氟骨症性椎管狭窄症的手术治疗

１９８７～１９９０年手术治疗氟骨症性椎管狭窄症１００例。包括颈椎９例，胸椎８例，腰、骶椎８３例。术后随访１～４年，复查结果：临床治愈９３例（９３％）：显效３例（３％）、有效３例（３％）、无效１例（１％）。手术原则是彻底减压，因氟骨症具有椎骨及其骨周组织严重退变、异化和骨化的临床病理特点，故在胸、腰椎减压术后，一般不影响其稳定性，在颈椎施行双开式或单开式椎管扩大加植骨融合术，则可收减压、稳定及防止或减少椎板间隙瘢痕狭窄的效果。     

椎板后移回植的椎管扩大术治疗椎管狭窄症

作者报告棘突劈开、椎板后移回植的椎管扩大术治疗椎管狭窄症１８２例，使椎管容积扩大３４．８％，横径扩大３．８ｍｍ，矢径扩大６．１ｍｍ。随访２年９个月，优良率８６．６％，椎板愈合率９６．９％。本文探讨少数椎板迟延愈合的原因和预防措施，如斜切椎板、缝合固定和腰背筋膜与棘上韧带悬吊缝合等。术后卧床１０～１２周，用石膏型保护。作者认为本法能有效的预防术后脊柱不稳，顽固性腰痛等并发症。     

腰椎间盘突出合并椎管狭窄的手术治疗

报告手术治疗腰椎间盘突出症合并退行性腰椎管狭窄症１０４例。术后随访９０例，随诊时６个月～６年。优良率８６．５％，无腰椎不稳和腰椎滑脱等并发症。为获得优良效果，作者强调在处理椎间盘突出的同时必须彻底解除侧隐窝及神经根管，黄韧带肥厚对神经根的压迫，才能彻底根除症状

Learning root debridement with curettes and power-driven instruments in vitro: the role of operator motivation and self-assessment

The influence of systematic dummy-head training with Periopolishe (PP, group A) and Gracey instruments (GRA, group B) on the effectiveness of root debridement was evaluated by Rühling et al., 2002 (9). Their results indicate that independent of the instrument used, untrained operators were only able to debride root surfaces at low levels of effectiveness. It was possible to increase effectiveness to a high level through systematic training in both groups. The aim of the present study was to assess the role of operator motivation and self-assessment on scaling effectiveness. Before baseline, operators were asked to answer a questionnaire rating the expectation of the instrument performance. Four groups of inexperienced operators (n = 11 each) received 10 weeks dummy-head training. In groups A (GRA) and B (PP), training was combined with a motivational programme. Groups C (GRA) and D (PP) received the same training, but no additional motivational programme. In a dummy-head, 10 test teeth were debrided and operators were asked to estimate their effectiveness of debridement at each test day. Effectiveness was calculated as percentage of debrided root area on 10 test teeth at different time points with an image analysis programme (NIH Image) and ANOVA. Two groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test (unpaired) and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test (paired). Motivated groups (A and B) reached about 25% higher debridement results (p < 0.001) and were able to estimate their effectiveness more precisely compared to groups C and D. In the low motivation groups (C and D), overestimation of more than 20% was evident (p < 0.001). The questionnaires revealed underestimation of the GRA instruments and overestimation of PP instruments. Operator motivation and self-assessment greatly influence learning of effective root debridement.     

神经根慢性嵌压损伤的动物模型建立

目的：建立一种由自身骨性增生造成神经根慢性嵌压损伤的动物模型，为相关实验提供造模方法一方法：30只健康家猫，手术显露右侧C7、C8和L5、L6冲经根及其椎问孔内口，用牙髓钻破坏椎间孔周围骨皮质后，将“V”形松质骨块沿骨壁嵌于神经根通道的骨性管道内及侧隐窝后方，左侧做正常对照。在造模术前和术后第2、4、8、12、24周行磁刺激运动诱发电位(MEP)检测，每次随机选6只，4～5只行影像学检查，以确定神经根通道的狭窄程度和神经根受压状态，6只均做病理组织学检查和椎间孔截面积测量。结果：术后早期实验侧肢体出现行为异常：而后有不同程度肌萎缩；后期部分肢体远端出现溃疡。影像学检查随着嵌压时间延长．实验侧椎间孔骨痂增多，狭窄加重。神经根受压变形，椎间孔骨性截面积8周后明显减小，与对照侧比较有显著性差异。术后2周，神经根组织学检查主要表现为神经束膜、内膜的水肿。髓鞘肿胀；4周后发生节段性脱髓鞘：8周时神经轴突增粗、断裂，远端瓦勒氏变性；12周后变性冲经结构崩解、吸收，形成空洞：24周时整个神经干纤维化。术后4周时实验侧MEP开始出现潜伏期延长；8周时伴有波形分化不清；12周波幅明显下降：24周MEP的引出困难，部分电位消失。结论：采用椎问孔内自体松质骨植入，造成神经根慢性嵌压性损伤模型成功率高，操作简单，适用于脊柱各个节段，其损伤部位和形式与临床更为接近。     

Anal Canal Cancer

PURPOSE: This study was designed to obtain an updated population-based perspective on anal canal cancer incidence rates, demographics, and outcomes using a nationwide database. Eight-five percent of all carcinomas of the anus are anal canal cancers, and previous studies suggest that incidence rates may be rising. Although the most successful treatment for anal canal cancer has been chemoradiation, little information at the population-level exists regarding demographics, treatment, and survival. METHODS: All patients diagnosed with anal canal cancer from 1973 to 1998 in the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results cancer registry were analyzed. Data regarding demographics, cancer characteristics, treatment, and survival were assessed. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed. RESULTS: A total of 4,841 patients were studied (mean age was 61 years; 62 percent female). Female patients were significantly older than male patients (65 vs. 58 years; P < 0.0001). There was a yearly increase in incidence of anal canal cancers (from 1973–1998). Disease prevalence by stage was localized (53 percent), regional (38 percent), and distant (9 percent). Racial/stage differences were seen, because black patients had less localized disease than white patients (46 vs. 53 percent; P < 0.01). Overall five-year survival for the entire cohort was 53 percent, and cancer-specific survival was 84 percent. Survival improved per decade (based on year of diagnosis). Significant survival differences in race were noted, but were less when the receipt of treatment was considered. CONCLUSION: Although most anal canal cancer reviews are single institutional series, this study was performed with population-based data. The incidence of anal canal cancer is increasing, and overall survival rates are improving. Important disparities in care were identified, which need to be addressed.

Dorsal root ganglia cocultured with macrophages: an in vitro model to study experimental demyelination

The present investigation introduces an in vitro model to study macrophage properties during demyelination. Rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were cultured for obtaining myelinated peripheral nerve fibers. These cultures were exposed to non-resident macrophages. In untreated control cultures, there was no indication of myelin removal by the added macrophages. DRG were exposed to enzymatically generated oxygen radicals using the xanthin/xanthin oxidase or the glucose/glucose oxidase system. Assessment of Schwann cell viability and ultrastructural morphology revealed different patterns of cell cytotoxicity and morphological changes in different experiments. High concentrations caused complete tissue necrosis of the DRG, while low concentrations did not affect either cell viability or ultrastructural morphology. Under intermediate experimental conditions, oxygen radicals caused non-lethal Schwann cell damage leading to Schwann cell retraction and myelin sheath rejection. Myelin lamellae were disrupted and decompacted. These changes were followed by a selective macrophage attack on myelin sheats, resulting in demyelination. Axons, Schwann cells and sensory ganglion cells survived this attack. The specificity of the oxygen radical effects was tested in experiments using the oxygen radical scavengers catalase and superoxide dismutase. Catalase prevented the described effects on cell morphology and subsequently blocked demyelination by non-resident macrophages.Supported by a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) (Br 1274/1-1)     

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。
