肌纤维内脂滴增多在炎性肌病中的意义

目的　了解在炎性肌病中肌纤维内脂滴增多的发生频率、影响因素及临床意义。方法回顾性分析53例多发性肌炎和皮肌炎患者的临床病理资料,通过油红O染色显示肌纤维脂滴,依据肌纤维内脂滴的含量将患者分为大致正常和明显增多两组,比较各组患者肌力、肌酶谱、肌肉组织病变程度、病程和用皮质类固醇治疗情况。结果　在53例肌肉标本中, 37 7%有脂滴明显增多。与脂滴正常组相比,脂滴明显增多组肌纤维坏变程度和临床肌力下降程度差异有统计学意义。虽然用激素治疗患者出现脂滴明显增多的几率增加,但无统计学意义。结论　部分肌炎患者有肌纤维内脂滴增多,主要与肌纤维病变有关,细胞能量代谢的异常又可能促进肌纤维的病变,加重肌肉无力。

Evaluation of lipid accumulation in muscle fibers in inflammatory myopathies

Objective To study the frequency and correlate factors of lipid accumulation in muscle fibers in inflammatory myopathies Methods Muscle biopsy specimens were routinely processed for histopathological and histochemical studies Excepting inflammatory changes, lipid droplets were observed by ORO staining According to the amount of lipid droplets in the muscle fibers, these cases were separated into two groups, and then the differences in muscle power, serum CK level, morphologic changes of muscle, courses and corticosteroids administration between two groups were compared Results 37 7% specimens showed lipid accumulation in muscle fibers distinctly As compare with the lipid normal group, in the lipid increasing group, the generalized muscle fiber degenerating were more common and muscle weakness were more prominent Although more patients have long term therapy with steroid in lipid increasing group, there were no significant differences between these two groups Conclusions Lipid accumulation in muscle fibers was present in some patients with inflammatory myopathies Increasing of lipid droplets might result from the muscle fiber degenerating and might turn to impair the muscle function reversely
