本项研究的目的是确定单采血小板可允许保存的条件,包括容积、血小板成分的含量和特殊血小板成分保存袋内的血小板总量。材料和方法 本研究用单采机(COBE Spectra LRS Turbo,version 7,Gambro BCT,Denver,CO)从自愿献血者采集血小板成分,献血者符合 FDA和 AABB 献血标准,并在献血小板成分之前 7天内,没有服用改变血小板成分作用的药物和抗生素。控制每袋血小板成分的浓度和容积,以检测这些变量。悬浮在血浆中的血小板成分保存在特制的PVC合成的塑料袋中,枸椽酸钠抗凝,在22℃温控的恒温箱中震荡8天。     

Guidelines in establishing telerehabilitation services for people with vision impairment

Telerehabilitation is a viable option to provide continuum of rehabilitation intervention in situations like the ongoing pandemic. Presently, there is no policy guidelines to the minimum standard of telerehabilitation. This paper describes procedures for telerehabilitation for people with blindness and low vision from the evidence-based practices from a premier eye institute in South India. The suggested guidelines can help develop and replicate similar models of telerehabilitation to reach people in need in difficult situations like COVID 19 pandemic.     

Keratoprosthesis results in animals: An update

Background: The report presented is an update on continuing development work on modified PHEMA core-and-shirt KPros in animals. Methods: Two variations (improved wet-eye, and dry-eye) of a prototype core-and-skirt Chirila KPro are described. The clinical success rate on implantation of these versions of the Chirila KPro was assessed. Results: It was found that a significant improvement in retention rate was shown in the improved model but that the dry-eye model failed early in two of the three implanted. Conclusions: The significance of the improved strength and the reasons for disappointing results with the early dry-eye KPros are discussed. Ongoing work is briefly outlined.     

进展期胃癌淋巴结转移的特点及临床意义

目的 探讨胃癌淋巴结(LN)转移的规律,指导胃癌LN廓清手术治疗。方法 回顾分析我院近5年来D_2或>D_2手术并有完整记录的298例进展期胃癌患者的临床资料,统计胃癌各组LN的转移情况。结果 术中LN肉眼检查与实际病理检查有一定的误差。D_2手术时,只要把No.12LN包括在内,部分LN归属哪一组,并不影响肿瘤的治疗和预后。在各组LN中,No.3、No.7、No.8、No.9 LN转移率最高,而No.13、No.17、No.18 LN对于不同部位的胃癌转移机会均很少,不同部位的胃癌No.3、No.4、No.7、No.8、No.9、No.11、No.16 LN转移机会大致相同。胃癌的LN跳跃式转移见于No.16 LN,而第3站的LN较为少见。探查时若无No.12 LN转移,No.13 LN病理检查均未见转移,可不必清扫。组织学类型分化低的胃癌其第3、4站LN转移相对少见,这可能与分化低的肿瘤易引起远处转移,而使患者失去根治手术的机会有关。结论 掌握胃癌LN的转移规律,对胃癌LN的廓清手术具有重要意义。     

Fibrolamellar Hepatoma

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high incidence rate worldwide with an extremely grave prognosis, but, fortunately, accounts for only 2% of all cancers in the United States. Yet, a unique subset of HCC fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHC) is reported only from the United States. Five cases of FLHC from the University of Minnesota's 17 years of experience are reported and compared with the literature reports for FLHC, as well as contrasted to reports of HCC. The review of the literature is addressed for data evaluating FLHC as a distinct entity from HCC.     

Ovarian carcinoma relapsing as a cerebellopontine angle tumour

Involvement of the central nervous system in epithelial ovarian carcinoma is rare. A 46-year-old woman with ovarian carcinoma relapsing with brain metastasis is described. She received radiotherapy for the metastasis and survived for 18 months.     

口服避孕药：不会增加死亡风险

本研究旨在确定服用口服避孕药的女．胜其死亡风险是否高于未服用者。本次前瞻性试验研究，由英国全科医生资料库和（或）国家健康服务中心登记处提供始于1968年的死亡资料，对46112位女性持续观察了39年，其中未使用口服避孕药的女性为378006人年，曾服用者为819175人年，主要观察终点未口服和口服避孕药者之间全因和特异性死亡的相对风险。     

Serious and fatal air gun injuries: more than meets the eye

OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiology of air gun injuries to children that required hospitalization. DESIGN: A consecutive series of children with air gun injuries. SETTING: Urban pediatric teaching hospitals in Cincinnati, OH; Kansas City, MO; and Seattle, WA. METHODS: A retrospective chart review. RESULTS: A total of 101 children were studied: 81% were male; 80% were white, 18% were black, and 2% were other races. The median age was 10.9 years (range, 0.5 to 18.8). Victims were most commonly shot by a friend (30%) or sibling (21%). A total of 34% occurred at the victim's home, and 36% occurred at the home of a friend or relative. Although 71% of shootings were unintentional, 5% were assaults, and 1% were suicides. The median hospital stay was 3 days (range, 1 to 17 days). Fifteen children (15%) required treatment in intensive care. A total of 56% required at least one surgical procedure. Forty-nine had injuries to the head, including 38 with injuries to the eye, 10 with intracranial injuries, and 1 with a skull injury. Fourteen children were shot in the neck; 15 were shot in the chest, with 2 patients sustaining lacerations of the pericardium and 1 having a right ventricular foreign body. Another child had a laceration of the innominate artery. Nineteen had abdominal injuries, including laceration of the stomach (N = 3), small bowel (N = 4), colon (N = 2), and liver (N = 3). Three of 10 children with intracranial injuries died. Two had long-term neurologic deficits. Of children with eye injuries, 25 (66%) had permanent visual loss and 15 (39%) of these were blind. CONCLUSION: Air guns are associated with serious and fatal injuries. Families should be counseled that air guns may cause serious injuries and even death. Furthermore, pediatric care givers should advocate for increased regulation of air guns and expansion of safety standards.
