垂体脓肿的诊断和治疗(14例报告和文献复习)

目的:探讨垂体脓肿的临床特征和治疗。方法:回顾性分析14例垂体脓肿患者的临床表现、影像学特征、诊断和治疗,并结合文献进行分析。结果:14例患者中头痛13例,垂体功能低下6例,视力视野影响6例,多饮多尿3例,发热3例。MRI增强病灶均呈环状强化。11例经蝶手术治疗,3例经开颅手术。术后随访头痛缓解者10例,视力、视野改善者4例,尿崩者2例恢复正常,垂体功能低下者中4例恢复正常,3例开颅手术者中2例复发,再经蝶手术治愈。结论:应用常规CT和MR术前诊断垂体脓肿困难,对鞍区囊性病变应考虑到垂体脓肿的可能。及早手术、正确选择手术入路、围手术期合理应用抗生素和适当的对症治疗是治疗垂体脓肿的关键。     

拇指掌指关节内侧籽骨的出现时间及其临床意义

本文对正常人和某些内分泌疾病患者的拇指掌指关节内侧籽骨的出现情况进行了X线观察和分析,证实该籽骨的出现遵循一定时序,正常在青春发动期出现。在性早熟时该籽骨出现时间显著提前;而在垂体性侏儒症时则出现延迟,对某些内分泌疾病具有诊断价值。     

Prolactin responses to haloperidol in drug-free and treated schizophrenic patients

Summary The prolactin response to 5 mg haloperidol i.m. was studied in 12 schizophrenic patients in a drug-free state and after a month treatment with haloperidol, as a possible index of dopamine receptor sensitivity and occupancy. Blood samples were taken at times 0, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. The increase in PRL observed in the drug-free state disappeared after drug treatment. The PRL plasma levels after treatment with 60 mg haloperidol per os were higher than the maximal PRL responses after 5 mg i.m. The increases in baseline PRL caused by the treatment correlated positively to the reduction in the BPRS score. The test was also performed in a group of 11 patients chronically treated with haloperidol during a daily dose of 60 mg, and 15 days after reduction of the dose to 30 mg. PRL increases after 5 mg haloperidol i.m. were observed only after reduction of the dose. It is suggested that the prolactin response to haloperidol is an index of the occupancy of receptors that are involved in the PRL releasing mechanisms, and could be used to verify their blockade by the neuroleptics, especially in patients that do not respond positively to drug treatment.     

Inhibition by indomethacin of spontaneous mammary tumorigenesis in SHN mice

This experiment was designed to examine the effects of indomethacin, a potent prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, on spontaneous mammary tumors in mice. The growth of established mammary tumors and the appearance of new tumors in multiparous SHN mice were significantly suppressed by the subcutaneous implantation of pellets of indomethacin diluted to 1/12 with cholesterol. Furthermore, the same treatment inhibited normal and preneoplastic mammary gland growth in virgin SHN mice. The pattern of estrous cycles, ovarian structure, and plasma prolactin levels were not affected significantly by the treatment. All results have demonstrated that indomethacin inhibits mammary tumorigenesis of mice primarily by route(s) other than the endocrine system under the present experimental conditions. Indomethacin would be the first agent that appears to inhibit the growth of spontaneous mammary tumors of palpable size in mice.     

NIFEDIPINE BLOCKS ACTH AND CORTISOL RELEASE IN MAN

1. The present study investigated the effect of prior administration of nifedipine on AVP-induced ACTH release in seven normal volunteers. Three protocols were used: 20 mg oral nifedipine; 0.14 pressor units intramuscular (i.m.) per kg bodyweight aqueous AVP; oral nifedipine plus i.m. AVP 90 min later. Plasma ACTH and cortisol were measured at intervals for 2.5 h during each test. 2. The mean peak plasma ACTH and cortisol levels and the mean peak changes from basal in these levels were significantly lower in the nifedipine/AVP test than in the AVP alone test. The integrated area under the cortisol time curve was significantly lower for the nifedipine/AVP test than that for the AVP test alone. Nifedipine alone caused no changes in ACTH or cortisol. 3. Acute administration of oral nifedipine caused an inhibition of AVP-stimulated ACTH and cortisol release in normal humans. This effect may be due to blockade of plasma membrane calcium channels normally activated during AVP stimulation of pituitary corticotrophs.     

伽玛刀治疗功能性垂体瘤初步报告

目的 对伽玛刀治疗分泌型垂体瘤的疗效和并发症发生的相关因素进行探讨。方法 1997年9月至2001年11月，248例垂体瘤经伽玛刀治疗。其中．73例年龄在16至61岁的分泌型垂体瘤获得详细随访，53例为PRL型，11例GH型，2例为ACTH型，6例为PRL合并GH型，1例为PRL合并ACTH型。7例为术后复发和残留。23例曾接受过嗅隐亭治疗。平均肿瘤容积为5．83cm^3(0．14～25．20cm^3)。边缘剂量为8～35Gy。结果 平均随访时间21个月。36例(49.3％)内分泌恢复正常。内分泌恢复正常的比率3个月后1．4％，6个月后16．4％．1年后45．2％，2年后49．3％。3例(4、1％)发生垂体瘤功能低下。1例复发二次治疗。无病例发生视路受损。结论 伽玛刀治疗分泌型垂体瘤是安全有效的治疗方法。其长期疗效和并发症的发生仍需进一步的随访观察。
