Morphometric study of nucleolar organizer regions in human oral normal mucosa, papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma

A morphometric study of nucleolar organizer regions (NOR) was performed to analyze their distribution, volume, number and shape in the different strata of human normal oral mucosa epithelium and papilloma and in squamous cell carcinoma employing microphotographs of silver-stained paraffin sections. The different NOR-related parameters evidenced significant differences between normal mucosa, papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma. The functional polarity of normal mucosa epithelium and of papilloma is also evidenced in terms of NOR-related parameters. The discriminative value of certain NOR parameters was demonstrated.     

Precise and accurate measurement of proton T1 in human brain in vivo: Validation and preliminary clinical application

Precise and accurate inversion-recovery (PAIR) magnetic resonance (MR) measurements of T1 were obtained in eight brain regions and cerebrospinal fluid of 26 healthy volunteers. Accuracy of the technique was assessed by measuring T1 in small fluid volumes with the PAIR technique and with two independent spectroscopic techniques. The mean difference between T1 measured with PAIR and with the two spectroscopic techniques was 3.1% ± 1.3. The precision (reproducibility) of measurements with the PAIR technique was excellent. The coefficient of variation (CV) across 16 measurements in a head phantom was 2.0%, compared with a CV of 2.7% across 45 separate measurements in a single subject. The within-subject CV was 1.8% ± 0.6 in white matter and 1.4% ± 1.0 in basal ganglia. The between-subject CV in 26 healthy volunteers was 3.6% ± 0.6 in white matter and 4.1% ± 1.9 in basal ganglia. Comparison between a patient with an active recurrent brain tumor and an agematched patient with an inactive brain tumor showed that T1 was significantly elevated throughout the brain of the active-tumor patient, especially in white matter tracts, even though no tumor or edema was detected in the white matter on standard MR images. Comparisons between five brain tumor patients and four healthy volunteers of similar age showed that T1 was significantly and substantially elevated throughout the white matter tracts and in the caudate nucleus, putamen, and thalamus. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that white matter tracts are selectively vulnerable to edema and that T1 increases in white matter are a sensitive indicator of patient status or tumor aggressiveness.     

椎管内转移癌病人氨甲喋呤配伍高渗盐水硬膜外灌注治疗顽固性疼痛的临床探讨

１０例椎管内转移癌病人曾长期使用大剂量镇痛药难以奏效，而少数病例便采用硬膜外腔注射吗啡２～４ｍｇ疼痛缓解仅１ｈ。采用硬膜外腔灌注氨甲喋呤配伍高渗盐水，使抗癌药直接与肿瘤接触，几分钟内杀死癌细胞，加之高渗盐水能促使肿瘤和神经干脱水，肿瘤体积缩小和破坏，改善局部动脉缺血和组织水肿，从而减轻或消除肿瘤对神经根的压迫，缓解和消除神经痛。     

28例青年人胃癌的临床及病理分析

对２８例青年人胃癌的临床及病理分析结果表明，其发病具有症状隐匿、病程短、进展快的特点，本组病例从出现症状到漏诊在６个月内为５７．１％（１６例），首发症状以上腹部疼痛、吐血、黑便多见，病理特征以结节蕈伞型、高分化腺癌多见。     

16例胸膜间皮瘤临床分析

１６例胸膜间皮瘤，其中１例有石棉接触史，占６．１７％；＞４０岁者占８１．５％。主要临床表现为胸痛、气短、咳嗽、低热和胸腔积液，临床上易误诊为结核性胸膜炎、肺癌胸膜转移等。胸部ｘ线检查及胸部ＣＴ对该病的诊断有帮助，大都有特征性表现。确诊靠针刺胸膜活检及开胸活检。胸膜间皮瘤的治疗主要采用手术、放疗和化疗，对于局限型治疗首选手术切除。肿瘤的良、恶性、疾病的分期及治疗与预后有一定关系。

肺鳞癌间质毛细血管基底膜Ⅳ型胶原免疫组化研究

本文应用Ⅳ型胶原免疫组化染色对２４例肺鳞癌间质毛细血管基底膜进行研究。结果在明：肺鳞癌间质毛细血管基底膜依据染色结果可分为３种类型：Ⅰ型（基底膜呈连续线状），Ⅱ型（有缺损），Ⅲ型（缺如）。高分化鳞癌间质毛血管基底膜以Ⅰ型为主（９／１３）、低分化者５例均为Ⅲ型。结果初步证明：肺鳞癌间质毛细血管基底膜存在不同程度缺损，其损伤程度与组织分化程度相关。并认为肺鳞癌间质毛细血管基底膜缺损与肿瘤转移有密切关系。     

经蝶垂体腺瘤手术后残留原因分析

目的：探讨经蝶切除垂体腺瘤手术后残留的原因，提高治疗效果；方法：回顾性分析自1992年10月至2003年1月，在我院及外院经蝶手术治疗后，MRI检查证实仍有残留的118例垂体腺瘤。结果：肿瘤主体残留在海绵窦占46．6％，鞍内37．3％，鞍上5．1％，混合9．3％，颅外1．7％；影响肿瘤根除的主要因素，肿瘤侵袭海绵窦46．6％，术者经验不足36．4％，肿瘤侵润生长9．3％，肿瘤体积巨大3．4％，出血多4．2％。针对残余瘤组织再手术者为10．1％，普通放射治疗39．0％，r刀治疗38．2％，药物治疗11．0％。结论：经蝶手术残瘤的主要原因是肿瘤侵袭海绵窦，这些病例不能或很难单纯手术根除；其次是术者经验不足和技术问题而造成。在有残瘤的病例中，有半数以上病例可以通过提高技术水平达到肿瘤的全切或次全切除。
