矽肺患者肺功能与血气分析

以６７名Ⅱ、Ⅲ期矽肺患做了肺功能（ＶＣ，ＦＶＣ，ＦＥＶ，ＦＥＶ１／ＦＶＣ，ＭＶＶ，ＤＬＣＯ和血气分析（ＰａＯ２，ＰａＣｏｇｍ２，ｐＨ）。结果表明Ⅲ期矽肺肺功能较Ⅱ期矽肺降低，其中ＶＣ，ＦＶＣ、ＭＶＶ降低有显著差异，ＰａＯ２和ｐＨ随矽肺期别增加呈降低有显著差异。ＰａＯ２降低尤为明显，ＰａＣＯ２呈增高趋势。肺功能与ＰａＯ２改变显著相关，与ＰａＣＯ２和ＰＨ无相关关系。ＰａＯ２〈１０ｋＰａ发生率与尘肺劳动     

静脉血气分析及其临床应用进展

动脉血气分析是严重心肺疾病和许多代谢性疾病的重要检测手段，在血流动力学稳定状态下，动、静脉血气的CO2气体含量和酸碱参数非常接近，但在循环功能衰竭等情况下，动、静脉血气出现分离现象，此时可能需同时作静脉血气。静脉血气分析对危重患者特别是循环衰竭的患者可以提供组织氧合和酸碱状态更切实的评价，并可能对有效复苏提供更好的指导。     

DSA—Control of implanted devices for arterial hepatic perfusion

In contrast to conventional film angiography, the perfusion pattern of hepatic arterial chemotherapy was consistently visualized by DSA in 40 patients with implanted Infusaid pump or Port-A devices. Incomplete perfusion of a liver region by the cytotoxic agent was recognized by DSA as accurately as by nuclide scintigraphy. Furthermore, DSA appeared to be more sensitive in determining aberrantly perfused extrahepatic regions; this was especially true when there was a nonligated right hepatic artery. Specific details of vascular lesions and associated complicating events also could be satisfactorily analyzed by DSA only.     

Arterial and pseudoaneurysm ruptures complicating liver transplantation

Ruptures of the hepatic artery and hepatic pseudoaneurysms (PA) are rare but serious complications of hepatic transplantation. We conducted a retrospective study of 640 liver transplantations performed in our institution for a variety of pathologies. After surgery, seven major arterial bleeds occurred (0.9%). Of these seven cases, there were due to hepatic artery rupture (HAr) and four to PA rupture; all confirmed at either surgery (six cases) or autopsy (one case). Five of the seven patients died. In all cases the transplantation was difficult. All vascular injuries but one were caused by sepsis and occurred either after an undetermined cause septicemic syndrome (five cases) or graft dysfunction (one case). The last vascular injury was biliary drainage related. Six of the seven patients had imaging studies. Sonography (five cases) found a sub-hepatic hypoechoic collection in three cases but failed to do so in two. Duplex doppler (three cases) failed in all three cases to demonstrate a PA. Computed tomography (three cases) showed one PA, one perihilar sub-hepatic collection and failed in one. Conventional angiography (three cases) depicted a PA in all three cases. At the present time, our practice is to perform systematic angiography in patients with undetermined cause septicemic syndrome to research a PA. And if angiography is normal, to then puncture systematically any sub-hepatic collection to determine the bacteriological nature of this collection. Correspondence to: H. Caillet     

距骨的血液供应及其临床意义

本文观察了２４侧尸体足标本，均无已知临床血管疾病。在死后３６～４８小时之间行动脉灌注ＡＢＳ填充剂，以化学腐蚀和手工剔除的方法清除软组织。距骨的血供来自小腿下部三根主要动脉的分支，即跗骨管动脉和三角支、近端和远端跗骨窦动脉、颈上支及后结节血管丛。跗骨管动脉常发自足底内侧动脉，而三角支多单独自胫后动脉发出；跗骨管动脉通常比三角支和跗骨窦动脉都来得细小。以上的这些动脉相互吻合，形成了一个骨膜血管网，覆盖于全部的距骨非关节面上。而且，环绕着跗骨管、跗骨窦、距骨颈的上面和距骨体部的内侧面，由三角支、跗骨管动脉、跗骨窦动脉、颈上支及其相互之间的吻合血管网形成了一个不定形的距骨动脉环。本文还讨论了距骨缺血性坏死与动脉环的可能关系，距骨骨折脱位或手术后的缺血性坏死是由于距骨动脉环的毁损或功能受影响所致。三角支在距骨骨折脱位时具有重要意义，手术或手法复位时应注意保护。

Changes in CSF pressures during experimental acute arterial subdural bleeding in pig

Summary The effects of acute arterial subdural bleeding on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and 12 other vital parameters were studied in spontaneously breathing pigs (group 1, n=9) and in mechanically ventilated pigs (group 2, n=18) to analyze quantitatively the bleeding course and the lethal mechanism.Spontaneously breathing animals all succumbed after a mean bleeding volume of 45.6±8.9ml, corresponding to about 50 per cent of the intracranial volume, and a mean bleeding duration of 11.0±2.6 min. Rapid rise in CSF pressures, marked transtentorial pressure gradients, and progressive reductions of cerebral perfusion pressure leading to a permanently iso-electric EEG, apnoea and to a terminal rise in arterial pressure (Cushing response), was the rule in these animals.The mechanically ventilated animals had smaller bleeding volumes (34.3±8.1 ml), but longer bleeding durations (13.8±5.8 min). In this group 7 animals survived. They had no pressure gradients, and only moderate changes in arterial pressure and EEG. The 11 animals that succumbed had marked transtentorial pressure gradients, but smaller increments in arterial pressure than the spontaneously breathing animals.At autopsy, subdurally located blood was found throughout the intracranial and spinal subdural compartments and along the spinal nerve roots in both groups.The results of this study suggest that survival after acute subdural haematoma is influenced by the presence of transtentorial pressure gradients and by the spinal sac acting as a space for expansion. The beneficial effect of artificial ventilation is discussed.This study has been supported by the University of Oslo, The Anders Jahre Foundation for The Advance of Research, and by the Norwegian Society for fighting Cancer.     

Magnetic resonance elastography of the lung: technical feasibility.

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a phase-contrast technique that can spatially map shear stiffness within tissue-like materials. To date, however, MRE of the lung has been too technically challenging-primarily because of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) limitations and phase instability. We describe an approach in which shear wave propagation is not encoded into the phase of the MR signal of a material, but rather from the signal arising from a polarized noble gas encapsulated within. To determine the feasibility of the approach, three experiments were performed. First, to establish whether shear wave propagation within lung parenchyma can be visualized with phase-contrast MR techniques, MRE was performed on excised porcine lungs inflated with room air. Second, a phantom consisting of open-cell foam filled with thermally polarized (3)He gas was imaged with MRE to determine whether shear wave propagation can be encoded by the gas. Third, preliminary evidence of the feasibility of MRE in vivo was obtained by using a longitudinal driver on the chest of a normal volunteer to generate shear waves in the lung. The results suggest that MRE in combination with hyperpolarized noble gases is potentially useful for noninvasively assessing the regional elastic properties of lung parenchyma, and merits further investigation.     

A new hypothesis for the bone marrow edema pathogenesis during transient osteoporosis

Transient osteoporosis is an infrequent condition of uncertain etiology with pain, limited range of motion and radiographic evidence of osteoporosis affecting one or more joints. It is self-limited, reversible and can involve only the hip (transient osteoporosis of the hip, TOH) or, less frequently, one or more joints contemporaneously or at different times (regional migratory osteoporosis, RMO). We studied four men with transient osteoporosis, including two with TOH and two with RMO. All patients underwent a standard radiographic work-up of the affected joints, arteriovenous Doppler US, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and three-phase bone scanning. In all patients, symptoms were related to bone marrow edema demonstrated at MRI and to a transitory regional arterial hyperflow observed at the early scintigraphic analysis. On the basis of our observations, we hypothesize that regional arterial hyperflow may be the cause of the bone marrow edema and therefore of the transient osteoporosis.
