Densities in dependent lung regions during anaesthesia: atelectasis or fluid accumulation?

In previous studied with computed tomography (CT) prior to and during general anaesthesia, we found that densities developed in dependent parts of the lungs immediately after induction of anaesthesia in all examined patients. It was suggested that the densities were atelectases created by compression of lung tissue but an alternative explanation could be accumulation of extravascular fluid in the lung tissue and/or in the pleural space. In the present study the nature of the densities was analysed in further detail. Injections of contrast medium into the pleural space revealed that the densities were located in the lung tissue and not in the pleural space. By injecting contrast medium intravenously and repeating the CT scanning over a 2-min period the passage of contrast through the major vessels and the lung densities could be studied. The transit time of the contrast medium was of the same magnitude in the densities and the major lung vessels. This indicates that there were no regions with an increased amount of extravascular fluid to delay the contrast passage. These findings oppose the idea of fluid accumulation as the cause of the densities, while atelectasis remains the most plausible explanation.     

无创通气不同呼吸界面对COPD患者的生理学影响

目的 探讨无创正压通气(NPPV)时不同呼吸界面对慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)急性加重期并呼吸衰竭患者的生理学影响.方法 选择30例COPD急性加重期并呼吸衰竭患者.无创正压通气时患者随机先后接受不同呼吸界面(面罩、鼻罩和鼻塞).动态观察不同呼吸界面时患者呼吸方式、血气分析和对呼吸界面耐受性等的差异.结果 (1)与自主呼吸相比,无创正压通气时三种不同呼吸界面均可改善患者的潮气量、分钟通气量和呼吸频率(P＜0.01),三种不同呼吸界面时的呼吸频率相似(P＞0.05),但面罩时的潮气量和分钟通气量比鼻罩时更高(P＜0.05);(2)与自主呼吸相比,无创正压通气时三种不同呼吸界面均可改善患者的动脉血气(P＜0.05),面罩和鼻塞时的PCO2比鼻罩时更低(P＜0.05);(3)患者均可耐受三种不同的呼吸界面,但患者对鼻罩的耐受性比面罩和鼻塞更好(P＜0.01).结论 本生理学研究证实了无创正压通气可改善COPD急性加重期并呼吸衰竭患者的呼吸方式和动脉血气,面罩和鼻塞时的疗效更佳,而鼻罩时的耐受性更好.     

板层角膜移植治疗绿脓杆菌性角膜溃疡的临床价值

目的探讨绿脓杆菌性角膜溃疡的病理机制及安全有效的治疗方法。方法应用板层角膜移植术治疗即将穿孔的绿脓杆菌性角膜溃疡，并对病变组织做病理活检。结果２１例（２１只眼）均获得一次手术便可有效控制角膜炎症、成功恢复角膜外形及保留较好视力的理想效果。组织病理学显示，该病除有严重的炎症坏死性改变外，角膜缘球结膜与巩膜、角膜溃疡周围及溃疡底部均有大量淋巴细胞浸润、角膜胶原变性水肿及新生血管伸入。结论绿脓杆菌性角膜溃疡可能存在炎症反应与变态反应共同参与的病理机制，板层角膜移植术能有效阻断上述机制而获理想临床效果。     

磁共振成像对颅内脑膜瘤水肿分析

目的：探讨脑膜瘤周围脑水肿的程度和肿瘤的生长部位．质地．组织学亚型的相关性．研究其瘤周水肿的形成原因．材料和方法：使用经手术和病理证实的65例脑膜瘤MRI和临床病理资料．观察分析脑膜瘤的瘤周水肿的程度．肿瘤的质地，组织学亚型等．结果：发生于大脑颅盖部或／和有矢状窦受累的脑膜瘤有明显的脑水肿．而发生于其它部位(颅底，丘脑、小脑、脑池等)无或只有轻度脑水肿．结论：轻度脑水肿主要是脑膜瘤对脑组织的直接压迫，而中，重度脑水肿主要是脑膜瘤对大脑表面引流静脉尤其是矢状窦的压迫或阻塞．脑水肿和肿瘤的发生部位有关，面和肿瘤的质地、组织学亚型无关．     

膀胱癌组织形态定量分析和病理学研究：附20例报告

Regression of Pulmonary and Multiple Skeletal Metastases from Renal Cell Carcinoma by Nephrectomy and Alpha-interferon Therapy: A Case Report

We report a rare case of advanced renal cell carcinoma in apatient who showed complete resolution of metastases to thelung and bones after nephrectomy, partial jejunectomy and subsequentalpha-interferon therapy. The patient was a 54-year-old manwhose right lung and left femur metastases were detected beforenephrectomy. In the seventh week after nephrectomy, a partialjejunectomy was carried out because of the obstructive ileuscaused by intraluminal multiple metastases of the jejunum. Apathological fracture of the metastasized right humerus occurredsubsequently. After four months of intramuscular alpha-interferonadministration (3x106 units/day), however, x-rays revealed thecomplete disappearance of the metastatic lung shadow and a solidunion of the humerus, and there were no tumor cells in the femurspecimen resected at the subsequent reconstruction surgery ofthe left leg. Seven years have passed from onset, and the patientis still alive and disease free.

NO对兔局灶脑缺血脑水肿和脑梗塞灶的影响

本文在兔MCAO局灶脑缺血模型基础上,利用外源性一氧化氮(NO)前体物质L-精氨酸和NOS抑制剂L-NNA研究NO对脑缺血后脑水肿和脑梗塞的影响。NZW兔42只随机分为7组,每组6只,计对照组、假手术组、MCAO组、MCAO+NS组、MCAO+L-Arg组、MCAO+D-Arg组及MCAO+L-Arg+L-NNA组。结果提示:与单纯MCAO组比较,L-Arg组的脑组织H_2O、Na~+、Ca~(2+)含量明显下降(P<0.01),脑梗塞灶亦明显缩小(P<0.01)。从而显示L-Arg系通过产生NO促使血管舒张而减轻脑水肿和缩小梗塞灶,为临床改进脑缺血的治疗提供依据。     

胸部高分辨率CT检查技术的临床应用

笔者对５０例肺部疾病胸部常规ＣＴ和高分辨率ＣＴ（ＨＲＣＴ）图像进行了对照分析。其中特发性肺间质纤维化（ＩＦＰ）８例，肺转移癌５例，支气管扩张１５例，慢性阻塞性肺气肿１５例，周围型肺癌７例，结果表明：ＨＲＣＴ在ＩＦＰ、支气管扩张和肺气肿的显示明显优于常规ＣＴ（Ｐ＜０．００１），在对肺部原发或转移性肿瘤的显示能提供更多的诊断信息。笔者还讨论了ＨＲＣＴ的检查技术和图像后处理，分析了影响ＨＲＣＴ的若干因素，指出通过缩小视野（ＦＯＶ），减少象素做图像的重建放大显示肺部局部结构更为清楚方便，应灵活运用。
