简介:目的本文报道了12例同时性多灶性喉癌并通过分析其临床病理学特点,探讨多灶性喉癌的发生学来源.方法回顾性分析1991~2001年间我院行全喉切除术的12例同时性多灶性喉癌的TNM分期、肿瘤位置、大小、组织学类型、病理学分级以及病史等.结果同时性多灶性喉癌的发病率是1.4%(12/861).所有病理均为鳞状细胞癌.同一病例各病灶的组织学类型和病理学分级均相同.二病灶喉癌的发生率占总数的91.7%(11/12),仅一例为三病灶喉癌、67%(8/12)患者中二病灶分别位于双声带游离缘的对应处.3例(25%)有术前放疗史,1例术前曾行多次声带活检为不典型增生.所有病例术前均未诊断出多灶性.结论声门型同时性多灶性喉癌可能为单中心起源.腔内种植即声带振动时癌细胞从一侧声带游离缘种植到对侧接触损伤处,可能是喉癌多灶性的原因之一,放疗可能是多灶性喉癌的诱发因素.
简介:目的:探讨获得性免疫缺陷综合征(acquredimmunodeficiencysyndrome,AIDS,简称艾滋病)发生视乳头病变的类型及其与CD4^+T淋巴细胞的关系。方法:回顾分析107例(214眼)艾滋病患者经眼底彩照及眼底荧光血管造影(fluoresceinangiography,FFA)检查确诊的视乳头病变患者,统计AIDS性视乳头病变的发生率及病变类型以及与CD^+T淋巴细胞数之间的关系。结果:107例(214跟)AIDS患者发生视乳头病变71眼,占33.2%;其中,前段缺血性视神经病变30眼,占42.2%(30/71);视盘水肿12眼,占16.9%(12/71);无体征性视神经病变29眼,占40.8%(29/71)。CD4^+T淋巴细胞≤50个/μ发生视乳头病变59眼,未发生视乳头病变75眼,发病率44.0%(59/134);CD^4+T淋巴细胞≥51个/μL发生视乳头病变12眼,未发生视乳头病变68眼,发病率15.0%(12/80)。经双侧检测统计:χ^2=19.042,P=0.000。说明组间具有显著差异性。结论:AIDS视乳头病变的类型呈多样性,且CD^4+T淋巴细胞数越少,发生视乳头病变的几率越大。
简介:目的分析4例儿童功能性失明病例,探讨其诊断与治疗。方法回顾分析门诊诊断为功能性失明的患者4例,其中男性1例,女性3例,年龄7—13岁,均为双眼患病。病史1周至1年。所有患儿均诉说视力下降,视力从数指至0.1,2例伴视野缺损。眼部、神经影像学及眼电生理检查均阴性,诊断为功能性失明。结果与家长及患儿解释不存在器质病变,视功能可以完全恢复,并辅以非特殊安慰剂治疗后,3例在2d内视力恢复到1.0,1例1周后视力恢复到1.0,视野扩大至正常。结论诊断功能性失明需排除眼及神经系统的器质性疾病。儿童功能性失明预后好。(中国眼耳鼻喉科杂志,2008,8:21—23)
简介:目的:评价羊膜移植几种手术方法治疗大泡性角膜病变的临床效果。方法:对18例大泡性角膜病变患者,分别采取角膜层间烧烙术、新鲜羊膜移植术、角膜灼烙联合羊膜嵌入移植手术。结果:18例大泡性角膜病变患者,术后1~5d疼痛消失,7~12d角膜上皮修复,7~21d后羊膜植片常规溶解。角膜层间烧烙术1眼、新鲜羊膜移植术3眼术后1~2mo再次出现角膜大泡及角膜刺激症状而再次手术。角膜灼烙联合羊膜嵌入移植术,术后当天疼痛消失,14d角膜上皮光滑,角膜大泡消失。随访6~18mo无1例复发,部分患者视力有不同程度的提高。结论:角膜灼烙联合羊膜嵌入移植对大泡性角膜病变具有明显的治疗效果.
简介:目的分析常年性变应性鼻炎的狗、猫上皮变应原皮肤点刺试验的阳性结果,对其他气传变应原的反应性,并进一步探讨环境接触与其相关性。方法总结1022例常年性变应性鼻炎患者采用阿罗格叶7种气传变应原标准化试液进行的皮肤点刺试验;分析狗、猫上皮变应原的皮试结果及合并其他气传变应原阳性的比例;并根据是否有环境接触分类,比较各组在阳性率分布上的差异。结果常年性变应性鼻炎中狗上皮变应原皮试阳性占13.80%,猫上皮阳性占6.95%;且98%以上合并其他气传变应原阳性,尤以合并粉尘螨、屋尘螨阳性居多。其中21.93%和26.32%环境接触狗/猫的变应性鼻炎相应狗/猫上皮变应原皮试阳性;无环境接触组的阳性率分别为12.78%和6.58%,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.01)。结论常年性变应性鼻炎的狗上皮及猫上皮的阳性率位居前列,其中绝大多数合并其他气传变应原阳性。鉴于环境接触对狗、猫上皮过敏的高危险性,变应性鼻炎患者应该尽可能地避免饲养、接触宠物。
简介:目的:研究2型糖尿病患者糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabeticretinopathy,DR)与干眼的相关性。方法:选取2015-08/2017-02于我院眼科门诊就诊的干眼患者资料,其中2型糖尿病无DR患者50例100眼,合并非增殖性视网膜病变者(nonproliferativediabeticretinopathy,NPDR)50例100眼、合并增殖性视网膜病变者(proliferativediabeticretinopathy,PDR)50例100眼,非糖尿病的干眼患者50眼作为对照组。分别行眼表疾病指数(ocularsurfacediseaseindex,OSDI)问卷、泪液分泌试验(SchirmerItest,SIt)、泪膜破裂时间(break-uptime,BUT)和角膜荧光染色(fluoresceinstaining,FL)检查。比较三组糖尿病患者干眼的患病率及各组干眼程度的差异性。结果:2型糖尿病患者中无DR眼、合并NPDR眼、合并PDR眼的干眼患病率分别为:44%、51%、59%。无DR干眼患者与对照组干眼程度、OSDI、SIt、BUT、FL差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。NPDR干眼患者较无DR干眼患者干眼程度更严重,OSDI、SIt、BUT、FL差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);PDR干眼患者较NPDR干眼患者干眼程度更严重,SIt、BUT、FL差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05),但OSDI评分低,与无DR干眼患者差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:2型糖尿病患者随着DR的发生与进展,干眼的患病率增加,干眼的严重程度也增加,但严重DR患者眼表不适症状可能减轻。
