Intracranial tumors of the first year of life

The introduction of new diagnostic tools for neuroimaging has resulted in the early recognition of congenital brain tumors. In the present report we describe a personal series of 39 children and an International Multicenter Series of 876 children with brain tumors, in whom the diagnosis was obtained during the first 12 months of life. Most of the tumors were located within the supratentorial compartment. In spite of a relatively high operative mortality, surgery still appears to be the more effective therapy. Radiotherapy in this age group is of a scarce value, due to the vulnerability of the infantile brain. At the present time, chemotherapy still plays a controversial role.

Role of cellular retinoic acid binding protein (cRABP) in patients with large bowel cancer

The presence of cellular retinoic acid binding protein (cRABP) was analyzed in 13 consecutive patients with large bowel cancer (one right colon and 12 rectum-sigmoid, classified as three Duke B, eight C, and two D). Specimens of neoplastic tissue and of adjacent mucosa were obtained at surgery, and cRABP was determined by an assay based on incubation of partially purified cytosol with labeled retinoic acid and ultracentrifugation in sucrose density gradients. Sixty-one percent of tumors contained detectable levels of cRABP, whereas 58.3% of normal mucosal specimens were positive for cRABP. Among the positive tumors 62.5% contained cRABP also in the corresponding mucosa; in the group of cRABP-negative tumors, 40% showed cRABP in the adjacent mucosa. No correlation could be established with the grading or the stage of the tumors; however, interestingly, 100% (three cases) of gelatinous carcinomas were cRABP positive. Since cRABP seems to be a character of neoplastic cells contrary to normal ones, it would be interesting to investigate the conditions that influence the presence of this protein in normal appearing mucosa adjacent to carcinoma.     

洁净手术部对建筑设计的需求

功能先进的洁净手术部已成为现代综合医院的重要标志,近年来得到政府、医疗界、工程技术界的重视.2002年12月GB50333-2002"医院洁净手术部建筑技术规范"的国家标准(简称国标)正式颁布.其中对洁净手术部用房规定了主要技术指标,在实施指南中对设备管理做出了要求.随着医疗市场的需求,全国各地投资改造、新建洁净手术部已成为潮流.我院7500平方米洁净手术部(设备层3000平方米,手术区3000平方米,附属区1500平方米)运营近3年的时间接待来访医院百余家.现就使用后对建筑方面的一些建议供大家讨论借鉴:     

TRH、EGF及地塞米松促进未成熟胎肺组织分化及表面活性物质合成的研究

目的 比较TRH、EGF与地塞米松对未成熟胎肺形态发育及表面活性物质水平的影响。方法 在兔妊娠第22－24d或第24－26d分别用TRH、EGF或地塞米松母体静脉注射治病，通过光镜、图像分析及电镜等技术观察胎肺的形态结构，并检测胎肺的磷脂水平。结果 光镜下，TRH、EGF与地塞米松治疗组第25d及27d胎肺肺泡腔、肺泡间隔发育均明显好于对照组；EGF、TRH与地塞米松治疗组第27d胎肺的肺泡腔与肺泡间隔的面积比无明显差异。但EGF和TRH治疗组第25d胎肺的肺泡腔与肺泡间隔之比明显小于地塞米松治疗组。电镜下，三个治疗组第27d胎肺内含有板层体的Ⅱ型上皮细胞数量明显多于对照组，但各治疗组及对照组第25d的胎肺Ⅱ型上皮细胞胞浆内几乎未见明显板层体，相反胞浆内糖原含量却非常丰富。此外，三个治疗组27d胎肺的磷脂水平均明显高于对照组。结论 EGF、TRH及地塞米松在兔妊娠第24－26d母体治疗均能促进胎肺的形态发育和表面活性物质的合成，三种治疗方法对胎肺的影响程序无明显不同；在妊娠第22－24d治疗，地塞米松对胎肺形态结构的促进作用较EGF和TRH更明显，但三者对Ⅱ型上皮细胞分化及表面活性物质的合成均无明显影响。     

神经外科麻醉对体感诱发电位的影响

目的探讨神经外科手术麻醉对体感诱发电位（SEP）的影响,以期为麻醉和手术处理提供依据。方法随机抽取我科17例全麻手术病人,分成颅内疾病手术组（A组）与脊柱、脊髓疾病手术组（B组）,于术前、麻醉（诱导完成）、术始、术中、术毕和术后6个时程连续监测SEP的潜伏期、波幅及波形并记录。结果麻醉后SEP潜伏期延长5.96%,波幅下降24.00%,未出现波形消失的情况。结论麻醉抑制SEP,表现为潜伏期延长和波幅下降,但未出现波形消失的情况。     

齿槽裂修复方法的研究进展

目的 探讨齿槽裂修复治疗的目的、方法以及治疗时机的选择。方法 查阅1950年至2006年有关齿槽裂修复的文献，归纳文献中报道的不同方法，并评价其各自的优缺点。结果 齿槽裂修复的主要目的：关闭口鼻瘘；建立稳定、连续的上颌骨牙弓；为牙齿萌出提供基础；为上唇和鼻底提供稳定支架。主要治疗方法：植骨术；牵引成骨技术；组织工程骨和生长因子应用；引导骨再生技术。患者最佳的手术治疗时机是9～11岁时混合牙列期。结论 在9～11岁混合牙列期手术，以髂骨松质骨为移植材料被认为是修复齿槽裂的主要手段。牵引成骨技术、组织工程技术和引导骨再生技术，将是齿槽裂修复的新方向。
