Pain levels experienced with activities after cardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND: Acute pain is common after cardiac surgery and can keep patients from participating in activities that prevent postoperative complications. Accurate assessment and understanding of pain are vital for providing satisfactory pain control and optimizing recovery. OBJECTIVES: To describe pain levels for 5 activities expected of patients after cardiac surgery on postoperative days 1 to 6 and changes in pain levels after chest tube removal and extubation. METHODS: Adults who underwent cardiac surgery were asked to rate the pain associated with various types of activities on postoperative days 1 to 6. Pain levels were compared by postoperative day, activity, and type of cardiac surgery. Pain scores before and after chest tube removal and extubation also were analyzed. RESULTS: Pain scores were higher on earlier postoperative days. The order of overall pain scores among activities (P < .01) from highest to lowest was coughing, moving or turning in bed, getting up, deep breathing or using the incentive spirometer, and resting. Changes in pain reported with coughing (P = .03) and deep breathing or using the incentive spirometer (P = .005) differed significantly over time between surgery groups. After chest tubes were discontinued, patients had lower pain levels at rest (P = .01), with coughing (P = .05), and when getting up (P = .03). CONCLUSIONS: Pain relief is an important outcome of care. A comprehensive, individualized assessment of pain that incorporates activity levels is necessary to promote satisfactory management of pain.     

《灵枢·官针》刺痹法研究

《灵枢·官针》是关于中医古典针法的经典文献,其中所论刺痹法,内容丰富,手法多样,至今对临床仍有重要指导意义.刺痹法共有九种,毛刺法刺皮肤治浮痹,合谷刺刺肌肉治肌痹,恢刺与关刺刺筋腱治筋痹,输刺与短刺刺骨治疗骨痹.特殊操作类又有多针、多向刺法的齐刺、傍针刺和烧针刺法的焠刺,以治疗各种经久不愈的痹痛.研究这些古刺法,对于提高痹证的治疗效果,具有一定的指导意义.

儿童无症状尿检异常IgA肾病的临床病理和预后分析

目的 探讨儿童无症状尿检异常的IgA肾病的临床病理特征和预后。 方法 对54例IgA肾病儿童的临床和病理特征进行分析。根据起病时有无临床症状分为无症状尿检异常组和有症状肾炎组。组织病理学分级参照Lee氏和Katafuchi氏半定量积分法。 结果 无症状尿检异常组18例，有症状肾炎组36例。有症状肾炎组尿蛋白量（24 h）明显高于无症状尿检异常组[（2.3±2.2） g比（0.4±0.3） g，P < 0.05]。无症状尿检异常的IgA肾病儿童表现为镜下血尿者，87％有尿微量白蛋白增高。无症状尿检异常IgA肾病患儿病理表现以Lee 氏Ⅰ~Ⅱ级为主，2例表现为Lee氏Ⅳ~Ⅴ级和 5例发生Katafuchi Ⅱ~Ⅲ级肾小管间质病变。有症状肾炎组Lee氏病理分级以Ⅱ~Ⅲ级为主，两者病理分级分布差异无统计学意义（P > 0.05）。全组患儿平均随访（26.9±8.8）月后，1例病理为Lee 氏Ⅴ级患儿进入终末期肾衰竭，其余患儿Scr均无升高1倍以上。 结论 无症状尿检异常的儿童IgA肾病虽临床症状轻微，但可出现病理损害严重的病例，并影响其预后。     

Heubner回返动脉显微外科解剖及其临床应用

目的 :为前交通动脉复合体部位显微手术避免损伤Heubner回返动脉提供相关的应用解剖学资料。方法 :对经双侧椎动脉 (VA)、颈内动脉 (ICA)乳胶灌注的尸头标本 2 2例 ,按翼点入路方向 ,在手术显微镜下解剖观测 2 0例Heubner回返动脉的起点、管径、行径及其毗邻关系。 2例模拟手术操作。结果 :(1)本组观测到 4 3支回返动脉 ,其中 39支Heubher回返动脉 ;4支副Heubner回返动脉。 (2 )Heubner回返动脉 4 6 .5 % (2 0 / 4 3)起于A2 段 ,2 5 .6 % (11/ 4 3)起于A1段 ,2 7.9% (12 /4 3)起于前交通动脉 (ACOA)水平的大脑前动脉 (ACA)。 (3)Heubner回返动脉起点管径 :左侧 0 .81± 0 .2 1mm(0 .35～ 1.17mm) ;右侧 0 .84± 0 .2 6mm(0 .37～ 1.2 1mm)。 (4 )回返动脉发出后 ,与ACA反方向成锐角 ,沿A1上壁、外侧及后内侧 ,越过ICA两分叉 ,经大脑中动脉 (MCA)始段前面穿通入脑 ,少数回返动脉行走于前穿质 (APS)的后部。A1近端 3～ 5mm或中 1/ 3段穿通支少。结论 :在前交通动脉复合体部位手术时 ,A1近端 3～ 5mm或中 1/ 3段夹闭 ,并解剖寻找、剥离Heubner回返动脉 ,可避免损伤Heubner回返动脉及其它穿通支 ,最大限度减少术后并发症     

Carcinoma arising from an epiphrenic diverticulum: a frequently misdiagnosed disease.

Epiphrenic diverticulum is rare, comprising of about 10% of all esophageal diverticula. Carcinoma arising within such a diverticulum is even less common. We report on two patients with squamous cell carcinoma arising from an epiphrenic diverticulum. Some features of malignant change related to the epiphrenic diverticula were misdiagnosed or missed in our cases and other reports due to lack of clinical experience. It is important to exclude the possibility of malignancy as this is vital for surgical planning. Although the prognosis for patients with malignancy arising from an epiphrenic diverticulum is generally poor, a high index of suspicion may increase the chance of cure.     

咬肌与颅面形态的关系

目的探讨咬肌与颅面形态之间的关系，了解咬肌体积与邻近骨骼结构的大小及形态的相关性。方法对40例要求改变脸型者进行磁共振成像（MRI）测量，人体测量，头部正位、侧位和下颌骨曲面断层X线检查，测量并计算咬肌体积（MsV），测量头长（HL）、头宽（HB）、面长（FL）、面宽（FB）、下颌角间宽（IB）、下颌骨体长（CL）、下颌角切线长（MAL）、下颌角角度（JA），计算颜面形态指数FI（FL／FB）、头颅指数C（IHB／HL）。用SPSS11．5软件统计分析MsV与HI。HB、FL、FB、IB、CL、MAL、JA、FI、CI之间的相关性。结果MsV与JA呈明显负相关，与CL、MAL、IB、FB、HL呈明显正相关，与CL、FI、HB无明显相关性。结论咬肌肥大可能是方脸面型的成因之一，是影响面型的重要因素。
