Pediatric intracranial aneurysms——clinical characteristics and therapeutic strategies

Objective To assess the radiological characteristics and therapeutic strategies of intracranial aneurysms in children. Methods From our dedicated neurovascular databank of patients, we reviewed 23 consecutive children who had 24 intracranial aneurysms. There were 14 boys and 9 girls with a mean age of 9.09 years ( range 1 - 14 years ). Results Intracranial aneurysms in children ≤ 14 years constituted 1.3% of all intracranial aneurysms. Internal Carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were the most frequent sites for aneurysms. About 58.3% of the aneurysms were complex, including dissecting, pseudoaneurysm, giant and fusiform aneurysm. 1/3 of all aneurysms were located in posterior circulation. Only 1 case had multiple aneurysms in this case series. Almost half of all cases presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and others presented with mass effect. 14 cases underwent endovascular treatment. 4 patients received microsurgical therapy. 5 cases did not receive microsurgical or endovascular therapy, 2 of them whose aneurysms spontaneously thrombosed during follow up. One boy with left vertebral artery giant aneurysm died after endovascular therapy owing to gradual thrombosis in basilar artery. Another child had poor outcome because of rerupture of aneurysm before operation. Whereas the majority had a favorable outcome. Conclusions Intracranial aneurysms in children had many clinical and radiological characteristics different from those in adults : ( 1 ) remarkable male predominance; ( 2 ) ICA and MCA were the most common sites for aneurysms; (3) high incidence of large, traumatic, infectious, dissecting and fusiform aneurysms. (4)For pediatric intracranial aneurysms, both microsurgical approaches and endovascular treatment were effective. Endovaacular therapy was the best choice for complex aneurysms.     

脸色腰段椎间盘突出症21例临床分析

胸腰段椎间盘突出症罕见,约占椎间盘突出的0.6％～4％。随着CT及MRI的应用,其发病率有增加的趋势。因其发病率低,报道较少。但由于病变位于脊髓圆椎段,其发病较下腰段椎间盘突出有很大的特殊性,故有必要结合我院近年收治的21例对其作一回顾性分析。1 临床资料     

大、中型医疗设备购置论证的几个要点

医疗设备的购置论证是科学的采购与供应的前提，是医疗卫生事业发展的重要科学保障之一，是领导者合理决策的依据。长期以来，购置论证在实际工作中只是流于形式，或例行公事，其科学性往往被乎视，所购置设备经常因各种原因不能充分发挥其效能，提高其利用率，甚至出现新设备闲置现象，给医疗卫生事业造成了大量的浪费和损失，究其原因，就是没有充分地、科学地进行购置论证。根据我在实际工作中的一点经验和掌握的一些情况提出我认为购置的论证中的几个要点，以供同行、专家商榷。

呼吸系统感染症

无论因什么病入院的病人,抗感染能力降低的情况都很严。而以治疗为目的医疗措施也会使感染症患者再被细菌污染,增加了感染的机会。尽管看起来很矛盾,却是实际情况。呼吸系统疾病也不例外,革兰氏阴性杆菌,特别是由假单胞菌属之绿脓杆菌引起的呼吸器官感染症的增加已引起注意。一、痰液中非发酶菌的动向鉴定呼吸器官感染症致病菌因痰液受到上呼吸道细菌的污染,是较难办到的。而知道痰液中分离菌的动向,对掌握医院检出菌的特异性是有意义的。作者对1979～1984年六年间,病房患者痰液中分离菌的动向进行了观察。为了这个动向     

头孢哌酮钠联合中药治疗寻常型银屑病的疗效观察

笔者2006年3月至2007年5月应用头孢哌酮钠联合中药治疗寻常型银屑病25例取得比较满意的效果,现报告如下。1临床资料1·1一般资料寻常型银屑病共25例,其中男15例,女10例,男女比例3∶2,平均年龄39岁,其中20~30岁4例,>30~50岁16例,50岁以上5例;病程5个月~20a,平均4·1a,将其随机分为2组:治疗组15例,对照组10例,各组在性别、年龄、病程及病情严重程度上无明显统计学差异。1·2方法1·2·1治疗方法治疗组静脉滴注头孢哌酮钠(赛福必,珠海联邦制药厂有限公司)2·0 g,2次/d,同时予以清开灵注射液(北京中医药大学药厂)50 ml静脉滴注,15 d后停止使用赛福必,继续使用清开灵注射液。对照组使用清开灵注射液治疗。除此之外2组均外用加味黄芩膏。分别于治疗后第1,2,3,4周观察疗效,患者治疗前后做血、尿常规,肝肾功能等检查。1·2·2临床疗效评价根据银屑病面积严重指数(PSAI)评分标准对患者治疗前后症状、体征进行评分。评分标准按照银屑病皮损面积和严重程度测定:首先计算体表面积,头部(h)、躯干(t)、上肢(u)、下肢(i)分别占体表面积的10%,20%,30%,40%,各受累...
