A female case with Down syndrome and non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder

Although the prevalence of a learned voiding dysfunction and non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder (NNB), which is one type of dysfunctional elimination syndrome, is considered to be relatively rare, the association of NNB with Down syndrome (DS) has been elucidated in male patients. We herein describe the occurrence of NNB in an adult female with DS. The diagnosis was confirmed after completely ruling out any neurological or anatomical anomalies that could be related to a lower urinary tract dysfunction. She had renal dysfunction and multiple obstructive uropathies for which clean intermittent catheterization was successfully introduced.     

Liver and lung resection for colorectal metastasis

Aim: To examine the survival benefit of liver and lung resection for colorectal metastasis and the potential prognostic factors that affect patient survival. Methods: All patients who had resection of lung or liver metastasis for colorectal metastasis in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong from 1995 to 2004 were retrospectively reviewed. The overall and disease‐free survival was analysed, in particularly between liver and lung metastasis. All factors that may have affected the survival were entered into Cox's proportional hazards regression model to identify significant variables associated with survival. Results: At 5 years, the overall survival of patients who had resection of lung and liver metastasis was 44% and 38%, respectively; the disease‐free survival was 26% and 24%, respectively. Overall and disease‐free survival of patients with resection of lung metastasis was comparable to those with resection of liver metastasis. The differentiations of primary tumour and time to metastasis were shown to be significant prognostic factors influencing overall survival. Those patients with systemic chemotherapy after resection of colorectal metastasis demonstrated a significantly higher probability of overall survival. Conclusion: Resection of lung and liver metastases from colorectal origin was safe and both procedures improved survival. The use of chemotherapy after resection of metastasis significantly improved the overall survival.     

25例垂体ACTH腺瘤的临床分析

目的分析和探讨垂体促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)腺瘤的临床特点和治疗方法。方法回顾性分析从2004年1月至2006年3月在我院接受治疗的25例垂体ACTH腺瘤患者的临床特点、治疗经过及预后。结果垂体ACTH腺瘤患者的临床症状和肿瘤的大小密切相关,微腺瘤(直径≤10 mm)患者以Cushing综合症征为主要临床表现,而大腺瘤(直径>10 mm)患者则以压迫症状为主。有无Cushing综合征的表现和腺瘤的直径呈负相关(P<0.05)。本组25例垂体ACTH腺瘤中21例具有侵袭性。垂体ACTH腺瘤患者主要以育后女性为主。该病首次经蝶手术后近期疗效显著。结论垂体ACTH大腺瘤以压迫症状为主,微腺瘤则以Cushing综合征表现为主。该肿瘤大多数具有侵袭性倾向,育后女性是高危人群。经蝶显微手术是垂体ACTH腺瘤的首选治疗方法。

支撑喉镜下射频加囊肿揭盖术治疗会厌囊肿的临床研究

目的探讨囊肿揭盖术、囊肿揭盖术＋射频、射频＋囊肿揭盖术治疗会厌囊肿3种术式的疗效及其优劣。方法57例随机分为3组：单纯囊肿揭盖术组、囊肿揭盖术＋射频治疗组及射频＋囊肿揭盖术组。3组均采用表面麻醉＋强化麻醉经支撑喉镜下手术。随访6-12个月，比较3组总有效率、术中出血量及手术时间。结果3种术式总有效率均为100％，差异无显著性。囊肿揭盖术＋射频治疗组、射频＋囊肿揭盖术组与对照组比较，术中出血量、手术时间的差异均有显著性；囊肿揭盖术＋射频治疗组、射频＋囊肿揭盖术组术中出血量、手术时间相比较，差异均有显著性。结论3种术式均是治疗会厌囊肿的有效方法。射频＋囊肿揭盖术具有出血更少、手术时间更短、病人痛苦更小等优点，值得临床推广应用。     

人脑外伤后皮层核因子-κB的表达

目的 探讨核因子-κB（nuclear factor—κB，NF—κB）在人创伤性脑损伤（traumatic brain injury，TBI）后挫伤皮层中的表达情况，包括表达位置、表达强度和表达时相。方法 挫伤区皮层的标本来自24例TBI患者，取样时间为伤后5h-5d，利用凝胶电泳迁移分析法（electrophoretic mobility shift assay，EMSA）和免疫组化技术测定NF—κB的活性和表达强度。结果 在人TBI后的挫伤区皮层中，NF—κB表达明显上调，表达高峰为伤后48—72h，NF—κBP65主要在血管内皮细胞和神经胶质细胞中表达，NF—κBP50主要在神经胶质细胞和少量神经元中表达，NF—κBP65的表达强度高于NF—κBP50。结论 NF—κB在人TBI后的挫伤区皮层中表达上调，提示其可能在TBI后的病理生理过程中起着重要作用。     

浅谈启发式教学法在肾脏病学教学中的应用

随着素质教育的全面推进,以教师为主导、学生为主体,通过学生主动学习、促进主体个性发展的教学思想和教学方法日渐重要。教学方法的改革已由过去的以"教"为重心,逐步转移到以"学"为重心,教学方法由过去的单一化向多元化发展。良好的教学方法有利于向学生传授知识,培养学生的学习兴趣、学习能力,激励学习动机。文章根据教学实践,就启发式教学法在肾脏病教学中的具体应用进行了分析。     

组织扩张术皮肤胶原的代谢改变

目的：研究常规扩张（ＩＴＥ）和持续快速扩张（ＣＴＥ）对皮肤胶原代谢的影响。方法用白色小家猪制作组织扩张术动物模型，用Ｇｏｒｄｅｌａｄｚｅ法测定血清和扩张组织的羟脯氨酸（ＨＰ）含量，藻酸盐印模材膜片法测量标记区面积；光镜测量真皮厚度。结果：ＩＴＥ组血清ＨＰ含量升高，０．８倍，ＣＴＥ组升高１．２倍，ＩＴＥ和ＣＴＥ组皮肤含量与正常皮肤相同，组织中ＨＰ总量均明显升高，持续扩张皮瓣组（ＣＴＥＦ）术后４ｗｋ皮     

先天性输精管缺如患者生育问题的研究

自1988年至1991年共收治25例先天性输精管缺如患者,在20例行手术诊治术中15例用自体睾丸精索鞘膜制成人工精池囊,5例又在囊内放置用微涤纶制成的异质管。术中抽吸10例附睾内精子进行快速活化,其中5例活化成功,行人工授精,结果2例怀孕,1例已生育一女孩。认为该症是有生育可能的,但需要解决3个问题:(1)采用显微外科技术把附睾内部活着的精子取出一定数量;(2)选配好快速活化剂使精子快速活化成功;(3)用患者的精浆培养自己的精子。建议对梗阻性无精子症在用手术疏通精路的同时可以采用快速活化精子技术行人工授精,以提高生育的效果。     

AⅡ受体拮抗剂ACEI对慢性肾衰患者血浆ANF及RAS的影响

目的了解血管紧张素Ⅱ受体拮抗剂(ATRA)和转换酶抑制剂(ACEI)对慢性肾衰(CRF)高血压患者血浆心钠素(ANF)和肾素*.血管紧张素系统(RAS)的影响。方法受试者口服氯沙坦(Los组)或福辛普利(Fos组)连续12周，于治疗前和治疗后第4、8及12周测定坐位舒张压(SiDBP)、血清尿素氮(BUN)、血清肌酐(SCr)、ANF、血管紧张素Ⅰ(AⅠ)和血管紧张素Ⅱ(AⅡ)。用SPSS7.0软件作统计分析。结果经12周治疗，两组患者SiDBP均降至目标值。Fos组与治疗前比较，AⅡ下降，ANF和Scr升高(P<0.01)。Los组AⅡ明显升高(P<0.01)，ANF在短暂升高后降至治疗前水平，Scr无变化。结论ACEI可能对CRF高血压患者肾内灌注压有影响，ANF动态改变可作为肾内灌注压变化的指标之一。ATRA对肾内灌注压影响小于ACEI。
