小角度弯曲针法介入治疗腰5-骶1椎间盘突出症

目的探讨小角度弯曲针穿刺法进行腰5-骶1椎间盘或低位腰4~5椎间盘介入治疗的方法和应用效果。方法对50例明显低于髂嵴的腰4-5或腰5-骶1椎间盘突出症患者采取小角度弯曲针法穿刺椎间盘进行介入治疗。透视下旋转血管机的C型臂,使射线方向与椎间隙平行,将皮肤穿刺点位于距离脊柱中线6~8cm处,常规消毒麻醉;将穿刺针的前端2~3cm向一侧弯曲20°后向椎间盘穿刺,侧位观察接近椎间盘后缘时,将穿刺针弯曲端偏向内侧、上方进入椎间盘后外侧部,然后进行椎间盘内臭氧注射或等离子消融治疗。结果椎间盘穿刺顺利,一次穿刺成功者45例,占90%,穿刺针进入椎间隙后多数与椎间隙平行,利于盘内介入操作(40/50,占80%),仅20%穿刺后针尖位置欠理想,但尚可完成臭氧注射溶核。经穿刺针向盘内注射臭氧分布良好,等离子刀头活动范围适合消融需要,手术后近期有效率96%,无明显穿刺并发症。结论小角度弯曲针法可以避免高位髂嵴对低位椎间盘穿刺的限制,提高穿刺针在椎间盘内的位置精度,有利于顺利施行介入处理,减少穿刺损伤,缩短手术时间。     

Does the Suggested Lightwand Bent Length Fit Every Patient?: The Relation between Bent Length and Patient's Thyroid Prominence-to-Mandibular Angle Distance

Background: To date, no study has explored the effect of bent length on lightwand intubation. For successful intubation in daily practice, the authors found that bent length should be approximated to the patient's thyroid prominence-to-mandibular angle distance (TMD), but some patients have a TMD much shorter than the suggested bent length range. The purposes of this study were to understand TMD distribution in adults and to test the influence of bent length on lightwand intubation.

Methods: The TMD, airway, and demographic data of 379 patients were collected. To test the bent length influence, patients were enrolled in group A (158 patients, TMD <= 5.5 cm) and group B (131 patients, TMD > 5.5 cm) and were intubated randomly using the lower (6.5 cm) and upper (8.5 cm) limits of the suggested range. Success rate and lightwand search time were compared.

Results: In group A, the success rate was 98.8% with 6.5-cm bent length and 78.2% with 8.5-cm bent length (P < 0.05). Search times were 5.7 +/- 2.90 and 8.9 +/- 5.80 s with 6.5- and 8.5-cm bent length, respectively (P < 0.01). In group B, there was no statistical difference in success rate and search time between 6.5- and 8.5-cm bent length.

高血压病患者动态脉压与左心室肥厚的关系

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and the ambulatory pulse pressure and aortic root dimension (AOD) in essential hypertensive patients. METHODS: We monitored the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and applied echocardiography in 107 essential hypertensive patients. Using the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) as an index in evaluating LVH, the patients were divided into 2 groups: 29 cases in the LVH group and 78 in the non-LVH group. RESULTS: The average levels of 24-hour pulse pressure, daytime pulse pressure, nighttime pulse pressure and AOD were significantly different between patients with LVH and without LVH (P < 0.05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the changes in nighttime pulse pressure and AOD were closely related to LVMI (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The pulse pressure and AOD are important factors leading to LVH in patients with essential hypertension.

Lecithin vesicles for topical delivery of diclofenac.

Skin penetration of topically applied diclofenac is important for the treatment of rheumatic diseases and actinic keratoses. We have studied the permeation of diclofenac across human cadaver epidermis in-vitro from four lecithin vesicle formulations and a few marketed semi-solid preparations. The lecithin vesicle formulations were prepared by dissolving the lipid contents (lecithin and sodium cholate) in a 1:1 mixture of methanol-chloroform, evaporating the solvents under vacuum, and hydrating the lipid layer with the drug solution in water or 10% ethanol. The vesicles were sonicated for 5 min to reduce the vesicle size and their size and Zeta potential were characterized. The cumulative amount and maximum flux of diclofenac was 69.7+/-40.3 micrograms and 4.77+/-3.16 micrograms/hcm(2) from lecithin vesicles containing sodium cholate and 10% ethanol, and is the highest of all formulations studied. The cumulative amount and mean maximum flux obtained from other formulations were in the range of 2.46+/-1.98-29.9+/-10.1 micrograms and 0.53+/-0.46-3.61+/-0.86 micrograms/hcm(2). Based on the results, lecithin vesicles of diclofenac appear to be advantageous for the topical delivery of diclofenac.

目的:探讨糖尿病患者进行超声乳化白内障吸除联合人工晶状体植入手术的临床效果。方法:50例(61只眼)糖尿病患者(设为A组)和同期163例(174只眼)血糖正常患者(设为B组)接受超声乳化白内障吸除联合人工晶状体植入手术。糖尿病患者手术前通过饮食疗法、口服药物或肌注胰岛素治疗,使空腹血糖降到 10mmol/L以下。术后随访 1～28个月(平均 8.6个月),复查视力、裂隙灯及眼底检查。结果:术后矫正视力≥0.5者,A组为77.1%;B组为80.5%。两组经统计学处理差异无显著性(P>0.05)。两组术中出现后囊破裂及术后发生角膜水肿和前房渗出等并发症的差异无显著性(P>0.05 )。结论:糖尿病患者进行超声乳化白内障吸除手术前只要有效控制血糖,其手术效果与对照组患者相同。但术后血糖的控制仍然十分重要。眼科学报2003;19:98-100。     

National Study of Emergency Department Visits for Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 1993–2005

Objectives: Little is known about recent trends in U.S. emergency department (ED) visits for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) or about ED management of AECOPD. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of ED visits for AECOPD and to evaluate concordance with guideline‐recommended care. Methods: Data were obtained from National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS). ED visits for AECOPD, during 1993 to 2005, were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD‐9‐CM) codes. Concordance with guideline recommendations was evaluated using process measures. Results: Over the 13‐year study period, there was an average annual 0.6 million ED visits for AECOPD, and the visit rates for AECOPD were consistently high (3.2 per 1,000 U.S. population; P_trend = 0.13). The trends in the use of chest radiograph, pulse oximetry, or bronchodilator remained stable (all P_trend > 0.5). By contrast, the use of systemic corticosteroids increased from 29% in 1993–1994 to 60% in 2005, antibiotics increased from 14% to 42%, and methylxanthines decreased from 15% to <1% (all P_trend < 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed patients in the South (vs. the Northeast) were less likely to receive systemic corticosteroids (odds ratio [OR] = 0.6; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.4 to 0.9). Conclusions: The high burden of ED visits for AECOPD persisted. Overall concordance with guideline‐recommended care for AECOPD was moderate, and some emergency treatments had improved over time.
