精索静脉曲张不育症机理研究

精索静脉曲张是男子不育症的重要原因。但有关精索静脉曲张不育症机理至今仍不清楚。本文应用光镜和电镜对60例精索静脉曲张不育患者睾丸活检进行了一般生殖病理和超微结构病理研究,对部分病例作了生殖免疫病理和附睾功能检测。生精细胞脱落,间质病变和对侧睾丸病理变化是精索静脉曲张不育症睾丸的三种主要病理变化,其中间质血管病变和间质水肿是特征性损害。电镜观察到睾丸小血管病变。曲细精管界膜病变及基底小室病变,并认为在其不育机理上有重要意义。附睾功能检测表明附睾功能有一定损害,是精索静脉曲张不育机理中的重要环节。这一观点属首次提出。生殖免疫病理揭示有三分之一病例呈阳性反应。根据上述观察和精液检查,本文提出了精索静脉曲张不育症的较为完整的机理,对治疗有一定的指导意义。     

Influence of sensory inputs on standing balance in community-dwelling elders with a recent history of falling.

Vision and/or ankle somatosensory inputs often do not correlate with the position of the center of gravity. In this case, visual or somatosensory information may be in conflict with other sensory systems that convey a true sense of body orientation. The purpose of this study was to determine how conflicting visual and ankle somatosensory inputs influenced standing balance in elders with a history of falls. Forty-seven community-dwelling elders (8 male, 39 female), between 65 and 96 years of age (mean = 80.5, SD = 9.0), participated in this project. Subjects with two or more falls in the 6 months prior to study were assigned to a fall group (n = 16), whereas those with no history of falling during the same time interval were assigned to a no-fall group (n = 31). In order to remove any bias in the testing procedure, the tester was not aware of group assignments. Subjects were evaluated using a sensory organization test (SOT) for standing balance and a "Get Up and Go" test (GUGT) for general mobility. Analysis of covariance was used to evaluate the SOT scores (by group, vision, and surface condition) and the GUGT scores. Body sway is known to increase with the normal aging process, and for this reason, age was selected as a covariate. The association between the SOT total score and the GUGT score was evaluated using Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients. The results showed a significant interaction between group and surface conditions, which indicated a decreased stance duration for fallers on a compliant surface compared with the stance duration for nonfallers (adjusted mean faller stance duration = 53 seconds, SD = 42; mean nonfaller stance duration = 67 seconds, SD = 32). Subjects in the fall group also had significantly higher GUGT scores (which indicated poor mobility function) than did subjects in the nonfall group (adjusted mean faller GUGT score = 2.65, SD = 1.48; mean nonfaller GUGT score = 1.47, SD = 0.77). The Spearman correlation between total SOT scores and the GUGT scores was greater for fallers (r = -.67) than for nonfallers (r = -.44). Orientation input from the ankle appears to have greater importance for preventing falls compared with a visual reference. The SOT and GUGT may be useful in the field to establish criteria for screening elders in a fall-prevention program.     

Possible mechanism(s) for permeability recovery of venules during histamine application.

Histamine is known to cause a substantial increase in the permeability of venules to both water and proteins. However, this increase is transient, i.e., the initially elevated permeability returns toward control levels, or "recovers," even during continuous histamine stimulation. In this investigation, we attempted to identify the possible chemical signal(s) initiating the permeability recovery process in single venules of rat mesentery. Specifically, we tested whether histamine's binding to H2 receptors and/or the production of prostacyclin by endothelial cells was involved in this process. To achieve this aim, the time course of endothelial cells was involved in this process. To achieve this aim, the time course of histamine-induced changes in permeability to alpha-lactalbumin was measured in the presence of H2 receptor antagonist (cimetidine) or of prostacyclin synthetase inhibitor (tranylcypromine), respectively. Permeability of individually perfused microvessels was measured using fluorescence microscopy. The results demonstrated that permeability recovery was not affected by the H2 receptor antagonist but was suppressed or even abolished by the prostacyclin synthesis inhibitor. Therefore, these results suggest that the production of prostacyclin by endothelial cells might serve as one chemical signal to initiate the permeability recovery process, whereas histamine's binding to H2 receptors is not involved in this phenomenon.     

Cerebellar diaschisis revisited: pontine hypometabolism and dentate sparing.

A unilateral supratentorial lesion may cause hypometabolism in the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere (crossed cerebellar diaschisis). We analyzed glucose metabolism, measured by PET-FDG, in the posterior fossa in 67 patients (78 PET studies) with primary unilateral supratentorial brain tumors selected for visually obvious metabolic asymmetry in the cerebellar hemispheres. We found that glucose utilization was 17% lower in the contralateral cerebellar cortex (compared with the ipsilateral one), consistent with the selection criterion, and 19% lower in the ipsilateral pons, wherein lie the first order synapses of the corticopontocerebellar pathway. This finding helps to validate the prevalent view that cerebellar diaschisis is due to interruption of afferent input from the corticopontocerebellar pathway. However, glucose metabolism in the contralateral dentate nucleus was relatively preserved--only 2% less than the ipsilateral dentate. This "dentate sparing" suggests preservation of afferent input to the largest of the deep cerebellar nuclei from the Purkinje cells in the cortex, despite interruption of the major excitatory input to the Purkinje cells.     

“Occult” hydrocephalus in children

The authors describe 32 children between 2 and 15 years of age who had hydrocephalus that was only clinically manifest late in life. The clinical picture of these children did not suggest an obvious increase in intracranial pressure; instead, the presenting signs were rather nonspecific and included macrocrania, mild psychomotor retardation, unsteady gait, increased muscle tone and deep tendon reflexes in the lower limbs, impaired ocular movement, epilepsy, and endocrine dysfunction. Their histories suggest the possible causes of the ventricular dilation in about one third of the cases were: perinatal hemorrhage, leptomeningitis, neurofibromatosis, and untreated aneurysm of the great vein of Galen. In 20 patients, however, no positive anamnestic findings were reported. CT scan revealed triventricular dilation in more than half of the cases; tetraventricular dilation was present in 6 patients, and biventricular dilation in the remaining subjects. All children underwent CSF shunting, which resulted in complete recovery in all but 2 cases. The most frequently recorded surgical complication was postoperative subdural effusion (7 subjects), which required surgical treatment in only 2 cases.Presented at the 15th Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, New York, 1987     

Bidirectional cavopulmonary shunts: clinical applications as staged or definitive palliation

A standard Glenn anastomosis between the superior vena cava and the right pulmonary artery has been the accepted mode of treatment for patients with complex cyanotic congenital heart disease. We report our experience in 18 patients with such disease who underwent a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt because of increasing cyanosis and growth cessation. All patients were considered less than "ideal" candidates for a Fontan procedure. We divided the patients into two groups: group 1 had azygos continuation and group 2 did not. Fourteen patients required hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Bidirectional pulmonary blood flow was achieved in all patients. Only 1 death occurred (group 2). The improvement in oxygen saturation and overall clinical condition of these patients, together with the low mortality and morbidity, is encouraging. However, long-term follow-up is mandatory for a comprehensive evaluation of this surgical approach as definitive palliation or as a first stage for a Fontan operation.
