超声及应变式弹性成像预测超声引导下腘静脉置入血管鞘用于治疗下肢深静脉血栓形成成功与否

目的 分析超声及应变式弹性成像预测超声引导下置入腘静脉血管鞘治疗下肢深静脉血栓形成(DVT)成功与否的价值。方法 回顾性分析103例接受超声引导下置入患侧腘静脉血管鞘的DVT患者的术前超声资料,比较置入血管鞘失败与成功病例腘静脉超声及应变式弹性成像表现差异;绘制差异有统计学意义超声参数的受试者工作特征曲线,获得其预测血管鞘置入失败的阈值,对每个参数阈值赋值1分,得到联合超声评分,以实际置入结果为标准,评价超声单一参数及联合评分的预测效能。结果 103例中,对100例行单侧、3例行双侧腘静脉置入血管鞘,包括左侧腘静脉71支、右侧35支,共106支腘静脉;对其中95支腘静脉置入血管鞘成功(成功组),11支失败(失败组)。相比成功组,失败组腘静脉内径及腘静脉与腘动脉内径比值均较小,血栓为等或高回声,与血管壁边界模糊,腘静脉应变式弹性评分为硬。以超声单一参数及联合评分预测置入血管鞘成功与否的曲线下面积分别为0.909、0.926、0.865、0.899、0.958及0.940(P均＜0.001)。结论 患侧腘静脉超声及应变式弹性成像能有效预测对下肢DVT患者行超声引导下置入腘静脉血管鞘成功与否。     

Comparison of the prognostic value of F-18 FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters of primary tumors and MRI findings in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy

Purpose

To evaluate the effect of metabolic parameters of pretreatment primary tumor and regional lymph nodes with F-18-FDG PET/CT compared with MRI findings for the prognostic value and disease-free survival (DFS) in locally advanced cervical cancer.

七氟醚对低温全心缺血-再灌注心律失常心肌组织Kir2.1蛋白表达的影响

目的观察七氟醚对低温全心缺血-再灌注心律失常心肌组织Kir2.1蛋白表达的影响。方法健康成年雄性SD大鼠,体重280～320 g,制备Langendorff离体心脏灌注模型24只,K-H液平衡灌流15 min后,随机分为三组:对照组(C组)、低温全心缺血-再灌注组(IR组)和七氟醚组(Sev组),每组8只。C组持续平衡灌流37℃K-H液105 min。IR组K-H液继续灌流15 min后,采用4℃Thomas液20 ml/kg使心脏停跳60 min,心脏周围用4℃的Thomas液进行保护,在心脏停跳30 min时追加注射4℃Thomas液10 ml/kg,在心脏停跳60 min时再灌注K-H液30 min。Sev组灌注液为饱含1 MAC七氟醚的K-H液,其余同IR组。观察并记录再灌注期间心律失常发生情况、心脏复跳时间和心律失常持续时间;记录平衡灌注15 min(T_0)、继续灌注15 min/平衡30 min(T_1)、再灌注15 min/平衡105 min(T_2)、再灌注30 min/平衡120 min(T_3)的左心室前壁外膜层和内膜层心肌单相动作电位(MAP),计算50%和90%单相动作电位时程(MAPD_(50)、MAPD_(90));Western blot法和免疫组织化学法检测心肌组织Kir2.1蛋白相对含量和分布。结果灌注心脏复跳时IR组有6例发生心律失常,2 min内有1例恢复正常节律;Sev组有2例发生心律失常,2 min内有均恢复正常节律;IR组心脏复跳时间、心律失常持续时间明显长于Sev组(P0.05);与T_0和T_1时比较,T_2—T_3时IR组外膜层和内膜层MAPD_(90)明显延长(P0.05);Sev组外膜层MAPD_(90)明显延长(P0.05)。T_2—T_3时Sev组和IR组外膜层和内膜层MAPD_(90)明显长于C组(P0.05),Sev组内膜层和外膜层MAPD_(90)明显短于IR组(P0.05)。IR组Kir2.1蛋白相对含量明显低于C组(P0.05),Sev组Kir2.1蛋白相对含量明显高于IR组(P0.05);C组Kir2.1蛋白呈强阳性表达,且具有规则的分布;IR组Kir2.1蛋白的表达点状分散分布且无规律;Sev组Kir2.1蛋白呈强阳性表达,且具有规则的分布。结论七氟醚降低低温全心缺血-再灌注心律失常的发生,其分子机制可能与Kir2.1蛋白的表达与分布改善有关。     

从温阳透发法论治难治性痤疮

痤疮可辨为阴、阳两证。阳疮者,缘患者劳汗被寒、玄府闭合,汗脂凝聚日久不得外排,蕴热搏结气血而生疮化腐,疮症为热为痛,此为易治;阴疮者,由阳疮转化而来,缘患者外感寒风、内伤生冷,且医者又重用寒凉、失于托透,以至气血冰凝,久不溃脓或溃脓难出,此为难治。根据难治性痤疮临床表现,其多类属于阴疮,以阳虚表郁、邪闭毛窍为致病之关键,其中表郁毛窍、邪闭肌腠为病之标,阳虚阴凝为病之本。治疗当以温阳透发、祛邪外达为法。以麻黄附子细辛汤温阳化阴滞、发阳透毒治其本,待阴邪发越,即用火针强开门户、消疮排脓治其标。标本兼治、针药结合的方法治疗难治性痤疮在临床中能够安全有效地消除痤疮、改善皮损、降低复发率。     

A loxoscelism case received therapeutic apheresis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Loxosceles reclusa (L.reclusa) is known to bite humans, and its venom includes several enzymes that cause clinical symptoms. Loxoscelism, a condition due to being bitten by Loxosceles spiders, commonly known as recluses, can involve a range of clinical conditions, from local cutaneous lesions to severe systemic involvement. The diagnosis of loxoscelism is usually made by anamnesis and clinical findings. Magnetic resonance imaging is recommended for patients at high risk of necrotizing fasciitis. Treatment modalities are still controversial and there is no standardized treatment approach. Reported here, our case of loxoscelism involved a 24-year-old man presenting with a Loxosceles spider bite, dermonecrotic lesion, vomiting, diarrhea, acute renal injury, and rhabdomyolysis, who was successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, therapeutic apheresis, hemodialysis, wound debridement, and cutaneous autografting. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach can be life-saving in spider bites that can cause systemic involvement. Loxoscelism should be considered in patients with skin necrosis, acute renal injury, and rhabdomyolysis.
