Excitability properties of medial forebrain bundle axons of A9 and A10 dopamine cells

A9 and A10 units identified as dopaminergic were recorded with extracellular micropipettes. The units were antidromically activated by electrical stimulation at the level of the preoptic area. The absolute refractory periods ranged from 1.2 to 2.5 ms. During the 2–8 ms of the relative refractory period, conduction was slower than normal by up to 1.5 ms. The time constant, C, of the strength-duration curve ranged from 0.4 to 0.6 ms. The current (I)-distance (D) relationship, tested by moving the stimulating electrode past the axon, was approximately parabolic (I = K D exp 2), with the constant of the equation, K, ranging from 900 to 2000 μA/mm exp 2, for 0.5 ms pulses. This relationship allows calculation of the radius of the field of dopamine axon excitation at any current. These high K values show that axons of dopamine cells cannot be activated unless high current densities are derivered, even when electrodes are placed near the axons. These data allow determination of the extent to which dopamine axons can be the directly activated substrates for behaviors, such as self-stimulation and circling, which are evoked by electrical stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle or internal capsule.

老年患者全喉切除术围手术期并发症的处理

目的 :探讨老年患者全喉切除术围手术期并发症的处理方法。方法 :将接受全喉切除术 93例分为≥ 6 0岁组 (A组 )和≤ 5 9岁组 (B组 )。分析比较术前所患慢性疾病及术后并发症等。结果 :A组 4 2例中与B组 5 1例患慢性疾病者A组为 2 8.5 7% (12 /42 ) ,B组为 5 .88% (3/42 ) ,2组差异有显著性 (P <0 .0 5 ) ;A组术后并发症发生率为 33.33% (14 /42 ) ,B组为 11.76 % (6 /5 1) ,2组差异有显著性 (P<0 .0 5 )。 结论 :老年人机体趋于衰老 ,各脏器、组织乃至细胞均在发生退行性变 ,功能减退 ,易患各种疾病 ,因而对手术的应激能力下降 ,术后易出现并发症。为减少并发症 ,术前应详细检查和准备 ;根据患者具体情况选择术式与麻醉 ;术后除严密观察生命体征外 ,还应密切观察切口情况、有无并发症及营养状况     

63例CT导引下经皮肺穿刺活检术的围手术期护理

目的：探讨CT导引下经皮肺穿刺活检术围手术期的护理程序及注意事项。方法：对我院2007年11月至2009年7月63例行CT导引下经皮肺穿刺活检术的患者实施术前、术中、术后护理及健康指导等围手术期护理程序。结果：实施围手术期护理程序后,患者焦虑程度明显减轻,并发症明显减少,术后恢复良好,患者均安全度过围手术期。结论：认真落实护理程序各阶段的护理措施,是减少CT导引下经皮肺穿刺活检术围手术期意外和各种护理并发症的关键。应用围手术期护理程序可提高手术的护理质量,减少术后并发症,为患者迅速康复奠定良好的基础。     

Perioperative Complications of the Agility Total Ankle Replacement in 50 Initial, Consecutive Cases

Although functional and clinical outcomes after total ankle arthroplasty have been promising, a steep learning curve has been recognized. In addition, the performance of concomitant hindfoot realignment procedures is controversial. The purpose of this study was to report on a single surgeon's experience with the first 50 total ankle arthroplasty procedures. We wanted to define the characteristics of the learning curve and whether the rate of complications was increased in patients who required complex reconstruction for preexistent foot and ankle deformities. This was a retrospective study of 50 cases with an average follow-up of 24.2 months. The patient population consisted of 18 men and 30 women with an average age of 57.6 years. Twenty-six percent of the cases had concomitant bony realignment procedures, while 20% had prior history of major hindfoot corrective procedures. There were 19 cases with intraoperative malleolar fractures, 12 cases that exhibited some degree of malalignment, and 6 cases of syndesmotic nonunion, and 8 ankles required early component revision. Minor wound complications that resolved with local wound care occurred in 9 cases, while 1 patient had a major wound complication requiring flap coverage. Each of these complications, other than wound complications, decreased with the surgeon's experience. Our results also indicate that the performance of major realignment procedures at the same time of implant arthroplasty is not associated with an increased incidence of complications. The results of this study suggest that total ankle arthroplasty is associated with a learning curve. Perioperative complications may potentially decrease with surgeon experience.     

老年股骨颈骨折围手术期的治疗分析

目的探讨老年人股骨颈骨折的治疗及围手术期的处理。方法回顾性分析2003年1月～2006年12月手术治疗的201例老年股骨颈骨折患者资料，其中男51例，女150例，年龄60～98岁，平均78．2岁。按Garden分型，Ⅱ型20例，Ⅲ型86例，Ⅳ型95例。采用多枚中空螺钉固定、Morre型人工股骨头置换术或双极人工股骨头置换手术进行治疗。结果本组患者平均住院10～14d，5～7d即能早期下床活动，住院期间及术后1年内无一例死亡。85％患者获得8个月～4年（平均2年）的随访，功能恢复按Harris评分，优良率为85％。结论老年人各脏器机能衰退，多同时合并各种内科疾病，手术治疗存在风险，但老年人股骨颈骨折的手术治疗仍能取得满意疗效。     

局部手法按摩用于扩张皮瓣的初步探讨
