Low surface tension calcium hydroxide solution is an effective antiseptic

The antimicrobial effects of a saturated calcium hydroxide solution, and in combination with 10% and 20% detergent, were evaluated on Streptococcus faecalis. Strepto-coccus sanguis, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius, Neisseria sp., diphlheroid, Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus suhtilis and Candida albicans. The saturated calcium hydroxide solution was effective against only four of the 11 microorganisms studied over a 60-min exposure time. The calcium hydroxide solutions con-taining detergent killed all 11 test organisms over a 30-min exposure time. This difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). No statistically significant difference in antimicrobial action was found between the 10% and 20% detergent calcium hydroxide solutions (F>0.01). However, the low surface tension (46.5 × 10^?3 Nm^?1) and high pH (10.8) of the calcium hydroxide solution with 20% detergent establish it as the more effective solution.

两种根管弯曲度测量法间数学关系的推导

目的:研究2种根管弯曲度测量法测值(Schneider法的测值为θS,Weine法的测值为θW)间的数学关系。方法:将弯曲根管长轴简化为依次由相切的线段(长度为l1)、圆弧(半径为r、圆心角为θ)、线段(长度为l2)组成的连线,根据2测量法确定简化弯曲根管长轴测量角时不同的定点、连线方式,推导θS、θW间的函数方程以及与l1、l2、r、θ间的数学关系,分析方程与函数图形的特征。结果:θS与θW间存在以下数学关系:(1)tanθS=(1-cosθW ksinθW)/(sinθW kcosθW),k=l2/r;(2)θW/2≤θS≤θW。k取不同值时函数曲线的形态具有不同的特点。θW在0,π的区间内,θS与θW间呈近似的线性关系;k越大,θS越接近θW,k越小,θS越接近θW/2。结论:Schneider法与Weine法测值间存在着复杂的函数关系,根管根尖部直段的长度(l2)与弯曲段曲率半径(r)之比值是影响2种方法测值间差异的重要因素。     

Rotatory palmar subluxation of the lunate in post-traumatic ulnar carpal translocation

Post-traumatic ulnar carpal translocation is a rare, severe ligamentous injury to the wrist. Radiologic findings include widening of the radiocarpal joint space at the radial styloid process and ulnar displacement of the carpus. Less than 50% of the lunate articulates with the radius in the neutral position; the lunate is tilted dorsally with palmar subluxation due to a ruptured radioscapholunate (RSL) ligament. This malposition should be called rotatory palmar subluxation of the lunate (RPSL), by analogy to rotatory subluxation of the scaphoid (RSS). In contrast to dorsiflexed intercalated segment instability (DISI), in RPSL the RSL ligament is ruptured and, in the majority of cases, the scapholunate ligament remains intact. A prompt diagnosis should lead to successful treatment.     

椎管内原发性孤立性纤维性肿瘤临床病理观察(附2例报告)

目的探讨椎管内孤立性纤维性肿瘤的临床病理特征、诊断和鉴别诊断,以期提高对该肿瘤的诊断水平。方法复习2例椎管内原发性孤立性纤维性肿瘤的临床资料,并观察其组织学特征和免疫组化标记。结果2例患者男、女各1例,年龄分别为23岁和32岁,临床表现为局部神经压迫症状。MRI示椎管内髓外硬膜内占位。组织学特征为梭形、卵圆形细胞呈束状、波浪状或旋涡状排列,富于胶原纤维及伴有分支状薄壁血管。细胞未见异型性和核分裂像。免疫组化示瘤细胞Vimentin( ),CD34( ),CD99( ),Bcl-2( ),AACT(-),Actin(-),S-100(-),EMA(-),GFAP(-),CD68(-),CD117(-),SMA(-),NF(-)。结论椎管内原发性孤立性纤维性肿瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤,诊断主要依靠病理形态学及免疫组化,并应与椎管内的其他梭形细胞肿瘤鉴别。     

机械通气患者体位改变插入胃管效果与分析

目的提高有创机械通气患者插入胃管的成功率,减少因反复插管所致的并发症,减轻患者痛苦,提高护士的工作效率。方法把有创机械通气的60例患者,随机分为观察组30例和对照组30例,观察组采取改变常规的“去枕头后仰位”为“抬高床头70°~80°角,头正位”插入胃管,对照组采取常规的去枕头后仰卧位的体位方法插入胃管。结果对照组一次插管成功率为6.66%,观察组一次插管成功率为90%,经统计学分析,差异有显著意义(P<0.01)。结论有创机械通气患者改变常规的“去枕头后仰位”为“抬高床头70°~80°角,头正位”后一次插入胃管成功率明显提高。

目的：了解试尖对侧向加压法根管充填质量的影响因素。方法：随机提取我院1998年10月至2004年12月所完成的根管充填病例的X线片1000例，按试尖与未试尖，分别对前牙、前磨牙和磨牙根管充填质量进行分析。结果：在482例未试尖根管充填病例中，前牙、前磨牙和磨牙的适充比例分别为46％、37％和23％，欠充为20％、29％和47％。超充为34％、33％和29％：在518例试尖病例中，前牙、前磨牙和磨牙的适充比例分别为68％、62％和51％，欠充为6％、12％和13％，超充为25％、24％和36％。结论：在侧向加压法根管充填中，试尖可明显改善充填质量。     

Ultrasonography in the detection of cervical incompetency

In 80 pregnancies with clinical and ultrasonic signs of cervical incompetency, the length of the cervix and the thickness of the anterior wall of a lower uterine segment have been evaluated ultrasonically. We have also measured the width of the endocervical canal and studied the prolapse of fetal membranes (with fetal parts) into the endocervical canal. We evaluated these same parameters in 80 healthy pregnancies. The length of the cervix, the thickness of the anterior wall of a lower uterine segment, and the width of the endocervical canal were followed longitudinally in the patients from the 10th to the 36th gestation week. No statistically significant differences between age groups were found. In four age groups at risk for cervical incompetency, cervical lengths and wall thickness were significantly different (p less than 0.001) from those in comparable controls. Forty-five percent of the patients in the at-risk group, with cervical cerclage, delivered at 37.3 (range: 32 to 41) weeks and 6.25% of pregnancies ended in abortion when the amniotic membrane herniated into the cervical canal, with or without some part of the fetus.     

内镜下切断屈肌支持带远侧纤维束治疗腕管综合征

目的探讨内镜下腕管切开减压术（endoscopic carpal tunnel release，ECTR）中切断屈肌支持带远侧纤维束（distal holdfast fibers of the flexor retinaculum，DHFFR）的必要性。方法观察组16例，臂丛神经阻滞麻醉，不使用止血带，皮肤1cm切口，内镜下应用USE系列切断腕管横韧带和DHFFR，与对照组16例单纯切断腕管横韧带进行疗效比较。结果术后6个月功能随访，按照Kelly疗效评定标准，观察组优13例，良3例；对照组优8例，良5例，可3例，2组浜田Ⅱ、Ⅲ级疗效差异有显著性（，=6．278，P=0．043）。2组均无严重并发症及术后复发。结论对浜田Ⅱ、Ⅲ级腕管综合征者术中注意腕横韧带切断不是唯一的目标，同时切断DHFFR才能彻底减压。
