Diving physiology and pathophysiology

Summary. Divers have worked at 500 m depth in the sea and have reached 700 m in simulated chamber dives. A prerequisite for this has been extensive physiological studies of the body's reactions to pressure and pressure changes. This paper reviews such physiological and pathophysiological studies with emphasis on recent developments.     

Segmental fixation with U-shaped rod in the treatment of spondylolisthesis

Summary From 1987 to 1990 the authors treated 20 cases of spondylolisthesis by an improved operative procedure including excision of the medial part of the superior articular processes of the slipped vertebra, excision of the soft tissue between the ununited isthmi, and excision of the ligamentum flavum between the intervertebral space above the slipped segment. In some instances the lower portion of the lamina over the slipped vertebra should be resected. A U-shaped rod was used to hold sublaminar fixation of two segments above and below the slipped vertebra, with the slipped vertebra spared. Utilizing the U-shaped rod as support, bone strips were placed along the lateral and anterior sides of the rod to bridge the gap between the laminae of the displaced vertebra. Other bone grafts were focused on the facet joints. The patients were allowed ambulation early postoperatively. 19 cases could be evaluated at preliminary follow-up. All showed satisfactory results.     

颈椎椎体次全切除钛网钉板系统的临床应用

目的探讨颈椎前路椎体次全切除钛网钉板植骨融合的临床效果。方法自2001年3月～2003年3月间应用颈前路椎体次全切除钛网植骨融合及钉板固定治疗颈椎管狭窄性疾病22例，其中4例患者行2椎体次全切除3节椎间隙减压手术。术后观察减压、固定、融合及神经功能恢复情况，并行X线摄片或CT扫描检查。结果患者获6～12个月随访，神经功能得到不同程度改善，无加重情况。椎间隙高度无丢失、无成角，均获得骨性融合。术后3d在颈围领固定下下床活动，4周后可恢复较轻工作。结论此术式可避免传统手术方法的缺点，即不取自体髂骨，融合率高，稳定性好，并减压彻底，疗效好，是一种值得推广的新技术。     

Spinal cord restitution following compression injuries in rats

Spinal cord compression injuries were produced in rats by applying weights to a plate 2.2 x 50 mm in size, placed on the exposed midthoracic dura covering the spinal cord. The influence of force and duration of compression was studied by using 3 different weights, 20, 35 and 50 g, applied for 1, 5 and 10 min. Postoperative neurological function was tested by the inclined plane method and the rats were observed for 3 weeks. Neurological impairment increased with force and duration of compression. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that patients suffering from spinal cord injury should be investigated immediately for signs of persistent cord compression. If this is present, early decompression might be of value, although nothing is known in man concerning the limits of force and duration of compression permitting postoperative neurological recovery.     

颈前路带锁钛板在脊髓型颈椎病手术中的应用

目的评价脊髓型颈椎病前路减压后应用带锁钛板内固定的价值。方法对51例脊髓型颈椎病患者采用前路减压、取自体髂骨植骨和颈椎带锁钛板内固定治疗。结果随访43例,平均随访时间2a,术后3个月植骨块获得骨性融合,颈椎椎间高度和生理曲度维持满意,感觉、肌力明显恢复,钛板及螺钉无松动及断裂现象。结论脊髓型颈椎病前路减压术后应用带锁钛板内固定能促使植骨块融合,有效地维持椎间高度和颈椎生理曲度,有较高的应用价值。     

Microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm: postoperative neurologic follow-up and evaluation of life quality

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is an effective and safe treatment in hemifacial spasm (HFS). Postoperative evaluations are usually made by neurosurgeons. Follow-up studies performed by neurologists and postoperative quality of life (QoL) investigations are lacking. All 25 HFS patients operated with MVD in our centre between 2000 and 2004 were evaluated with the recently validated HFS-7 scheme, extended with the item 'sleep disturbance due to HFS' (HFS-8). The patients underwent a careful neurological examination median 3 years after the operation. The evaluation focused on clinical aspects, changes in blood pressure and time until observable effect of MVD. The evaluation of HFS-7 questionnaire and the extended form (HFS-8) showed significant improvement in QoL after MVD. Neurological outcome was in almost all cases excellent or good. Eleven (44%) patients had no neurological deficits at all. Only one patient had serious complications with ipsilateral facial palsy, deafness, balance problems and vertigo. The other patients had minor neurological findings or symptoms. Eighteen (72%) patients experienced early effect within 3 months after MVD; seven (28%) patients had late effect between 6 and 14 months. Median age of the patients with late effect (62.6 years) was significantly higher than in those with early effect (52.7 years).     

围套式显微血管减压术治疗面肌痉挛

使用围套式显微血管减压术治疗面肌痉挛５０例。采用耳后斜行小切口，分离压迫血管后，用涤沦片包绕面神经根起始部并用银夹固定，术后４９例痉挛停止。本法并发症少，无死亡。术后随访３个月至１０年均无复发。根据术中发现将“责任血管”分为４型：接触型、压迫型、粘连包绕型和贯穿型。讨论了手术适应证、要求及并发症的预防等。     

Arnold-Chiari畸形合并脊髓空洞症的外科治疗

目的：寻求Arnold—Chiari畸形合并脊髓空洞症的病因、发病机制和确实合适的手术方案及术式。方法：通过回顾性分析天津医科大学总医院神经外科在1990年至2003年间收治的143例病例，对比不同手术方式术前术后MRI和临床症状的变化，寻找其间的规律。结果：术前MRI显示，有空洞者比单纯小脑扁桃体下疝者后颅窝更加紧密。术后症状均缓解，MRI显示空洞均减小，但后颅窝减压术者可见小脑扁桃体回缩，而脊髓空洞一腹腔分流术者小脑扁桃体回缩不明显。结论：Arnold—Chiari畸形合并脊髓空洞症是多因素引起的疾病，不能以单一因素来解释。脊髓蛛网膜下腔，特别是颅颈结合部的脑脊液循环障碍，是各种病因的共同点。因此，解除脑脊液循环障碍是治疗这种疾病的关键环节和最终目的。
