Changes in the basal ganglia and thalamus following reperfusion after complete cerebral ischaemia

We report specific changes bilaterally in the basal ganglia and thalamus following reperfusion after complete cerebral ischaemia. A 69-year-old man, resuscitated after cardiac arrest, showed symmetrical lowdensity lesions in the head of the caudate nucleus and lentiform nucleus on CT. MRI revealed methaemoglobin derived from minor haemorrhage in the basal ganglia and thalamus, not evident on CT. We suggest that this haemorrhage results from diapedesis of red blood cells through the damaged capillary endothelium following reperfusion.     

软衬基托全口义齿的固位与力研究

目的 研究比较软衬基托全口义齿与传统全口义齿的固位力和（牙合）力,以评价弹性软托全口义齿的治疗效果,以期为临床的软衬治疗提供理论依据。方法 选择10名牙槽嵴欠丰满的全口义齿患者为受试对象,以SoftReverse软衬材制作软衬义齿基托,分别测试他们戴软衬基托和传统基托义齿时的固位力及（牙合）力,进行自身对照分析。结果 所有患者戴弹性软基托义齿时的固位力和（牙合）力均明显高于戴传统基托时的相对应测试值。结论 从咀嚼功能和戴牙舒适的角度上说,弹性软衬基托全口义齿明显地优于传统基托全口义齿。

目的 探讨原发性腹膜后肿瘤（PRT）的外科治疗经验。方法 分析1970-2000年经手术治疗的99例PRT,观察其手术切除及复发等特点。结果 良性46例,恶性53例。均经组织病理学证实,良性腹膜后肿瘤;完整切除率高（89.13%),很少合并脏器切除（19.56%),术中失血少（术中平均输血1030mL）;而恶性肿瘤的完整切除率低（56.60%),合并脏器切除率高（32.07%),术中失血多（术中平衡输血1520mL）。腹膜后肿瘤复发率14.04,复发完整切除率达64.28%。结论 手术完整切除肿瘤是治疗的主要手段。对复发肿瘤迹应争取再次手术。     

改进的大鼠单发佐剂性关节炎模型的建立和实验观察

本实验用油包水型完全弗氏佐剂（ＣＦＡ）进行大鼠单侧踝关节腔内注射，制备出一种音发性关节炎模型，对此模型动物进行的实验观察表明：注药侧踝关节在注药后几小时即开始出现急性红肿，３周后肿胀稳定于一定水平，保持６周以上；注药侧踝关节的屈、伸关节疼痛试验评分明显升高，踝关节坟痛阈值显著降低，即出现了明显的患侧痛敏，并可稳定持续几周。注射佐剂后第４周和第６周进行Ｘ线检测显示：注射ＣＦＡ的踝关节关节囊肿胀，关节     

Replacement of a mandibular implant-fixed prosthesis with an implant-supported overdenture to improve maintenance and care

PatientsA 69-year-old woman presented to the Osaka University Dental Hospital. She had two chief complaints, (a) food accumulation under the lower teeth and (b) poor maxillary denture retention while eating. On clinical examination the patient presented with a maxillary complete denture and fixed mandibular implant prosthesis. For preventing food accumulation under the fixed implant prosthesis and to keep the maxillary denture stable by providing posterior occlusal contact for bilaterally balanced occlusion, the use of a mandibular implant-supported overdenture with self-adjusting magnetic attachments provided a prosthetic solution for this patient. After provided the new dentures, the patient was pleased and was comfortable with the aesthetic, stability and retention of the dentures. There were no discernable clinical or radiographic changes after 1 year of use.DiscussionTo prevent food accumulation beneath the fixed implant prosthesis and maintain the stability of the maxillary denture by providing posterior occlusal contact for bilaterally balanced occlusion, a mandibular implant-retained overdenture with magnetic attachments was used to provide a prosthetic solution for this patient.ConclusionIn this clinical case, an implant-fixed prosthesis in the edentulous mandibular region was replaced into an implant-supported overdenture with considerations for (a) preventing the food accumulation beneath the lower prosthesis, (b) achieving the proper occlusion in the posterior part for maxillary denture stability and (c) ease of maintenance and care for the prostheses.     

Immune tolerance induction using a factor VIII/von Willebrand factor concentrate (BIOSTATE®), with or without immunosuppression,in Australian paediatric severe haemophilia A patients with high titre inhibitors: A multicentre,retrospective study

Introduction

It has been postulated that factor VIII (FVIII) products containing von Willebrand factor (VWF) may improve immune tolerance induction (ITI) success rate in patients with haemophilia A and poor prognostic factors.

Materials and methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of a FVIII/VWF concentrate (BIOSTATE®) for ITI in paediatric patients with severe haemophilia A (SHA) and inhibitors, from January 2003 to December 2011 at 3 paediatric-only Haemophilia Treatment Centres in Australia. Response to ITI was assessed at or before 33 months and at completion of ITI. Fifteen male patients with SHA were included in the analysis.

Results

BIOSTATE was used for primary ITI in 8 patients (2 years, range 1.1–11.5 years) and for salvage ITI in 7 patients (9.9 years, range 1.1–15.4). At the end of the observation period there were 11 patients who achieved a complete response with BIOSTATE after a median duration of 21 months (range 5–85 months); a partial response was achieved in 2 patients in whom ITI is ongoing. Therefore, the overall response rate was 86.6%. Two patients were deemed treatment failures: one due to non-compliance after 18 months of ITI and another in whom a partial response had not been achieved after 22 months of ITI.

Conclusion

BIOSTATE was well-tolerated and effective when used for primary or salvage ITI in this cohort of paediatric patients with SHA and a high-level inhibitor.     

综合护理干预对无创呼吸机治疗COPD合并呼吸衰竭患者的影响

目的探讨综合护理干预对无创呼吸机治疗COPD合并呼吸衰竭患者的影响。方法将76例COPD合并呼吸衰竭患者随机分为干预组与对照组,每组各38例,两组均采用COPD合并呼吸衰竭常规内科治疗及无创呼吸机治疗,并采用常规护理,干预组在常规护理的基础上实施综合护理干预,比较两组的护理效果。结果干预组干预后的临床各项指标均明显优于对照组,差异有统计学意义（P〈0.05）;干预组的并发症发生率较对照组低（P〈0.05）。干预组均顺利完成治疗,对照组有2例因不耐受而放弃治疗。结论对无创呼吸机治疗的COPD合并呼吸衰竭患者实施综合护理干预,能有效地提高患者的治疗依从性和临床效果,并减少并发症的发生和气管插管次数。     

Reproductive outcome following resectoscope metroplasty in women having a complete uterine septum with double cervix and vagina

Objective

To evaluate reproductive outcomes in women with complete uterine septum with double cervix and vagina following resectoscope metroplasty.

Methods

The pregnancy outcomes of 21 women who underwent vaginal and uterine septum resection were compared with those of 15 untreated women with similar clinical characteristics. The Fisher exact test and the Mann-Whitney test were used for statistical analysis.

Results

Cycle fecundity was better (33.4% ± 28.5% vs 12.2% ± 4.7%; P = 0.046), the rate of term delivery significantly increased (P < 0.05), and the rate of spontaneous abortion decreased (P < 0.05) in the treatment group.

Conclusion

Resectoscope metroplasty was found to improve the pregnancy outcomes of women having primary infertility or a history of pregnancy loss associated with a complete uterine septum with double cervix and vagina.
