Successful intrauterine shunting of a sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) causing fetal bladder obstruction

We report a case of a sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) diagnosed at 22 weeks with a substantial intrapelvic cystic extension leading to bladder outlet obstruction and hydronephrosis at 27 weeks. Prenatal percutaneous shunting of the cystic teratoma was performed at 28 weeks to avoid prolonged fetal pelvic compression by the tumour that could have adverse effects by stretching the pelvic plexus and sacral nerves. Urinary dilatation resolved completely after shunting and a 3880 g baby girl was delivered at 39 weeks. The potential benefits of in utero shunting to avoid urological complications of SCTs with intrapelvic extension are discussed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Invasive assessment of fetal renal abnormalities: urinalysis,fetal blood sampling and biopsy

There are a number of potential biochemcial markers that may have some role in predicting renal function postnatally. These include urinary sodium, calcium and β2‒microglobulin. The latter may also be measured in fetal serum. However, the accuracy of these parameters at a point in time is far from perfect as urinary tract obstruction is a progressive disease which may be best defined by repeated observations throughout pregnancy.

某集气站分离器积液包内防腐技术研究

目的提高分离器积液包的内防腐性能。方法首先通过实验对THF8110-I耐湿热重防腐涂料面漆及带锈底漆所构成的防腐涂层进行了外观、耐磨性、硬度、附着力、耐盐雾、耐腐蚀方面的性能检测,以确定其是否符合现场积液包内防腐的需要。然后通过相关规范设计计算所需牺牲阳极的质量及数量,在此基础上借助BEASY软件模拟,得到不同阳极材料在不同布置方式下积液包内壁的电位分布情况,进行材料优选,并分析阳极布置方式对阴极保护效果的影响。最后,模拟得到阳极在焊接和螺栓连接两种不同固定方式下积液包内壁的电位分布情况,以选择合适的固定方式,螺栓连接时,改变阳极与积液包底端的距离,以确定合适的距离。结果 THF8110-I耐湿热重防腐涂料面漆及带锈底漆所构成的防腐涂层各方面性能均达到标准要求,同种布局方式下,铝阳极对积液包形成的保护电位总是比锌阳极更负,而阳极材料相同时,五种布置方式下积液包内壁的电位范围之差不超过1 mV。与焊接相比,螺栓连接且阳极距离积液包底端为150mm时,积液包内壁的电位分布最为均匀。结论采用防腐涂层结合牺牲阳极保护的方式提高了积液包内壁的防腐能力。其中,防腐涂层由THF8110-I耐湿热重防腐涂料面漆及带锈底漆所构成,牺牲阳极保护方案中,采取四支铝阳极在积液包底端均布的方式阴极保护效果最好,且阳极与积液包的固定方式选择螺栓连接,阳极与积液包底端的距离为150 mm。
