Epidemiological study of myasthenia gravis in Sardinia, Italy (1958–1986)

From 1.1.1958 to 31.12.1986, 110 cases of MG were observed in Sardinia, with a mean annual incidence of 2.5 x 1,000,000 inhabitants and prevalence rates of 7.5, 17.6, 31.4 and 45.0 x 1,000,000 inhabitants respectively (prevalence days: 15.10.1961, 24.10.1971, 25.10.1981 and 31.12.1986). The disease was found to be more frequent in women. There were no differences in the distribution of MG in various areas of the island. The muscle group more frequently involved at onset was the ocular. In 6.4% of patients an association with thyroid disorders was observed. The mortality of MG patients was significantly higher than expected. Removal of the thymus, carried out in 58 patients, was shown to be useful in the treatment of the disease, particularly in patients without thymomas. No familial cases were observed.     

871例干部体检的X线胸片分析

871例干部体检的X线胸片分析结果表明:正常者254例,正常率仅29.2％,且随年龄的增长而降低。主要病变有慢性支气管炎、主动脉增宽与迂曲,而且还发现了3例肺癌,说明胸部平片检查在体检中仍具有重要的意义。     

慢性肝病和肝癌中HCV核心区三种寡肽抗原的抗体检测

检测１４８例慢性肝病和肝癌患者血清中丙型肝炎病毒核心区３种寡肽抗原的抗体，结果显示其阳性率在慢性迁延型肝炎、慢性活动型肝炎、肝炎肝硬化和原发性肝癌患者分别为７．７％，２３．１％，，２３．５％和１６．３％。在抗体阳性者中８０％以上有乙型肝炎病毒感染证据，提示我国ＨＢＶ和ＨＶＣ重叠感染较为常见。     

被动吸烟与婴幼儿呼吸系统疾病及生长发育关系的研究

目的 探讨被动吸烟对婴幼儿乎吸系统疾病发病及对生长发育的影响。方法 将我院保健科负责保健的0～3岁的婴幼儿400名，以家长是否吸烟分为被动吸烟组和对照组，每组200名，定期询问患病史，同时翻身高、体重对其进行评价，追踪观察，经统计学处理后进行分析。结果 婴幼儿乎吸系统疾病的发病与被动吸烟密切相关，被动吸烟影响婴幼儿的生长发育，与国内外的相关报道基本一致。结论 被动吸烟对婴幼儿健康速成严重损害，如不加以保护，有演变为严重社会问题的危险。     

Late onset unilateral asterixis secondary to posterior cerebral artery infarction

Unilateral asterixis developed in a 56 year old man, 5 months after an infarct in the posterior cerebral artery territory, involving the posterolateral nuclear complex of the thalamus, documented by CT-scan and MRI. Unilateral asterixis in rarely reported in association with thalamic lesions and usually develops as an immediate postictal phenomenon. We discuss possible physiopathological mechanisms explaining the occurrence and the delayed onset of these involuntary movements.

Sommario Un uomo di 56 anni ha sviluppato un'asterixis unilaterale, 5 mesi dopo aver presentato un infarto nel territorio dell'arteria cerebrale posteriore, che coinvolgeva i nuclei postero-laterali del talamo, come evidenziato dalla TC e dalla MRI. Asterixis unilaterali si sviluppano raramente in seguito a lesioni vascolari a livello del talamo e generalmente rappresentano un evento immediatamente successivo all'ictus. Nel caso descritto invece, i movimenti involontari si sono manifestati a notevole distanza di tempo. Gli autori discutono i possibili meccanismi fisiopatologici alla base di questi movimenti involontari e della loro insorgenza a distanza di tempo dall'ictus.

     

体感诱发电位在椎管内占位显微手术中的监测

目的　评价体感诱发电位 (SEP)在神经外科脊髓疾病显微手术中的监测作用 ,避免或减少医源性脊髓损伤。方法　 2 8例病人行术前、术中SEP全程监测 ,包括脊髓SEP(SSEP)及皮层SEP(CSEP) ,术中及时把监测信息反馈给术者。并将术中监测结果与术后疗效对照分析。结果　椎管内占位手术在行髓内肿瘤切除时最易引发SEP波幅降低及潜时延长。术中监测按Frankel分级D、E级患者波幅较基准电位下降不超过 50 % ,潜伏期延长不超过7% ;B、C级患者波幅较基准电位下降不超过 40 % ,潜伏期延长不超过 5 %。术后不会引起脊髓功能不可逆损害。结论　脊髓手术时行SSEP和CSEP联合监测可及时反映出脊髓功能的变化 ,提高术者术中操作的安全性 ,避免或减少术后并发症     

肢体不同延长速度对局部血流量的影响

本文报告20只兔胫骨以不同速度延长时用末梢微循环测定系统动态连续监测局部血流量变化的结果,发现一次延长>1 mm时,局部肌肉血流量开始急骤下降,恢复延长前血流量所需的时间>8 h。作者认为肢体的血管、肌肉等组织对1 mm/次/d延长速度有相当大的生物适应性。延长速度>1 mm/次/d易造成局部血流量大幅度减少。延长肢肌肉萎缩、肌力减弱可能与血流量减少有关。     

Granulomatous prostatitis: a pitfall in MR imaging of prostatic carcinoma

Granulomatous prostatitis is an uncommon disease that can prostatic carcinoma on both digital rectal examination and transrectal ultrasound. Four patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate had a histological diagnosis of graanulomatous prostatitis; three of them had recent urinary tract infections. The other patient had an associated midline prostatic cyst and a focus of malignancy. T1-and T2-weighted spin-echo images were obtained in all cases. Peripheral zone lesions of decreased signal intensity, suggestive of carcinoma,were found in all four patients on T2-weighted images. Granulomatous prostatitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of low signal intensity areas with prostatic magnetic resonance imaging. Correspondence to; P.A. Gevenois     

糖尿病酮症酸中毒诱因调查及防治对策

目的 :探讨糖尿病酮症酸中毒 (DKA)诱发因素的防治对策 ;方法 :采用计数方法间接确定住院的 57例DKA各种诱因的发生率 ,两组间进行对比分析 ,找寻诱因产生的根源 ;结果 :感染为诱因者 3 5例 ( 61 .4% ) ,用药不当 8例 ( 1 4 .0 % ) ,医源性因素 6例 ( 1 0 .5% ) ;感染诱因中呼吸道感染 2 3例 ( 65.7% ) ;病程一年以上者感染诱发率高于病程一年以下者 (P <0 .0 5) ,医源性诱因 1 0 0 %发生在病程一年以下且无糖尿病病史的 2型糖尿病 ;结论 :感染是DKA的首要诱发因素 ,严格控制血糖是减少感染发生率的必要手段 ,要避免用药不当这个主要诱因有赖于加强卫生宣教 ,取得患者在治疗上的配合 ;糖尿病的早期诊断可防止医源性诱因的发生     

嘉兴外来人员生活环境与肠道传染病相关知信行现况调查分析

目的了解城郊结合部外来人员聚集地生活环境现况和霍乱等肠道传染病健康知信行情况,进一步明确肠道传染病防治健康教育与健康促进工作的重点开展方向。方法采用随机抽样的方法,运用统一设计的调查问卷对嘉兴市5县2区城郊结合部等外来人员聚集地进行流行病学调查。结果93.06%的调查对象以租房为主,90.61%的生活用水来源于自来水,9.25%用井水;78.61%的人知道霍乱传播途径,21.53%的人知道霍乱主要临床症状,28.03%的人知道肠道传染病全部预防措施;77.31%的知识来源于电视,其他顺位依次为书刊、广播、家人或朋友处;希望获得宣传资料形式:传单占46.68%,墙报占31.21%。结论外来人员租房人数居多,有部分人使用井水;肠道传染病相关知识了解的较少。应采取多部门齐抓共管来改善外来人员聚集地的生活环境,因地制宜地对外来人员开展有针对性的预防肠道传染病健康教育。
