RETROPERITONEAL SCHWANNOMA: A CASE SERIES AND REVIEW

Schwannomas account for only a small percentage of retroperitoneal tumours. Presentation is typically varied and non-specific and pre-operative diagnosis is difficult. Herein are described five cases of retroperitoneal schwannoma. Presentation was varied, ranging from abdominal pain, abdominal mass, obstructed labour or an incidental finding. All patients had either an abdominal computed tomography scan and/or ultrasound performed. Pre-operative biopsy either by fine needle aspiration (in one patient) or core biopsy in two patients was unhelpful. In four patients with smaller tumours, complete excision was possible with no apparent long-term morbidity and no clinical evidence of recurrent tumour with follow up from 3.5 months to 11 years. For the largest tumour, complete surgical excision was not attempted as it would have entailed significant morbidity.     

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair:Indications and technique

Arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears is now possible. By using the biomechanical principles of margin convergenceand the balance of force couples, even large cuff defects can be repaired. Suture anchors are particularly suitable for arthroscopic repairs, and a corkscrew anchor design lends itself to a trans-tendon approach     

大剂量地塞米松及SOD在实验性脑损伤中的治疗作用

大剂量地塞米松和ＳＯＤ是外伤性脑继发性损害药物治疗的新方案。本实验在豚鼠局灶性脑损伤模型上试用该两种药物，通过脑含水量、灶周伊文斯兰渗出、血ＣＫ、Ｃａ和ＬＤＨ含室及光镜和电镜病理检查等指标。     

梗阻性黄疸引起肾脏病理学及超微病理学改变的实验与临床研究

作者对梗阻性黄疸（梗黄）大鼠及６例临床梗黄病人的肾脏组织进行了光镜和电镜观察。目的是描述肾脏损害的病理和超微病理改变，并试图从病理改变来探讨肾脏损害的可能病因及肾脏功能的改变。观察发现主要病变为肾小球萎缩，鲍曼氏囊间隙扩大，肾小球毛细血管基膜明显增厚，其三层结构消失，内有大量胆色素颗粒沉积，血管内皮窗孔明显减少，足突融合；近曲小管上皮细胞变性、坏死，胞质内有大量胆色素颗粒沉积，小管腔内可见脱落的坏死细胞、胆泥、胆栓及蛋白管型，微绒毛紊乱、稀疏、脱落，线粒体高度水肿，内质网扩张，脂滴、溶酶体明显增多。据此，我们认为：（１）梗黄可引起明显肾脏损害，其病变同时累及肾小球和肾小管，但以近曲小管病变为重；（２）胆汁成分于肾脏内的沉积在梗黄引起肾脏损害的发病中起一定作用；（３）梗黄可导致肾脏功能改变。     

Paralysis of the axillary nerve with Complete compensation – a case report

Summary Two patients with complete paralysis of the axillary nerve are reported on. One case is well documented. In both cases there was very good functional adaptation, resulting from hypertrophy of the rotator cuff so that there was only a slight or no loss of movement. The rotator cuff should therefore be exercised at an early stage when there is isolated axillary nerve damage. The function of the supraspinous muscle is also discussed.      

Histopathology of the teeth in segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia: new findings

Histological examination of the deciduous teeth in two cases of segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOMD) showed fibrous enlargement of the pulps, an irregular pulp/dentine interface displaying many pseudoinclusions and pulp stones. There were tubular defects in the coronal dentine from pulp horn to cusp tip, an irregular tubular structure to the circumpulpal dentine of the apical half, a focally deficient odontoblast layer and widespread external resorption. Together with the clinical features of unilateral maxillary enlargement, upper alveolar expansion in the distal segment, increased spacing and delayed eruption of the deciduous molars and absence of premolar teeth, these histological appearances allow distinction of this condition from fibrous dysplasia (FD), segmental hemifacial hypertrophy (SHH) and regional odontodysplasia (ROD).     

阿昔洛韦对单纯疱疹病毒脑炎小鼠脑细胞的保护作用

目的 了解单纯疱疹病毒脑炎(HSE)脑细胞结构的改变及药物的影响。方法 采用光学显微镜及透射电子显微镜观察HSE小鼠脑细胞结构的变化，并给予阿昔洛韦(ACV)及地塞米松(DEX)治疗，观察治疗后脑细胞结构的变化。结果 HSE小鼠脑神经细胞明显肿胀，核仁固缩，核内结构破坏，线粒体及高尔基体可见空泡样变性，核仁内可见病毒颗粒。用药物干预的小鼠脑神经细胞改变较轻微，未找到病毒颗粒；与单用ACV干预的小鼠相比，用ACV DEX干预的小鼠脑神经细胞及毛细血管周围水肿明显减轻。结论 HSE早期给予ACV DEX治疗，对HSE脑细胞结构有明显保护作用。     

Survivin在T细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤组织中的表达及临床意义

【目的】了解生存蛋白Survivin在T细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤（T—NHL）中的表达，以及Survivin表达与预后的关系。【方法】用免疫组化S-P法检测83例T细胞NHL组织Survivin表达情况，分析Survivin表达与预后的关系。【结果】Survivin表达阴性10例（12％），表达阳性73例（88％），Survivin表达与病理类型、性别、年龄、B症状、结外病变数、PS、分期、LDH水平、IPI等临床特征均无相关性（P〉0．05）。78例接受了化疗，大多数采用CHOP方案化疗，全组CR率45％，有效率86％，Survivin阴性者CR率60％，阳性者43％（P〉0．05）。中位随访22月（1—76月），全组5年生存率31％，Survivin表达阳性的T—NHL患者5年生存率明显低于Survivin表达阴性患者（21％比70％，P〈0．001）。多因素分析显示Survivin表达是T细胞NHL的独立预后指标。【结论】Survivin在T细胞NHL表达上调，Survivin阳性T—NHL患者5年生存率低于Survivin阴性者，Survivin表达可能为T细胞NHL预后的独立指标。
