Adductor Canal Block or Local Infiltrate Analgesia for Pain Control After Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background

Total knee arthroplasty is a treatment option for debilitating arthritis. In the postoperative period, patients experience moderate to severe pain affecting the rehabilitation, hospital stay, and patient satisfaction. This study aims at utilizing current best evidence to determine whether adductor canal block (ACB) or periarticular injection (PAI) is a better modality for managing short-term postoperative pain and opioid consumption.

Nd∶YAG激光防治根管治疗期间急症发生的效果分析

目的分析激光消毒根管,防治根管治疗期间急症(endodonticinterappointmentemergencies,EIAE)发生的效果。方法慢性根尖周炎、慢性牙髓炎、牙髓坏死患者189例,随机分为激光组94例和对照组95例。激光组用激光消毒根管后一次性完成根管治疗;对照组直接行一次性完成根管治疗。对激光防治EIAE的效果进行临床评估。结果EIAE的发生率激光组为9.6%,对照组为35.8%,两组比较差异有显著意义(P<0.01)。结论运用激光消毒根管能有效地预防和降低根管治疗期间急症的发生。     

Primary spinal paragangliomas: a clinicopathological and immunohistochemical study of 30 cases

Aims: Extra-adrenal paragliomas are neoplasms which have been the subject of much debate regarding parameters to establish their biological behaviour. This study describes the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of 30 cases of spinal paragliomas. Methods and results: There were 15 male and 15 female patients. The median age at diagnosis was 46 years (range 20–74 years). Fourteen patients presented with back pain, two with numbness of the lower extremities, one with difficulty in walking and one with spinal cord compression. Nineteen tumours were located in the lumbar region, six in the cauda equina, two in the filum terminale, two in the thoracic region and one in the cervical region. All patients underwent gross total excision. The size of the tumours ranged from 10 to 50 mm. Histologically, 18 neoplasms showed alveolar (Zellballen) pattern, seven a spindle component, two eosinophilic granular cells suggestive of oncocytic metaplasia, two melanin pigment and one ganglion cells. Positive immunohistochemical results include: neuron-specific enolase 23/23 (100%), synaptophysin 21/23 (91%), S100 protein 22/23 (95%, sustentacular cells), leu-enkephalin 11/23 (47%), somatostatin 8/23 (34%), focal glial fibrillary acidic protein 7/23 (30%), focal keratin 5/23 (21%), neurofilament proteins 3/23 (13%) and adrenocorticotrophic hormine (ACTH) 1/23 (4%). Follow-up information obtained in 20 patients show 17 patients alive over a period of 6–216 months. One patient had bone metastases. Two patients died of unrelated causes, including one of congestive heart failure and one of myocardial infarction. Conclusions: In our experience, spinal paragangliomas behave as slow-growing tumours susceptible to potential cure by total excision. We agree with the current World Health Organization (WHO) classification as grade I tumours. Less than 1% may be locally aggressive. Spinal paragangliomas immunoreact not only for conventional neuroendocrine markers but also for peptides including somatostatin and ACTH and focally for the epithelial marker keratin.     

后天性外耳道狭窄的手术治疗

目的探讨后天性外耳道狭窄的手术治疗方法及效果。方法对26例（27耳）外耳道狭窄行外耳道成形术或厢乳突根治鼓室成型术，取大腿内侧自体游离中厚皮片植皮，碘仿纱条压迫并扩张耳道。结果26例病人27耳随访6个月至8年，24耳外耳道宽敞，无再狭窄；3耳出现轻度狭窄，发生率11．1％（3／27），效果满意。结论对后天性外耳道狭窄的治疗可根据狭窄的原因、部位及程度等不同情况采用外耳道成形、游离中厚皮片移植或同时进行乳突根治鼓室成型术等手术治疗，术后局部换药，即能取得较好效果。     

显微内窥镜下治疗腰椎间盘突出症和腰椎管狭窄症

目的探讨显微内窥镜(MED)治疗腰椎间盘突出症和腰椎管狭窄症的临床效果。方法MED下切除增生内聚的关节突、肥厚的黄韧带及突出的椎间盘，彻底解除对硬膜、神经根的压迫。结果随访324例，按中华骨科学脊柱学组腰背痛手术评定标准，优297例，良14例，差13例，疗效优良率达96．0％，结论MED损伤小、恢复快、疗效好。     

经皮弧式椎间盘切除器械治疗腰5骶1椎间盘突出症初步报告

采用经皮弧式椎间盘切除器械治疗Ｌ_５～Ｓ_１椎间盘突出症２２例，２１例成功。术后优良率为８６．４％。该器械能够避开髂嵴阻挡进入Ｌ_５～Ｓ_１椎间隙，并增加椎间盘切除量，提高经皮Ｌ_５～Ｓ_１椎间盘切除成功率。定位正确是成功的关键。

开放手术观察腰椎间盘突出症溶核失败45例分析

目的 通过开放手术观察分析椎间盘髓核化学溶解术治疗腰椎间盘突出症失败原因。方法 收集溶核失败的腰椎间盘突出症45例行开放手术治疗。结果 术中见45例硬膜外脂肪完全消失，43例髓核未见溶解，2例髓核溶解呈糊状但未被吸收，21例伴有侧隐窝狭窄，15例突出物与神经根粘连，20例黄韧带增厚，2例椎管骨性狭窄，14例突出物钙化。结论 腰椎间盘突出症病变间隙合并有侧隐窝狭窄、神经根粘连、椎管狭窄、突出物钙化等，不是溶核治疗的适应证。
