Rapid Immunofluorescence Microscopy for Diagnosis of Melioidosis

An immunofluorescent (IF) method that detects Burkholderia pseudomallei in clinical specimens within 10 min was devised. The results of this rapid method and those of an existing IF method were prospectively compared with the culture results for 776 specimens from patients with suspected melioidosis. The sensitivities of both IF tests were 66%, and the specificities were 99.5 and 99.4%, respectively.

Merkel Cell Carcinoma Arising from the Subcutaneous Fat of the Arm with Intact Skin

BACKGROUND: Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare malignant neuroendocrine neoplasm characteristically arising from the dermis of sunlight-exposed skin. It rarely arises outside the skin. OBJECTIVE: We present a patient with primary Merkel cell carcinoma arising from subcutaneous fat, with no involvement of the overlying skin. We describe the clinical manifestations and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. METHODS: We report a 63-year-old woman with a primary lesion of Merkel cell carcinoma that arose from the subcutaneous fat layer of the left arm. The lesion presented as a subcutaneous nodule with intact overlying skin. MRI showed that the nodular lesion was located entirely in the subcutaneous fat layer, with no involvement of the dermis. Peritumoral infiltration around the lesion and enlarged lymph nodes deep to the lesion were noted. The patient received wide excision of the lesion with dissection of the regional lymph nodes and adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. RESULTS: Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of Merkel cell carcinoma with local lymphatic metastasis, and the lesion was completely located in the subcutaneous fat, with no involvement of the dermis. These findings were well correlated with MRI findings. CONCLUSION: Primary Merkel cell carcinoma may arise from the subcutaneous fat and present as an entirely subcutaneous lesion with intact skin. MRI is helpful to evaluate the local extension of the lesion and regional lymphatic metastasis.     

小儿阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征的诊断及治疗

目的探讨基层医院小儿阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(OSAHS)的诊断和治疗。方法对临床疑似患儿,用多功能监测仪行夜间持续脉搏氧饱和度和呼吸监测、头颈侧位摄片、纤维鼻咽镜检查,确诊后行手术治疗。结果患儿多有睡眠粗响鼾声、扁桃体和(或)腺样体肥大,呼吸道感染、中耳炎、发育不良及中枢系统并发症的发生率较高。最低氧饱和度(85±7)%,睡眠呼吸暂停指数(apneaindex,AI)≥1者22例,睡眠呼吸暂停低通气指数(apneahypopneaindex,AHI)≥5者30例。在全麻下行扁桃体和腺样体切除术,同时行改良悬雍垂腭咽成形3例,双侧鼓膜切开引流术15例。术后症状及相关指标改善明显。结论便携式多功能监测仪可精确诊断OSAHS,扁桃体和腺样体切除是有效的治疗方法。     

外科危重病人输血适应证选择及合理应用

输血在医疗活动中是很普遍的,美国北卡大学医学实验室的Hay等[1]在对北卡大学附属医院2004年死亡的病人进行回顾性调查分析后发现,有67.9%的病人输过血。大量的输血也造成了血源的紧张,目前我国无偿献血所能提供的血量只相当于临床需要量的60%,而输血的并发症也一直困扰着我们,     

拖出式Welch法直肠癌超低位切除的临床研究

目的：探讨中下段直肠癌保留肛门括约肌功能手术的安全性及效果。方法：对24例中下段直肠癌患者实施拖出式Welch法超低位切除术，即肿瘤切除后使直肠远端外翻，近端结肠经外翻的直肠拖出，于肛门外行结肠-直肠-期吻合，待吻合确实后还纳入肛门内。结果：肿瘤局部复发3例（12．5％）Dukes，B期1例（4．2％），C期2例（8．4％）。术后6个月排便次数、控便机能正常及良好者21例（87．5％），较差者3例（12．5％）。5年生存率62．5％（15／24）。结论：保留肛门括约肌的拖出式吻合术，在确保癌根治的情况下，选择合适的病例，可获得较高的生存率及生活质量。     

小脑后下动脉动脉瘤的诊断和治疗

目的探讨小脑后下动脉动脉瘤的临床特征、诊断、鉴别诊断和治疗。方法回顾性分析12例小脑后下动脉瘤的临床表现、影像学特征、手术效果及诊治过程中存在的相关问题。结果12例中有11例因动脉瘤破裂出血而发病,单纯第四脑室出血4例,全脑室系统出血2例,小脑半球出血3例,小脑蚓部伴第四脑室出血1例,侧脑室伴第三脑室出血1例,以后颅窝占位病变表现1例。8例术前行DSA检查明确诊断,4例术中明确诊断。12例均行后颅窝开颅显微手术治疗,其中动脉瘤颈夹闭9例,孤立切除2例,动脉瘤加固术1例,术后2例因脑积水加重行脑室-腹腔分流术。12例中除1例术后留有轻偏瘫外,其余11例恢复良好。结论小脑后下动脉瘤多以第四脑室出血发病,少数以小脑半球或蚓部出血发病,及早治疗效果满意。手术方式应尽量夹闭动脉瘤颈,对于小脑后下动脉末端动脉瘤,可以采用孤立切除术。     

子宫内膜异位症患者血清TNF-α和TNF-β的测定

目的:了解子宫内膜异位症（简称内异症）患者血清中肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和肿瘤坏死因子-β（TNF-β）的水平以及在腹腔镜保守性手术治疗前后的变化。方法:采用酶联免疫吸附法检测82例内异症患者（内异症组）和68例非内异症妇女（对照组）血清中TNF-α和TNF-β的含量及49例手术前后两者水平的变化。结果：内异症组血清TNF-α和TNF-β含量均显著高于对照组（Ｐ<0.01），且二者表达量随病情加重有上升趋势（Ｐ<0.05）。手术后Ⅲ～Ⅳ期患者血清中的TNF-α和Ⅰ～Ⅳ期患者血清TNF-β的含量随着内异灶的清除逐渐下降。结论:检测患者血清中TNF-α和TNF-β的含量，对术后随访、监测及手术效果的评价具有重要意义。
