Objectives:To investigate the clinical outcomes of unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) by using curved injection needle in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCFs).Methods:From January 2015 to January 2016,47 patients(14 males and 33 females) with OVCFs were enrolled in this study.The patients were 53-89 years old (66.4±6.5 years),36 cases were single segmental vertebral fracture,11 cases were double segment vertebral fracture.T9 fracture occured in 7 cases,T10 fracture in 7 cases,T11 fracture in 9 cases,T12 fracture in 13 cases,L1 fracture in 12 cases,L2 fracture in 9 cases,and L3 fracture in 1 case.The fluoroscopy time and bone cenent dosage were recorded.The VAS score,ODI,relative height restoration of vertebra and Cobb angle were compared between preoperation and postoperation.The bone cement leakage(venous leakage and perivertebral leakage) and other complications were observed.Results:The average fluoroscopy time was 1.6±0.3nin,the average bone cement dosage was 6.7±1.2ml.Bone cement leakage occured in 11 cases with the rate of 23.4％.The patients were followed up for 3-12 months (6.5±1.3 months).The VAS,ODI,the relative height of injured vertebra and the local Cobb angle before operation,at 2 days after operation and final follow-up were:7.6±1.3,(71.4±3.2)％,0.48±0.21,15.5°±4.2°;2.2±1.0,(27.2± 2.6)％,0.82±0.17,7.2°±2.8°;1.7±0.7,(26.5±2.7)％,0.80±0.15,7.5°±3.7°.At 2 days after operation and final follow-up,the VAS score,ODI score,the relative height and Cobb angle of injured vertebra were significantly improved when compared to those before operation (P＜0.05);There was no significant difference between 2 days after operation and final follow-up(P＞0.05).Conclusions:The advantages of unilateral PVP by using curved injection needleless in OVCFs are less fluoroscopy time,even distribution of bone cement,and less leakage.

BACKGROUND:In the clinical orthodontics, ceramic brackets have deficiencies in the aspects of antibacterial and mechanical properties, which easily lead to the emergence of a variety of adverse events and influence the orthodontic effect. OBJECTIVE:To observe the antibacterial and mechanical properties of nano silver hydroxyapatite coating ceramic brackets. METHODS:The nano silver hydroxyapatite coating ceramic brackets were prepared. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the coating surface. Coating antibacterial experiment was conducted. Totaly 50 in vitro human maxilary premolars were randomly divided into two groups (n=25 per group): experimental and control groups. Premolars in the experimental group were bonded to nano silver coating hydroxyapatite ceramic brackets, and premolars in the control group were bonded to ordinary ceramic brackets. The shear strength was detected in these two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The overall structure of nano silver hydroxyapatite coating was order, uniform and compact. Hydroxyapatite had a porous structure with a micro-nanometer aperture and there were a large number of nano-silver particles uniformly distributed. Quantitative antibacterial experiments showed that nano silver hydroxyapatite coating ceramic brackets had a strong inhibition to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus albus, with an antibacterial rate of more than 95%. The shear strength in the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that the nano silver hydroxyapatite coating ceramic brackets have good antibacterial and mechanical properties, which meet the requirement of mechanical change in the clinical orthodontics.

BACKGROUND:Pedicle screw implantation is a common method to repair many kinds of diseases of the lower cervical spine. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction visualization system can be used in order to improve the accuracy of the implant and improve the prognosis.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of 3D reconstruction visualization system on the accuracy of cervical pedicle screw implantation.
METHODS: The clinical data of 89 patients with cervical spine dislocation, who underwent cervical pedicle screw implantation, were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into control group (46 cases) and observation group (43 cases) according to the navigation method. Patients in the control group underwent C arm X ray two dimensional navigation. Patients in the observation group underwent three-dimensional reconstruction visualization system navigation. Intraoperative placement time was observed, and the accuracy of screw placement was assessed in both groups. The cases were folowed up for 12 months, and the adverse events were recorded and compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Intraoperative implantation time was shorter in the observation group than in the control group, but no significant difference was found (P> 0.05). (2) Accuracy rate: There were no three types of nail cases in the observation group, and the accuracy rate was 93% (40/43). In the control group, two cases affected three types of nailing, and the accuracy rate was 81% (37/46). The accuracy rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). (3) Postoperative folow-up: None suffered from nerve tissue injury to vertebral artery, blood vessel and spinal cord. The screws of the two groups were in stable condition, without screw breakage or loosening. (4) Results suggested that in lower cervical pedicle nail implantation, 3D reconstruction navigation system can effectively improve the accuracy of screw placement, and does not increase nailing time or lead to adverse events. It is a safe and effective navigation mode.
