Treatment of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation-does resection in the early postnatal period increase surgical risk?

OBJECTIVE: The recent development of fetal ultrasonography has allowed for an increasing number of prenatal diagnoses for congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM). However, the appropriate surgical timing of these patients has not been studied as of yet. The aim of this study is to suggest a safe strategy for the treatment of CCAM by identifying the relationship between the timing of surgery and postoperative outcome. METHODS: Between 1987 and 2003, 40 patients (28 males, 12 females) underwent surgical resection for CCAM. The mean age was 38.6+/-9.1 (2 days-13 years) months. CCAM was diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography in eight patients. Early operations were performed in four out of the eight. Operation was deferred until 2-12 months of age for the remaining four patients. RESULTS: Type I CCAM was found in 20 patients, type II in 20 and no patient exhibited type III. Five patients had associated pectus excavatum anomaly. There were no cases of operative mortality. Seventeen minor postoperative complications developed in 16 patients (40.0%): prolonged chest tube drain in 10, wound infection in 4, and 1 case of pneumonia, empyema and pleural space, respectively. The average hospital stay was 11.8 (6-29) days. During the mean follow-up period of 67.5 months, one patient died of accidental aspiration 7 months after operation during the postoperative recovery course of Ravich operation for pectus excavatum. The remaining patients reported doing well with normal physical activity. All five patients who underwent surgery at the age of under 1 month did not exhibit increased postoperative morbidity. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that surgery for CCAM could be safely performed in all age groups with satisfactory long-term outcomes. It is suggested that early elective surgical correction can be recommended for a patient whose diagnosis was made in utero.     

弱精子症患者精子蛋白的初步研究

目的从蛋白质水平探讨弱精子症患者精子蛋白的改变,以期寻找精子活动力低下的原因。方法运用蛋白凝胶电泳技术分离90例特发性弱精子症患者和30例正常供精者精子标本的总蛋白质,结合免疫印迹技术鉴定差异蛋白,并对试验数据进行统计学分析。结果患者组与对照组精子蛋白表达量存在差异,且患者组中精子活力低下不同严重程度者的蛋白含量也存在差异(P<0.05),对于差异显著条带的Western Blotting分析显示差异蛋白为DDX4。结论精子活力与蛋白质差异表达有关,主要差异蛋白DDX4可作为评估精子活力的生物标志物。     

外科新理念:损伤控制性手术

传统外科的手术操作包括进路、显露、止血、切除、重建、引流等，外科医师应严格遵守操作原则，做到理想完美。但是在现代危重外科中，由于忽视了病人的生理状态，往往手术获得成功，但病人最终仍死亡。因此在外科危重病人，特别是严重损伤病人的救治中，外科医师的理念应从传统的手术治疗模式中摆脱出来，应该将病人的存活率，而不是手术的成功率，放在首要位置。由此产生的“损伤控制性手术”的理念近年来已有了很大的发展，从仅适用于濒死的损伤病人的外科技术拓展为危重病人外科治疗一种新的理念。本文旨在复习文献并结合自己的治疗体会进行介绍。     

食管癌贲门癌术后胸胃排空障碍的临床分析

目的探讨食管癌贲门癌术后胸胃排空障碍的诱因、诊断和治疗。方法回顾性分析1990年1月-2003年12月我院施行1369例食管癌贲门癌切除术的病人临床资料。结果本组病例发生胸胃排空障碍17例,发生率1.24%,其中机械性胸胃排空障碍5例,功能性胸胃排空障碍12例,均发生于术后3～12d,再次手术治疗5例;治愈16例,死亡1例。结论上消化道造影、胃镜是鉴别机械性胃排空障碍和功能性胃排空障碍的重要方法,对食管癌术后机械性胃排空障碍应采取手术治疗,而功能性胃排空障碍采取保守治疗多能好转。     

对耳轮过度前突畸形的整复

对耳轮过度前突为对耳轮的角度过锐，致使耳轮的位置相应后移，表现为与招风耳完全相反的畸形。畸形虽不十分明显，但影响美观。自１９９２年４月开始应用患侧耳廓软骨和耳后皮瓣对５例患者８只外耳进行治疗得到满意效果。认为文中所述方法是矫正对耳轮过度前突畸形的良好方法。     

Effects of blood coagulation factor XIII on the development of experimental cerebral aneurysms in rats

Pathological and experimental studies have shown that cerebral aneurysms develop in part as a result of injury to the blood vessel wall. One of the peculiar aspects of aneurysm development is a defective proliferative or healing response to such injury. To examine this phenomenon, blood coagulation Factor XIII, which is known to enhance the healing process of wounds in general, was given to rats to induce experimental cerebral aneurysms. The rats were subjected to ligation of one common carotid artery and induction of hypertension, and were fed beta-aminoproprionitrile. Two weeks thereafter, Factor XIII was injected intravenously daily for 5 days (10 U/100 gm body weight/day). Twelve days after the start of Factor XIII injections, the rats were sacrificed and examined under light and electron microscopy. In seven of 12 bifurcations which developed small aneurysms, prominent intimal thickening was observed in the aneurysm lumen. In the most advanced cases, the aneurysm lumen was completely filled with proliferated smooth-muscle cells and collagen. In five of nine bifurcations that showed no aneurysm development, apparent intimal thickening was found at the site where aneurysms might be expected to grow. In the group of rats studied for induction of cerebral aneurysms but not given Factor XIII, none of 11 bifurcations with or without aneurysms showed such intimal thickening. The results indicated that the proliferative response at the sites of aneurysm development was modified by exogenous Factor XIII.

脑干听觉诱发电位诊断听神经瘤的假阳性分析

综合分析ＢＡＥＰ各项指标，应用ＣＰＡ病变的ＢＡＥＰ４型诊断标准，从６００例可疑听神经瘤患者中，诊断出ＣＰＡ肿瘤５４例，同时发现４例假阳性。本文的假阳性率为７％（４／５８），较多数文献报道为低。在诊断听神经瘤中，ＢＡＥＰ的峰间期比波的绝对潜伏期准确，只有Ⅰ～Ⅲ峰间期增大所导致的Ⅰ～Ⅴ峰间期增大，才有诊断价值，ＢＡＥＰ只有定位作用，无定性价值，故ＢＡＥＰ诊断听神经瘤必须结合临床表现才有意义。在临床上即使已有明确的长束征时，但ＢＡＥＰ无健侧Ⅳ～Ⅴ波的改变，仍可排除肿瘤的诊断。在ＢＡＥＰ的Ⅳ型中，当健侧Ⅳ～Ⅴ波正常时，应参考复合检查，若其阴性则可排除肿瘤的诊断。     

High susceptibility of analbuminemic rats to neurogenic tumor induction by transplacental administration of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea.

The susceptibilities of Nagase analbuminemic rats (NAR) and control Sprague-Dawley rats (SDR) to N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) were compared. In Experiment I, the rats were given daily subcutaneous injections of 10 mg/kg of ENU for a week from 4 weeks of age. In Experiment II, mother rats were given a single subcutaneous injection of 60 mg/kg of ENU on day 17 of pregnancy and tumor development in their offspring was examined. In Experiment I, the incidence of neurogenic tumors was slightly, but not significantly, higher in NAR than in control rats. In Experiment II, the incidence of total tumors including neurogenic tumors was significantly higher in NAR (40/43, 93.0%) than in SDR (13/61, 21.3%). NAR showed particularly high susceptibility to induction of neurogenic tumors (34/43, 79.1%) and renal tumors (15/43, 34.9%). In an attempt to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the increased susceptibility of NAR to ENU, O6-ethylguanine, a major premutagenic ethylated DNA adduct, was quantitated in fetal brain DNA of NAR and SDR after a pulse exposure to 60 mg/kg ENU. No significant difference in the initial formation or subsequent repair of O6-ethylguanine was observed in the two strains, indicating that abnormality at some later stage(s) of chemical carcinogenesis may lead to the increased susceptibility of NAR to induction of neurogenic tumors.
