Liguzinediol对阿霉素诱导的慢性心衰大鼠心功能的影响

目的 通过阿霉素（Dox）复制大鼠慢性心力衰竭（CHF）模型，观察Liguzinediol对CHF大鼠心功能的影响。方法 通过血流动力学观察Liguzinediol对Dox（腹腔注射，2 mg/kg）诱导的CHF大鼠左心室内压最大上升/下降速率(±dp/dt_max)、左心室内压(LVSP)、动脉收缩压(ASP)、动脉舒张压(ADP)和心率(HR)的变化；观察Liguzinediol对血清一氧化氮（NO）、一氧化氮合成酶（NOS）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、肿瘤坏死因子-α（TNF-α）和白细胞介素-6（IL-6）以及血浆中丙二醛（MDA）的影响。结果 Liguzinediol能增加LVSP、+dp/dt_max、ASP、ADP、AP、HR，降低-dp/dt_max(P<0.05~0.01)；降低NO、iNOS以及MDA的浓度，同时增强了SOD的活性(P<0.05~0.01)；抑制IL-6和TNF-α的生成(P<0.05~0.01)。结论 Liguzinediol可明显改善Dox诱导的CHF大鼠血流动力学指标，减少模型大鼠炎症因子的释放以及抑制氧自由基的生成。      

Are hand biomechanics affected following radial forearm flap harvest? A systematic review and meta-analysis

Donor site morbidity following radial forearm flap (RFF) harvest remains a controversial issue. The aim of this meta-analysis was to answer the question “Are the range of wrist movements (range of motion, ROM) and hand strength affected after RFF harvesting?” The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library electronic databases were systematically searched (to December 2019). Self-controlled studies evaluating hand biomechanics after RFF harvest were included. Weighted mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the random-effects model. The outcome variables were ROM, forearm movements, grip, and pinch strengths. Thirteen studies involving a total of 335 patients were included. With the exception of grip strength and supination, which showed statistically significant reductions of about 2.40 kg and 2.86° (P < 0.05), all other ROM, forearm movements, and pinch strengths showed an insignificant difference when the operated hand was compared to the non-operated hand (P > 0.05). Regression analysis showed that the method of donor site closure and size of the donor site defect had an insignificant impact on hand biomechanics. This study confirms the lack of discernible biomechanical morbidity after RFF transfer. The minimal reduction in hand biomechanics after RFF is considered to be clinically negligible.     

甲状腺癌根治术中不同途径显露喉返神经的应用效果评价

目的 探讨甲状腺癌根治术中不同途径显露喉返神经的应用情况.方法 根据随机数字表法将92例进行甲状腺癌根治术的患者随机分为对照组和观察组,每组46例.对照组采用甲状腺下动脉途径法显露喉返神经,观察组采用甲状腺最下动脉途径法显露喉返神经.比较两组患者寻找喉返神经的时间、术中出血量、手术时间、术后声音嘶哑和喉返神经损伤的发生率.结果 观察组患者寻找喉返神经的时间和手术时间均明显短于对照组患者,差异均有统计学意义(P﹤0.01).观察组患者的术中出血量明显少于对照组患者,差异有统计学意义(P﹤0.01).观察组患者术后声音嘶哑和喉返神经损伤的发生率均低于对照组患者,差异均有统计学意义(P﹤0.05).结论 甲状腺癌根治术中应用不同途径显露喉返神经,其效果存在差异.与甲状腺下动脉途径法相比,甲状腺最下动脉途径法能够明显缩短寻找喉返神经的时间和手术时间,减少术中出血量,降低术后声音嘶哑和喉返神经损伤的发生率,值得临床推广应用.
