使用新型倒刺电极的骶神经调节治疗神经源性膀胱的初步临床结果

目的探讨应用新型倒刺电极（Tined-lead）对神经源性膀胱患者行S骶神经调节（SNM）的初步疗效。方法对5例神经源性膀胱患者采用新型倒刺电极，在X线监测下将电极植入S3骶神经孔，进行SNM。术前、术后详细记录排尿日记，用影像尿动力学方法评估患者的膀胱尿道功能。结果患者1（隐性骶裂）术后排尿次数和排尿量分别改善22％和49％；患者2（隐性骶裂）术后排尿次数、排尿量和残余尿量分别改善0．7％、11％和46％；患者3（隐性骶裂）术后排尿次数、排尿量和残余尿量分别改善0．4％、18％和44％。患者4（脑外伤）术后漏尿次数和漏尿量分别改善36％和54％。患者5（高位截瘫）术后间歇导尿次数和导尿量分别改善42％和54％，尿动力学参数改善37％～45％。结论用新型倒刺电极进行SNM为神经源性膀胱的治疗提供了一条新的可供选择的微创方法。     

Bilateral Ulnar Agenesis: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Bilateral ulnar agenesis is a rare abnormality. A total of 36 cases are analyzed: 35 of these are documented in the literature and 1 stillborn male is presented in this study. Most patients had one of the three conditions: Al-Awadi/Raas-Rothschild syndrome, syndrome of ulnar aplasia with split hand/split foot deformity, or the Brachmann—de Lange syndrome. Fifty percent of all cases with bilateral ulnar agenesis were associated with lower limb defects and these cases, for the most part, also belonged to the aforementioned syndromes. Nonskeletal, internal organ malformations were identified in 34% of all patients. Nine patients presented with isolated bilateral ulnar agenesis. The Al-Awadi/Raas-Rothschild syndrome and the split hand/split foot deformity are heritable disorders. There was no evidence for genetic etiology in most of the other cases. Bilateral ulnar agenesis in our fetus was part of the Brachmann—de Lange syndrome with associated cardiac defect, diaphragmatic hernia, and umbilical artery agenesis.     

Interhemispheric multiloculated ependymal cyst with dysgenesis of the corpus callosum: a case in a preterm fetus

Introduction The authors report a case of interhemispheric ependymal cyst accompanied with agenesis of the corpus callosum in a fetus. Discussion Routine ultrasound and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging of a 20-year-old woman at 33 weeks and 1 day of gestation detected a large interhemispheric cystic lesion in the fetal cranial cavity. Caesarian section was carried out at 36 weeks because of the progressive enlargement of the fetal head. The cyst was multiloculated and a cyst peritoneal shunt placement resulted in collapse of the drained cyst components followed by enlargement of others. After wrack-a-mole-like shunt revisions, open surgery was performed at the age of 2 years. Cyst walls were fenestrated and the cavities were communicated with each other and eventually with the lateral ventricle. Pathological diagnosis of the cyst wall was ependymal cyst. The boy is now 3 years old, and growing without apparent developmental delay or recurrence. Current concept and management policy of the interhemispheric cyst accompanied with agenesis of the corpus callosum is reviewed.     

腹主动脉球囊阻断技术在骶骨肿瘤切除中的临床评价

[目的]探讨应用腹主动脉球囊阻断技术在行骶骨肿瘤切除术中的临床应用价值。[方法]对36例骶骨肿瘤患者切除过程中应用腹主动脉球囊阻断技术(腹主动脉球囊阻断组),复习既往32例骶骨肿瘤应用传统的术前血管栓塞技术切除肿瘤患者(对照组)的临床资料,比较2组手术时间、出血量、并发症发生率、平均住院时间、术后恢复时间及复发率。[结果]腹主动脉球囊阻断组手术时间为(149.19±73.81)min,术中出血量为(826.67±509.11)ml,有2例骶神经损伤,平均住院时间(26.05±7.08)d,术后恢复时间(34.61±8,22)d,半年复发率5.5%,1年复发率11%,2年复发率16%;对照组手术时间为(221.33±45.19)min,出血量为(1652±706.99)ml,有3例骶神经损伤,4例出现局部皮肤缺血性疼痛,1例出现性功能障碍。平均住院时间(37.93±7.63)d,术后恢复时间(46.03±9.67)d,半年复发率18%,1年复发率31%,2年复发率40.6%。两者比较有显著性差异(P<0.05)。[结论]在骶骨肿瘤过程中,采用腹主动脉球囊阻断技术,可以缩短手术时间,减少出血量及并发症,缩短住院天数,术后恢复快,降低了复发率。是一项具有实用价值的临床技术。     

Agenesis of permanent incisors in a mediaeval maxilla and mandible: aetiological aspects

A paleopathological maxilla and mandible with tooth agenesis were analyzed, focussing on the aetiology of the condition. The jaw material, derived from an adult mediaeval male, was examined by standard anthropological analyses, including radiography. In the maxilla there was agenesis of three permanent incisors and one premolar, and in the mandible of one permanent incisor and two permanent molars. Absence or marked reduction of the incisive foramen and the nasopalatine canal was found. The pattern of tooth agenesis was similar to the pattern observed in contemporary individuals, except for the agenesis of one permanent maxillary centreal insisor. It is suggested that the pronounced lack of the premaxillary area of the nasopalatine canals and the incisive foramen. As the condition can be ascribed to deviations in the prenatal developments, this investigation shows that embryological developmental patterns, which form the basis for the pattern of tooth agenesis, should be taken into account when evaluation dry bonde patholgy.
