Conservative Treatment of de Quervain's Disease

Thirty patients with de Quervain''s disease were treated by injection of hydrocortisone acetate and lignocaine. A 93% incidence of complete relief of symptoms was obtained after 18 months. It is recommended that this is the treatment of choice before resorting to surgery.     

关节镜治疗髋关节疾病的临床研究

目的:研究髋关节镜治疗髋关节疾病的方法、疗效及适应证,探讨髋关节镜在髋关节疾病中的临床价值。方法:研究对象为86例有明显髋关节疼痛的患者,包括股骨头坏死(osteonecrosis,ON)(43%)、盂唇损伤(20%)、退行性关节病变(degenerative joint disease,DJD)(10%)、股骨头骨骺缺血性坏死(Legg-Calve'-Perthes,LCP)(10%)、髋关节游离体(10%)、髋关节疼痛(100%)、机械性损伤(78%)、运动损伤(56%)。对患者采用仰卧位进行髋关节镜检查,使用牵引床,300或700,前外侧入口。观察不同疾病在治疗后的预后结果。结果:所有患者均无并发症,平均随访时间30个月,有60%的患者疼痛症状得到缓解。盂唇(91%,P0.003)或LCP(89%,P0.05)患者疗效较好,而ON和DJD患者疼痛症状缓解较差,改善率仅为40%和44%。在吻合血管游离腓骨移植(free-vascularized fibular graft,FVEG)的患者中有34%在随访期间得到改善(P=0.003)。其中18名患者(21%)进行了全髋关节置换术。结论:髋关节镜手术对于游离体、盂唇损伤、局灶性软骨病变、晚期LCP后遗症患者有良好的治疗效果;对股骨头坏死的治疗效果不佳。     

人工髋关节置换术治疗高龄患者股骨粗隆间骨折的临床疗效研究

目的:探究人工髋关节置换术治疗高龄患者股骨粗隆间骨折的临床疗效。方法:选择40例高龄股骨粗隆间骨折患者并将其随机分为两组,观察组给予人工髋关节置换术治疗,对照组经股骨近端髓内钉内固定术治疗。观察比较两组L2-4椎体骨密度、疼痛程度、髋关节功能恢复情况及Harris评分。结果:治疗后,两组L2-4椎体骨密度均显著高于治疗前(P0.05),且观察组显著高于对照组(P0.05);观察组疼痛比例较治疗前明显降低(P0.05),且显著低于对照组(P0.05);观察组髋关节恢复优良率为95.0%,显著高于对照组(70.0%,P0.05);两组Harris评分均显著高于治疗前(P0.05),且观察组显著高于对照组(P0.05)。结论:采用人工髋关节置换术治疗高龄股骨粗隆间骨折的疗效明显优于经股骨近端髓内钉内固定术治疗,其可有效促进髋关节功能恢复,减轻患者疼痛。     

Conservative Treatment for Postprostatectomy Incontinence

Postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is a bothersome complication of radical prostatectomy. Although most men recover from PPI, some men continue to have persistent urinary incontinence. The initial management of persistent PPI usually consists of conservative measures such as pelvic floor muscle exercises. Surgical treatments are usually not entertained for men with urinary incontinence until conservative treatments have failed. This article discusses risk factors for PPI and various options for its treatment, including biofeedback and pharmacotherapy.Key words: Postprostatectomy incontinence, Radical prostatectomy, Pelvic floor muscle training, Pelvic floor stimulationPostprostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is a bothersome complication of radical prostatectomy (RP). Although most men recover from PPI, some men continue to have persistent urinary incontinence and roughly half of these men seek treatment.¹ It is important to understand the natural history of postprostatectomy urinary dysfunction prior to initiating treatment. Generally, the initial management of persistent PPI consists of conservative measures such as pelvic floor muscle exercises.     

腹腔镜下输卵管妊娠的保守性手术治疗

目的:分析腹腔镜下保守性手术治疗输卵管妊娠的疗效及临床应用价值。方法:对2009年1月～2011年12月就诊于本院妇产科的80例输卵管妊娠患者进行腹腔镜下输卵管开窗术及挤压法清除输卵管妊娠胚胎,患侧输卵管系膜下注射甲氨蝶呤(MTX)50mg及稀释垂体后叶素3IU。结果:80例输卵管妊娠患者腹腔镜下的保守手术均取得成功,均顺利保留了输卵管。无中转开腹的病例,术后未发现有并发症的患者,有2例发生持续性异位妊娠。手术所需时间为(52±14)min,手术过程中出血量(28±16)mL,术后住院天数平均5.5 d。术后输卵管通畅率达88.75%。结论:腹腔镜下行保守手术保留生育功能,手术所需时间短、术中出血量少,术后恢复快。     

Conservative Treatment of Chronic Heart Block

A study of 203 patients with chronic heart block treated with oral long-acting isoprenaline showed that 85 (42%) were maintained satisfactorily on the drug for a mean period of 18.2 months. The survival rates at one, two, and three years were 76%, 64%, and 57% respectively. In 115 patients treatment by pacing became necessary to control symptoms, and in these patients the survival rates at one, two and three years were 83%, 72%, and 60%.The two most valuable guides to patients'' response to oral isoprenaline are the response to a trial dose of intravenous isoprenaline and the type of dysrhythmia associated with their Adams-Stokes attacks. Patients with heart failure with slow ventricular rates and those with angina of effort do not respond to treatment with sympathomimetic drugs.The majority of patients with chronic heart block are elderly, and in view of the complexity of pacing systems, and the need for skilled supervision of paced patients, oral long-acting isoprenaline remains of value in the longterm management of chronic heart block, provided patients are carefully selected for this form of therapy.     

Total Hip Replacement in Inflammatory Hip Disease using the Charnley Prosthesis

The Charnley low-friction arthroplasty was performed on 73 hips in 55 patients with inflammatory joint disease, usually for intolerable pain. Sixty-five of these operations were reviewed at a special clinic or by postal questionnaire; 57 hips were painfree or gave rise to only occasional discomfort, in 58 there was an increased range of movement, and in 46 of the 59 hips assessed clinically, the results were excellent or good. The most serious complication was deep infection, which occurred in 7 operations.
