  • 简介:目的探讨脑室-腹腔分流术后感染保守治疗的效果。方法2001年2月至2014年5月保守治疗16例脑室-腹腔分流术后感染。结果14例脑脊液培养阳性,其中葡萄球菌4例,金黄色葡萄球菌2例,屎球菌、粪球菌、绿脓杆菌、肺炎克雷伯杆菌、隐球菌,产气芽孢杆菌、铜绿假单胞杆菌,不动杆菌各1例。14例未拔除分流管,行抗感染治疗后治愈。2例因为分流管堵塞,拔除分流管,抗感染治疗后痊愈。16例均治愈出院。出院后随访6个月至3年,平均2.5年,均未出现感染,2例重新置管。结论分流术后感染病人通过积极系统抗感染治疗,也能在不拔除分流管的情况下得到治愈。

  • 简介:目的为了研究已婚和未婚女性在性发育、婚姻和个性上的差异。方法采用填写自编问卷和16PF人格测定。结果未婚组的初次作爱时间和人流时间明显早于已婚组,前者人格特征也不同于后者。结论未婚组的年龄与文化较低,外地人口居多,说明未婚组客居他乡,过早参与社会竞争,接触面较杂,人格自律性差,在缺乏家庭关爱和约束的情况下,容易对性行为采取不慎重态度,以致过早作爱。

  • 简介:目的总结单侧Poppen入路显微手术治疗松果体区脑膜瘤的经验。方法回顾性分析2009年3月至2013年7月收治16例松果体区脑膜瘤患者的临床资料,均采用显微手术切除肿瘤,其中经右侧Poppen入路13例、左侧人路3例,术中行脑室引流术处理脑积水4例。结果肿瘤全切除12例,次全切除3例,大部分切除1例。病理学诊断均为脑膜瘤。术后发生同向偏盲2例,Parinaud综合征加重1例,复视加重1例。11例(全切8例,未全切3例)术后随访0.5—4年,全切患者均恢复;未全切患者行放疗,随访肿瘤无进展。结论单侧Poppen入路显微手术适用于大部分中小型松果体区脑膜瘤;对于体积较大或者对侧侵袭较多的脑膜瘤,因显露不完全而难以全切,小脑幕上下或者大脑镰两侧联合入路可作为备选方案。术中或术前行脑室外引流术可增加术中显露程度,提高手术效果。

  • 简介:Labbe's静脉是连接大脑中浅静脉和横窦之间的吻合静脉,又称下吻合静脉,在脑的静脉回流中起着重要的作用[1,2]。重型颅脑损伤合并Labbe's静脉损伤时常可导致严重后果,由于颅脑损伤的复杂性,如同时合并Labbe's静脉损伤使治疗更为困难。本文通过对榆林市北方医院自2006年3月至2012年2月采用手术治疗的36例重型颅脑损伤同时合并Labbe's静脉损伤病例分析,探讨最佳的治疗方案,现报告如下。
