简介:目的考察3-6岁听障儿童语言功能发展的特点。方法利用《听障儿童语言功能评估》对202例3-6岁听障儿童进行跟踪评估,分别在基线期、6个月后、12个月后进行测试;对3次评估结果进行比较,分析不同年龄组之间的差异,并将听障儿童评估分数与健听儿童参考值对比。结果听障儿童的各项语言功能随时间推移极显著提高(P=0.000〈0.01);听障儿童年龄越大,语言功能越强,年龄组之间存在显著差异(P〈0.05);所有年龄段听障儿童基线评估得分均低于3岁健听儿童期望值,康复12个月后,3、4岁听障儿童达到同龄健听儿童期望值,5、6岁听障儿童和同龄健听儿童仍有差距。结论听障儿童的语言功能和健听儿童存在差距,但经过康复可有较大提升,且干预年龄越小,提升速度越快。

简介:目的总结人工耳蜗植入前中耳炎性病变,以及植入后中耳、内耳感染的治疗经验.方法术前2例分泌性中耳炎伴乳突粘膜病变和1例慢性中耳炎选择一期手术;1例中耳乳突炎,1例胆脂瘤行分期手术.5例患者耳后切口经面神经隐窝入路植入电极,1例乳突根治术后术中借卵圆窗和鼓岬定位耳蜗钻孔部位植入电极,术中均进行电极阻抗测试和听神经遥测反应测试.结果1例术后中耳炎伴迷路炎经保守治疗痊愈.所有患者植入耳蜗工作正常,随访10-40月未见与中耳炎相关的并发症.结论极重度感音神经性聋伴分泌性中耳炎患者,原则上应分期手术;合并中耳乳突炎者,也应分期手术,完壁式和经典式乳突根治,根据病情均可选用.但中耳炎静止期鼓膜小穿孔者,可考虑一期手术.
简介:摘要目的通过观察超顺磁性壳聚糖质粒(pDsVEGF165Red1-N1)明胶微球(SPCPGM)与磷酸钙骨水泥的复合支架在外加振荡磁场下修复颅骨缺损的作用,探讨其成骨效果。方法将50只新西兰大白兔随机分为5组,并制成颅内颅骨缺损模型,分别植入超顺磁性壳聚糖质粒明胶微球(SPCPGM-VEGF165)/多孔磷酸钙骨水泥(CPC)复合支架、超顺磁性壳聚糖明胶微球((SPCPG)/多孔磷酸钙骨水泥(CPC)复合支架、多孔磷酸妈骨水泥(CPC)支架,经振荡磁场处理。于术后2周、4周、8周、12周时通过大体、X线检测、组织切片观察血管化及成骨情况,图像分析系统分析、求积仪测量对骨缺损处成骨情况进行测定,评估各组成骨的情况。结果在振荡磁场下超顺磁性壳聚糖质粒明胶微球(SPCPGM-VEGF165)/多孔磷酸钙骨水泥(CPC)复合支架组支架开始降解吸收速度、血管化、成骨作用优于对照组。结论在振荡磁场下超顺磁性壳聚糖质粒明胶控释微球局部控释增加了持续作用时间,同时促进了质粒VEGF165细胞转染,从而促进新生骨血管化及成骨的作用,可用于颅骨缺损修复。
