An unusual case of rhythmic movement disorder

Rhythmic movement disorder is one of the sleep-wake transition disorders listed in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders. According to this classification, the condition commonly occurs in infants and toddlers, and persistence beyond 4 years of age is unusual. Recently, we encountered a case in which rhythmic movement disorder persisted up until the age of 12 years with spikes registering on the sleep electroencephalogram. Epileptic seizure was ruled out because of the characteristic rolling movement, absence of any other epileptic symptoms (e.g. vocalization and tonic-clonic seizure) and cessation as a result of removal of the blanket.

肺癌患者纤支镜取材测定c-erbB-2蛋白的临床意义

目的 探讨肺癌患者经纤支镜取材，检测c—erbB—2蛋白的临床意义。方法 对肺部有占位性病变的患者行纤支镜取材，再用免疫组化S—P法检测c—erbB—2蛋白的表达情况，并比较肺癌组、肺良性病变组c—erbB—2蛋白的表达情况及其与临床病理因素的关系。结果 肺癌组、肺良性病变组c—erbB—2蛋白的阳性表达率分别为35．0％、10．0％，有显著性差异；c—erbB—2蛋白与肺癌组织学类型、分化程度、淋巴结及远处转移有关。结论 术前纤支镜取材测定c—erbB—2蛋白的表达情况有助于肺癌的临床诊断、分期及预后的判定。

Facial nerve outcome in lateral skull base surgery for benign lesions

Objective: To statistically identify factors most important in affecting CN7 outcome in lateral skull base surgery for benign lesions. Study Design: A retrospective review of 217 nonmalignancy lateral skull base procedures from 1970 to 1995 at the Otology Group in Nashville. Methods: Charts were reviewed for epidemiology, histopathology, staging, type of CN7 mobilization (none, short, long, severance with reanastomosis, and resection), preoperative and postoperative CN7 function, surgery performed, and survival. Results: Average House-Brackman (HB) scores for mobilizations were as follows: short, 1.65: long, 2.74: and grafting, 4.33. Factors found to affect outcome in a statistically significant fashion were preoperative HB score, staging, type of CN7 manipulation, and surgical approach. Meningiomas were found to have a worse outcome than glomus tumors. Conclusions: Complete resection of tumors should be performed with minimal manipulation of the facial nerve based on regional anatomy and tumor anatomy. Laryngoscope, 108:1480–1484, 1998     

Cytogenetics of benign breast lesions

This review summarizes the cytogenetic information on benign breast lesions of various histologies, i.e., fibrocystic lesions from women with and without a known hereditary predisposition to breast cancer, fibroadenomas, phyllodes tumors, and papillomas, and relate the chromosomal features with those in breast carcinoma. In general, the frequency of chromosome abnormalities is lower in benign lesions than in breast cancer, and seems to correlate with the histologic features of the tissue, and the corresponding risk of developing invasive mammary carcinoma; aberrations are more common in proliferative than in nonproliferative lesions. The karyotypes are generally less complex than those detected in invasive carcinoma, and more often involve balanced rearrangements. No lesion-specific aberration has so far been detected; on the contrary, changes repeatedly encountered in breast cancer samples can be found in benign lesions as well, e.g., gain of 1q, interstitial deletion of 3p, and trisomies 7, 18, and 20. Especially intriguing is the prevalence of rearrangements of the short arm of chromosome 3, with the minimally deleted bands 3p13–14, in proliferative lesions from prophylactic mastectomies in breast cancer families. The potential tumor suppressor gene(s) in this region remains, however, to be identified.     

眩晕康治疗椎-基底动脉缺血性眩晕90例临床研究
