【摘要】 目的 探讨颅脑损伤(BI)死亡的法医病理学特点,以及继发性脑干损伤、并发症的发生与死亡之间的因果关系。方法 从性别、年龄、致伤方式、损伤类型、生存时间、死亡原因等方面,对四川大学华西法医学鉴定中心1998年1月-2008年12月127例BI死亡尸检案例进行回顾性统计研究分析。结果 127例法医病理学检案中,原发性BI死亡51例(402%),继发性脑干损伤死亡61例(480%),并发症死亡15例(118%),其中伤后12 h内死亡者直接死因均为严重原发性脑损伤,存活12 h～1周者直接死因以继发性脑干损伤居多,生存时间超过1周者约半数死于并发症。结论 在BI案例的死亡原因确定时,应在全面系统的病理学检验基础上,结合案情及临床资料进行综合分析。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the characteristics of forensic pathology in traumatic brain injury and the relationships between secondary brainstem damage, complications and the causes of death. Methods 127 cases were reviewed from gender, age, manner of injury, survival time and the direct causes of death from January 1998 to December 2008. Results Of the 127 cases, the key direct cause of death was secondary brainstem damage, followed by severe primarily brain injury and complications. For those who died within 12 hours after injury, the direct cause was severe primarily brain injury; for those who survived between 12 hours to one week, secondary brainstem damage was in the majority of the causes and for those who survive more than one week time, complication was an important cause. Conclusion In the cases of traumatic brain injury, we should take comprehensive and systematic examination of forensic pathology, and refer to clinical data at the same time to determine the direct cause of death.
ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of the Salter innominate osteotomy on the acetabular morphology and direction and the relationship between them in children with developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) by three-dimensional CT. MethodsBetween January 2013 and January 2015, 51 patients with unilateral DDH were treated. All patients were females with an average age of 2 years and 5 months (range, one year and 6 months to 5 years). All the patients underwent open reduction of the hip, Salter innominate osteotomy, proximal femoral osteotomy, and hip cast immobilization for treatment. The data of three-dimensional CT before surgery and at 1 week after surgery were measured and collected as follows:the anterior acetabular index (AAI), posterior acetabular index (PAI), axial acetabular index (AxAI), acetabular anteversion angle (AAA) of the acetabulum, and the distances of the forward, outward, and lateral rotation of the distal osteotomy fragments. The differences of AAI, PAI, AxAI, AAA between before and after surgeries were compared and the difference values of the data with significant difference results were calculated. The relationship between the difference values and the distances of three different rotation directions before and after surgeries were tested by Spearman correlation analysis. ResultsThere were significant differences in the AAI, PAI, and AAA between before and after surgery (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found in the AxAI between before and after surgery (t=0.878, P=0.384). The difference values of AAI, PAI, and AAA were (4.518±4.601), (4.219±6.660), and (3.919±4.389)° respectively. The distances of the outward, lateral, and forward rotation of the distal osteotomy fragments after surgery were (0.420±0.339), (2.440±0.230), and (0.421±0.311) cm. There was a significant correlation between the three different rotation directions and AAI difference (P<0.05), especialy the outward rotation (r=0.981). There was a correlation between the outward, forward rotation and PAI, AAI differences (P<0.05), and no significant correlation between the lateral rotation and PAI, AAA was found (P>0.05). There was a significant correlation between the forward rotation and AAA difference (r=0.841). ConclusionSalter innominate osteotomy can increase the curvature of the anterior wall of the acetabulum in DDH, but reduce the curvature of the rear wall. At the same time, it can also change the direction of the acetabulum, significantly decrease the acetabular anteversion, but it can not change the depth of the acetabulum. The main factors of the curvature change after Salter innominate osteotomy of DDH is attributable to outward rotation, followed by forward rotation, and the main factor of the acetabular direction change is attributable to forward rotation.
