ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore 64 row volumetric CT 3D reconstruction in the clinical application of severe craniocerebral injury.Methods 60 patients with craniocerebral injury in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed who accept craniocerebral 64 row volumetric CT 6 to 24 hours after injury. Results All cases got timely diagnosis and treatment, especially for the special parts of brain lesions, ventricle base of skull fractures and pool, and various angles show. Conclusion 64 row volumetric CT reconstruction for the diagnosis of craniocerebral injury shows important significance and may estimate the prognosis in diagnosis, guiding treatment and surgery, reducing misdiagnosis.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The bone marrow stem cell (MSC) transplant treatment have the obvious superiority to tradition graft treatment for bone nonunion, but how to obtain the concentrated and highly effective bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell, as well as the dose-effect relations to fracture healing need further discussions. OBJECTIVE: To observe the curative effect of bone nonunion by using autologous MSC transplant treatment, and to compare with autologous iliac bone graft.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized controlled analysis was performed from January 1999 to June 2005 in the Affiliated Second Hospital of Hebei Northern College.PARTICIPANTS: The admitting 140 patients with humerus and tibia fracture were divided into 2 groups at random, autologous iliac bone graft group and autologous MSC transplant group, with 70 patients in each group. METHODS: Under aseptic condition, autologous MSC transplant group received puncture through posterior superior iliac spine, extracting bone marrow 10-20 mL from different spots, separating MSC using the density gradient centrifugation method, and counting as 4×10~9 nucleated cells/mL under the microscope for later use. In the autologous iliac bone graft group, bone fracture end was implanted with the suitable amount of iliac bone, while autologous MSC transplant group with the mixture of decalcified bone matrix and MSC, followed by suture. After the transplantation, external fixation may assist for 4-6 weeks according to the fixed degree of internal fixation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Bone callus formation and pain conditions in 2 groups at different time points after transplantation. ② Comparison of bone healing time between 2 groups. ③ Adverse events and side effects.RESULTS: According to intention-treatment analysis, experimental adopted 140 patients of humerus and tibia fractures, who all entered the final analysis. ① Bone callus formation and pain at different time points post-surgery: At 1 month after transplantation, bone callus formation in the fracture end was not obvious in autogenous iliac bone graft group, and could be seen in autologous MSC transplant group, both groups of fractures exhibited tenderness. At 2 months after transplantation, bone callus formation was observed in autogenous iliac bone graft group, fracture tenderness was relieved compared with the previous condition; in autologous MSC transplant group, a large number of bone callus formed, fracture tenderness was not obvious. At 3 months after transplantation, there were a large number of bone callus formations in autogenous iliac bone graft group, with slight fracture tenderness; in the autologous MSC transplant group, continuous bone callus formation appeared, without fracture tenderness. ② Bone healing time: The average healing time of autologous MSC transplant group was significantly shorter than autogenous iliac bone graft group [(5.5±1.5), (8.0±2.0) months, P < 0.05]. ③ Adverse events and side effects: Except 4 patients had iliac bone pain, all patients during the treatment had no infection and other complications, there were no re-fracture occurred at the follow-up of 8 months.CONCLUSION: The autologous MSC transplant treatment of exhibits a short duration and good effect for bone non-union, has obvious advantages over traditional bone graft.
ABSTRACT
@# Objective To explore the clinical features and risk factors causing recurrent cerebral hemorrhage, as well as effective prevention and control measures.Methods The data of 25 patients with recurrent cerebral hemorrhage were analyzed retrospectively in order to investigate the clinical characteristics, pathogenesis and prevention and control measures.Results 25 patients had a total of 27 times recurrence and 78 per cent of them were within two years. Recurrent types were mainly basal nuclei-basal nuclei type, followed by the cerebral lobe-cerebral lobe type, and the recurrence more occurred in the contralateral hemisphere. Re-bleeding risk factors included complications, poor prognosis. For bleeding aneurysm, it was a major measure of effectively controlling bleeding recurrence to fine out the cause of disease in time.Conclusion Actively looking for major risk factor causing cerebral hemorrhage is the key of effectively controlling recurrence of cerebral hemorrhage.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To assess the application of 64-row volumetric CT three dimensional image formation to shape the titanium mesh for the skull neoplasty. Methods 40 cases were divided into the shaping before operation group (21 cases), in which the titanium meshes were shaped with the data from 64-row volumetric CT skull three dimensional image formation before operation; and the shaping during operation group (19 cases), in which the titanium meshes were shaped approximately before and exactly during operation. The time of shaping, anaesthesia and the whole operating were compared, and the qualities of the skull plasty were assessed. Results All the skull repaired satisfactorily. The time of shaping, anaesthesia and the whole operating was shorter in shaping before operation group than in shaping during operation group (P<0.05). No complication was observed. Conclusion Application of 64-row volumetric CT three dimensional image formation in the skull neoplasty may reduce the surgery time and risk.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the clinical effect of percutaneous autogenous bone marrow stem cell transplant on bone nonunion. Methods 140 patient with bones nonunion were divided into the autogenous bone transplants (A) group and the autogenous bone marrow stem cell transplant (B) group, with 70 cases in each group. They were assessed 2 and 5 months after operation. Results A few calluses could be observed at the end of fracture in 42 cases in group A 2 months after operation, and massive callus formation could be observed in 46 cases 5 months after operation. However, massive callus formation could be observed in 60 cases in group B 2 months after operation, and continual callus formation could be observed in 45 cases 5 months after operation. The mean healing time was (8.4±1.8) months in group A, and (6.5±2.0) months in group B (P<0.05). No side-effects have been observed during the treatment. Conclusion The percutaneous autogenous bone marrow stem cell transplant is more effective on bone nonunion compared with the traditional treatment.
