成人成骨细胞与珊瑚羟基磷灰石的体外生物相容性

目的：研究成人骨髓成骨细胞与珊瑚羟基磷灰石（carolline hydroxyapatite,CHA)在体外培养条件下的生物相容性。方法：抽取健康成人骨髓组织，置于含体积分数为10％胎牛血清的DMEM培养基中培养，传代后改用含地塞米松、β-甘油磷酸钠和维生素C的条件培养基培养，分为CHA复合细胞组和单纯细胞组，不同时间用倒置相关显微镜，HE染色光镜及扫描电镜观察，MTT法进行细胞增殖测定，并进行细胞微量蛋白含量和碱性磷酸酶的定量检测，结果：成人骨髓成骨细胞体外培养时复合或不复合CHA均生长良好，表现出典型成骨细胞的形态特征和生物学特性，CHA利于细胞的贴附，生长与增殖，并对细胞的功能无不良影响，结论：CHA是较理想的骨组织工程支架材料，成骨细胞复合CHA用于骨缺损的修复，具有广阔的临床应用前景。     

Good titles makes good articles: designing of English titles for medical papers.]

Based on the experience of the author and an intensive study of the titles of English medical papers written by authors in English-speaking countries, the characteristics and styles of the titles were expounded with well-selected examples. The paper also introduces some practical skills to write good English titles and enumerates some frequently used structures and expressions, which might be helpful for potential Chinese contributors to medical journals.

Endoscopic pterygopalatine space surgery

Although lesions of the pterygopalatine space are uncommon, there are instances in which this relatively inaccessible region must be entered for biopsy or excision of masses. Traditional open approaches to the pterygopalatine space, involving external or intraoral incisions, provide limited visualization and carry associated morbidities. The evolution and advancement of endoscopic sinus surgical technique in recent years has led to its application to anatomic areas outside the strict limits of the sinonasal cavities. Such minimally invasive approaches are safe, effective, and spare unnecessary discomfort to the patient. This article describes the authors' method for performing an endoscopic approach to the pterygopalatine space.     

载瘤动脉闭塞术治疗颅内巨大动脉瘤的探讨

目的总结和探讨脑血管造影和载瘤动脉闭塞在治疗颅内巨大动脉瘤上的作用及特点。方法60例颅内巨大动脉瘤患者,根据其脑血管造影的特点采取血管内介入方法[可脱式球囊和(或)弹簧圈]闭塞载瘤动脉近端53例、闭塞载瘤动脉两端后孤立动脉瘤7例;其中23例闭塞前先行颅内-外血管搭桥术。结果出院时Rankin评分分级:单纯血管内介入治疗组37例中轻残3例,合并颅内-外血管搭桥术组23例中死亡1例、重残2例。1-6年的影像学随访动脉瘤无复发。结论血管内介入结合颅内-外血管搭桥术闭塞载瘤动脉是治疗颅内巨大动脉瘤的方法之一。     

Dysphagia aortica

Three patients with dysphagia caused by compression of the distal esophagus by a tortuous nonaneurysmal atherosclerotic aorta are described. All three patients were elderly women; systemic hypertension and cardiomegaly were present in two patients. Barium studies of the esophagus showed displacement and compression of the distal esophagus by the thoracic aorta. Debilitating dysphagia was treated surgically in one patient. The other two patients had milder symptoms and were managed conservatively. Esophageal manometry in these three patients showed superimposed pulsations and elevated intraluminal pressure just proximal to the lower esophageal sphincter. To evaluate the significance of these manometric findings and their correlation with clinical symptoms, we reviewed manometric tracings in 47 normal subjects. Ten of these subjects had an elevation of baseline intraluminal esophageal pressure as a result of superimposed vascular pulsations. We conclude that (1) compression of the distal esophagus by a tortuous atherosclerotic aorta in the appropriate setting can lead to clinically significant dysphagia and (2) a manometric finding of vascular compression of the esophagus does not necessarily correlate symptomatic dysphagia.
