Laryngotracheal stenosis: a serious complication of percutaneous tracheostomy

Tracheostomy in patients requiring prolonged artificial ventilation in intensive care is increasingly being performed by a percutaneous dilatational technique, in preference to the standard surgical method. Since its introduction numerous series have reported favourably on its general safety in the short-term, but there have been few reports of longer term follow-up of patients. We present four cases of laryngotracheal stenosis, a previously unreported complication associated with the technique, and discuss the relevance of these to the future practice of percutaneous tracheostomy.     

Major complications of functional endoscopic sinus surgery

The results of a postal questionnaire indicate an exponential rise in the practice of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in the UK and a major complication rate of 0.23%. Cerebrospinal fluid leak was the most common serious complication accounting for 24 of the 36 reports.     

直视下经尿道内切开术治疗尿道狭窄

目的：探讨直视下经尿道内次切开术治疗尿道狭窄的有效性和安全性。方法：总结直视下经尿道内切开术治疗68例尿道狭窄和闭锁患者的疗效和经验，63例1次手术成功；3例行2次、2例行3次成功。结果：68例中，57例术后随访3～71个月，平均28．3个月，43例(75％)均排尿通畅；2例暂时性尿失禁者分别于术后3～6月内恢复。结论：直视下经尿道内切开术创伤小，并发症少，疗效确切，是尿道狭窄和闭锁的首选治疗方法。     

彩色多普勒超声图指导风湿性心脏病二尖瓣狭窄球囊扩张术91例

目的：应用彩色多普勒超声心动图指导经皮二尖瓣球囊成形术(PBMV)治疗风湿性二尖瓣狭窄的价值、方法：运用彩超对行PBMV的患进行术前术后检查，观察二尖瓣钙化程度及部位、开口形状、瓣口面积、二尖瓣返流(MR)程度、瓣下病变、左房左室大小、左房有无血栓．结果：91例PBMV术后患中，术后MR72例，其中MR新出现19例，MR加重8例、与术前对比，术后二尖瓣开放幅度、二尖瓣口面积、二尖瓣跨瓣压、二尖瓣压差半降时间较术前有明显改善趋势，左房内径、肺动脉内径较术前有缩小趋势．同时，术后左房压、右室压及肺动脉压也有下降趋势。结论：彩超能明确PBMV治疗二尖瓣狭窄的效果。影响：PBMV效果的因素较多，但二尖瓣钙化的程度、部位和瓣膜形态较为重要。     

大肠癌术前肠镜检查与术后结果的临床分析

目的 :探讨大肠癌肠镜检查结果与手术治疗结果的关系。方法 :分析 45例大肠癌的临床资料、大肠镜检查结果及手术治疗情况。结果 :直肠癌检出率最高 ,青年人大肠癌发病率在逐渐上升 ;直肠癌肛门指检阳性率为73.3% ,大肠镜诊断大肠癌的准确率为 10 0 %。结论 :根据大肠镜检查的结果可判断大肠癌的部位、病理分类、范围和程度 ,但其不能作为选择手术方式的依据     

Lateral percutaneous spinothalamic tractotomy

Summary The main elements of the perrcutaneous spinothalamic tractotomy technique by the lateral approach are presented and the results obtained in 163 consecutive patients are communicated. We emphasize the importance of its early use in cases of intractable pain avoiding drug addiction. The simplicity of the method permits a less strict selection of the patients compared with the classic open cordotomy.     

Preventing percutaneous absorption of industrial chemicals: the "skin" denotation

Percutaneous absorption has received comparatively little attention in occupational health, although this route of entry has repeatedly caused occupation-related intoxications. In practice, the evaluation of skin penetration rates is far from simple. Much evidence has been obtained from studies of chemicals used for cosmetics and topical therapeutics, but the information available on compounds encountered in occupational health is limited. The data obtained from experimental studies have confirmed that the concentration, type of vehicle, skin area, skin condition, and extent of occlusion are important factors in determining the degree of percutaneous absorption, but no general model has been developed. Also, too little is known about the basic chemical properties governing the rate of penetration. Thus, prediction is difficult and bound to be rather inaccurate. Current preventive practice follows the procedure used by ACGIH and is mainly based on a "skin" denotation in official listings of chemicals to which exposure limits have been allocated. The number of substances and groups of chemicals which have received skin denotation in 17 selected countries varies between 24 and 179 and a total of 275 are listed as a skin hazard in one or more countries; ACGIH lists 143. Thus, the denotation practice varies. As an unfortunate result of these discrepancies and the dichotomy of skin denotation, the absence of skin denotation may erroneously indicate that efforts to protect the skin are unnecessary. Thus, an evaluation of skin penetration potentials should be incorporated in occupational health practice as a supplement to the official denotations.     

经皮射频消融与手术切除治疗直径≤ 3 cm原发性小肝癌的疗效分析

目的 分析经皮射频消融（PRFA）与手术切除治疗直径≤3 cm原发性小肝癌的疗效。方法 选取2015年1月—2017年6月兰州市第二人民医院收治的原发性小肝癌患者78例。将36例接受PRFA治疗的患者作为观察组,另外42例行手术切除的患者作为对照组。采用全自动生化分析仪检测血清谷草转氨酶（AST）、谷丙转氨酶（ALT）、总胆红素（TBIL）水平,电化学发光全自动免疫分析仪检测血清甲胎蛋白（AFP）水平。结果 观察组手术时间、术中出血量、住院时间均少于对照组（P <0.05）;观察组治疗前后AST、ALT、TBIL、AFP的差值均高于对照组组（P <0.05）。两组术后并发症比较,差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）;两组治疗后1、2、3、5年的生存率和复发率比较,差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。结论 与手术切除比较,PRFA治疗直径≤3 cm原发性小肝癌可缩短手术时间,减少术中出血量,促进肝功能恢复,但两者术后并发症发生率、生存率和复发率接近。
