There should be confusion about diagnosis and treatment for multiple segments cervical myelopathy in some respects. The author reviewed the literature and combined with clinical experience, proposed a new classification for cervical myelopathy according to responsibility segment areas, which dividing into single segment,double segments (continues or jumping type), multi-segment (≥ three segments). The responsible segments determination is the premise of diagnosis and also a key to determine surgical decompression segment. Decompression only according to imaging was not desirable, surgical segment should mainly relies on clinical, imaging, electrophysiological and comprehensive analysis to avoid surgery range expansion. Surgical approach and procedures are still the focus and hotspot of cervical myelopathy treatment, and no treatment standards and corresponding guidelines to consult. The author proposes that surgical approach should advocate the individual, and surgical procedure should follow simple instead of complicate, anterior and posterior combined decompression is not necessary in most cases, and anterior and posterior fixation are not need.

Objective To study the clinic value of digital three-dimensional shaping titanium mesh in repairing skull defects and reconstructing temporal muscle attachment points. Methods Eighty-two patients with skull defects from December 2013 to January 2016 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into two groups according to patients' will with 41 patients in each group. The patients in control group received traditional hand-shaping titanium mesh repair, the patients in observation group received individual digital forming technology to produce titanium mesh repair and reconstruct the temporal muscle attachment points at the titanium mesh temporal corresponding position. The rate of appearance satisfaction, operation time, the number of titanium nail and the rate of postsurgery adverse reaction was compared between the two groups. Results The rate of appearance satisfaction in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group: 97.56%(40/41) vs. 80.49%(33/41), P<0.05. The operation time and the number of titanium nail and in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group:(8.9 ± 1.6) h vs. (12.4 ± 2.4) h, (10.3 ± 0.9) pieces vs. (11.8 ± 1.8) pieces, P < 0.01. The rate of postsurgery adverse reaction in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: 0 vs. 9.8%(4/41), χ2 = 4.21, P < 0.05. Conclusions The operation of repairing skull defects and reconstructing temporal muscle attachment points with digital three-dimensional shaping titanium mesh is simple. It can shorten the operation time, decrease the postsurgery adverse reaction, and increase the appearance satisfaction.

Objective To compare the efficacy of pressure-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation in patients undergoing lumbar surgery in prone position.Methods Sixty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 40-64 yr,weighing 45-90 kg,scheduled for lumbar surgery in prone position,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:pressure-controlled ventilation group (group P) and volume-controlled ventilation group (group V).Anesthesia was induced with dexamethasone 10 mg,etomidate 0.3 mg/kg,sufentanil 0.4 μg/kg,and rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg and maintained with propofol 2-4 mg· kg-1 · h-1,remifentanil 6-10 μg· kg-1 · h-1 and vecuronium 0.08 mg· kg-1 · h-1.The i-gel laryngeal mask airways were inserted after induction and the patients were mechanically ventilated.A gastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of i-gel.The maximum inspiratory pressure was adjusted to reach the tidal volume (VT) of 8 ml/kg in group P and the VT was set at 8 ml/kg in group V.PTrCO2 was maintained at 30-40 mm Hg.The mean airway pressure (Pmean) and peak airway pressure (Peak) were recorded immediately after insertion of i-geal (T0),immediately after the patients were turned to prone position (T1),immediately before skin incision (T2),30 min after the beginning of surgery (T3),immediately after the end of surgery (T4) and immediately after the patients were turned to supine position (T5).While dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) was calculated.Arterial blood samples were taken at the same time points for blood gas analysis.Oxygenation index (OI) and respiratory index (RI) were calculated.Results Compared with group V,Pmoan and Ppeak were significantly decreased at T0-5,Cdyn and OI were increased,and RI was decreased at T1-4 in group P (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with volumecontrolled ventilation,pressure-controlled ventilation can better improve the ventilatory efficacy and reduce prone position-induced effect on respiratory function in patients undergoing lumbar surgery.

Objective:To study the feasibility of 3-D reconstruction model in the observation of tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(TCDD) effected palatal organ development of fetal mouse.Methods:Kunming mice treated 40 ug/kg TCDD by lavage on day 12.5 of pregnancy were used as in the experimental group,isodose corn oil treated in the control group.On day 13.5,14.5 and 15.5 of pregnancy heads of the fetal mice were taken out and fixed.Conventional paraffin serial sections of palatal organ were preparated and dyed by hematoxylin-eosin,images of the palatal organs were collected and photoshop treated,3-D reconstruction of the palatal organ was performed by 3D-DOCTOR software.Results:3-D reconstruction images showed that palatal organs moved from on both sides above the tongue and gradually closed and merged in the control group.In the experimental group,the palatal organs moved from on both sides above the tongue was later than control group,gradually closed,but not merged,formed cleft palate.Conclusion:3D-DOCTOR software reconstruction can be used for the study of the development process effected by TCDD in the pregnant mouse.

Anxiety is usually generated because of the threatened feeling. The data of electrocardio, respiration, blood volume pulse and skin conductance signals were collected. The arithmetic of Relief were used for the feature selection and combined with k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) arithmetic and Support Vector Machine (SVM) arithmetic for classification. The results show that the combination of Relief-SVM is better than combination of Relief-kNN on the recognition of anxiety state. The emotion recognition based on multi-physiological signals is superior to that based on one single signal.

Objective To evaluate the validity of narrow-band imaging (NBI) system in detection of colorectal adenoma, as compared to that of endoscopy of the colon and rectum, in a systematic review. Methods Relevant literatures were retrieved from Medline (January 1966 to October 2008), OVID (January 1996 to October 2008), EMBASE (January 1980 to October 2008), Coehrane Library (Issue 3, 2008) and Chinese Biological Medicine Disk (CBM disk, January 1997 to October 2008). Quality of the literatures retrieved was assessed based on the Cochrane Reviewers' Handbook and Jadad's score. RevMan version 4. 2 software was used for meta-analysis. Results Seven randomized clinical trials (2838 patients) were included in the study. Compared with white-light colonoscopy, no significant difference was observed in terms of adenoma detection rate (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.00-1.39, P=0.06) by NBI system, which could significantly improve total number of detection for fiat lesions of the colon and rectum (pooled WMD 0.14, 95% CI 0.02-0.26, P=0.02), but with a longer withdrawn time (pooled WMD 1.05, 95% CI 0.08-1.22, P<0.01). Conclusions Detection rate for flat lesions of the colon and rectum, not for adenoma, can be improved by NBI system and meanwhile its withdrawn time is prolonged, indicating that routine use of NBI system for detecting colorectal adenomas may be recommended only with its further refined technique.

Refractory ulcer is a commonly seen disease clinically. We believe the therapeutic strategies for refractory ulcer should include changing life style, standardizing medication, tracing observation, and rechecking in regularity. Traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine can be used for the treatment. When the therapeutic effect is not good, diagnosis and therapeutic methods need to be re-judged.Local therapy and operation can be performed if necessary.

Objective To analyze the stress state of magnetic attachment in mandibular complete overdenture supported by nature roots and implant, and to provide neference for designing of clinical prosthodentics. Methods Three-dimensional finite models (model,Ⅱ,Ⅲ)of three groups of mandibular overdentures depending on the different location of the implant and natural tooth root, placing three pairs of magnetic attachment, were constructed by application of CT scanning,computer photo processing system,and Solidworks finite element model building software.The natural teeth and implant neck bone stress of the models in three groups under different stress were calculated and compared.Results The stress of the bone around the implant in the area of molar teeth in model with both sides of the implants under oblique load (Model Ⅱ)was significantly increased compared with the model with one side of the implant (Model Ⅲ). The supporting bone stress of oblique load was increased compared with the vertical load;among them under the oblique load at one side’ s molar teeth, the stress of the bone around the implant in the area of molar teeth in modelⅠ,modelⅡ and model Ⅲ was increased about 30%, 43%,and 55%.Conclusion When there only one nature teeth remain,two implants should be at least added, one in the area of opposite cuspid, and the other in the area of molar teeth of the same side. The magnetic attachment is better than other kinds of attachment in preventing the damage of abutment when it suffers inclined load.
