退变性腰椎侧凸的外科治疗

目的探讨退变性腰椎侧凸的特点、诊断与治疗。方法2001年7月至2004年1月手术治疗退变性脊柱侧凸患者15例,行后路彻底椎板减压、椎弓根钉棒矫形固定,椎间融合器融合12例,后外侧植骨融合3例,回顾性分析其临床特点、手术方法与效果。结果术后侧凸平均矫正率为42.8%,腰腿痛均消失,下肢麻木等症状减轻,随访6~36个月,植骨融合良好,无融合器移位,矫正度数与椎间隙高度无丢失。结论成人退变性腰椎侧凸发病年龄大,多合并腰椎管狭窄、失稳等,腰腿痛原因复杂,治疗的主要目的是彻底减压,通过矫形使脊柱重新获得稳定,椎弓根钉棒固定及椎间融合是有效的治疗方法。     

Anterior lumbar instrumentation improves correction of severe lumbar Lenke C curves in double major idiopathic scoliosis

Fifteen skeletally immature patients with double major adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with large lumbar curves and notable L4 and L5 coronal plane obliquity were retrospectively studied. Seven patients who underwent anterior release and fusion of the lumbar curve with segmental anterior instrumentation and subsequent posterior instrumentation ending at L3 were compared with eight patients treated with anterior release and fusion without anterior instrumentation followed by posterior instrumentation to L3 or L4. At 4.5 years follow-up (range 2.5-7 years), curve correction, coronal balance and fusion rate were not statistically different between the two groups; however, the group with anterior instrumentation had improved coronal plane, near normalangulation in the distal unfused segment compared with the group without anterior instrumentation. In cases involving severe lumbar curvatures in the context of double major scoliosis, when as a first stage anterior release is chosen, the addition of instrumentation appears to restore normal coronal alignment of the distal unfused lumbar segment, and may in certain cases save a level compared with traditional fusions to L4.     

Radiologic long-term results after cervical vertebral interbody fusion with Polymethyl Methacrylat (PMMA)

Long-term results of cervical interbody fusion with PMMA were evaluated in a retrospective study. X-ray films of 83 patients were obtainable. Post-operative follow-up in this series was between 15 and 20 years. The results show that PMMA is engrafted after about 2 years. Stable vertebral interbody fusion is obtained in about 90% of cases. Development of malignoma was not observed. Resorptive bone alterations, which can be seen in about 2% of cases one to two years after operation are shown not to be progressive. This process heals and stable fusion develops.     

神经根变异与特殊型椎间盘突出症

回顾5例由于神经根变异或特殊类型椎间盘突出引起的腰腿痛病人,对其病理及术中处理做了介绍,认为由于神经根的解剖变异,更容易受到椎间盘突出的卡压。手术中如临床症状符合椎间盘突出症,而预定探查间隙未发现突出物,或与临床症状不符者,应根据神经根激惹及松紧程度,扩大探查范围,查明造成疼痛的原因,避免二次手术。     

The forgotten lumbar puncture

Lumbar puncture is crucial in two distinct clinical situations in the diagnosis of the headache patient. The first is the patient who is suspected of having a symptomatic headache; the second is the patient with a chronic intractable or atypical headache disorder. This review discusses the usefulness of the lumbar puncture in the diagnosis of headache secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage, meningitis, and intracranial hypotension and hypertension. The value of lumbar puncture in the presence of a normal CT/MRI scan is discussed.     

人和大鼠腰椎关节突关节的SP能神经纤维的分布

目的：证实支配腰椎关节突关节的神经支配和化学性质，方法：用逆行荧光素标记结合免疫组化法，研究７只大鼠腰部脊神经节细胞的周围突分支投射到腰椎关节突关节及其递质性质以及３例人腰椎关节突关节囊上神经末梢的化学性质，结果：发现大鼠一侧Ｌ５和Ｌ６之间的关节突关节受同侧Ｌ２－５节段的脊神经节的部分细胞周围突分支支配，其中有３３．３９９％的中型和小型细胞为中ＳＰ能免疫反应阳性，人的关节突关节囊含有ＳＰ阳性的神经     

椎间盘部分切除对腰椎应力分布影响的有限元分析

腰椎间盘突出症是骨科常见病之一。椎间盘切除术被广泛应用于本症的治疗。本文采用有限元素分析法观察了椎间盘部分切除前后腰椎应力分布的改变。本研究观察到,在正常情况下,椎体上下缘的中央部位承受较大的应力;椎间盘部分切除术后,椎体上下缘的侧方承采应力大于中央部分。这些结果表明,椎间盘部分切除术后可引起腰椎应力分布紊乱,出现应力集中,引起骨质增生,从而影响手术的远期疗效。     

腰动脉的应用解剖

观察了20具(40例)成人尸体的腰动脉,阐明了腰动脉的数目、起源、走行、口径、长度、起始平面与腹主动脉的夹角及相邻两腰动脉间的距离。为临床上由腰动脉插管进行的选择性脊髓造影术提供了解剖学依据。     

New form of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD) in Jewish family of Iraqi Origin

We report a distinct type of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia seen in 2 sibs and their second cousin, characterized by early onset severe short stature, small chest, and distended abdomen. They had short neck, severe lumbar lordosis, and marked genu varum due to fibular overgrowth and joint laxity. Radiographically, the patients had platyspondyly, initially noted during the first years of life, with central hypoplasia of the vertebral bodies. At a later age, the vertebrae appear squared with mild interpedicular narrowing. The long bone changes, which at early age resemble those seen in achondroplasia, later include general metaphyseal irregularities and significant epiphyseal ossification delay. These patients present a previously undescribed form of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, most probably transmitted as an autosomal recessive tract. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
