A case-control study of major congenital heart defects in Sweden — 1981–1986

This paper reports the results of a case-control study of major congenital heart defects (CHD) in Sweden. During the period 1981–1986, 1,324 such cases were identified and 2,648 controls were selected. Some common maternal characteristics and exposures were studied using information from prospectively collected data. Possible associations with CHD were found for previous perinatal death, maternal diabetes, epilepsy, hydramnios and disproportion between fetus and pelvis. More specific associations were observed between previous spontaneous abortion, epilepsy, hydramnios and truncus anomalies and between diabetes and septal anomalies. However, no associations were found with involuntary childlessness, contraceptive use, or smoking.Abbreviations ASD atrial septal defect - CHD congenital heart defect - CI confidence interval - CoA coarctation of the aorta - DORY double outlet right ventricle - ECD endocardial cushion defect - HLHS hypoplastic left heart syndrome - IUD intrauterine device - LMP last menstrual period - OC oral contraceptive - OR odds ratio - PDA patent ductus arteriosus - TGV transposition of the great vessels - VSD ventricular septal defect     

组织工程颅骨缺损修复过程中超微结构观察

目的 用组织工程骨修复SD大鼠颅骨极量骨缺损，并在透射电镜下观察骨修复过程中成骨细胞、血管内皮细胞与陶瓷支架的关系。方法 14只雄性SD大鼠，随机分成实验组和对照组，每组7只。取左侧腔、股骨骨髓，体外诱导培养骨髓基质细胞。实验组将已分化的成骨细胞与含孔磷酸钙陶瓷复合用于修复大鼠自体颅骨极量骨缺损；对照组颅骨缺损处仅置入无细胞的陶瓷材料。分别于术后4、8、12、16、20、24及28周每组各处死1只动物取材，制成脱钙超薄切片，透射电镜下观察成骨细胞、血管内皮细胞与陶瓷残余支架的关系。结果 实验组动物颅骨修复12周前成骨细胞或成骨细胞样细胞毗邻新生小血管、血管内皮细胞存在，16周后成骨细胞转变为骨细胞，并围绕血管被包埋于骨基质及胶原纤维中；陶瓷残余与新生骨间有一条明显的钙化沉积带，大量胶原纤维已伸入到陶瓷支架的纳米级结构中。对照组陶瓷中央部位有大量小血管及血管内皮细胞增生，其周围多为幼稚成纤维细胞，无成骨细胞与血管内皮细胞的依附关系。结论 新型含孔磷酸钙陶瓷作为组织工程细胞支架，其间的纳米级结构有利于骨的再生和血管形成；未见来源于植骨床血管的内皮细胞衍变为成骨细胞。     

Platelet aggregation,disc haemorrhage and progressive loss of visual fields in glaucoma

Platelet aggregationin vitro, deterioration of visual field defects (VFD) and the prevalence of disc haemorrhages (DH) were assessed in 49 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and compared with the findings for 67 individuals with suspected glaucoma (GS) in a seven-year follow-up study (range 5.8 to 8.2 years). The percentage patients with spontaneous platelet aggregation (SPA) was higher for POAG patients with visual field deterioration (60%) than both POAG patients without progressive loss of visual fields (12.5%; P<0.005) and those with suspected glaucoma (22.4%; P<0.005). The occurrence of DH was higher among POAG patients with progressive loss of visual field (28%) compared to the GS group (8.4%; P<0.025) and the group of patients consisting of POAG patients without deterioration of VFD and GS (9.9%; P<0.05). DH also occurred more often in patients with low tension glaucoma (41.6%) than in the remaining POAG patients (13.5%; P<0.05). No relation between the patients with SPA and the patients with DH was observed.Abbreviations NPB normal platelet behavior - SPA spontaneous platelet aggregation - DH disc haemorrhage     

髁突形态与覆深度关系的研究

目的　探讨髁突形态与不同覆深度的关系。方法　选择正常者、开畸形患者、覆正常的错畸形患者和深覆畸形患者各 5 0人 ,均为 18至 2 6岁成人。应用曲面断层片研究左右两侧的髁突形态 ,分别测量并计算上部髁突高度 /升支高度比 (UCH/RH)和髁突高度 /宽度比 (TCH/CW )。将髁突形态分为四种类型 :直立型 (类A) ,前倾型 (类B) ,后倾型 (类C)和尖型 (类D)。结果　开组的上部髁突高度相对升支高度明显小于其他各组 (P <0 0 0 1)。正常组的髁突形态比较粗壮 ,高度宽度比明显小于其他各组 (P <0 0 0 1)。类A和类B属于正常髁突形态 ,占正常组的 99%。类C和类D属于异常髁突形态 ,且在开组中的比例明显高于正常覆组或深覆组。另外 ,只有开组中显示上部髁突高度两侧不对称 (P <0 0 5 )。结论　开组髁突形态与其他各组相比明显不同。     

自体颅骨碎片及屑修补颅骨缺损(附60例报告)

应用自体颅骨碎片及骨屑对60例在造成颅骨缺损术同时行颅骨缺损修补术。缺损面积直径最小者2cm,最大者10cm。术后随访1个月至5年,病人颅骨缺损修补处外观正常,无凹陷,触之硬,与正常颅骨处类似。6个月拍X线片示颅骨修补处类似正常颅骨形态。     

髂骨复合皮瓣治疗骨缺损13例

严重创伤可造成骨缺损或软组织缺损,临床上较为常见。传统手术常采用Ⅰ期皮瓣修复,消灭创面。Ⅱ期植骨常诱发局部感染,植骨后吸收,多次手术,甚至引起严重感染、皮肤坏死,甚至截肢。随着显微外科技术发展及骨折固定技术提高,自2001年,我们采用髂骨复合皮瓣治疗骨缺损13例,获得良     

彩色多普勒超声诊断房间隔缺损64例与手术对比探讨

目的 研究彩色多普勒超声诊断房间隔缺损(ASD)的准确性。方法 回顾性分析经手术证实的64例ASD患者的超声检查结果并和手术结果对照。结果 64例患者中有1例三房心合并房间隔缺损畸形，1例合并右下肺静脉异位引流漏诊，术前超声正确诊断63例，定性诊断准确率达98．4％，有1例混合型定位不准确，定位准确率在98．4％，而且64例患者中超声检查结果显示在无合并其他畸形时房间缺损大小与右心系统扩大及肺动脉扩张呈正相关关系。结论 ASD是以右室容量超负荷为特征，彩色多普勒超声是诊断房间隔缺损的首选检查方法，并具有较高的准确性。     

The long-term results of meniscus transplantation for articular cartilage defects in the knee joint

The purpose of this study was to examine the long-term clinical results of meniscus transplantation for articular cartilage defects in the knee joint. The type of study was case series. From October 1990 to June 1995, eight cases underwent allogenic or autogenic meniscus transplantations for articular cartilage defects, and seven cases were available for follow-up evaluations. The age at surgery ranged from 14 to 42 years of age (average 22.5). In one case, transplantation of tissue-engineered cartilage was performed due to pain 5 years after surgery. The other six cases were followed up for 8–13 years (average 10.1). The size of the cartilage defect ranged from 1.0 to 6.3 cm² (average 2.8 cm²). Patients were evaluated with the Lysholm score and MR images. We also performed arthroscopic examinations in three cases at the final evaluation. This study leads to the conclusion that meniscus transplantation for articular cartilage damage is not comparable to autologous chondrocyte transplantation. Two cases showed a good clinical outcome but the tissue remained as fibrocartilage tissue in the long-term.     

Periosteal transplantation to the rabbit patella

Autologous periosteal transplantation (without chondrocyte cell transplantation) for treating traumatic articular cartilage defects of the patella gives pain relief in uncontrolled clinical studies. To study the whole transplanted area macroscopically and microscopically, animal studies are motivated. In this pilot study, we reproduce the surgical technique for periosteum transplantation on human patella to a rabbit model. A full-thickness cartilage defect of the whole patella was created in eight adult female rabbits. The defect was treated with autologous periosteal transplantation. After surgery, the rabbits were allowed free activity. This is the difference compared to the treatment in humans, where our group uses CPM for 5 days and non-weight-bearing for 12 weeks. After 21 weeks, there was a diffuse synovitis in all transplanted knees, and in five of eight knees there were signs of osteoarthritis in the patello-femoral joint. Histologically, in three animals, small islands of hyaline cartilage surrounded by fibrocartilage were seen in the transplanted area. In the other five animals, fibrocartilage was the predominant tissue. In contrast to previous experimental studies using a rabbit model, we did not achieve hyaline cartilage resurfacing.     

完全型大动脉错位伴室间隔缺损、肺动脉狭窄的外科治疗

治疗完全型大动脉错位伴室间隔缺损、肺动脉狭窄(TGA/VSD,PS)的手术方式有Rastelli手术、Lecompte手术、Nikaidoh手术、Yamagishi手术以及动脉转位 左心室流出道扩大术等多种术式,Rastelli手术和Lecompte手术损伤小,但远期并发症多;Nikaidoh手术和Yamagishi手术解剖纠治完全,但手术损伤大;动脉转位术 左心室流出道扩大术适应证相对较狭窄。因此,在TGA/VSD,PS的外科治疗上,应根据患者的自身情况和手术指征采取不同的手术方法。现对上述手术术式的优缺点、适应证、禁忌证、疗效和展望进行综述。
