Sonographic diagnosis of early recurrence after inguinal herniorrhaphy: Potential pitfalls

Three patients who presented with scrotal swelling within a few days of inguinal herniorrhaphy are reported. Ultrasonography scans performed in these patients all demonstrated features suspicious of recurrence of hernia. One patient underwent surgical exploration, which revealed only a scrotal haematoma without evidence of recurrent hernia. The other two patients were managed conservatively because clinically the swellings were regarded to be more compatible with haematoma. Both patients had subsequent resolution of the scrotal swelling with no clinical evidence of recurrence of hernia on follow‐up. It is concluded that sonographic diagnosis of recurrence of hernia shortly after inguinal herniorrhaphy can occasionally be misleading.     

鞘内注射吗啡加可乐定对切口痛大鼠脊髓背角蛋白激酶A催化亚单位表达的影响

Objective To observe the effect of intrathecal clonidine plus morphine on expression of protein kinase A (PKA) catalytic subunit in the spinal dorsal horn in a rat model of incisional pain. Methods Eighty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into five groups: sham group, control group, pre-incisional morphine 2.5 μg group, pro-incisional clonidine 5 μg group and preincisional morphine 2.5 μg plus clonidine 5 lag group (n=16). lntrathecal catheter and the model of incisional pain were pro-duced according to Yaksh and Brennan's described method respectively. Changes of pain behavior were assessed by mechanical with-drawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency(TWL). The expressions of PKA catalytic subunit in the spinal dorsal horn were assessed by immunohistochemical method and western blotting analysis. Results Compared with sham group, MWT and TWL in control group were decreased significantly at 2 h after incision (P<0.01) and the number of positive cells and protein expression of PKA catalytic subunit in the spinal dorsal horn were increased significantly in control group (P<0.01). Compared with control group, MWT and TWL in pre-incision morphine 2 μg plus clonidine 5 lag group were increased significantly at 2 h after incision (P<0.01) and the number of positive cells and protein expression of PKA catalytic subunit in the spinal dorsal horn were decreased significantly in pre-incision morphine 2 μg plus clonidine 5 μg group (P<0.01). However, MWT, TWL and the number of positive cells and pro-tein expression of PKA catalytic subunit in the spinal dorsal horn changed with no statistical significance in pre-incisional morphine 2.5 μg group and pre-incisional clonidine 5 μg group compared with control group. Conclusion lntrathecal clonidine significantly enhances the antinociceptive effect of intrathecal morphine in a rat model of incisional pain, which might be associated with inhibi-tion of the increased expression of PKA catalytic subunit in spinal cord.     

两种阴道缩窄术矫正阴道松弛症的疗效分析

目的探讨改良阴道后壁修补术和阴道后壁环肌紧缩术的手术要点和效果,评价两种手术的优点及适应证。方法将42例不同程度阴道松弛的患者分为两组,其中24例行改良阴道后壁修补术,18例行阴道后壁环肌紧缩术,分析观察两组患者手术时间、术中出血量、术后伤口愈合情况,1年后评价两组患者的性生活满意度及阴道的松紧度。结果两种手术方法的手术时间、术中出血量及术后伤口愈合情况无明显差异,但1年后的远期效果包括性生活满意度和阴道的松紧度有明显差异。结论矫正阴道松弛症的目的不仅要达到解剖的恢复,更重要的是恢复功能。要根据患者的实际情况选择最佳的手术方法(A组优于B组)。     

肢体创伤性动脉病变的介入诊断与治疗

目的 评价介入放射方法诊断治疗肢体创伤性动脉病变的效果。方法 8例肢体动脉创伤伴有远端肢体缺血改变，其中2例伴大出血，伤者接受了选择性患肢动脉造影检查；7例随后进行了动脉病变的血管腔内介入治疗。治疗方法包括动脉分支或主干栓塞、动脉内溶栓和血管内支架置放。结果 血管造影精确显示了动脉破裂、假性动脉瘤、血栓形成或动脉内膜损伤等病变性质。3例假性动脉瘤、3例动脉血栓病变综合应用介入治疗方法取代外科手术获得满意疗效。1例溶栓后证实动脉破裂和1例造影证实动静脉瘘后转手术治疗。结论 介入放射与外科方法相结合能明显提高肢体动脉创伤的诊断治疗水平，有效挽救伤者肢体和生命。     

改良开放性手术治疗巨大良性前列腺增生症

目的探讨巨大良性前列腺增生症的开放性手术治疗方法及效果。方法回顾分析16例巨大良性前列腺增生症,年龄61~88岁,平均74岁。作耻骨上经膀胱前列腺切除术。结果手术均成功;手术时间35~65min,出血量100~200mL,术后前列腺重量为200~520g,平均215g;膀胱冲洗2~3d,拔导尿管5~7d;术后3d再出血1例,经DSA同侧髂内血管栓塞止血成功,排尿困难1例,短期尿失禁1例,其余患者术后均排尿通畅,控尿良好。结论开放性手术治疗巨大良性前列腺增生症,其梗阻解除彻底,是一种合理的治疗方法。恰当的手术方法是提高疗效及降低并发症的关键。     

发挥远程教育优势推进医学继续教育发展

《教育部关于加强高校网络教育学院管理提高教学质量的若干意见》中强调指出：高校网络教育学院要以在职人员的继续教育为主，要充分发挥网络教育的优势，为在职人员更新知识、增强技能、不断学习、不断提高提供良好的服务。然而，要使医学院校在开展继续教育中发挥更大的作用，推进医学继续教育的发展，远程教育不仅是解决这一问题的有效途径，而且将成为开展医学继续教育的强大动力。     

新型头孢菌素类抗生素

近10年来，抗生素耐药性问题日趋严重。头孢菌素类抗生素因具广谱抗菌活性和低毒性而常被用于治疗细菌感染，而且能安全地用于那些对青霉素过敏而依赖于此类抗生素的病人，但由于其耐药菌株的不断增加，这类药物用于一线常规治疗已明显减少，甚至许多医疗机构已弃用，而改用其他抗生素替代则往往达不到理想疗效且毒性增加。

A PC-based free text retrieval system for health care providers

The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and development of the Clinical Practice Library of Medicine (CPLM). CPLM is an investigational project aimed at providing health care practitioners with critical in-depth information similar to that obtained from a medical reference library or consultant. When used in conjunction with the physician's knowledge, CPLM can provide valuable diagnostic prompting information to assist in rapidly reaching a suitable diagnosis for timely administration of appropriate treatment. This system may also be used to assist paramedical professionals working in remote areas where other expert medical assistance may not be available.
