Outpatient management of patients with large multinodular goitres treated with fractionated radioiodine

The efficacy of fractionated out-patient radioiodine therapy in 38 patients with compressive symptoms due to long-standing large multinodular goitres was assessed. The diagnosis was established by clinical assessment in addition to technetium-99m pertechnetate thyroid scan or computed tomography scan of the thyroid and mediastinum. Oral iodine-131 therapy was administered as a 2.22 GBq (60 mCi) cumulative dose over 4 months (555 MBq per month). All patients were monitored with serum thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroxine (± free tri-iodothyronine) assays before the treatment and after each dose fraction. Clinical and biochemical follow-up was performed on all patients and ranged from 6 to 45 months after therapy. The patients consisted of 35 female and three male patients with a median age of 59 years (range 37–87 years). Prior to treatment 20 patients were biochemically hyperthyroid and 18 were euthyroid. Overall, 71% of patients reported a subjective improvement in compressive symptoms and 29% reported no change. Clinically assessed reduction in goitre size occurred in 92% of patients while there was no change in 8%. At 3 months of follow-up, 31% of patients had become hypothyroid and at 18 months 66% were hypothyroid. Seven hyperthyroid patients (35%) became euthyroid and 13 hyperthyroid patients (65%) became hypothyroid. Three patients who became hypothyroid experienced neck soreness (transient in one patient, persistent in two patients). There were no differences in outcome between patients who were hyperthyroid and those who were euthyroid prior to treatment. Fractionated out-patient radioiodine therapy showed excellent short- and medium-term safety, was very well tolerated and offered a satisfactory alternative treatment to surgery.

真皮下血管网皮瓣的过氧化脂质测定

对12只豚鼠背部随意型真皮下血管网皮瓣的过氧化脂质含量进行了动态观测.结果表明,过氧化脂质的含量与皮瓣损伤程度呈同步变化;与皮瓣血运重建的时间密切相关.氧自由基对皮瓣组织的损伤主要发生在移植后1～5天.

Application of a 3D volume 19FMR imaging protocol for mapping oxygen tension (pO2) in perfluorocarbons at low field

A limited flip angle gradient-echo 3D volume acquisition imaging protocol for mapping partial pressure of oxygen (pO₂) in perfluorocarbon compounds (PFCs) at low field (0.14 T) is presented. The pO₂ measurement method is based on the paramagnetic effect of dissolved molecular oxygen (O₂) which reduces the PFC ¹⁹F T_1? Specific objectives related to imaging of PFCs through use of the protocol include improved image signal-to-noise characteristics and elimination of ¹⁹F chemical shift artifacts. A parametric Wiener deconvolution filtering algorithm is used for suppression of ¹⁹F chemical shift artifacts. Application of the protocol is illustrated in a series of calculated pO₂ maps of a gas equilibrated, multi-chamber phantom containing perfluorotributylamine (FC-43). The utility of the protocol is demonstrated in vivo through images of a commercially available perfluorocarbon based blood substitute emulsion containing FC-43 sequestered in the liver and spleen of a rat.     

B超,CT与DSA对肝癌介入治疗的指导价值

对１２６列原发性肝癌与３７例转移性肝癌介入治疗前均进行了Ｂ超、ＣＴ与数字减影血管造影（ＤＳＡ）检查。ＤＳＡ显示原发性肝癌多数血供丰富，而转移性肝癌以少血供者为主；ＣＴ显示小病灶的敏感性稍差，病灶的密度和均匀性与血供多少有一定关系，但特异性不高，而病灶的增强次应与血供关系密切，多血供者中９５％有显示的增强效应，少血供者仅占４．７％；Ｂ超所示病灶的回声高低与血供亦有一定关系，但特异性稍差。结果表明，Ｄ     

扩大经蝶入路进入海绵窦内侧腔的应用显微解剖

目的为临床开展扩大经蝶入路进入海绵窦内侧腔手术提供解剖学依据。方法用50例成人头颅标本．在显微镜下对蝶窦外侧壁、蝶鞍、海绵窦及周围结构进行解剖学观察并测量。模拟扩大经蝶入路磨除海绵窦腹侧骨质，切开海绵窦内侧壁，显露海绵窦内侧腔。结果颈内动脉（ICA）明显隆起于蝶窦侧壁的占58％，蝶窦内隆起呈管型占3％。鞍底硬膜分为2层，海绵窦内侧壁的上部南垂体硬膜构成，无骨性结构支撑；下部由骨周硬膜构成，有蝶窦侧壁骨质支撑。两侧海绵窦内侧壁的距离为（14．8±2．7）mm。海绵窦内侧腔位于C4段ICA与垂体之间，腔内为丰富的静脉丛，最宽可达7mm，但常因ICA扭曲而闭塞。无颅神经穿越海绵窦内侧腔，ICA是扩大经蝶入路探查海绵窦遇到的第一个主要结构。结论扩大经蝶入路进入海绵窦内侧腔是安全可行的。

氩激光凝固法对糖尿病性视网膜病变的疗效观察

目的 观察糖尿病性视网膜病变(DR)不同分期者接受氩激光治疗的临床效果。方法 采用科以人2000型氩激光组合激光机对170例263只患眼分别做如下处理：(1)对非增殖期糖尿病视网膜病变(NPDR)30眼行局部氩激光凝固术(光凝)；(2)对增殖前期糖尿病视网膜病变(PPDR)156眼行次全视网膜光凝；(3)对增殖期糖尿病视网膜病变(PDR)77眼行全视网膜光凝，对合并黄斑局限或弥漫性水肿者给予局灶性光凝或格栅样光凝。于光凝后3个月检查。进行视力、眼底、视网膜荧光血管造影，并与治疗前各项结果对比。结果 视力提高92眼(35％)、无变化144眼(55％)、下降27眼(10％)。眼底检查、荧光血管造影复查示：NPDR、PPDR眼视网膜微血管瘤、水肿、渗出消退，荧光渗漏消退占89％。其余11％需补充光凝。PDR眼视网膜、视盘新生血管消退占67％，33％为部分消退需补充光凝。黄斑水肿完全或部分消退占91％，光凝后出现视网膜前灶性出血占8％，玻璃体积血为1％。结论 氩激光对不同分期DR均有效。NPDR、PPDR效果好于PDR眼，后者光凝后荧光血管造影复查以及补充光凝对提高疗效非常必要。
