Stress fractures of the lesser metatarsals after a Wilson osteotomy for correction of hallux valgus deformity

This article describes a patient with lesser-metatarsal stress fractures resulting from an oblique Wilson displacement first metatarsal osteotomy. The shortening of the first metatarsal forces the lesser metatarsals to bear the weight previously borne by the first ray and increases the compression stress on the adjacent metatarsal heads. The proximal displacement of the osteotomy must be minimized in order to limit the risk of stress fracture of the lesser metatarsals.     

Complications of percutaneous nephrostolithotomy

In 224 patients, renal stones were removed from the urinary tract using either direct extraction with a basket or forceps (59 patients), ultrasonic lithotripsy (164 patients), or infusion chemotherapy (one patient). Residual stone fragments were present more frequently in patients treated with ultrasonic lithotripsy (27%) than with direct extraction (5%). Other complications included hemorrhage (eight patients), catheter dislodgement (four patients), large amounts of urine extravasation (three patients), glycine ascites (three patients), infection (two patients), pneumothorax (one patient), and a prolonged ileus (one patient). More complications occurred among the first 50 patients than the last 50 patients, even though more difficult cases, including patients with staghorn calculi, were accepted during the latter period. Although a learning curve exists, complications can be minimized by attempting to treat more favorable cases during the initial experience.     

数字化导航模板辅助全膝关节置换的模拟研究

 目的 探讨数字化导航模板辅助全膝关节置换的准确性和可行性。方法 取成年尸体下肢标本 20具,随机分为导航模板组和传统方法组,每组 10具 20个膝关节。导航模板组术前行下肢全长 CT扫描,利用逆向工程软件对 CT数据进行处理,设计与股骨远端和胫骨近端匹配的可定位截骨平面和外旋轴的导航模板,通过快速成型机制作模板实物用于尸体标本的全膝关节置换手术操作。传统方法组按常规全膝关节置换手术操作。术后通过 CT扫描比较两种方法定位的截骨准确性。结果 导航模板与股骨髁和胫骨平台贴合紧密,无明显移动。导航模板组 18个膝关节的股骨远端和胫骨近端截骨面与下肢机械轴垂直,2个膝关节内翻; 17个膝关节后髁截骨面与通髁轴完全平行,3个膝关节有成角。传统方法组 20个膝关节均出现下肢机械轴内外翻,其中 5个膝关节大于 5°; 20个膝关节均出现后髁截骨面与通髁轴成角,其中 10个膝关节大于 3°。结论 导航模板法的股骨远端、胫骨近端和股骨外旋截骨准确性均高于传统手术方法。     

Effects of chronic sympatho-inhibition on reflex control of renal blood flow and plasma renin activity in renovascular hypertension

Background and purpose:

We determined if chronic sympatho-inhibition with rilmenidine has functional significance for the kidney by altering responses of renal blood flow (RBF) and plasma renin activity (PRA) to stress and acute hypotension in rabbits with renovascular hypertension.

Experimental approach:

RBF to each kidney and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) to the left kidney were measured in rabbits in which a renal artery clip induced hypertension (2K1C) and in sham-operated rabbits. After 2 weeks, a subcutaneous minipump was implanted to deliver rilmenidine (2.5 mg·kg⁻¹·day⁻¹) to 2K1C rabbits for 3 weeks.

Key results:

After 5 weeks of renal artery stenosis, mean arterial pressure (MAP) was 23% higher and PRA 3-fold greater than in sham-operated rabbits. Blood flow and renal vascular conductance in the stenosed kidney were lower (−75% and −80%) compared with sham, and higher in the non-clipped kidney (68% and 39%). Responses of RBF and PRA to hypotension were similar in 2K1C and sham rabbits. Airjet stress evoked a greater increase in MAP in 2K1C rabbits than sham controls. Chronic rilmenidine normalized MAP, reduced RSNA and PRA, and did not reduce RBF in the stenosed kidney. Responses of RBF (clipped and non-clipped kidney), RSNA and PRA to hypotension and airjet were little affected by rilmenidine.

Conclusions and implications:

Our observations suggest that chronic sympatho-inhibition is an effective antihypertensive therapy in renovascular hypertension. It normalizes MAP and reduces basal PRA without compromising blood flow in the stenosed kidney or altering responses of MAP, haemodynamics and PRA to acute hypotension and stress.     

氟伐他汀防治大鼠放射性胸膜炎的实验研究

目的观察氟伐他汀对大鼠放射性胸膜炎的防治作用。方法采用随机数字表法,将80只健康雌性SD大鼠分为对照组（n=8）、单纯放射组（n=36）、氟伐他汀组（n=36）。氟伐他汀组于照射前1周,给予20mg／（kg·d）氟伐他汀灌胃,直至活杀,其他组灌服等量生理盐水。单纯放射组和氟伐他汀组采用直线加速器全胸部照射,单次剂量20Gy。照射后对大鼠进行x线透视扫描,并在第15d、30d、60d以3．5％水合氯醛麻醉大鼠,剪开胸腔,对有胸水者进行病理和生化检查。结果单纯放射组放射性胸膜炎发生率为41．7％（15／36）。氟伐他汀组放射性胸膜炎发生率为19．4％（7／36）。两组之间的差异有统计学意义（x2=4．19,P〈0．05）。经过对比发现氟伐他汀组病理学改变轻于同期的单纯放射组。结论放射性胸膜炎在放射性肺损伤的早期即可出现,氟伐他汀能有效防治大鼠放射性胸膜炎。

目的探讨新生儿溶血病D-二聚体水平变化及临床意义。方法选取新生儿溶血病患儿60例,按照胆红素水平分为非重度组（34例）和重度组（26例）。同期出生的40例正常足月儿为对照组。检测各组D-二聚体及纤维蛋白原(FIB)水平的变化。结果重度组、非重度组D-二聚体水平[分别为(9.29±11.34)、(0.84±0.77) mg/L]明显高于对照组[(0.45±0.06) mg/L](P＜ 0.01或＜0.05),重度组明显高于非重度组(P＜0.01)。各组FIB水平比较差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05)。结论重度新生儿溶血病患儿体内存在高凝状态,血浆D-二聚体水平测定对新生儿溶血病患儿的病情判断和治疗有一定的价值。
