頸部淋巴結(jié)的分區(qū)

1991年, 美國耳鼻咽喉頭頸外科基金學(xué)院及美國頭頸外科學(xué)會 (The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation, Inc. and The American Society for Head and Neck Surgery)制定了頸部淋巴結(jié)分區(qū)方案。

包括頦下區(qū)及頜下區(qū)淋巴結(jié)。

分布著大約 1～14 枚淋巴結(jié),收納頦、唇、頰、口底部、舌前、腭、舌下腺和頜下腺的淋巴液。

Ⅰ區(qū)以二腹肌為界分兩部分, 內(nèi)下方為ⅠA 區(qū),外上方為ⅠB區(qū)。

為頸內(nèi)靜脈淋巴結(jié)上區(qū), 即二腹肌下, 相當(dāng)于顱底至舌骨水平, 前界為胸骨舌骨肌側(cè)緣, 后界為胸鎖乳突肌后緣。

該區(qū)淋巴結(jié)常是喉癌轉(zhuǎn)移首發(fā)部位, 在臨床中具有重要的參考價值。

Ⅱ區(qū)以副神經(jīng)為界分兩部分,其前下方為ⅡA區(qū),后上方為ⅡB 區(qū)。

為頸內(nèi)靜脈淋巴結(jié)中區(qū)

從舌骨水平至肩胛舌骨肌與頸內(nèi)靜脈交叉處,前后界與Ⅱ區(qū)相同。

為頸內(nèi)靜脈淋巴結(jié)下區(qū)。從肩胛舌骨肌到鎖骨上。前后界與Ⅱ區(qū)同,位于肩胛舌骨肌、鎖骨和胸鎖乳突肌側(cè)緣所圍成的區(qū)域。

Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ區(qū)共同構(gòu)成頸內(nèi)靜脈淋巴結(jié)鏈 ,收納腮腺、頜下、頦下、咽后壁及頸前淋巴結(jié)的淋巴液,因此是頸廓清術(shù)中的重點區(qū)域。

包括枕后三角區(qū)淋巴結(jié)或稱副神經(jīng)淋巴鏈及鎖骨上淋巴結(jié)。后界為斜方肌前緣 , 前界為胸鎖乳突肌后緣 ,下界為鎖骨。

Ⅴ區(qū)以肩胛舌骨肌下腹為界,上方為Ⅴ A區(qū) ,下方為Ⅴ B 區(qū)。鎖骨上淋巴結(jié)即屬于Ⅴ B 區(qū)。

為內(nèi)臟周圍淋巴結(jié)(juxta visceral nodes),或稱前區(qū)(anterior  compartment)。包括環(huán)甲膜淋巴結(jié)、氣管周圍(喉返神經(jīng))淋巴結(jié)、甲狀腺周圍淋巴結(jié),約6～16枚,有人把咽后淋巴結(jié)也歸屬這一區(qū)。

此區(qū)兩側(cè)界為頸總動脈和頸內(nèi)靜脈,上界為舌骨, 下界為胸骨上窩。其中喉前淋巴結(jié)位于環(huán)甲膜部,收容聲門下區(qū)淋巴液,在臨床中具有重要意義。

美國癌癥聯(lián)合委員會(American Joint Committee on Cancer ,AJCC)在公布 TNM分期時,又補充第7 個分區(qū),即上縱隔淋巴結(jié),兩側(cè)界為頸總動脈,上界為胸骨上窩,下界為主動脈弓水平。

耳屎與健康

在我們的耳朵中經(jīng)常能掏出一種淡**的東西，它俗稱耳屎（Earwax），又稱耳垢、耳蟬或耳刺。關(guān)于耳屎，坊間流傳著千奇百怪的說法，如“耳屎有毒”、“吃了耳屎會變成啞巴”、“耳屎可止痛”、“耳屎可治療嘴唇干裂”、“耳屎越掏越聾”、“耳屎特別臟，要及時清理”等。然而，這些說法到底有沒有科學(xué)依據(jù)呢？本文將與您一起撥開云霧見月明，認(rèn)識耳屎的真實面目。

耳屎的學(xué)名叫耵聹（Cerumen）。為了認(rèn)識它，不妨先了解一下人耳的結(jié)構(gòu)。人耳分為外耳、中耳和內(nèi)耳三部分。外耳包括耳廓和外耳道，在外耳道外三分之一軟骨部皮膚中具有一種變型（變異）的汗腺，叫耵聹腺。它能分泌一種淡**、黏稠的物質(zhì)，該分泌物就是耳屎的原形。它是一種成分復(fù)雜的混合物，主要包括膽固醇、甘油三酯、醇類以及一種叫做角鯊烯（Squalene）的油性物質(zhì)，還含有少量具有特殊作用的物質(zhì)如抗菌肽（抑制細(xì)菌生長）、溶菌酶（破壞細(xì)菌細(xì)胞壁）等。這些物質(zhì)與外耳道皮膚死細(xì)胞、進(jìn)入外耳道的灰塵和細(xì)菌等混合、凝聚在一起，便形成了我們?nèi)粘Ｒ姷降亩骸?/p>

由于基因差異，人類中出現(xiàn)了差別的耵聹腺細(xì)胞，產(chǎn)生了濕型和干型兩種不同的耳屎，濕型為顯性性狀，干型為隱性性狀。濕型耳屎俗稱“油耳”，含有更多的脂肪酸類物質(zhì)，呈粘性蠟狀；干型耳屎遇空氣易干燥，呈薄片狀，可成片脫落。大部分非洲人、歐洲人、北美人的耳屎是濕型的，所以耳屎在英文中叫Earwax（耳蠟），而不是 Earshit（耳屎）。絕大部分東亞人（包括中日韓人）的耳屎都是干型的。在中國，大多數(shù)人的耳屎是干型，濕型耳屎者所占的比例南北略有差異，北方約10%，南方約18%。此外，耵聹腺細(xì)胞與大汗腺細(xì)胞中負(fù)責(zé)分泌脂肪酸類物質(zhì)的轉(zhuǎn)運蛋白是由人體16號染色體上的同一基因決定的，通常濕型耳屎者更易出汗，也更易患狐臭。

通過分析耳屎的來源和成分得知，無論是干型耳屎還是濕型耳屎，其中只含有對細(xì)菌“有毒”的物質(zhì)，并不含對人體有毒的物質(zhì)，也沒有致啞的物質(zhì)，且至今尚無關(guān)于“因誤食耳屎導(dǎo)致中毒或變啞”的報道。由此看來“耳屎有毒”、“吃了耳屎會變成啞巴”的說法并不可靠，即使誤食了耳屎，也不必驚慌。

過去，西方人曾用耳屎作為潤唇膏或者治療刺傷的藥膏。在1832年版的《美國節(jié)儉主婦》（American Frugal Housewife）一書就記載耳屎是釘扎傷或針刺傷的最好止痛藥，還推薦用耳屎治療嘴唇干裂。坊間流傳的“耳屎可止痛”、“耳屎可治療嘴唇干裂”的說法，可能由此而來。但耳屎中尚未發(fā)現(xiàn)有明顯止痛作用的成分，故“耳屎可止痛”的說法仍需進(jìn)一步研究。耳屎中含有的膽固醇、甘油三酯等油性物質(zhì)的確可滋潤干燥的嘴唇，對緩解嘴唇干裂有一定的作用。然而，如前所述，耳屎成型過程中混雜了細(xì)菌，因此我們不提倡用其潤唇。

耳屎呈酸性，具有抑菌作用；其粘性性狀還具有保護外耳道皮膚和粘附外來物質(zhì)（如灰塵、小飛蟲等）的作用；此外，它還可清潔、潤滑外耳道。如果把耳屎清理得太干凈，就會失去天然的保護，破壞耳道內(nèi)環(huán)境。耳屎清理干凈后，因外耳道干燥，人有癢感，便反射性掏耳朵，且很容易形成習(xí)慣。美國耳鼻喉學(xué)會（American Academy of Otolaryngology）指出，掏耳朵這個習(xí)慣是多余的、不健康的。掏耳朵可刺激耵聹腺分泌更多的耳屎，還可損傷外耳道表皮，甚至造成鼓膜穿孔。多數(shù)情況下，外耳道是可以自凈的。首先，耳道內(nèi)的表皮細(xì)胞十分獨特，它們可以遷移（Migration），當(dāng)耳道內(nèi)細(xì)胞緩慢向外運動時，可將耳屎“順道”帶出；其次，我們?nèi)粘５木捉?、張口等下頜運動也可協(xié)助耳屎向外排出。

耳屎無須特別清理，更沒必要向深處掏挖，人體外耳道內(nèi)三分之二部分不分泌耳屎，每天只需清洗耳廓即可。此外，很多人誤以為棉棒是較佳的潔耳工具，其實棉棒只會將大部分耳屎推向耳道深處，形成崁塞。

若耳屎不能正常排出，在外耳道內(nèi)逐漸凝聚成團，阻塞外耳道，稱為耵聹栓塞（Cerumen impaction），俗稱鐵耳屎。耳屎分泌過多、外耳道皮膚受刺激，挖耳頻繁以及外耳道狹窄或異物存留等，均與鐵耳屎的形成有關(guān)。

鐵耳屎常呈黑色或棕色硬塊，觸之不動。耵聹栓塞的程度及部位不同，癥狀有異。外耳道未完全阻塞者，多無癥狀。外耳道完全阻塞時，常出現(xiàn)不同程度的聽力減退、耳痛、耳鳴、眩暈等；有時因耵聹栓塞刺激外耳道后壁的迷走神經(jīng)而產(chǎn)生反射性咳嗽。持續(xù)刺激外耳道可誘發(fā)外耳道皮膚糜爛、腫脹、肉芽形成等，表現(xiàn)為耳部疼痛或悶脹感。

耵聹栓塞者不可盲目自行掏挖。因為此時耳屎堅硬如石，強行挖取可能傷及外耳道皮膚甚至損傷鼓膜，并易引起感染。不恰當(dāng)?shù)耐诙?，會把耳屎推向深部，更難處理。發(fā)生外耳道耵聹栓塞者，應(yīng)當(dāng)請耳鼻喉科醫(yī)生進(jìn)行專業(yè)檢查和處理。

關(guān)于耳屎尚有許多奧秘有待探索，如美國莫奈爾化學(xué)感官中心研究了一種叫做槭糖尿病（Maple syrup urine， MSUD）的罕見遺傳病，發(fā)現(xiàn)這種病可以很容易地通過耳屎的氣味進(jìn)行診斷。與基因測試相比，挖取耳屎作為檢驗樣本，顯然簡單和便宜得多。
