An analysis of fluid loss during transcervical resection of submucous myomas

Objective: To determine the contribution of several variables to fluid loss during transcervical resection of submucous myomas.Design: An observational study using multiple linear regression analyses.Setting: A university-affiliated training hospital and a university department of clinical epidemiology and biostatistics.Patient(s): Patients with submucous myomas.Intervention(s): Transcervical resection of submucous myomas and monitoring of fluid loss.Main Outcome Measure(s): Patient age, uterine enlargement, treatment with GnRH analogues or 8-ornithine-vasopressin, type of anesthesia, number of myomas, intramural extension of the myoma (type of myoma), and operating time were tested as variables.Result(s): Only intramural extension of the myoma and operating time were obviously related to fluid loss. For the other variables, such a relation was weak at best. The relation between fluid loss and operating time was not modified by any of the other variables.Conclusion(s): Because fluid loss is an important limiting factor in the transcervical resection of submucous myomas, special attention should be paid to reduction of the operating time and preoperative assessment of the intramural extension of the myoma to guide appropriate patient selection.

Low levels of essential fatty acids are related to impaired delayed skin hypersensitivity in malnourished chronically ill elderly people

Abstract Essential fatty acid (FA) deficiency, which may accompany protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), has been associated with impaired inflammatory reactions. We evaluated this relationship by analysing FA profiles and delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity in 20 malnourished elderly non-cancer patients and in 20 age-matched control patients. As indicated by serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides, the lipid levels were decreased by about one-third in the subjects with PEM. In comparison with the controls, there was a reduction in the ω 3 FA (e.g. eicosapentanoate) in total serum lipids (mgl^-1) and serum phospholipids (%) of 40% and 47%, respectively. Reductions in serum ω 6 FA (e.g. linoleate and arachidonate) levels corresponded to the drop in total FA concentrations (30%). The cutaneous hypersensitivity was impaired in 14 of the malnourished patients. The magnitude of the skin reaction was positively correlated ( P < 0·05) to the concentrations of eicosapentanoate in serum lipids and serum phospholipids, as well as to the linoleate concentration in total serum lipids. Six of the malnourished patients took part in a nutritional intervention programme for 3 months. In parallel with an improvement in the nutritional status there was a 35% increase ( P < 0·05) in the total ω 3 FA serum concentration. Negative skin tests became positive and the median skin induration enlarged threefold ( P < 0·05). Thus, deficiency of ω 3 FA might be one factor contributing to cutaneous anergy in elderly malnourished patients.     

Delayed pain response after lumbar discography

Summary The delayed onset of symptomatic pain following lumbar discography (with no immediate pain response) is described in six patients, five with a minimum 2-year follow-up. It is usually seen in patients with nearly normal disc morphology who have incomplete or discrete annular tears that are not filled at the time of injection. Later (2–12 h in this study), dye leakage occurs through these lesions, thereby precipitating the discogenic pain This phenomenon may be missed and is probably more common than previously believed due to early discharge from the hospital, the patient expecting discomfort after the invasive study (hence no complaint is made), and the clinician being unaware of this delayed symptom, thereby not asking about it in follow-up. Close patient questioning regarding a delayed onset of symptomatic pain after discography is, therefore, an essential element in diagnostic information following this study.     

早期鼻饲生大黄粉防治重型颅脑损伤后上消化道出血的临床研究

目的研究重型颅脑损伤后早期鼻饲生大黄粉对防治上消化道出血的作用.方法选择GCS3～8分重型颅脑损伤患者90例,随机选45例(实验组)伤后早期(24～48h)鼻饲生大黄粉,另45例(对照组)未予生大黄粉治疗.所有患者其他治疗措施均基本相同.结果39例患者出现上消化道出血.其中实验组14例,有13例上消化道出血治愈,治愈时间(7.6±2.5)d;对照组25例,有16例上消化道出血治愈,治愈时间(13.4±3.3)d.实验组上消化道出血率和上消化道出血治愈平均时间均显著低于对照组(P＜0.05),而上消化道出血治愈率显著高于对照组(P＜0.05).结论早期鼻饲生大黄粉能有效防治重型颅脑损伤后并发上消化道出血,值得临床推广应用.     

γ射线诱发人正常肝细胞基因组不稳定性研究

目的探讨电离辐射诱发的基因组不稳定性效应。方法采用^60Co γ射线照射人正常肝细胞，检测克隆形成率和微核发生率，利用单细胞凝胶电泳（SCGE）技术检测DNA损伤情况。照射2、4、6、8和10Gy后传代培养，在40代后各剂量组再次统一照射2Gy，进行辐射损伤的检测。结果首次照射后，克隆形成率随受照剂量的增大而降低。存活细胞经二次照射后，SCGE结果和微核发生率结果表明，首次照射剂量与子代二次照射后的损伤程度存在剂量效应关系。结论γ射线不仅在肝细胞中产生直接的生物效应，而且还可以诱发产生可遗传的基因组不稳定性，使子代细胞中的突变频率增加，表现出滞后的遗传改变。二次事件的放大作用是研究基因组不稳定性的一种较好方法。

目的探讨非脱垂子宫经阴道改良切除的可行性及方法。方法将103例子宫肌瘤、子宫腺肌瘤、功能性子宫出血等需行全子宫切除术的患者随机分为两组，常规经腹式全子宫切除术(腹式组)58例，经阴道全子宫切除术(阴式组)45例，比较两种手术方法的优劣。结果阴式组较腹式组手术时间短，术中出血少，术后痛苦少；48h内肛门排气阴式组40例(88．9％)，腹式组31例(53．4％)；平均住院天数阴式组5．1d，腹式组7．1d。结论新式非脱垂子宫的阴式全子宫切除术相对于经腹式全子宫切除术有一定的优势，但要严格选择其手术适应证。     

An immunohistochemical study of MAP2 and clathrin in gerbil hippocampus after cerebral ischemia

Changes in MAP2 and clathrin immunoreactivity were studied in gerbil hippocampus after transient cerebral ischemia. MAP2 immuno-reactivity decreased significantly by 1 h in the subiculum-CA1 and CA2 areas which correspond to reactive change, while no decrease was observed in CA1 until day 4. Before the initiation of delayed neuronal death, MAP2 immunoreactivity was not changed in CA1. On the other hand clathrin immunoreactivity increased in the pyramidal cell layer of CA1 by 3 h after ischemia and remained high for 2 days. Clathrin immunoreactivity in the pyramidal cell layer of CA1 diminished after delayed neuronal death. The transient change of clathrin was noted especially in CA1 in the period prior to delayed neuronal death. These results imply an abnormal change in clathrin turnover after ischemia, which may participate in the pathogenesis of delayed neuronal death.
