PR01“A PICTURE SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS”– THE USE OF DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE INTERNET IN MONITORING FREE TISSUE TRANSFER

Purpose Post operative monitoring is crucial for the success of microsurgical free tissue transfer. Sophisticated and expensive methods are available for monitoring. We propose a novel technique using digital photography and the internet as a reliable and cost effective method to monitor free tissue transfers. Methods 163 micro‐vascular procedures were monitored using this technique over 8 months. Serial photographs taken to show flap color. Capillary refill time, pin prick‐ bleed time and color and hand held Doppler signal was recorded in the movie mode of a standard 5 mega pixel camera with duration of 15 seconds. Data was sent to the surgeon at regular intervals and or as deemed necessary. Results Analysis of the 67 cases is presented. 5 re‐explorations were done. The early diagnosis of venous congestion was possible using this technique. Timely intervention contributed to the success of the re‐explorations and these flaps could be salvaged. The file size of images was in the range of 1 MB–6 MB. The file size of an entire set of images ranged about 7 MB–9 MB. These were sent across the ADSL internet lines. Conclusion The use of the digital images and the internet allow reconstructive surgeons to have a reliable picture of the state of their free tissue transfers. This permits decrease in observer error and saves valuable time which otherwise needs to be spent to verify situations of doubt and offers an ideal solution to the logistic problem of having to visit the patient in case of doubt.     

肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤23例并文献复习

目的探讨肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤的诊治方法.方法回顾性分析23例肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤患者的临床资料并结合文献讨论其诊断与治疗问题.结果术前误诊为肾癌3例,23例均行不同手术治疗,术后病理证实为肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤,术前选择性肾动脉栓塞或术中低温下阻断肾蒂可显著减少出血和不必要的肾切除.结论B超、CT是诊断本病的主要检查方法,彩超具有较好的良性疾病提示率,术中诊断不明者行多点取材冰冻切片具有重要意义,手术原则是尽可能保留肾单位.     

Reactivation of dormant lumbar methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis after 12 years.

The adequate treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) osteomyelitis has intrigued clinicians for some time. As the resistance of these pathogens, coupled with the increase in community-acquired cases, continues steadily to rise, clinicians are finding it useful to employ multi-modal approaches for efficacious treatment. The authors present a single case report of a patient with recurrent MRSA osteomyelitis, lumbar paraspinal and epidural abscess. He was found to have decreased muscle strength and was hyporeflexic in the involved extremity. Serum testing demonstrated MRSA bacteremia. Neuroimaging studies revealed evidence of paraspinal abscess and a presumed herniated nucleus pulposus at the L5/S1 interspace with significant nerve root compromise. Despite antimicrobials, his symptoms persisted, necessitating surgical exploration. At surgery, paraspinal and epidural abscesses were encountered and debrided; however, no herniated disc was visualized. This case demonstrates the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas with which these lesions present. We postulate that the MRSA osteomyelitis/discitis pathogens were walled off in the disc space and subsequently inoculated the soft tissues with ensuing bacteremia. We concur that antimicrobial treatment should be the first line of therapy for these patients; however, surgical debridements and cautious spinal instrumentation should be employed where appropriate.     

癫痫患儿生活质量及其影响因素的研究

目的用新的生活质量量表研究癫痫患儿的生活质量并探讨其影响因素.方法用量表对71例符合标准的癫痫患儿的生活质量进行评估.结果癫痫患儿的生活质量明显低下,总评得分为63.13±18.89.发作频率、发作担忧及抑郁情绪与患儿生活质量呈负相关,相关系数分别为-0.42、-0.25和-0.45,而记忆功能与患儿生活质量呈正相关,相关系数为0.84.结论癫痫患儿的生活质量明显低下,对癫痫患儿进行药物治疗并辅以心理治疗、健康教育,能提高癫痫患儿的生活质量.     

沙培林增强人腹腔巨噬细胞抗癌免疫功能的研究

目的:探讨腹腔内注射沙培林增强人腹腔抗癌免疫功能的机制。方法:72例早中期胃肠道肿瘤患者术前48h和24h腹腔内分别注射生理盐水和5KE的沙培林,术中采集腹腔内巨噬细胞,计数并测定乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和酸性磷酸酶(ACP)的活性,巨噬细胞吞噬活力,一氧化氮(NO)的分泌以及对人胃癌MKN1细胞的细胞毒性进行分析。同时采集大网膜,对大网膜乳斑的数量和面积进行观察。结果:沙培林显著增加腹腔巨噬细胞(PMΦ)的数量和NO的分泌,增强LDH和ACP的活性,吞噬活力,以及抗癌细胞毒性,也显著增加了大网膜乳斑的数量和面积。结论:腹腔内注射沙培林可显著增加人大网膜乳斑的数量和面积,并因此增加PMΦ的数量,增强PMΦ的活性。因而增强了腹腔巨噬细胞的免疫功能。

指背腱膜的解剖学研究

目的 探讨指背腱膜的构成特点及临床意义。方法 在30只成人尸体手标本上，通过模拟手术，对指背腱膜的构成特点进行了应用解剖学观测。结果 指背腱膜的构成复杂，其中的外侧腱束、外侧束、外侧腱和中央束在手指畸形的发生中有着特殊的临床意义。外侧腱束主要形成伸近节指间关节的功能解剖机制；其与外侧束形成的密切纤维联系而具有协同外侧腱的功能；该腱束与屈肌腱鞘有联系又使其具有平衡屈肌和伸肌肌力的作用。中央束在指背腱膜的整体协调、畸形的发生及矫正过程中起着重要的功能。结论 通过对指背腱膜的解剖研究，可以解释因指屈、伸肌腱平衡被破坏后所形成的畸形。     

Use of the Arndt wire-guided endobronchial blocker via nasal for one-lung ventilation in patient with anticipated restricted mouth opening for esophagectomy.

Functional separation of the lungs may be accomplished by several methods. Patient with restricted mouth opening has limited options for one-lung ventilation. We report the use of wire-guided endobronchial blockade, a new tool for achieving one-lung ventilation in a patient with restricted mouth opening requiring nasotracheal, fiberoptic intubation for esophagectomy and reconstruction with gastric tube substitution.
