Uterine lipoleiomyoma: MRI appearances

A case of uterine lipoleiomyoma demonstrated on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is described and usefulness of MRI is discussed in diagnosing this entity. Received: 28 June 1996/Accepted: 25 July 1996     

MRI诊断子宫平滑肌脂肪瘤(附3例报告)

子宫平滑肌脂肪瘤非常少见，临床术前很少能准确定性诊断，尤其不为妇科专家注意。本文收集我院经MRI诊断并手术病理证实的子宫平滑肌脂肪瘤3例，着重探讨MRI诊断的优势及特异性，以提高对该病的认识。     

Uterine Fibroids

Most backaches are due to mechanical derangement of the spine.

An x-ray should always be made to rule out disease and establish a base for evaluating present and future degenerative changes.

Physiologic degeneration of intervertebral disks can produce pain, especially if there is concomitant instability.

Spondylolisthesis produces pain only if the underlying disk deteriorates.

Ruptured disk is not the major problem in low back pain, and operation is not mandatory in all cases.

Incorrect posture can lead to back pain and prevent the natural healing process.     

子宫动脉栓塞术治疗子宫肌瘤

子宫肌瘤是女性生殖系统最常见的良性肿瘤,育龄期妇女的发病率约为 ２０％－２５％,在４０岁以上女性中约占４０％。子宫肌瘤是来源于平滑肌的良性肿瘤,病因不明。通常认为与雌激素、生长激素、黄体酮有关,尤其与雌激素的分泌异常有关。大多数子宫肌瘤不引起症状,仅有１０％～２０％的患者有症状,需要医疗。常见症状包括月经不调、经血过多、盆腔疼痛、下腹坠胀感,部分病人还可导致不孕和流产。传统的治疗方法主要有激素治疗、肌瘤摘除术、冷冻子宫切除术等,但多有一些缺陷。 子宫动脉栓塞术治疗子宫肌瘤是近年发展的新方法,是指用…     

子宫动脉栓塞术治疗子宫肌瘤

子宫肌瘤是女性生殖器最常见的良性肿瘤，呈雌激素依赖性。临床和尸检资料显示：35岁以上妇女中有20％～40％患子宫肌瘤。月经过多为子宫肌瘤最常见的症状，其他常见的症状包括痛经、由于子宫增大引起的腹胀和局部压迫症状等。子宫肌瘤还可导致不孕和晚期流产。     

子宫动脉栓塞治疗症状性子宫平滑肌瘤12例分析

对明确诊断的子宫肌瘤患者 12例 ,应用选择性子宫动脉插管技术行子宫动脉造影 ,明确肿瘤动脉供血后 ,再行双侧子宫动脉栓塞。随访 8～ 12月病灶缩小约 5 0 % 4例 ,缩小 80 % 5例 ,完全消失 3例。治疗后症状完全消失 5例 ,症状缓解 5例 ,经期出血量减少 ;症状缓解明显 2例。经导管子宫动脉栓塞治疗子宫肌瘤疗效确切 ,具有微创、完全等优点     

子宫动脉栓塞术治疗子宫肌瘤的技术应用

目的 探讨子宫动脉栓塞术的方法学，提高手术成功率。方法 对103例经临床，妇检及影像学明确的子宫肌瘤患者行子宫动脉栓塞术，并总结手术操作过程中成功与失败的经验。结果 103例患者207条子宫动脉（1例右侧为双子宫动脉）插管成功206条，插管成功率99.5%。单侧穿刺完成双侧子宫动脉插管的101例。占98.1%。2例行双侧穿刺插管，占1.9%，栓塞子宫动脉204条，栓塞成功率98.6%。3例行单侧栓塞，操作过程中出现子宫动脉痉挛82条。占39.6%。其中2条完全闭塞，2条出现夹层，未发现与返流有关的并发症。结论 熟悉盆腔动脉的解剖特点，规范的操作，选择适宜导管及栓塞物的合理应用对手术成功至关重要。     

子宫动脉栓塞治疗子宫肌瘤32例分析

目的：研究子宫动脉栓塞对子宫肌瘤治疗的临床效果。方法：采用Seldinger技术行一侧或双侧股动脉穿刺，选择性双侧子宫动脉造影，了解子宫肌瘤供血情况，用PVA颗粒和明胶海绵栓塞子宫动脉，至主干栓塞。结果：子宫肌瘤供血丰富，双侧供血者29例，其中一侧优势型20例（64．7％），左右供血均衡型9例（25．9％），单侧供血者3例占9．4％。治疗后随访1－12个月，结果肌瘤均比治疗前缩小，月经量减少至原来的1／3－2／3，贫血及下腹坠胀症状明显改善，月经周期恢复正常，临床有效率约96．8％。结论：选择性子宫动脉栓塞是一种创伤小、临床效果好的新方法。     

Uterine metabolic activity

The substrates of malate oxaloacetic cycle in the uterus and blood hormones (insulin, hydrocortisone, estradiol, progesterone, thyroid hormones) were studied in rabbit experiments. Stationary concentration of the malate oxaloacetic cycle substrata was determined and the role of hormones in the function of this cycle was detected, which helps evaluate the metabolic shifts regulating oxidation in uterine tissue.     

Uterine artery embolization

The use of uterine artery embolization is a new approach in the treatment of uterine fibroids. Embolization is a technique in which blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to fibroids are blocked. This blockage causes the fibroid muscle cells to degenerate and form scar tissue, thus shrinking the fibroid. Usually the fibroid no longer causes symptoms. This minimally invasive procedure involves an overnight hospital stay and results in a reduction of fibroid symptoms. Most women notice the greatest improvement in the first eight weeks. This procedure has been performed only since 1990 and, therefore, long-term results are unknown.
