血管生成素-2在食管鳞癌中的表达及意义

目的初步探讨血管生成素-2(Angiopoietin-2,Ang-2)在食管鳞状细胞癌组织中的表达及其与肿瘤病理分级、浸润和转移的关系。方法采用S-P免疫组织化学方法,对85例食管鳞癌及22例正常食管组织中的Ang-2表达水平进行检测,并与肿瘤病理分级、浸润深度及淋巴结转移情况进行统计学分析。结果85例食管鳞癌组织中,57例Ang-2表达呈阳性,阳性率为67.06%,显著高于Ang-2在正常食管组织中的表达(P<0.05)。Ang-2表达与肿瘤病理分级和淋巴结转移显著相关(P<0.05)。结论Ang-2的表达与食管鳞癌的临床分期及病理分级呈正相关,提示Ang-2促进肿瘤新生血管形成,参与食管鳞癌的发生和发展,可作为反映食管癌进展的生物学指标。     

LEEP刀治疗与护理相结合治疗宫颈疾病的作用

目的探讨LEEP刀治疗与护理相结合在治疗宫颈疾病中的作用。方法选择应用LEEP刀治疗与红外光治疗两组患者各60例。比较其疗效和护理作用。结果LEEP刀治疗比红外光治疗宫颈疾病效果要好。结论LEEP刀治疗与护理相结合对宫颈疾病的治疗值得推广应用。     

Aortic valve injury 10 years after tetralogy of Fallot repair

Summary Although recognized by pediatric cardiac surgeons, aortic insufficiency as a technical complication after tetralogy of Fallot repair is poorly documented, especially if it occurs late. The case of a boy with aortic insufficiency 10 years after complete tetralogy repair is described. No documentation in the literature other than summary statements in textbooks of this occurence was found.     

腰椎间盘突出症和马尾神经综合征

本文报告３２例腰椎间盘突出症导致的马尾神经综合征。除腰痛及坐骨神经痛外，本组所有病人均存在鞍区麻木和括约肌功能障碍。根据尿便功能障碍发作程度和持续时间，本组有四种不同的临床表现类型，预后差。异较大。脊髓造影具有诊断和鉴别诊断价值，应用Ｏｍｎｉｐａａｕｅ较Ｃｏｎｒａｙ安全。早期诊断和手术治疗，对括约肌功能、肌力和鞍区浅感觉最大程度地恢复甚为重要。     

胆汁4种初级结合型胆汁酸的多因素判别对胆汁成石性的判断价值

本文运用二值回归判别法探讨了胆汁中4种初级结合型胆汁酸含量变化对胆汁成石性的判断价值。根据52例测试数据得出4因素二类判别函数:Y=0.0395X_1-0.0386X_2 0.0185X_3 O.0586X_4-1.0513。87例自、回代结果表明,该判别函数在判断符合率、错误率、假阳性率、假阴性率等诸方面均较使用1种初级结合型胆汁酸作为判别指标优越。     

Patients seeking symmetrical recontouring for “Perceived” deformities in the width of the face and skull

This article describes plastic surgery patients who sought symmetrical recontouring of the width of the face and skull. The basic demographic and personality characteristics of these facial width deformity (FWD) patients and the surgical procedures performed on them are discussed. Details of the surgical and psychological management of three representative cases are given. Speculative conclusions regarding the general characteristics of the FWD population are offered. Suggestions are proposed for a combined surgical-medical psychotherapeutic collaboration in managing these patients.     

Locus of control, life events and treatment outcome in alcohol dependent patients

We investigated the relationship of locus of control and life events to outcome of treatment at 6 months in 67 patients with alcohol dependence. Outcome was less favourable in patients with pre-treatment scores indicating external locus of control than in those with internal locus of control. Furthermore, patients with relapse in the follow-up period experienced more independent life events with moderate to severe objective negative impact than those with more favourable outcome. These results suggest that locus of control may be of clinical use in formulating treatment and prognosis, and that the occurrence of life events may influence outcome. The results are discussed in relation to strategies for treatment and prevention of relapse.     

Discrepancy of xenon concentrations between end-tidal and blood collection methods in xenon-enhanced computed tomographic measurement of cerebral blood flow

Summary Using xenon-enhanced computed tomography for the study of cerebral blood flow, simultaneous measurements of end-tidal and arterial blood xenon concentrations using the blood collection method were performed to investigate the validity of substituting the end-tidal for the arterial blood xenon concentration. Simultaneous measurement by both methods was performed 68 times in 27 patients. There was no statistical correlation between the arterial blood accumulation rate constant obtained by arterial blood and end-tidal samples, nor between the arterial blood saturation value obtained by the two methods, even when correction was made for age. In brain tissue, all parameters calculated using the end-tidal concentration were lower than those using arterial blood. We therefore suggest that cerebral blood flow values calculated using end-tidal xenon concentration are useful only for qualitative cerebral blood flow mapping, and not applicable to absolute values of cerebral blood flow.     

Osteoporosis and Back Pain among the Elderly

Questionnaire responses from 120 men and 337 women over the age of 50 years were studied to determine the prevalence of back pain among the elderly. In order to gain a rough indication of the back pain among elderly women which might be due to osteoporosis, the prevalence was compared in the two sexes. The prevalence of back pain without radiation to the legs and concomitant morbidity was found to be similar among men and women up to the 70–79-year age-group. After this age the prevalence was higher in women. Those with exceptional loss of body height or kyphosis had a high prevalence of back pain, while those who had sustained previous hip or radius fractures did not. There was increasing prevalence of back pain among women with increasing number of previous fractures. The study gives little indication of serious morbidity of osteoporosis in the form of back pain before very old age.
