L’ingénierie cutanée pour le traitement des brûlures graves

Severe burned patients need definitive and efficient wound coverage. Outcome of massive burns has been improved by using cultured epithelial autografts (CEA). Despite fragility, percentages of success take, cost of treatment and long-term tendency to contracture, this surgical technique has been developed in few burn centres. First improvements were to combine CEA and dermis-like substitute. Cultured skin substitutes provide earlier skin closure and satisfying functional result. These methods have been used successfully in massive burns. Second improvement was to allow skin regeneration by using epidermal stem cells. Stem cells have capacity to differentiate into keratinocytes, to promote wound repair and to regenerate skin appendages. Human mesenchymal stem cells contribute to wound healing and were evaluated in cutaneous radiation syndrome. Skin regeneration and tissue engineering methods remain a complex challenge and offer the possibility of new treatment for injured and burned patients.

目的比较瑞芬太尼和瑞芬太尼联合硝酸甘油在全麻下鼻内镜手术中控制性降压效果。方法鼻内镜下鼻息肉、鼻窦炎手术病人共40例,ASAⅠ或Ⅱ级,用随机数字表分为瑞芬组和瑞硝组,每组20例,咪达唑仑、丙泊酚、瑞芬太尼和维库溴铵静脉复合全麻气管插管,2组术中均以瑞芬太尼0.1～0.2μg·kg~(-1)·min~(-1)、丙泊酚2～5 mg·kg~(-1)·h~(-1)持续泵输,维库溴铵4 mg·h~(-1),静脉注射。瑞硝组加用硝酸甘油静脉滴注,开始剂量5μg·min~(-1),调节滴速使收缩压维持在12 kPa(90 mmHg)左右。观察降压前(T_0)、降压后5 min(T_1)、30 min(T_2)、60 min(T_3)和停止降压后5 min(T_4)的收缩压和心率,计算心肌氧耗指数,瑞芬太尼、丙泊酚用量,手术时间和病人苏醒时间。结果2组病人年龄、性别和体重间差别无统计学意义(P>0.05)。T_1时2组血压明显下降,与T_0比较,均P<0.01,且瑞硝组降压程度明显大于瑞芬组(P<0.01),降压后的T_1,T_2瑞硝组心率加快,与瑞芬组相比有非常显著意义(P<0.01);降压期的氧耗指数,瑞硝组低于瑞芬组(P<0.05,P<0.01);停止降压后,瑞芬组血压和心率变化与T_3比,无统计学意义(P>0.05),但瑞硝组血压和心率均明显增加(P<0.01);瑞芬组的瑞芬太尼、丙泊酚用量和手术时间明显大于瑞硝组(P<0.01),2组病人的苏醒时间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论鼻内镜手术瑞芬太尼在常用剂量范围内作控制性降压虽比较平稳,但难以达到目标血压,联合硝酸甘油后效果明显,并可减少麻醉药用量和手术时间,减少病人医疗费用。     

Patient selection for biventricular pacing

In heart failure patients with a large QRS width, biventricular pacing has been shown to improve the fonctional status as well as hemodynamic parameters. However, there are non-responders despite of wide QRS complexes (between 15 and 35%). Patients selection might not rely only on electrical parameters. From an electrophysiological concept, clinicians moved toward a more electromechanical analysis, by using non-invasive tools such as Tissue Doppler imaging. Thereby, more than the QRS width, identification of intra-left ventricular asynchrony appears to be a crucial criterion for selecting responders to biventricular pacing. From this fact, several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of biventricular pacing to improve heart failure patients with narrow QRS but with intra-left ventricular asynchrony. Another parameter has been thought to be predominant, i.e. the left ventricular pacing site. If the pacing lead is located within a "slow conduction" area (at this time very difficult to identify during the implant procedure), biventricular pacing will generate a new asynchrony counteracting the beneficial expected. Thus, biventricular pacing appears to be more an electromechanical concept than exclusively electrical for selecting responders. Still, the optimal location of the left ventricular pacing lead remains to be determined.     

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer: which reconstructive surgical procedure should be retained?

Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction represents a surgical option that may improve psychosocial outcome without modifying patients' survival. Psychosocial impact of used surgical technique and moment of realization of breast reconstruction remains unclear. However, complications are negatively related to patients' satisfaction. There is no guideline for BR indications. Therefore, a review of clinical and cosmetic outcomes of different breast reconstruction modalities was necessary. It permitted to propose a shared decision-making algorithm for the choice of moment and technique of BR according to the presence of radiotherapy that appears to be the main risk factor of clinical outcome of breast reconstruction. It also disclosed some limits in information reliability about clinical outcome of particular associations of breast reconstruction and radiotherapy. Proportion of women pursuing breast reconstruction, and particularly immediate breast reconstruction, is rising. Clinical surveys assessing relation between radiotherapy and clinical and psychosocial outcome of breast reconstruction are urgently expected.     

The molecular biology of distraction osteogenesis

Distraction osteogenesis has become a mainstay in bone engineering and the recent application of this technique to the membranous craniofacial skeleton has significantly improved our armamentarium for reconstructive craniomaxillofacial procedures. However, if the biomechanical, histological and ultrastructural changes associated with distraction osteogenesis have been widely described, the molecular mechanisms governing the formation of new bone in the interfragmental gap of gradually distracted bone segments remain largely unclear. Recently, our laboratory has described a rat mandibular distraction model that provides an excellent environment for deciphering the molecular mechanisms that mediate distraction osteogenesis. In this Article, we present the hypotheses and current research that have furthered our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that govern distraction osteogenesis. Recent studies have implicated a growing number of cytokines that are intimately involved in the regulation of bone synthesis and turnover. The gene regulation of numerous cytokines (Transforming Growth Factor-B, Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, Fibroblast Growth Factor-2) during distraction osteogenesis have been best characterized and will be discussed in this text. We believe that novel systems like the rat model will facilitate our understanding of the biomolecular mechanisms that mediate membranous distraction osteogenesis and will ultimately guide the development of targeted-strategies designed to accelerate bone healing.     

Evaluation of ventricular asynchronism by Doppler tissue imaging in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

OBJECTIVES: To study ventricular asynchronism with tissue Doppler imaging in patients with primitive dilated cardiomyopathy and narrow QRS. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We compared a group of patients with DCM and QRS < 120 ms (gr 1, n=25, 52+/-14 yrs, LVEF: 25+/-9%) with a group of normal patients (gr 2, n=16, 36+/-20 yrs). We measured the delays between the beginning of QRS and the beginnings of aortic (QA), mitral (QM), tricuspid (QT) and pulmonary (QP) flows, and of systolic (QSm) and protodiastolic (QEm) wall motion waves recorded with TDI in the basal portion of interventricular septum (IVS) and LV and RV free walls. We then calculated the differences QA-QP, QM-QT, the interparietal differences for QSm and QEm, and the maximal interparietal systolic (QSm max) and diastolic (QEm max) delays. RESULTS: QA, QP, QM and QT were significantly lengthened in group 1 patients but there were no difference between both groups for QA-QP and QM-QT. There was a trend toward a lengthening of QSm and QEm in group 1 patients. Interparietal differences of QSm and QEm were similar in both groups; however, QSm max and QEm max were significantly longer in group 1 patients than in group 2. CONCLUSION: Doppler study of patients with DCM and narrow QRS shows a lengthening of all electromechanical delays and suggests some degree of ventricular asynchronism by showing a significant increase in maximal interparietal systolic and diastolic delays.
