巨舌

目的总结巨舌症的治疗体会。

Objective To summarize the experience in the treatment of macroglossia .

我们报告此小儿病例是从出生就具颈部广泛性淋巴管瘤及巨舌症。

We report a pediatric case that presented at birth with extensive cervical lymphangioma and macroglossia .

巨舌症的系列整复治疗1例

Serial reconstructive therapy of macroglossia

由舌头及颈部区域淋巴管瘤引起的巨舌症是一种罕见先天性疾病，可能导致危及呼吸道的紧急状况。

Macroglossia caused by lymphangiomas of the tongue and those in the cervical area is a rare congenital disease that may lead to an emergent condition of airway compromise .

3例肥大舌、2例巨舌症、2例后缩舌、2例下颌骨牙槽嵴重度萎缩者，粘膜薄易破损，修复后效果不理想。

Unsatisfactory results were present in 3 patients with hypertrophic tongue , 2 patients with macroglossia , 2 patients with retrusive tongue and 2 patients with severe mandibular alveolar atrophy .

方法总结157例牙槽嵴中、重度萎缩的下颌总义齿修复病例，其中正常舌139例，肥大舌11例，巨舌症2例，后缩舌5例。

Methods 157 patients with middle to severe alveolar atrophy restored with complete mandibular denture were retrospectively reviewed . Of the patients , 139 cases had normal tongue , 11 had hypertrophic tongue , 2 had macroglossia and 5 had retrusive tongue .

最终，亚马逊河的其他鱼儿不得不适应这些粗暴的邻居，甚至亚马逊河里最大的鱼——巨骨舌鱼（Arapaimagigas）——都需要两层防护。

As a result , other Amazonian fish have had to adapt to their bullying neighbors , and even the largest fish in the Amazon - the Arapaima gigas or giant arapaima - needs a second layer of protection .

巨骨舌鱼是巨型鱼，成年时的体重近130公斤（300英镑）。

Giant arapaima are massive fish , weighing close to 130 kilograms ( 300 lbs ) at adulthood .

恐怖指数：尺寸并非是巨骨舌鱼成为人们梦魇的唯一原因。

The Scare Factor : Size isn 't the only thing that makes pirarucus the stuff of nightmares .

保护区为许多珍稀濒危动物提供保护，例如巨骨舌鱼、亚马逊海牛、黑凯门鳄和两种淡水豚类。

The site protects key threatened species , including giant arapaima fish , the Amazonian manatee , the black caiman and two species of river dolphin .

但巨骨舌鱼的父母却不是这样：雄鱼看护着巢，而雌鱼则环绕着雄鱼和幼鱼，以防它们被天敌攻击。

But pirarucu parents are different : The father guards the nest , while the mother encircles the father and the eggs to protect them both from predators .

但是据泰迪·罗斯福观察，水虎鱼群不会被体型吓倒，所以巨骨舌鱼为抵挡啮咬而进化出了一副盔甲。

But as Teddy Roosevelt observed , a school of piranhas won 't shy away from size alone , so the giant arapaima evolved armor to withstand the bites .

与《国家地理杂志》图集中展现的其他巨型淡水鱼一样，巨滑舌鱼也是一个保护重点。为了拯救野外的巨型淡水鱼，保护人员需要与时间赛跑。

Like several megafish species in our gallery , the arapaima is the focus of conservation projects , which may be racing against time to save these animals in the wild .
