简介:目的总结45例60岁以上老年患者行乙状窦后进路桥小脑角手术的围手术期治疗经验.方法对我科1991年1月至2000年1月行该手术治疗的45例老年患者进行回顾性分析.其中三叉神经痛37例;舌咽神经痛3例;半面痉挛4例;桥小脑角胆脂瘤1例.术前检查异常的有:心电图12例,占26.67%;胸部X线6例,占13.3%;颅脑CT2例,占4.44%,高血压病9例,占20%;糖尿病5例,占11.1%;肝功能异常3例,占6.67%;白细胞低2例,占4.44%;血小板减少2例,占4.44%.结果所有患者均顺利完成手术,术后无严重并发症,均治愈出院,随访2~9年,症状无复发.结论老年患者虽然体质较弱,检查结果异常多,但只要正确处理围手术期的异常,提高手术技巧,老年患者完全能够耐受此类手术并顺利康复.
简介:目的探讨超声联合人工晶体植入术治疗老年性白内障的临床疗效。方法选取2015年6月至2016年6月我院眼科收治的老年白内障患者83例作为研究对象。所有患者均接受超声乳化联合人工晶体植入术治疗,观察83例白内障患者治疗效果及治疗前后视力改善以及并发症发生情况。结果83例患者均成功接受超声乳化联合人工晶体植入术治疗,围手术期未发生后囊膜破裂、玻璃体脱出、角膜失代偿、视网膜脱落等严重并发症,术后轻度炎症2例,轻度角膜水肿1例,经对症治疗后痊愈;患者治疗后矫正视力、前房深度、房角开放程度均较治疗前明显改善,P〈0.05,具有统计学意义。结论采用超声乳化联合人工晶体植入术治疗老年白内障疗效显著,改善患者视力情况,并且手术安全性较高,具有临床应用及推广价值。
简介:目的:探讨中老年糖尿病视网膜病变(diabeticretinopathy,DR)患者DR严重程度与血清HbA1c、TNF-α水平的相关性。方法:选取200例糖尿病患者,其中单纯糖尿病患者(DM组)60例,糖尿病伴非增殖期视网膜病变组(NPDR组)80例和糖尿病伴增殖期视网膜病变组(PDR组)60例,并选取80例健康者作为正常对照组(NC组)。观察患者的体检指标,并检测患者的空腹血糖(fastingplasmaglucose,FPG)、餐后2h血糖(2hPG)、血脂、血清糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、血清肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumornecrosisfactor,TNF-α)及泪液TNF-α。结果:(1)四组受试者的体质量指数(bodymassindex,BMI)、FPG、2hPG、总胆固醇(totalcholesterol,TC)、甘油三酯(trilycerides,TG)、高密度脂蛋白(highdensitylipoprotein,HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白(low-densitylipoprotein,LDL-C)等指标比较,差异均具有统计学意义(F=37.211、395.421、42.515、7.385、121.764、121.568、34.567,均P<0.05)。DM、NPDR、PDR三组患者的BMI、FPG、2hPG、TC、TG、HDL-C、LDL-C等指标水平均高于NC组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);NPDR组患者的BMI、FPG、2hPG、TC、TG、HDL-C、LDL-C等指标水平均高于PDR组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。(2)四组受试者血清TNF-α、泪液TNF-α及血清HbA1c水平比较,差异均具有统计学意义(F=337.256、215.471、40.522,均P<0.05);DM、NPDR、PDR三组患者的血清TNF-α、泪液TNF-α和血清HbA1c水平均高于NC组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);NPDR、PDR两组患者的血清TNF-α、泪液TNF-α和血清HbA1c水平均高于DM组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);PDR组患者的血清TNF-α、泪液TNF-α及血清HbA1c水平均高于NPDR组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。(3)泪液TNF-α与血清TNF-α呈正相关(r=0.289,P<0.01);泪液TNF-α与血清HbA1c呈正相关(r=0.375,P<0.01)。结论:中老年DR患者泪液TNF-α水平高于正常人,且随着视网膜病变的加重,泪液TNF-α水平升高。泪液TNF-α与血清TNF-α、HbA1c呈正相关。
