Endolymph magnetic resonance imaging: Contribution of saccule and utricle analysis in the management of patients with sensorineural ear disorders

Endolymphatic hydrops features excess endolymph in the membranous labyrinth, and is a marker of Menière's disease. Between the early 1980s and late 2000s, MRI in Menière's disease aimed purely to rule out tumor or malformation as differential diagnoses for the pressure disorder. Progress in high-resolution MRI, however, now enables excess endolymph to be visualized in the membranous labyrinth, differentiating saccule and utricle in Menière's disease and in other clinical presentations such as cochleovestibular schwannoma. More recently, non-visibility of the saccule was demonstrated in a subgroup of Menière's disease patients, and utricle atelectasis in case of uni- or bilateral vestibular areflexia. Endolymph quantification remains highly controversial in terms of grading approach, but a simple semiology based on excess or deficient visualization of endolymph according to the compartment sheds light on the pathophysiological mechanisms of cochleovestibular disorder and may in future allow effective monitoring of medical and surgical treatment.     

Computed tomography imaging features for amyloid dacryolith in the nasolacrimal excretory system: A case report

BACKGROUNDNasolacrimal duct obstruction leading to epiphora is a common ophthalmologic complaint, and it may derive from amyloidosis in rare cases. There are a few reports about localized amyloidosis, and amyloidosis with involvement and obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct is exceedingly rare. CASE SUMMARYA 54-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of a lump overlying the left lacrimal sac that had grown rapidly for nearly half a year. Physical examination touched a firm lump in the left lacrimal sac. Nasal endoscopy discovered lesions in appearance of sediments with easy bleeding at the entry of the nasolacrimal duct of the left inferior nasal meatus. Computerized tomography scan revealed speckle high density in the left lacrimal sac and the dilated nasolacrimal duct. During an endoscopic exploration and excision, a large number of dacryoliths were exposed. Pathology indicated amorphous pink material and multinucleated giant cell reaction in the fibrous tissue.CONCLUSIONThis case showed amyloidosis in localized form mimicking dacryolith with nasolacrimal duct obstruction. In clinical practice, we should be aware of the possibility of localized amyloidosis in the nasolacrimal excretory system.     

白内障围手术期结膜囊菌群分布及药敏试验

目的 分析白内障围手术期结膜囊菌群的分布及药敏试验结果。方法 选取264例白内障患者,分别在患者入院后、手术消毒前、手术消毒后、手术结束后四个时间点取样,进行细菌培养及药敏试验,比较不同时期的细菌培养结果和药敏结果。结果 入院后结膜囊细菌培养阳性率明显高于手术消毒前、手术消毒后及手术结束后;入院后结膜囊细菌培养以表皮葡萄球菌为主;革兰氏阳性球菌对头孢西丁、加替沙星、左氧氟沙星等敏感性较高。结论 表皮葡萄球菌是结膜囊最常见的细菌,术前应常规应用抗生素点眼,聚维酮碘冲洗结膜囊等来预防术后感染性眼内炎。     

小横切口手术治疗小儿腹股斜疝

目的：探讨小儿腹股沟斜疝手术方法。方法：经外环小横切口行疝囊高位结扎加修补术。结果：全组126例，平均手术时间12min，无一例出现并发症。结论：此方法有切口小、时间短、创伤轻、恢复快、费用低、疤痕不明显等优点，值得推广。     

心包膜移植在结膜囊成形术中的应用

目的：探讨保存人心包膜移植治疗结膜囊狭窄的临床效果及安全性。方法：对眼球摘除术后伴有结膜囊狭窄综合征的26例26眼，利用心包膜移植行部分结膜囊成形术，术后随访观察3～12个月，平均8个月。结果：24眼（92．31％）在术后30～60天移植的心包膜被结膜覆盖，感染1例（3．85％），结膜囊狭窄1例（3．85％）。结论：保存心包膜移植治疗结膜囊狭窄取材方便，疗效显著，操作简单。     

白内障手术结膜囊及房水细菌培养的临床观察

目的　探讨白内障术中结膜囊、房水污染与眼内炎的关系。方法　对 74例 80眼白内障囊外摘除术中结膜囊及房水进行细菌培养。结果　 16 0份细菌培养标本中 ,细菌培养阳性者 18株 ,平均培养阳性率为 11.3%。房水为 8株 ,检出率为 10 .0 % ;结膜囊为 10株 ,检出率为 12 .5 %。以表皮葡萄球菌为主 (11 18) ,其中 3眼结膜囊及房水检出同一菌株。检出阳性的 15眼无 1例发展成眼内炎。结论　白内障摘除术后前房有少量细菌 ,虽不致发生眼内炎 ,但不可掉以轻心。     

小儿卵黄囊瘤

本院1966年～1989年共收治小儿卵黄囊瘤37例,经血清甲胎蛋白(AFP)测定,光镜确定诊断又通过10例电镜观察,8例AFP免疫组化观察,文献复习,本文支持Teilum提出该瘤来源于卵黄囊瘤背壁的全能性生殖细胞的组织发生观点;1.胚胎卵黄囊有合成AFP能力,本文意儿血清AFP明显升高,免疫酶标可作AFP定位。2.超微结构观察:肿瘤形态与妊娠7周卵黄囊相似,电镜下可见到上皮性及间叶性成份相当于胚外内胚层及胚外中胚层成份。且讨论了该瘤的命名与畸胎瘤关系和免疫组化的应用     

小儿早期睾丸卵黄囊瘤12例报告

目的：提高对小儿早期睾丸卵黄囊瘤的诊断与治疗水平。方法：回顾性分析12例小儿早期睾丸卵黄囊瘤的病例资料。结果：12例患者术前行阴囊B超示睾丸增大，内部回声不均匀，7例可见睾丸内积液改变；甲胎蛋白(AFP)值均明显升高。12例均行根治性睾丸切除术，术后行病理检查确诊。术前、术后均未行化疗，9例随诊5年未见复发，2002年就诊的3例目前未见复发症状。结论：小儿早期睾丸卵黄囊瘤可根据相关检查结果，结合病理检查确诊。治疗方法为行根治性睾丸切除，可不作化疗，预后较好。
