Role of exercise treadmill in diagnosing hypertension

Using exercise treadmill testing (ETT), the authors undertook an evaluation of a patient who remained normotensive following termination of two-drug antihypertensive therapy. The hypertensive treadmill results suggest incomplete resolution of the hypertensive state and a potential role of the ETT in adding precision to the diagnosis of hypertension and monitoring control.     

造血干/祖细胞的体外扩增培养研究

利用旋转壁式生物反应器(Rotating wall vessel,RWV)体外培养脐带血干细胞,使其大量扩增,以满足临床应用对造血干/祖细胞的数量与质量要求。从脐带血分离得到的单个核细胞(Mononuclear cells,MNC)在T-flask中培养24h,之后接种到RWV反应器中,培养200h。每24h细胞计数,测量培养基的pH和渗透压变化;在144h和197h测CD34 细胞含量并做CFU-GM半固体培养。有核细胞(Nucleated cells,NC)与CD34 细胞在第197h,分别扩增了435.5±87.6倍和32.7±15.6倍,CFU-GM(Colony-forming unit-granulocyte/macrophage)细胞扩增了21.7±4.9倍。整个培养过程中,RWV反应器中的pH和渗透压都保持在造血细胞最佳的扩增条件内,pH基本保持在7.2~7.4之间,渗透压基本保持在290~310mmol/kg之间。由于旋转壁式生物反应器(RWV)结构上的特殊性,可以保证细胞在悬浮流动的状态下生长,很好地模拟了脐带中的造血微环境,使脐带血造血干细胞在该反应器中短期内得到大量扩增。     

人工破膜对诊断羊水过少的价值

目的 :探讨人工破膜在诊断羊水过少中的意义。方法 :观察组是根据人工破膜时所流出的羊水量判断羊水多少 ;对照组则用同期产前超声检查所见判断羊水多少。以产时所见羊水量作为最终诊断。结果 :人工破膜和超声诊断羊水过少的符合率分别是 79 73 %和 82 76 % ;两者无显著差异 (P >0 0 5 ) ;人工破膜漏诊率 2 84% ,超声是 6 15 % ,两者无显著差异 (P >0 0 5 )。结论 :人工破膜是诊断本病的一种有价值的方法 ,结合超声检查可作为诊断本病的依据     

B超对先天性输尿管狭窄的诊断价值

目的：研究超声诊断在先天性输尿管狭窄中的临床价值。方法：对33例输尿管狭窄病例行B超检测,并与X线、手术结果进行对比。结果：B超对输尿管梗阻定位率为93.9%,疾病诊断的符合率81.8%。结论：B超对先天性输尿管狭窄的诊断有较大的优越性和很好的临床价值。     

孤立性蝶窦病变的诊断与治疗

目的;提高孤立性蝶窦病变的诊断和治疗率。方法;总结使用鼻窦内窥镜诊治孤立性蝶窦病变１２例的全过程。结果：１２例孤立性蝶窦病变的患者的均获准确诊断,使用鼻窦镜行经鼻腔蝶窦手术,有效率为８３．３％,随访６￣２４个月,１０例无复发,复发２例二次手术后治愈;结论：孤立性蝶窦病变患者可用鼻窦内窥镜诊断与治疗。     

足底板对类风湿性关节炎患者足底压的影响

目的 :测定类风湿性关节炎病人足底压 ,评价足底板的生物力学效应。方法 :12名女性类风湿性关节炎病人和 8名健康女性进行年龄和体重匹配。用 F- Scan系统进行动态足底压测量 ,Kistler床反力平台用以校正测量精确性。测量足底峰压和垂直分力 ,评价足底板的生物力学表现。结果 :类风湿性关节炎病人中足底压明显高于健康人。使用足底板后 ,足底总的峰压明显降低 ,前足、后足峰压减低 ,中足峰压增高。而垂直分力改变不大。结论 :足底板能显著降低足底压力 ,使足底压力重分布 ,减轻类风湿足痛。特殊设计的足底板对类风湿足痛的治疗能起重要的作用     

Vagal Nerve Monitoring during Parapharyngeal Space Tumor Removal

The vagus nerve innervates the intrinsic and extrinsic laryngeal musculature as well as the complex pharyngeal plexus. Acute paralysis of this nerve results in dysfunctional speech, deglutition, and airway protection. These untoward effects, which lead to additional infectious and aerodigestive complications, may arise following manipulation of the vagus nerve during the surgical removal of a variety of neoplasms found in the parapharyngeal space.The vagal nerve has been intraoperatively monitored in an effort to maintain its anatomic and functional integrity. Bipolar hook-wire electrodes are introduced transcutaneously through the cricothyroid membrane and are guided into the vocalis muscle by an assistant performing direct laryngoscopy. Continuous, real-time monitoring of the vagal nerve is provided by audio and visual feedback to the operating surgeon. Potentially injurious stretching, heating, and compression of the nerve are easily detected, and monopolar stimulation of the nerve is used to map the nerve's course through the tumor bed.This presentation outlines our technique for vagal nerve monitoring in patients with tumors of the parapharyngeal space and intact preoperative vocal cord mobility. Selected cases are presented and illustrated through intraoperative and postoperative videotapes.
