Objective To analyze the HEV genetic structure and nucleotide homology isolated from sporadic acute hepatitis E in Changchun.Methods HEV RNA was detected with reverse transcription nested polymerase(RT-nPCR) and sequenced by automatic sequenator.Results The length of acquisitive HEV-CCC220 was 7193 bp coding 2397 amino acid.The gene of HEV-CCC220 was composed of 5'-UTR(nt 1-9),3'UTR(nt 7152-7193) and three open reading frames(ORFs).Its homology with HEV IV was obviously higher than that with HEV(I-III.) The whole genome sequence nucleotide homology was 83.2%-85.0%,85.0%-93.9% and 80.6%-86.7% as compared with 300nt and 98nt partial nucleotide sequence of ORF2.The homology comparison of various areas and various lengths of nucleotide was different.Conclusion The HEV-ccc220,which sporadically happened in Changchun,is the subtype IV of HEV.The 300nt of ORF2 can replace the whole gene order to perform genotype analysis of HEV.

Objective To investigate the main risk factors and protective factors of malignant tumors in Taian City. Methods Esophagus, lung, stomach, liver Malignancies in Taian City, 1:1 matched case-control study, application conditions of the relevant factors, logistic regression univariate and multivariate analysis were done. Results For esophageal and gastric cancer, the common risk factors were eating hot, dry,hard, deep fried foods, and also animal food, heavy drinking, family history of cancer, the staple food pancake with esophageal cancer-related. For lung cancer, heavy smokers, living in and around the sources of pollution,may increase the probability of illness, hepatitis B virus infection, chronic liver disease history, unstable emotion, eating and drinking are the major risk factors for liver cancer. Tea on the four kinds of malignant tumors often have a protective effect. Raw garlic, fruits and vegetables, dairy soy foods can prevent esophageal cancer and gastric cancer. Conclusion To promote proper exercise, stop and smoking alcohol drinking,psychological balance, good dietary habits, can effectively prevent the occurrence of malignant tumors.

Objective To investigate the effect of different bone cement volume injected after vertebroplasty on stress distribution of the upper and lower endplates of the injured vertebra in the flexion and extension positions by finite element analysis.Methods Two patients with osteoporotic compression fractures of L2 vertebral body were chosen.Bone cement volumes of 25％ and 50％ were respectively injected into the fractured vertebral body bilaterally.Pre-and post-operative finite element models of fractured and adjacent vertebral bodies were developed after extracting the CT data.Stress changes at L2 superior-and inferior-vertebral endplates were observed in the vertical,flexion,and extension loading.Results Stress at the upper and lower endplates of the fractured vertebra increased after bone cement injection and more increase was observed in 50％ bone cement group than in 25％ bone cement group.In the neutral position,the stress mainly concentrated at posterior vertebral body,with stress of the upper endplate improving from 0.91 × 106 N · mm to 0.93 × 106 N · mm and stress of the lower endplate from 0.98 × 106 N ·mm to 1.03 × 106 N · mm.In the anterior flexion,the stress mainly concentrated at anterior vertebral body,with stress of the upper endplate improving from 4.44 × 106 N · mm to 5.55 × 106 N · mm.In the posterior extension,the stress mainly concentrated at medial vertebral body,with stress of the upper endplate improving from 21.95 × 106 N · mm to 22.10 × 106 N · mm and stress of the lower endplate from 30.60 ×106 N · mm to 30.88 × 106 N · mm.The finite element model revealed stress at the upper and lower endplates was higher in the anterior flexion and posterior extension than in the neutral position,while in the anterior flexion the stress was comparatively higher.Conclusions A small amount of implanted bone cement act no evident effect on stress distribution of the upper and lower vertebral endplates.However,the stress changes are significant as cement volume reached up to 50％,especially in the flexion position,as may suggest an enhanced risk of adjacent intervertebral disc degeneration and adjacent vertebral body fractures.

Objective To compare the efficacy of KumaFix posterior spinal screw/rod system (KumaFix system) and posterior U-shape screw/rod system for treatment of thoracolumbar vertebral body fractures.Methods A total of 131 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral body fractures treated from January 2011 to July 2011 were prospectively analyzed.All patients showed thoracolumbar injury classification and severity score (TLICS) more than 5 points and spinal load-sharing classification (LSC) score of 4-6.The patients were assigned to two groups according to the coin toss method:group A (n =72,treated with reduction and fixation with KumaFix system in combination with transpedicular bone grafting of fractured vertebrae) and group B (n =59,submitted to posterior reduction and fixation with U-shaped screw/rod system in combination with transpedicular bone grafting of fractured vertebrae).In group A,there were 41 male and 31 female patients at age of (41.2 ± 4.9) years (range,20-53 years).In group B,there were 33 male and 26 female patients at age of(40.6 ± 4.5)years (range,21-51 years).The two groups were analyzed and compared in aspects of operation time,blood loss,anterior vertebral height ratio,middle vertebral height ratio,posterior vertebral height ratio,kyphosis angle,Oswestry disability index (ODI) and incidence of adjacent segment degeneration.Results All patients were followed up for mean 5.3 years (range,5.1-5.8 years).Operation time and blood loss were (72.5 ±21.8)rain and (320.6 ±90.0)ml in group A,less than (104.3 ±20.7)min and (421.0 ± 84.5) ml in group B (P ＜ 0.05).Both groups achieved obvious improvements in anterior vertebral height ratio,middle vertebral height ratio,posterior vertebral height ratio and kyphosis angle after operation(P ＜ 0.05).At the last follow-up,the middle vertebral height ratio was (92.0 ± 2.8) ％ in group A,better than (84.1 ± 5.1) ％ in group B (P ＜ 0.05).Both groups showed improvement in ODI after operation (P ＜ 0.05).At the last follow-up,ODI and incidence of adjacent segment degeneration were 11.9 ± 7.1 and 0 in group A,decreased compared to 20.9 ± 6.7 and 12％ in group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions For thoracolumbar vertebral body fractures,the KumaFix system has better reduction effect than U-shape screw/rod system.Meanwhile,the KumaFix system can avoid negative effect.

Bone cement leakage is the most common complication in the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures by percutaneous vertebroplasty.The incidence rates of the literatures are different,with the range from 5％ to 80％.There are several different classifications of cement leakage;however there is no uniform classification standard.The classification criteria' s are based on anatomical location and leakage way.The independent risk factors of cement leakage are fracture semiquantitative severity grade and the viscosity of bone cement.The incidence rate of cement leakage increases with high fracture semiquantitative severity grade and low bone cement viscosity.For cortical leakage,the presence of cortical disruption and intravertebral cleft on MRI were identified as additional strong risk factors.The majority of bone cement leakage does not produce clinical symptoms.But some of the patients suffered from new adjacent osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures,neurologic deficits,pulmonary cement emboli,cardiac perforation,and even death.Therefore,we should strictly grasp the indications,select appropriate filling materials,and improve surgical techniques to avoid the occurrence of bone cement leakage.

Objective To evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of the thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) severity score system (TLOFS),so as to provide basis for clinical decision-making.Methods A total of 320 cases of thoracolumbar OVCF hospitalized between January 2014 and June 2015 were scored by TLOFS.There were 107 male and 213 female patients,aged 52-90 years (mean,63.78 years).All cases presented with a chief complaint of low back pain.Thirty-nine cases (TLOFS ≤3 in 21 cases,TLOFS =4 in 17 cases) were treated non-operatively,while 259 cases (TLOFS =4 in 23 cases,TLOFS ≥ 5 in 259 cases) were treated surgically.Pain was evaluated by the visual analogue scale (VAS).Reliability,reproducibility and content validity of the TLOFS were analyzed.Results Cronbach' sα coefficients of all TLOFS subgroups including evaluation of morphological changes,MRI,bone mineral density,clinical situation and therapy recommendation and total score evaluation were within the range of higher to high reliability (0.76-0.94).Kappa coefficients of all TLOFS subgroups were within the range of higher to high reproducibility (0.84-0.95).Mean content validity of all TLOFS subgroups was 0.916.VAS improved from preoperative(7.8 ± 2.1) to (1.3 ±0.7) at the final follow-up.Rates of correct diagnosis,sensitivity and specificity were 95.7％,87.6％ and 96.5％ respectively.Conclusion TLOFS exhibits good reliability and reproducibility,easy operation,and accurate and comprehensive evaluation,which is effective in guiding the clinical decision making in treatment of thoracolumbar OVCF.

Objective To compare and analyze the curative effects of mediopatellar plica syndrome under different therapies. Methods 147 patients with mediopatellar plica syndrome were enrolled in the study from January 2011 to January 2015 and divided into three groups refer to treatment: Group A, B and C. Each group was also divided in the youth group and the mid-age group. Different treatments were used in the three groups. Group A: drug therapy and physicotherapeutics; Group B: intraarticular injection regularly; Group C: arthroscopic surgical treatment. All patient conditions were assessed with Lysholm score. Results All patients received an average of 11 (9 ~ 13) months follow-up. No blood-vessel and nerve injured and infection occurred. Before receiving treatment, difference in Lysholm score of the three groups showed no statistical difference (F = 0.08, P = 0.926); after treatment, difference revealed significant difference (F = 15.48, P = 0.001). Compared with those before operation and after operation among the three groups, the Lysholm score was improved (tA = 3.43, tB = 6.74, tC = 7.99, P = 0.001). In the rangeability of Lysholm score, the Group C > B > A (F = 66.43, tAB = 5.97, tAC = 11.52, tBC = 5.55, P = 0.001);The general youth group > the general mid-age (t = 7.91, P = 0.001). Conclusion The best therapeutic method for mediopatellar plica syndrome is the arthroscopy. As for mid-age patients, it is necessary to inform them of possibility that prognosis is not well in preoperative planning.
