Severe lumbar spinal stenosis combined with Guillain-Barré syndrome: A case report

BACKGROUNDGuillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare disorder that typically presents with ascending weakness, pain, paraesthesias, and numbness, which mimic the findings in lumbar spinal stenosis. Here, we report a case of severe lumbar spinal stenosis combined with GBS.CASE SUMMARYA 70-year-old man with a history of lumbar spinal stenosis presented to our emergency department with severe lower back pain and lower extremity numbness. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis of severe lumbar spinal stenosis. However, his symptoms did not improve postoperatively and he developed dysphagia and upper extremity numbness. An electromyogram was performed. Based on his symptoms, physical examination, and electromyogram, he was diagnosed with GBS. After 5 d of intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg/d for 5 d) therapy, he gained 4/5 of strength in his upper and lower extremities and denied paraesthesias. He had regained 5/5 of strength in his extremities when he was discharged and had no symptoms during follow-up.CONCLUSIONGBS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal disorder, even though magnetic resonance imaging shows severe lumbar spinal stenosis. This case highlights the importance of a careful diagnosis when a patient has a history of a disease and comes to the hospital with the same or similar symptoms.

经9次核酸检测终确诊的新型冠状病毒肺炎患者1例分析

目前新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)疫情在全球蔓延,形势严峻,并对全球公共卫生事业构成巨大挑战,快速准确的诊断COVID-19对疫情的防控有重要意义。本文报道1例COVID-19患者的调查和确诊过程,以对COVID-19确诊和疫情防控提供有价值的参考。患者为赴渝务工于2020年1月23日返乡人员,在渝期间,其同工地的一同事确诊为COVID-19,之后该工地接连有另外8位同事被确诊。患者返乡后2月2日被当地疫情防控单位采取医学隔离。患者于隔离后不久出现咳嗽,阵发性,干咳为主,偶可咳出黄色痰液等COVID-19相关临床症状,遂被当地新型冠状病毒肺炎定点医疗单位收治,后经市级新型冠状病毒肺炎诊治专家组远程视频会诊转入四川大学华西医院资阳医院。患者先后经历9次核酸检测,在前8次核酸检测均为阴性的情况下,于第9次核酸检测结果为阳性,2月21日最终确诊为新型冠状病毒肺炎。     

郭军教授治疗特发性男性不育症的经验

男性不育症中,精液分析多种参数异常且无法找到明确病因的称为特发性男性不育症,其发病率不断提高,给国内甚至全球范围内家庭带来精神及经济负担。由于病因不明确,目前现代医学尚无有效治疗方法。传统中医药通过辨证论治在治疗特发性男性不育症时具有优势,郭军教授认为该病以肾脾两虚为本,为体内湿热形成奠定基础,患者久病无子嗣,肝气不畅则郁结,气血津液运行不通则夹血瘀湿热等有形实邪,另外怪病多痰。故对于特发性男性不育症,治法注重补泻兼施,扶正祛邪,补益脾肾为主,对于湿热、痰湿、瘀血则清热祛湿化痰,活血化瘀等,并举验案1例。     

小儿腹股沟斜疝日间手术与专科住院手术的卫生经济学评价

目的对小儿日间手术模式和专科住院手术模式的卫生经济学进行评价,为小儿腹股沟斜疝手术的优选和决策提供参照依据。方法收集2016年6月至2017年7月间所有在重庆医科大学附属儿童医院治疗且符合纳入标准的单侧腹股沟斜疝患儿的临床资料,其中日间手术患儿324例(日间组),专科住院手术患儿65例(专科组)。比较两种手术模式下的患儿一般资料、治疗指标、容错情况、术后需要留院处理的并发症发生率、复发率、院内的感染等卫生效果指标;比较两种模式的HCAHPS优化星表满意度、住院时间、住院费用等卫生经济学指标。统计分析两种模式的成本-效果:治疗效果权重W、治疗效果指数(EI)、成本-效果比(CER)。结果日间外科组和专科组在性别、区域方面的差异无统计学意义,专科组年龄分布更广。日间组与专科组占用床位时间分别为(23.17±0.49)h和(112.06±19.75)h,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01);两组的医疗费用分别为(3372±430)元和(6063±2104)元,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。两组麻醉分级ASA比例的差异具有统计学意义,两组术后并发症发生率的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。日间组与专科组治疗EI分别为0.98和1.02,CER分别为3305和6184,日间组经济学效益较大。结论日间手术的成本-效果优于专科住院手术模式,患儿满意度和术后复发率与专科住院模式的差异无统计学意义,推荐符合日间手术指征的患儿采用该模式。     

Uncalcified Synovial Chondromatosis in the Pisotriquetral Joint

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare lesion in the wrist, but some cases in the distal radioulnar joint have been reported and previous case reports emphasize joint calcifications, shown on preoperative plain radiographs. We report an extremely uncommon case of synovial chondromatosis in the pisotriquetral joint, in which radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging did not demonstrate apparent calcified bodies. In our case, for the accurate diagnosis and treatment, surgical exploration of the joint and synovectomy with removal of loose bodies was performed.     

母亲龋易感性与婴儿口腔微生物多样性关系的纵向探究

目的通过检查有龋及无龋母亲的口腔卫生状况,并通过随访收集其婴儿1个月(1月龄)及6个月(6月龄)的唾液样本测序分析,观察母亲患龋情况对其婴儿口腔微生物多样性的影响。方法通过筛查收集1月龄婴儿的唾液样本;于首次采样时记录母亲的口腔卫生状况,根据母亲患龋情况将婴儿分为母亲有龋组(简称有龋组)和母亲无龋组(简称无龋组),跟踪随访至婴儿6个月时再次收集唾液样本。通过高通量测序的方法,分析婴儿不同月龄微生物多样性的变化。结果本研究随访受试者10例(男6例,女4例),其中有龋组7例,无龋组3例,各组间的微生物群落多样性Shannon指数均无显著性差异(P>0.05)。无龋组婴儿1月龄至6月龄时微生物群落的物种组成有较大变化;有龋组婴儿在1月龄和6月龄时组内各样本间物种组成均差异较大;1月龄时两组微生物群落较相似,而至6月龄时两组婴儿唾液的物种组成已开始发生变化。结论有龋组婴儿口腔内菌群多样性总体高于无龋组,在1月龄至6月龄间婴儿口腔内微生物物种的多样性及丰度均有了不同程度的提高。
