒂肌肉瓣组再次之，空白组最小。作者认为，硅胶膜与脂肪片能明显防止椎板切除术后纤维瘢痕粘连对硬膜囊的压迫，在支架诱导作用方面，硅胶膜优于脂肪片，在生物相容性方面脂肪片优于硅胶膜。带蒂肌肉瓣优于对照组，但不及前两者。     

The role of JOA score as an indication for surgical or conservative treatment of symptomatic degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- to medium-term results (up to 2 years) of conservative and surgical treatments of patients with symptomatic lumbar stenosis. To our knowledge, no previous study has provided strict indications for conservative or surgical treatment. We retrospectively studied 184 patients, who were divided into 3 groups according to JOA (Japanese Orthopaedic Association) score. A cutoff JOA score was arbitrarily fixed at 7. Patients with a score ≤7 (n=12; group A) underwent surgery, while patients with a score >7 (n=172) were conservatively treated. Group A included patients surgically treated within two months from diagnosis. Group B consisted of 144 patients who received conservative treatment, while group C (28 patients) represented patients who underwent surgery after a period of failed conservative treatment. The outcomes of surgical and conservative treatments were evaluated after 12 and 24 months, and were rated as satisfactory, not totally satisfactory, not satisfactory or totally unsatisfactory. Conservative treatment consisted of physical, orthotic and drug therapy, whereas surgical treatment included spinal decompression and instrumentation (if indicated), either rigidly or dynamically performed. Surgery was indicated in 22% of all patients and we obtained excellent results in 85% of them. Operative treatment provides excellent results for patients with severe clinical presentation (JOA score ≤7), while individuals with mild to moderate spinal stenosis (JOA score >7) should receive conservative treatment.

尼卡地平控制性降压结合急性高容量血液稀释对腰椎手术患者输血量的影响

目的探讨尼卡地平控制性降压结合急性高容量血液稀释以减少腰椎手术患者输血量的可行性。方法择期椎板减压椎弓根内固定术患者64例，随机分为两组：对照组(Ⅰ组，n=32)和降压稀释组(Ⅱ组，n=32)。两组皆采用气管插管静吸复合麻醉，Ⅱ组麻醉诱导后，应用尼卡地平行控制性降压结合进行急性高容量血液稀释，比较两组患者所输异体血量和术后血红蛋白变化。结果Ⅱ组术中平均出血量比Ⅰ组减少50％，Ⅱ组术中平均输液量比Ⅰ组增加150％，而输血量为零。两组患者术后虽有轻度贫血，但仍在正常范围内。结论应用尼卡地平控制性降压结合急性高容量血液稀释可使行椎板减压椎弓根内固定术患者大量减少异体血的输入。

Lumbar spinal stenosis in a young individual as a result of ligamantum flavum ossification: A case report

INTRODUCTIONSymtomatic lumbar ligamantum flavum calcification is quite rare in the young age group.PRESENTATION OF CASEThe authors report a case of young adult with diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis, presenting with leg pain and neurological deficits. Computerized tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies revealed ossification of the ligamantum flavum as the causative factor of the disease and the patient recovered completely after the decompressive operation.DISCUSSIONIt is emphasized that attention should be given to this rare etiological factor of lumbar spinal stenosis.CONCLUSIONComplete relief can be achieved with early and adequate surgery.     

Surgical Impacts of Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer to the Thoracic and Lumbar Spine

BackgroundSurgery for spinal metastasis is rapidly increasing in frequency with procedures ranging from laminectomy to spondylectomy combined with stabilization. This study investigated the effect of various surgical procedures for spinal metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsA single-center consecutive series of patients who underwent surgery for spinal metastasis of NSCLC were retrospectively reviewed. Patients'' characteristics, radiographic parameters, operative data, clinical outcomes, and complications were analyzed. Surgical outcomes were assessed according to pain and performance status before and after surgery. Overall survival (OS) rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate analysis was performed to detect factors independently associated with OS using a Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsTwenty-one patients were treated with laminectomy, 24 with corpectomy, 13 with spondylectomy (piecemeal or total en bloc fashion), and all procedures were combined with stabilization. Back pain and performance status improved significantly after surgical treatment among the three groups. Revision surgery due to tumor progression at the index level or spinal metastasis at another level were four patients (19.0%) in the laminectomy group, six patients (25.0%) in the corpectomy group, and one patient (7.7%) in the spondylectomy group. A Charlson comorbidity index and the number of spinal metastasis negatively affected OS (hazard ratio [HR], 19.613 and 2.244). Postoperative chemotherapy, time to metastasis, spondylectomy, and corpectomy had favorable associations with OS (HR, 0.455, 0.487, 0.619, and 0.715, respectively).ConclusionPostoperative chemotherapy was the most critical factor in OS of patients with metastatic NSCLC to the spine. An extensive surgical procedure (corpectomy/spondylectomy) with stabilization also could be beneficial for limited patients with spinal metastasis of NSCLC.
