Quantitative assessment of technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile planar perfusion heart studies: application. of multivariate analysis to patient classification

A quantified evaluation of planar cardiac perfusion scintigrams (the objective of the study), obtained using technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) was performed on the basis of an analysis of circumferential profile curves, representing the perfusion as seen in three typical projections. The analysis involved the curves obtained both at rest and after stress, and was based on a comparison of their shape (trend) with the normal trend (normative evaluation). The latter was obtained by means of an original method of iterative fitting of individual curves into the database. The base consisted of curves recorded in 53 patients (separately in males and females) with normal perfusion of the left ventricle (group I, the reference group). A group of 90 patients suspected of having coronary artery disease (group II) was subdivided into two subgroups on the basis of coronary arteriography: (a) those with and (b) those without critical stenosis of at least one artery. Profile curves characterising the LV perfusion were obtained at rest and after stress. Defects of perfusion were quantified by comparison of individual curves with the normal trends. By means of multivariate analysis it was demonstrated that vectors of mean values characterising the scintigraphically assessed defects of LV perfusion in the two subgroups of group II differed very significantly (P<10^–5). Applying methods of discriminant analysis, a classification of patients from group II was performed into those with probable defects of perfusion and those free of such defects. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of diagnosis of coronary ischaemia, based on quantified planar^99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy, reached 86%, 87% and 87%, respectively.     

The effect of prior back surgery on surgical outcome in patients operated on for lumbar spinal stenosis a matched-pair study

Summary It has been widely observed that the outcome after repeat lumbar surgery is rarely comparable to that of primary surgery. In particular, the results of repeat surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) have not been favourable. We used a matched-pair format in an attempt to decrease the confounding factors so as to determine as exactly as possible the effect of prior back surgery on the LSS patients surgical outcome. The matching criteria were sex, age, myelographic findings, major symptom, and duration of symptoms. From one group of 251 patients without prior back surgery (SO patients) and another of fifty-three patients with one preceding back operation (RS patients), forty-one similar matched patients pairs (one SO and one RS-patient) were formed.There were 8 female and 33 male pairs. The mean age of the SO patients was 51.6 and of the RS patient 51.4 years, and the mean follow-up time was 4.6 and 4.4 years. The assessment of outcome was based on a subjective disability questionnaire. The SO patients fared significantly better than the RS patients (32.1 versus 41.3, P = 0.026). A short time interval between operations in the RS patients had a worsening effect on outcome, but this trend was not significant.We concluded that one preceding back operation had a worsening effect on the outcome of patients operated on for LSS. As a whole, the results of RS patients were unfavourable. The proper time for achieving good surgical results in LSS patients is the initial operation.

MRI测量颈胸角在选择颈胸段脊柱手术入路中的临床应用

目的 :探讨在颈胸段脊柱术前应结合患者的颈胸段MRI的个体特征和疾病情况 ,选择手术创伤最小的手术入路。方法 :共 76例患者 ,其中 2 6例为颈胸段脊柱损伤 ,35例为颈胸段脊柱肿瘤 ,脊髓型颈椎病 12例 ,以及 3例颈胸段椎板减压术后后凸畸形。男 4 7例 ,女 2 9例。平均年龄 4 5 5岁 ,年龄范围 19～ 6 5岁。同时抽取 95套颈胸段MRI片。作胸骨上切迹向后水平延长线和胸骨上切迹向后上方至C7T1椎间盘前缘中点的连线 ,测量两线之夹角 ,称为颈胸角 (cervicothoracicangle ,CTA)。结果 :CTA平均为 4 7 6 4°(范围 2 5°～ 73°)。大于此平均角度且病灶在胸骨切迹水平线以上时可考虑低位下颈椎入路 ,5 0例 ;CTA较小 ,且病灶范围广 ,或尚累及T3 、T4,可以考虑经胸骨柄入路 ,13例 ;病灶范围广泛 ,经全胸骨入路 3例 ;Ⅰ期或Ⅱ期前后联合入路 5例 ;经右侧肩胛下后外侧胸腔入路 5例。结论 :颈胸段脊柱手术应尽量选择低位下颈椎入路等创伤较小的入路 ,其次考虑经胸骨柄入路。长节段脊柱受累的患者才考虑经右侧肩胛下后外侧胸腔或经全胸骨等创伤较大的入路。术前可以结合患者的病灶累及范围和颈胸手术角等MRI影像学表现 ,从而利于选择最合适的手术入路 ,减少手术风险、手术创伤和并发症 ,利于患者早日康复     

增龄过程中心脏径限的变化及其影响因素

为探讨年龄增长及伴随的一些生理性变化对心脏径限的影响,对300余例20—81岁(平均46±16岁)的正常成人进行了超声心动图研究。多元逐步回归及协方差分析表明,左室壁厚度随年龄俱增,而左室舒张未期内径变化不大;室间隔/左室后壁厚度比值亦渐有增长,反映了室间隔的随龄增长稍快于左室后壁,故在增龄过程中,左室流出道稍有缩小;左房、主动脉根部和右室内径均有随年龄而增长的变化。二尖瓣舒张期 EF 斜率随年龄增长渐有下降,可能反映了左室顺应性的降低及二尖瓣弹性的减退。此外,一些心脏测值有性别差异,不少径限尚与体格大小或血压水平有相关关系。对于不同年龄组间心脏径限差异的原因,以及心脏径限彼此间的关系进行了分析和讨论,认为在临床上评价心脏径限正常与否和异常程度时,应考虑年龄、性别、体格大小、血压等因素的影响。     

大剂量肾上腺素在心脏骤停抢救中的应用体会

目的探讨大剂量肾上腺素在心肺复苏中的应用情况。方法对2002年以来11例应用大剂量肾上腺素进行心肺复苏的病例做回顾性研究。结果在应用大剂量肾上腺素后心肺复苏成功率明显提高达73%。结论目前推荐的肾上腺素剂量(1mg)可能太小,不能使骤停的心脏都复跳,建议使用大剂量肾上腺素。
