骨纤维结构不良的诊断和治疗进展

目的:对长期以来关于骨纤维结构不良大量相关研究及文献进行回顾,综述骨纤维结构不良的诊断和治疗的最新进展。资料来源:通过计算机互联网检索OVID数据库1966-01/2006-10关于骨纤维结构不良的文献,检索词:Osteofibrous dysplasia,限定语言种类为English。同时检索1994-01/2006-10中国全文期刊数据库有关骨纤维结构不良的文献,检索词为:骨纤维结构不良,限定语言种类为中文。资料选择:选择与骨纤维结构不良相关的观察对比研究、经验总结、个案报道、最新研究进展等文献,力求资料全面,排除重复研究。资料提炼:共收集相关国内外文献41篇,排除重复性研究11篇,采用30篇,包括关于骨纤维结构不良定义、发病机制、病理、诊断及治疗等。资料综合:①骨纤维结构不良是一种起源于纤维组织的良性骨肿瘤。发病率低、误诊率高。目前具体发病机制不明,现认为与常染色体显性遗传有关。②骨纤维结构不良好发于胫骨,症状为局部肿块。特征性影像学表现为胫骨中段前侧皮质膨胀性密度减低。确诊方法为病理检查。重点与骨纤维异常增殖症、造釉细胞瘤相鉴别,现有大量研究证明该病与造釉细胞瘤有联系。③治疗上过去认为10岁以前应保守治疗,10岁后选择手术治疗,目前倾向于早期骨膜外切除手术治疗。结论:骨纤维结构不良发病率低,对该病认识较少,误诊率较高,重点需与骨纤维异常增殖症、造釉细胞瘤相鉴别,应提高对该病的认识与重视程度,对可疑者行病理检查,确诊者行骨膜外切除,切除范围较大的病例行重建手术。     

Occult malignant breast lesions in 114 patients: relationship to age and the presence of microcalcifications

This study evaluates the mammographic findings in 352 patients, aged 30-85 years, who underwent spot localization and biopsy for evaluation of nonpalpable breast abnormalities. Malignancy was found at biopsy in 114 cases. The mammographic appearance (specifically, whether grouped microcalcifications, mass, or both were present) was correlated with patient age and histologic findings (specifically, whether the pathologic changes were infiltrating or noninfiltrating in nature). The prevalence of malignant conditions increased directly with age. The presence of grouped microcalcifications as the sole indicator of malignancy was seen in 100% (seven of seven) of the patients in the 30-39-year age group, 64% (18 of 28) in the 40-49-year age group, 37% (11 of 30) in the 50-59-year age group, 30% (seven of 23) in the 60-69-year age group, and 23% (six of 26) in the 70-85-year age group. Of the 49 tumors that were manifested solely as microcalcifications, 34 (69%) were noninfiltrating. The finding of grouped microcalcifications should be aggressively investigated, since it may indicate noninfiltrating carcinoma in an early stage, when the potential for cure is greatest.     

The fate of the open canalicular system in surface and suspension- activated platelets

We have examined the movement of fibrinogen-gold (fgn-Au) complexes in platelets activated in suspension and by surface contact. Fgn-Au probes did not react with resting cells but were bound to the external membrane of platelets in suspension 5 seconds after addition of 1 U/mL of thrombin. At intervals over a period of 5 to 20 minutes, fgn-Au probes moved from the cell surface to peripheral and then deep channels of the open canalicular system (OCS). When platelets were surface activated by exposure to carbon-stabilized, formvar-coated grids for 5 to 20 minutes and then exposed to fgn-Au complexes for 5 minutes, probes were also observed in the OCS. At 5 minutes, over 40% of the platelets had concentrated fgn-Au in their OCS. Results after 10 minutes revealed 25% with gold-filled channels, 16% after 15 minutes, and 5% after 20 minutes. The decrease in frequency of OCS staining correlated with the increasing frequency of spread platelets, suggesting that tension produced by spreading may cause collapse of the OCS or that the OCS may evaginate onto the platelet during spreading. To evaluate the latter hypothesis, platelets were initially exposed to grids for 5 minutes and then incubated with fgn-Au for intervals of 5 to 20 minutes. The frequency of platelets with fgn-Au concentrated in the OCS was greatest at 5 minutes (44%) and decreased at the same rate as the frequency of spread platelets increased. Only 14.7% of the cells contained fgn-Au in the OCS after 20 minutes. These were primarily dendritic in form, while fully spread platelets rarely contained an OCS filled with the probe. The study indicates that fgn-Au particles are cleared to channels of the OCS independent of the mechanism of platelet activation. Fgn-Au that has been concentrated in the OCS at early stages of surface activation can be externalized during platelet spreading but remain internalized in suspension-activated cells. The OCS represents a membrane reservoir that can be evaginated onto the platelet surface during interaction with surfaces.
