微创穿刺术治疗基底节区脑出血临床随机对照研究

目的评价比较微创穿刺血肿粉碎清除术与内科保守治疗两种方法治疗基底节区脑出血(25～40m l)的疗效异同。方法采用多中心、随机对照试验的方法,42个参研医院共随机入选465例基底节区脑出血患者,根据纳入与排除标准共排除88例,其中资料不全者16例;不符合入选标准者72例,分别为Glasgow评分≤8分(64例)、术前出血量>40m l(7例)、从发病到达急诊室时间>72h(1例)。评价治疗14d时两组患者神经功能缺损程度和日常生活活动能力、治疗3个月时的日常生活活动能力以及3个月和住院期间病死率。结果最终符合入组标准的病例数为377例,其中微创治疗组195例,对照组182例。微创治疗组患者于治疗14d时,神经功能改善明显优于对照组(χ2=7.931,P=0.02);治疗3个月时达良好功能状态的患者比例明显多于对照组(35.91%vs21.82%;χ2=8.294P=0.004)。微创治疗组病,残率明显低于对照组(40.88%vs63.03%,χ2=16.948,P<0.01);两组病死率间差异无显著性意义(6.67%vs8.79%)。结论与单纯内科保守治疗相比,应用微创穿刺血肿粉碎清除术治疗基底节区小血肿不增加病死率,并可明显提高脑出血患者的日常生活活动能力,降低病残率。     

外生殖器部位非性传播性皮肤疾病的诊断

我国由于人口流动性高,加之无任何保护措施的性行为不断增加的趋势,性传播性疾患的发病快速增长。然而,同时也要认识到在外生殖器部位的非性传播性皮肤疾病,根据病因,分为23类,约200种皮肤病,为避免不必要的医疗纠纷,必须关注外生殖器部位非性传播性皮肤疾病的鉴别诊断。

Fiberglass or silica exposure and increased nephritis or ESRD (end-stage renal disease)

The U.S. multiplant cohort mortality study of workers producing manufactured mineral fibers is finding increasing mortality from nephritis and/or nephrosis. We examine other data sets to see if similar effects can be identified. In a case-referent study among Michigan patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), men with exposures to silica have elevated odds ratio for ESRD. In a California occupational mortality study based on 1979–81 data, a number of the construction trades, farmers, and farm laborers show excess mortality for renal disease. The highest mortality ratio is found in the category including insulation workers. This ratio remains significantly elevated when adjusted for estimated exposures to smoking, alcohol, and for socio-economic status. California mortality data from 20 years earlier (1959–61) fail to show much excess renal disease in construction workers, but do for farmers. In Singapore, granite workers with a long-term exposure to silica have excess excretion of albumin and similar compounds compared to less exposed controls, leading to the presumption that silica exposure can lead to silica nephrotoxicity. Balkan nephropathy has been associated with consumption of well water high in silica. In the Negev of Israel, dust storms are a vehicle for increasing respiratory uptake of silica. The Beduin, thought to be a population with maximal exposures, have higher rates of ESRD than do Jews in the age groups over 60 years. Although high blood concentrations of silica are found in persons with renal failure, the close association with elevated creatinine has been interpreted as evidence that the buildup of silica is due to renal failure, rather than vice-versa. The evidence is consistent with, but not yet compelling, that exposure to silica, which can be readily absorbed (or dissolved) from the lung, may increase the long-term risk of renal disease including renal failure. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

The validity of a simple clinical classification of acute ischaemic stroke

The aim of the study reported here was to test the validity of a simple clinical classification of acute ischaemic stroke (Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project, OCSP) in predicting the site and size of cerebral infarction on computed tomography (CT). Consecutive patients admitted to hospital with acute ischaemic stroke were prospectively identified and classified into one of four clinical syndromes according to the OCSP classification, blind to the result of CT. The CT brain scans were classified blind to the clinical features into those demonstrating: small, medium or large cortical infarcts; small or large subcortical infarcts in the anterior circulation territory; and posterior cerebral circulation territory infarcts. A total of 108 patients were included. A recent infarct was seen. on the CT scan in 91 patients (84%), and the clinical classification correctly predicted the site and size of the cerebral infarct in 80 of these (88%; 95% confidence interval 77–92%). The positive predictive value was best for large cortical infarcts (0.94) and worst for small subcortical infarcts (0.63). The OCSP clinical classification is a reasonably valid way of predicting the site and size of cerebral infarction on CT and can, therefore, be used very early after stroke onset before the infarct appears on the scan.     

P-31 MR spectroscopy of skeletal and cardiac muscle metabolism in patients with systemic sclerosis: A multiple case study

Three-dimensionally localized proton-decoupled phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy of skeletal and cardiac muscle was performed in six patients with systemic sclerosis. Cardiac (n = 9) and skeletal (n = 6) spectra were also obtained in healthy volunteers. Metabolite ratios and intracellular pH were determined from the spectra of skeletal and cardiac muscle. The phosphocreatine-to-adenosine triphosphate ratio was normal for both skeletal and cardiac muscle in patients with systemic sclerosis. The pH values of skeletal muscle were similar in patients and control subjects (7.13 ± 0.02 vs 7.12 ± 0.01, respectively). In skeletal muscle, the inorganic phosphate-to-phosphocreatine ratio in patients was increased relative to that of control subjects (0.106 ± 0.014 vs 0.086 ± 0.006, respectively; P =.02). P-31 MR spectroscopy showed no abnormalities in the myocardium of patients with systemic sclerosis. Assessment of the inorganic phosphate-to-phosphocreatine ratio in peripheral skeletal muscle may be helpful for assessing disease activity.

Nodular sarcoidosis of the liver and spleen: Appearance on MR images

Small nodular lesions in the liver and spleen have been reported as an infrequent manifestation of sarcoidosis. Five patients with this appearance on either dynamic contrast material—enhanced computed tomographic (CT) or ultrasound scans underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with and without dynamic gadolinium enhancement. The lesions were relatively uniform in size, ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 cm. On CT scans, they were hypoattenuating relative to surrounding parenchyma. On MR images, the lesions were hypointense relative to background parenchyma with all sequences. No substantial enhancement was observed in the lesions, although lesion conspicuity decreased over time on serial postcontrast images. Lesion conspicuity was greatest on either T2-weighted fat-suppressed (T2FS) images or early-phase dynamic contrast-enhanced images. Abdominal adenopathy was seen in three of the five patients and was hyperintense relative to liver on T2FS images in two and intermediate in intensity in one patient.
