磁刺激运动诱发电位在腰椎间盘突出所致的腰骶神经根病变中的应用研究

在35例有L5和／或S1神经根损害表现的腰椎间盘突出患者腰椎区进行磁刺激运动诱发电位（MEP）检查，测定、记录胫前肌、展肌和小趾展肌MEP的起始潜伏期（OL）。结果显示，35例中至少有一条总侧肌肉MEP异常33例（94．3％）。在L4－5椎间盘突出中，以胫前肌的MEP异常为主；在L5－S1椎间盘突出中，以小趾展肌的MEP异常为主。表明腰椎区MEP检查对腰椎间盘突出所致的腰骶神经根病变较为敏感，可为临床诊断提供可靠依据并有助于定位诊断。     

无名异接骨冲剂对骨痂局部骨形态发生蛋白含量的影响

为探讨无名异接骨冲剂加速骨折愈合的作用机理，选用５５只新西兰大白兔，随机选择５只作为正常组；另５０只在无菌条件下造成双桡骨标准骨折模型。将５０只骨折兔随机平均分为实验组和对照组，实验组用无名异接骨冲剂每天４ｇ／ｋｇ溶于２０ｍｌ蒸馏水中分早晚两次灌胃；对照组用２０ｍｌ蒸馏水灌胃。于骨折后第１，２，３，４及５周用断颈法每次每组处死５只兔，取骨痂进行抗骨形态发生蛋白（ＢＭＰ）单克隆抗体免疫组化染色，并用ＣＭＩＡＳ型图像分析仪对ＢＭＰ含量进行定量分析。结果发现：实验组骨折局部ＢＭＰ含量明显高于正常组（Ｐ＜０．０１）；第１，２周实验组明显高于对照组（Ｐ＜０．０１）；实验组ＢＭＰ高峰出现在第２周，而对照组出现在第３周。认为，无名异接骨冲剂能促进成骨细胞合成ＢＭＰ，使ＢＭＰ峰值提前，从而加速骨折愈合。     

Bladder visualisation as a prognostic sign in oligohydramnios-polyhydramnios sequence in twin pregnancies treated using therapeutic amniocentesis

Oligohydramnios-polyhydramnios sequence in twin pregnancies may be managed by aggressive amniocentesis and is described in nine consecutive cases. In four of the nine pregnancies both twins survived, one pair died in the neonatal period, and the other four pairs all suffered intrauterine death. The median number of amnioreductions performed was five (range 2–7). In this series the reaccumulation of urine in the bladder of the 'stuck twin' was a predictive prognostic marker of survival in both twins, with a sensitivity and specificity of 100%.     

干性型老年黄斑变性60例随访观察

探刊干性型老年黄斑变性（age-related macular deganeration，AMD)的病变发展特征并 寻找监测AMD病情进展的较敏感指标。 方法：用眼底彩色照相和眼底荧光血管造影(FFA)、明视视网膜电囤(ERG)、FM100-hue 色彩试验及视力检查，对60例(111眼)50~80岁、视力≤1.0的干性型AMD患者进行3～74个月(平均30.2个月)的随访观察。 结果：本组68眼经FFA检查、平均25.6个月随访，其中25%的患眼病灶损害有快慢不一的发展．全部111眼视力在平均30.2个月随访中有18%患眼的视力下降2行以下，且与病灶进展相符，FM100-hue 色彩试验的被随访者中，随访2年以后，其总错误分明显的增加(P<0.01)．63眼的明视ERG在随访过程中无明显变化。 结论：大部分干性AMD患眼的病灶损害和视力可以在较长时间内维持稳定。FM100—hue的总错误分可能为监测AMD病情进展的较敏感指标． （中华眼底病杂志，1997，13：150-152）     

Destructive ocular myiasis in a noncompromised host

A case of destructive ocular myiasis resulting in complete loss of the globe in two days time is documented. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of such a severe involvement in a healthy and non-compromised host. Mechanical removal and good local hygiene helped heal the wound. The larvae were isolated to be that of Chrysomyia bezziana (screwworm fly). This is possibly the first report of destructive ocular myiasis caused by Chrysomyia bezziana from the Indian subcontinent and the second in world literature. Infestation of human eyes with larvae of flies (myiasis) has been reported. Serious consequences of destructive myiasis are seen in emaciated and diseased patients. Only one report of total destruction of the globe by maggots of Chrysomyia bezziana exists in the literature. As in previous communications, the patient in this report had no predisposing factors both systemic and local. We here in document a case of orbital myiasis leading to rapid destruction of the globe within two days in a healthy and a non-compromised patient.     

视网膜分支静脉阻塞和新生血管形成

分析视网膜分支静脉阻塞240例245只眼(5人为双眼)，其中主干分支阻塞208只眼，黄斑分支阻塞37只眼。79只眼产生了新生血管，占总数的32.2%，占主干分支阻塞的37.9%．玻璃体出血39只眼，占分支阻塞的15.9%，占新生血管的49.4%。新生血管的危险因素是无灌注区形成、动脉灌注不良、阻塞处静脉严重受压．新生血管的发生随病程时间延长而增高，病程5年以上者高达83.3%。分支静脉阻塞盲目者20只眼占8.2%，其中因新生血管及并发症致盲者14只眼，占盲目的70%，占分支静脉阻塞的5.7%. （中华眼底病杂志，1994，10：67-70）     

Measuring clinical outcome

At the present time, there are many fundamental issues coming from the Department of Health or from other national organizations, which will have an effect on the future development of the dietetic profession. The British Diatetic Association (BDA) Professional Development Committee will consider these issues, as and when appropriate, and will publish the information in the form of Briefing Papers.
The first Briefing Paper on 'Quality Assurance' was published by the BDA in November 1989. The second on 'Measuring clinical outcome' is published below. In each case the opinion of BDA members and specialist groups has been sought and the Professional Development Committee wishes to thank individuals and the specialist groups for their comments.
The Briefing Papers are intended to provide information and promote discussion among the membership. I would welcome further comments from readers, which may be directed to the British Dietetic Association Office.
