Application of an augmented reality tool for maxillary positioning in orthognathic surgery – A feasibility study

BACKGROUND: An augmented reality tool for computer assisted surgery named X-Scope allows visual tracking of real anatomical structures in superposition with volume rendered CT or MRI scans and thus can be used for navigated translocation of bony segments. METHODS: In a feasibility study X-Scope was used in orthognathic surgery to control the translocation of the maxilla after Le Fort I osteotomy within a bimaxillary procedure. The situation achieved was compared with the pre-operative situation by means of cephalometric analysis on lateral and frontal cephalograms. RESULTS: The technique was successfully utilized in 5 patients. Maxillary positioning using X-Scope was accomplished accurately within a range of 1mm. The tool was used in all cases in addition to the usual intra-operative splints. A stand-alone application without conventional control does not yet seem reasonable. CONCLUSION: Augmented reality tools like X-Scope may be helpful for controlling maxillary translocation in orthognathic surgery. The application to other interventions in cranio-maxillofacial surgery such as Le Fort III osteotomy, fronto-orbital advancement, and cranial vault reshaping or repair may also be considered.     

国外经皮冠状动脉腔内成形术后留置动脉鞘管的护理进展

经皮冠状动脉腔内成形术（PTCA）是近30年来治疗冠心病的主要技术之一，其相应的护理技术在过去近10年里有着明显的改进。本文以穿刺股动脉途径为重点综述国外PTCA术后留置动脉鞘管的护理进展：动脉外鞘管拔除责任者、拔除时间、拔管后局部压迫方法等内容，旨在提升PTCA术后的护理质量。     

人工合成铁（Ⅱ）半胱氨酸SOD模拟物的毒性及血清半衰期研究

本文对人工合成的铁（Ⅱ）半胱氨酸SOD模拟物的毒性及其吸收后血清半衰期进行了初步探索。通过灌胃急性毒性、慢性毒性、遗传毒性和灌胃后吸收入血清的药时变化进行了研究。研究结果表明：此物对小鼠灌胃的LD50为大干5000mg／kg。连续给药1月后，小鼠的心、肝、胸腺、脾、肺、肾和肠胃等脏器在形状、大小和颜色上与正常组织无明显差异；用800mg／kg的剂量给小鼠灌胃7d，小鼠的晴多染红细胞微核率有一定增长（P〈005）；经不同浓度给药后，血清中血药浓度峰值时间为60-210min，半衰期为90-180min，证明此药为微毒物质，适当剂量口服后无明显蓄积毒性，大剂量使用时可导致一定的染色体损伤，血清药浓度半衰期随给药浓度有所变化。此药可望在植物生长调节剂、医药或化妆品、饲料、食品中的抗氧化添加剂及着色抑菌的防腐添加剂等中代替天然SOD。     

Cardiokymograph system with a capacitance transducer and its preliminary application in the measurement of heart wall movement

A novel cardiokymograph system is introduced. The new system features a capacitance transducer with increased sensitivity and can be used in multichannel measurements. The novelty of this technique is the injection of a current into the patient coupled with the use of a capacitive displacement transducer and the possibility of multichannel monitoring. It provides for the possibility of removing breath noise when some signal processing technique, such as adaptive filtering, is used. Further investigation is needed to demonstrate clinical significance and pathologies.     

不同给药途径时抗核抗体独特型多肽对狼疮样肾炎小鼠作用的探讨

目的应用抗核抗体独特型多肽免疫治疗狼疮肾炎小鼠,观察其对狼疮肾炎模型小鼠肾脏的保护作用。方法将35只雌性GVHD狼疮样肾炎小鼠(C57BL/10×DBA/2)F1分为3组,肾炎模型对照组(10只),口服多肽实验组(10只),皮下注射多肽实验组(15只)。3组小鼠均于24周龄处死,观察3组小鼠体质量、尿蛋白、肾脏组织学及血清IL-6水平的变化。结果在给予多肽12周时,皮下注射组和口服多肽组小鼠肾脏损害较对照组明显减轻;血清IL-6水平也较对照组明显降低。在给予多肽10周时,皮下注射组小鼠体质量明显高于对照组小鼠,12周时口服组体质量也明显高于对照组。给予多肽4周时,皮下注射组小鼠尿蛋白明显少于对照组,8周时口服组尿蛋白也明显少于对照组。结论口服独特型多肽对GVHD狼疮样肾炎小鼠肾脏同样有保护作用。     

人参皂甙对β淀粉样蛋白诱导THP-1单核细胞一氧化氮合酶和一氧化氮的影响

目的研究人参皂甙对β淀粉样蛋白(βamyloid,Aβ)1-40诱导THP-1细胞表达诱导型一氧化氮合酶(inducible nitric oxide synthase,iNOS)和一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)的影响。方法用Western blotting测定THP-1细胞iNOS表达,以Griess法测定细胞上清中NO的浓度。结果Aβ模型组iNOS的表达明显高于对照组(P<0.01)。与模型组比较,人参皂甙可明显减少THP-1细胞iNOS的表达和NO的产生(P<0.05)。随着人参皂甙剂量的增大,人参皂甙可引致THP-1细胞iNOS的表达和NO的产生明显减少(P<0.05),且有剂量依赖性。结论人参皂甙可抑制THP-1细胞iNOS的表达,进一步影响NO的产生。
