简介:目的探讨鼻腔鼻窦鳞状细胞癌侵犯眼眶时保留或剜除眼球对生存率和复发率的影响.方法回顾性分析1989年1月~1998年2月我院收治的43例侵犯眶骨壁和眶骨膜的鼻腔、鼻窦鳞状细胞癌患者的临床和随访资料,其中25例剜除眼球,18例保留眼球.比较患者的3年生存率和复发率.结果随访38~126个月,43例患者中,眼球剜除组3年生存率为56%(14/25),局部复发率为36%(9/25),保留眼球组3年生存率为55.5%(10/18),局部复发率为38.8%(7/18),其中1例为眶内复发.结论经术前或术后放疗,对侵犯眶骨壁和眶骨膜的鼻腔、鼻窦鳞癌,保留眼球组与剜除眼球组相比:有相似的局部复发率和生存率,但保留眼球提高了术后生活质量.
简介:传统的石蜡包埋病理诊断方法由于操作处理所需时间长(一般70~80h),所以不适应现代临床医学快速诊断的要求.
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:探讨裂隙灯眼前段处理系统在眼科临床工作中的各种实际应用状况及操作技巧。方法:应用配置佳能PowerShotA720IS型数码照相机(1200万像素)SLM型裂隙灯显微镜检查眼部病变情况,并在裂隙灯下根据不同的病变位置,在不同色彩、角度下进行照相(放大倍率×10;×16;×20)。结果:采集不同种类疾病具有代表性照片:眼睑及结膜肿物、结膜裂伤、角膜炎、角膜异物、翼状胬肉、前房积血、前房角异物等如图示。结论:裂隙灯眼前段处理系统的应用为临床医疗文献提供直接定性依据,给患者了解自身病情带来便利,照片直观、经济,在眼科领域的临床应用具有广阔的前景。
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。
