Ruptured distal anterior choroidal artery aneurysm.

Ruptured aneurysms of the distal anterior choroidal artery (AchA) are extremely rare and management is dictated by clinical presentation. This report describes a rare patient with a distal AchA aneurysm and subarachnoid and intraventricular haemorrhage. A 60-year-old woman presented with a sudden onset of severe headache and vomiting. No aneurysms could be found on initial angiograms. A repeat angiogram performed 10 days after admission demonstrated an aneurysm in a branch of the cisternal segment of the left AchA without a definite neck. Surrounding vessels showed multifocal stricture and dilatation. Microsurgical clipping was not performed because the patient died suddenly due to pulmonary failure. The aetiology of the aneurysm in this case and surgical strategy are discussed.     

隐匿性巩膜破裂伤临床分析

目的探讨诊治隐匿性巩膜破裂伤的方法。方法回顾分析26例(26只眼)隐匿性巩膜破裂伤的临床资料。结果26只眼均行术中探查,其中23只眼行巩膜显微缝合术。术后视力提高8只眼,保持眼球形态23只眼。一期眼球摘除3只眼。结论隐匿性巩膜破裂伤的诊断无绝对依据,对疑似病例应及时手术探查。视力无光感不应作为眼球摘除的唯一指征。     

4110例肝炎分型分析

[目的]探讨各型肝炎的感染率。[方法]研究对象为我院住院及门诊患者，共计4110例。采用微粒子酶免分析法（MEIA）及酶联免疫吸附法（ELISA）进行肝炎分型（甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、庚肝）检测。[结果]4110例受检者中，单纯乙肝感染者133例，占3．24％；单纯丙肝感染者134例，占3．26％；单纯戊肝感染者2例，占0．05％；乙肝合并丙肝感染者3例，占0．07％；丙肝合并戊肝感染者1例，占0．02％；HAV、HDV、HGV无一例感染，感染率为0。另外，男性受检者2088人，乙肝感染者88人，占4．21％；丙肝感染者48人，占2．30％；女性受检者2022人，乙肝感染45人，占2．23％；丙肝感染86人，占4．25％。[结论]除丙肝外，各型感染率均低于全国平均感染率，与相关资料报道相差甚远。乙肝及丙肝仍以单纯感染多见。另，本组资料还显示，男性较女性更易感染乙肝病毒，而女性感染丙肝者远远高于男性，对于丙肝感染的性别差异，尚无报道，需进一步探讨。     

PINK1 mutations in sporadic early-onset Parkinson's disease.

Pathogenic PINK1 mutations have been described in PARK6-linked Parkinson's disease (PD) patients of Asian origin. However, data on the frequency of PINK1 mutations in sporadic early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) Asian patients are lacking. The objectives of this study were to report the frequency of PINK1 mutations of sporadic EOPD in an Asian cohort comprising of ethnic Chinese, Malays, and Indians, and to highlight a PINK1-positive patient who presented with restless legs symptoms. Eighty consecutive sporadic EOPD patients from the movement disorder clinics of two major tertiary institutions in the country were included. We performed sequence analysis of all the coding and exon-intron junctions of the PINK1 using specific primer sets. In addition, we genotyped polymorphisms detected from the analysis in a group of sporadic PD patients and controls. Three different mutations (two homozygous nonsense and one heterozygous missense) in the putative kinase domain were found in three patients, giving a 3.7% frequency of PINK1 mutations in our EOPD cohort. All the mutations were absent in 200 healthy controls. One patient with a novel homozygous nonsense PINK1 mutation presented unusually with restless legs symptoms. Separately, analysis of the frequency of four PINK1 polymorphisms in a group of sporadic PD and controls did not reveal any significant differences. We highlight a 3.7% frequency of PINK1 mutations in an Asian cohort (ethnic Chinese, Malay, and Indian) of EOPD. The phenotypic spectrum associated with PINK1-positive patients may be wider than previously reported. Polymorphisms of PINK1 do not appear to modulate risk of PD in our population.     

中草药灌肠液＋西医药治疗慢性结肠炎66例体会

目的 探讨中西医结合治疗慢性结肠炎的体会。方法 对采用中草药灌肠液E＋西医药治疗66例慢性结肠炎的临床观察进行分析。结果66例患者中，有效率达96％左右。结论 慢性结肠炎是我国的常见病及多发病，采用中草药＋西医药治疗，效果好，药价低廉，操作简便，值得推广，应予重视。     

自动痔疮套扎术(RPH)治疗轻中度痔疮

目的研究自动痔疮套扎术(RPH)治疗轻中度痔疮的临床疗效.方法应用自动痔疮套扎器对156例轻中度痔疮患者施行自动痔疮套扎术,观察手术疗效、并发症和病人满意度.结果共施行套扎治疗287例次,平均每人1.8次.术后全部患者的痔疮症状均有不同程度的好转,其中症状完全消除者143例(91.7%),以便血为主要症状者术后便血全部停止.术后主要不适有急便感或坠胀感51例(32.7%);术后痔块回缩不全8例(5.1%);无出血、感染、肛门狭窄等并发症.问卷调查病人的满意度,表示满意者149例(95.5%),基本满意6例(3.9%),不满意1例(0.6%).结论RPH对轻中度痔疮不仅具有极好的疗效,而且无需麻醉和住院,操作简便,术后痛苦轻微,几无并发症,病人满意度高.     

微囊化异种甲状旁腺组织移植的研究

目的探讨微囊化异种甲状旁腺(PTG)组织移植对Wistar大鼠甲状旁腺功能低下的治疗作用及微囊的通透性。方法 40只去甲状旁腺Wistar大鼠随机分为微囊组、非微囊组、空囊组、空白对照组。用海藻酸-钡交联微囊包裹兔甲状旁腺组织,移植至Wistar大鼠肾包囊。移植后每隔2周取血测血钙,移植后第16周取移植物进行透射电镜检查及T淋巴细胞、大鼠IgG抗体的免疫组织化学染色。结果微囊组移植后第4周血清钙由(1．62±0．04)mmol／L恢复至正常水平 (2．2～2．6)mmol／L,9例维持至观察期结束(P<0．01),非微囊组、空囊组及空白对照组血清钙差异无统计学意义(P>0．05)。第16周取出移植物检测显示移植物活性良好,微囊周围可见较多T 淋巴细胞浸润,囊壁及囊内IgG抗体染色阳性。结论海藻酸-钡交联微囊可对甲状旁腺组织起到有效的保护作用,使甲状旁腺组织较长时间存活并发挥正常功能。但海藻酸-钡交联微囊并未减轻受体免疫排斥反应的激活且未有效的免疫隔离IgG抗体。     

Serum bone markers in patients with loosening of cemented total hip endoprosthesis]

Serum levels of bone markers N-mid osteocalcin (OCN-Mid) and Cross-Laps in 20 patients (8 men and 12 women) with loosening of at least one element of total hip endoprosthesis confirmed during operation were compared with age and sex matched group with OA. Marker levels were measured by direct chemoluminescency using Modular E-170. Statistical analysis were done with t-Student test (alpha = 0.05). There were no significant differences in OCN-Mid, Cross-Laps levels and OCN-Mid/Cross-Laps ratio between both groups. Implant loosening is a slow process taking place on a relatively small surface in comparison to whole skeleton, so bone markers have no clinical value in diagnostics of total hip loosening.
