Tumors in the remains of Ancient Egyptians

A survey of the tumors found in the remains of the Ancient Egyptians shows the occurrence of all the kinds of tumors which would be expected to be preserved in the osteological evidence. On the other hand, findings of tumors in the soft tissues of mummies are only exceptional. The frequency of tumors seems to be lower than in recent years, probably because of the shorter mean duration of life. The pathological lesions preserved in bony structure reveal not only osseous tumors, but also the presence of some tumors of soft tissues eroding the bone. To the survey of cases described in the literature, original findings of a calcified myoma uteri and of a probable epipharyngeal carcinoma are added. Because our knowledge on the history of tumors is not yet comprehensive, much more attention should be devoted to the search for them, starting from the moment of excavation of any cemetery.     

运动区脑膜瘤术后迟发性肌力障碍的影响因素分析

目的:探讨运动区脑膜瘤术后迟发性肌力障碍的影响因素。方法:收集2014年6月-2017年6月于我院进行显微镜下脑膜瘤切除术患者82例并将其分为肌力异常组和肌力正常组。比较两组患者的临床资料,筛选与患者术后发生肌力异常相关的因素,进一步采用Logistic回归分析对迟发性运动障碍的影响因素。结果:本研究中,肌力下降者48例,迟发天数为(3.83±2.98)天;肌力异常组和肌力正常组患者年龄、肿瘤大小、水肿指数、水肿最大径及静脉处理比较差异均存在统计学意义(P0.05);Logistic回归分析结果显示年龄(OR=5.055)、EI指数(OR=2.418)、肿瘤大小(OR=3.432)及静脉处理(OR=8.569)等因素对肌力异常问题存在影响(P0.05)。结论:年龄、肿瘤大小、EI指数及静脉处理是运动区脑膜瘤术后发生迟发性肌力障碍的影响因素。
