Improved intracranial lesion characterization by tissue segmentation based on a 3D feature map

Our aim was to develop an accurate multispectral tissue segmentation method based on 3D feature maps. We utilized proton density (PD), T₂-weighted fast spin-echo (FSE), and T₁-weighted spin-echo images as inputs for segmentation. Phantom constructs, cadaver brains, an animal brain tumor model and both normal human brains and those from patients with either multiple sclerosis (MS) or primary brain tumors were analyzed with this technique. Initially, misregistration, RF inhomogeneity and image noise problems were addressed. Next, a qualified observer identified samples representing the tissues of interest. Finally, k-nearest neighbor algorithm (k-NN) was utilized to create a stack of color-coded segmented images. The inclusion of T₁ based images, as a third input, produced significant improvement in the delineation of tissues. In MS, our 3D technique was found to be far superior to that based on any combination of 2D feature maps (P < 0.001). We identified at least two distinctly different classes of lesions within the same MS plaque, representing different stages of the disease process. Further, we obtained the regional distribution of MS lesion burden and followed its changes over time. Neuropsychological aberrations were the clinical counterpart of the structural changes detected in segmentation. We could also delineate the margins of benign brain tumors. In malignant tumors, up to four abnormal tissues were identified: 1) a solid tumor core, 2) a cystic component, 3) edema in the white matter, and 4) areas of necrosis and hemorrhage. Subsequent neurosurgical exploration confirmed the distribution of tissues as predicted by this analysis.     

Single-stage repair of severe hypospadias using bladder mucosa graft

Our experience of single-stage repair of severe hypospadias (penoscrotal, scrotal, and perineal) in 30 children using urinary bladder mucosa for urethroplasty is reported. These children had severe chordee, small prepuce, and often ventral transposition of the penis with bifid scrotum where Devine and Horton, Asopa, or Duckett techniques are not so suitable. The graft uptake was uniformly satisfactory. Ten patients had complications; most of the fistulae healed spontaneously. Surgical intervention was required in 2 cases only: 1 for a fistula and another for a stricture with fistula. Meatal stenosis, seen in 4 cases, led to delayed distal fistulae in 2, which healed spontaneously with meatal dilatation. Regular dilatation of the external meatus is recommended to prevent this problem.     

Arthroscopic capsulorrhaphy formultidirectional instability

Multidirectional shoulder instability is a common affliction and is increasingly recognized as a debilitating condition in young, athletic patients. Most patients with this condition are in their third decade and have a history of macrotrauma or repetitive microtrauma. Complaints range from frank instability to instability with pain, or to pain alone. These patients may display clinical signs of instability, impingement, or both on physical examination. Generalized ligamentous laxity or shoulder laxity alone are usually present. A positive sulcus sign remains the most sensitive clinical test in distinguishing these patients, even though no data is available on the sensitivity or specificity of this examination. The greater majority of patients are successfully treated with an exercise program stressing rotator cuff and scapular stabilizer strengthening. When patients do not respond to conservative treatment, open capsular shift has been recommended to restore joint stability. Early successes with the arthroscopic treatment of anterior shoulder instability have led to the development of similar procedures for the treatment of multidirectional instability. This paper describes an arthroscopic, multiple suture capsulorrhaphy for the treatment of multidirectional shoulder instability, which is a modification of the procedure advocated by Caspari and reviews the 2-year results of the first 19 patients treated.     

广东省SARS家庭聚集性病例流行病学分析

目的　了解广东省传染性非典型肺炎 (SARS)家庭聚集性病例的流行病学特征 ,探讨家庭因素在本病传播方面的作用。方法　采用统一个案调查表 ,用描述性流行病学方法对广东省SARS家庭聚集性病例进行分析。结果　截至 5月 1 5日止 ,在广东省 1 5 1 2例SARS病例中 ,6 0户家庭出现聚集性病例 ,共 1 91例 ,占全省病例总数的1 2 6 %。家庭聚集性病例的病死率为 9 9% ,高于全省平均病死率 (3 7% ) (P <0 0 1 )。家庭聚集性病例主要发生在2 0 0 3年 1月至 3月 ,占家庭聚集性病例总数的 90 6 % (1 73/ 1 91 )。病例以 30～ 4 9岁青壮年为主 ,占 5 2 9% (1 0 1 / 1 91 ) ;职业以干部职员为主 ,占 1 3 6 % (2 6 / 1 91 ) ,其次为饮食、服务人员 ,占 1 2 6 % (2 4 / 1 91 )。 4 1 7%家庭的首发病例在发病前两周有明确或可疑接触史。在 1 2 9例家庭聚集二代感染病例中可能因陪护或探病感染发病的有 4 2户 ,共 92例 ,占71 3%。首发病例与二代病例发病时间间隔中位数为 7d。结论　家庭聚集性病例的病死率较高 ,家庭聚集性病例有较大比例可能在医院内感染 ,但家庭密切接触也是造成疫情传播的原因之一 ,控制医院内感染和及早对病例进行家庭隔离可以减少聚集性病例的出现

慢性肺心病并发多器官衰竭（附70例报告）

１９８６～１９９２年我院共收治急性发作期慢性肺心病１９６例，其中因严重肺部感染发生多器官衰竭（ＭＯＦ）者７０例（３５．７％），平均受损脏器２．５个，死亡２６例，总病死率为３７．１％。其中２和３个脏器受损者的病死率分别为２０．１％和４４．４％，而４和５个脏器受损者则均死亡。血气分析显示ｐＨ和ＰａＯ２值与受损脏器数目呈负相关，而ＰａＣＯ２值与受损脏器数目呈正相关。本文讨论了肺心病因肺部感染并发ＭＯＦ的发病机理，并提出防治的措施。     

Life-threatening respiratory failure due to cranial dystonia after dental procedure in a patient with multiple system atrophy.

We report on a woman with a an 8-year history of multiple system atrophy with predominance of parkinsonism who developed jaw-locking oromandibular dystonia within hours after insertion of ill-fitting dentures. Dystonia spread rapidly to involve other facial muscles and the larynx causing stridor with respiratory failure necessitating crush intubation.     

急性重症胰腺炎中转手术时机探讨

目的 探讨非手术治疗急性重症胰腺炎中转手术的时机及指征。方法 回顾分析1991年5月～2003年12月我科收治的308例急性重症胰腺炎患者的并发症发生率、死亡率及中转手术情况。结果 治愈284例(92．2％)，死亡24例(7．8％)。治疗过程中109例出现并发症，其中胰腺坏死组织继发感染12例，胰腺假性囊肿52例，多器官功能损害或衰竭24例，单个器官功能损害27例。中转手术23例(7．5％)，其中行胰腺坏死组织清除12例，胰腺假性囊肿感染引流2例，腹腔引流5例，胰腺脓肿引流1例，因急性坏死性胆囊炎和急性化脓性胆囊炎行胆道手术各1例，穿孔修补 胰包膜减压术1例。结论 急性重症胰腺炎早期采取积极的非手术治疗可获得满意的效果；对在非手术治疗过程中出现胰腺感染、不能控制的胆道感染、病情无好转且进行性恶化者或有其他外科并发症者及时中转手术，可望提高急性重症胰腺炎的治愈率。
