BACKGROUND:Artificial cervical disc prosthesis simulates range of motion and buffer shock function of normal intervertebral discs. Clinical experiments verify that artificial cervical disc prosthesis material has good biocompatibility and mechanical characteristics. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate artificial cervical disc replacement and zero-profile interbody fixation and fusion system for multilevel cervical disease in 2-year folow-up. METHODS:Artificial cervical disc replacement and zero-profile interbody fixation and fusion system were used to treat 42 patients with multilevel cervical disease. The patient presented typical symptoms and signs of spinal cord or nerve root compression. There were 18 cases of cervical myelopathy, 15 cases of nerve root cervical spondylosis and 10 cases of mixed type of cervical spondylosis. After treatment, mean operation time, blood loss and reoperation rate were measured. Postoperative complications, disability index of neck function, visual analog scale, function unit range of corresponding surgery segments of the cervical spine, Cobb angle of C2-C7 vertebral body, range of motion of adjacent segment of proximal and distal vertebral bodies were observed and clinical outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Al cases finished the operation and were scored at various time points. After treatment, radiating pain of shoulder and neck and upper extremity were remarkably lessened. Numbness and sensory loss symptoms disappeared obviously. Quality of life elevated noticeably. Visual analog scale and the disability index of neck function score were decreased in final folow-up compared with pre-treatment (P < 0.001). C2-C7 vertebrae Cobb angle, FSU angle, range of motion of proximal surgery adjacent segment and range of motion of the distal surgery adjacent segment were elevated compared with pre-treatment (P < 0.001). These data indicate that cervical spondylosis was improved after treatment. Each index of cervical spondylosis after artificial cervical disc replacement and zero-profile interbody fixation and fusion system was reconstructed to different degrees.

Objective To explore the intervention effect of evidence-based nursing on the health behavior of elderly hypertensive patients in the community.Methods 187 elderly hypertensive patients who were hospitalized in December 2015 and met the inclusive criteria were divided into observation group (n=93) and control group (n=94).The observation group received evidence-based nursing according to the evidence-based medical system evaluation while the control group was given regular nursing both for 6 months.The clinical efficacy of two nursing modes was observed and the differences between pre-intervention and pose-intervention and groups were recorded and analyzed with a self-designed questionnaire, drug compliance questionnaire and health behavior scale.Results In the observation group, the blood pressure was effectively controlled or reduced, treatment compliance was significantly increased and body mass index (BMI) was within the ideal range 6 months later.Scores of unhealthy behaviors such as those in living habits and mental stress were lower than those in the control group, which showed significant difference (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in activity participation between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Evidence-based nursing intervention can effectively control the hypertension, improve the treatment compliance of the community elderly hypertension patients and help lead them to a more positive and healthier life style.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in regulating depressed state. Method Sixty patients in depressed state were divided into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was given basic intervention plus acupuncture, whereas the control group was treated by basic intervention alone. The two groups were evaluated by using Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and PSTR prior to treatment, and respectively after 1, 2, and 3-month treatment. The clinical efficacies of the two groups were compared. Result The HAMD and PSTR scores were significantly changed respectively after 1, 2, and 3-month treatment compared to that before treatment in both groups (P<0.05). Respectively after 1, 2, and 3-month treatment, the HAMD and PSTR scores of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). Acupuncture worked rather slowly in the first month of treatment, while in the following 2 months, its efficacy increased significantly. The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 40.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no adverse reactions during the whole intervention with acupuncture. Conclusion Acupuncture is an effective approach in regulating depressed state.

AIM:To establish HPLC fingerprint for the root and rhizome of Clematis uncinata Champ and to compare the differences of clematis and Clematis uncinata in fingerprint. METHODS:Based on 10 batches of Clematis unciuata Champ,its chromatographic seperation was performed on Diamonsil C18 (250 mm ? 4. 6 mm,5 ?m)with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile -0.05% phosphoric acid,gradient eluent,at the flow rate of 0. 8 mL/min. The UV detection was set at 210 nm. RESULTS:The mutual mode to HPLC-UV fingerprints was set up,and the 23 mutual peaks were indicated. The similarities were compared among Cleuatis uncinata Champ and substitutes collected from different sources there were apparent difference in fingerprint. CONCLUSION:The method is stable and reliable with a good reproducibility and provides a reference standard for identifying medicinal clematis.

Objective To investigate the effects of siRNAs targeted protein kinase C ?(PKC?) on the proliferation and apoptosis of A549 cell line.Methods Six PKC? siRNAs were designed and chemical synthesized. Candidate PKC? siRNA was transfected into A549 cells,PKC? mRNA level was determined by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Then,the effects of more effective PKC? siRNAs on A549 were further investigated by using clone formation assay,Hoechst 33258 staining,propidium iodide (PI) staining,Annexin V-FITC and PI dual staining and western blot. Results Six candidate PKC? siRNAs were designed and named as No.1,No.2,No.3,No.4,No.5 and No.6 PKC? siRNA. Compared with controls,PKC? mRNA levels were all significantly downregulated and the cell proliferation was inhibited in A549 cells treated with candidate PKC? siRNAs except No.5 (P

Objective To explore the distribution of the liquid food in the stomach of patients with postprandial distress syndrome (PDS)-predominated functional dyspepsia (FD)and the mechanism of its gastric dynamic dysfunction.Methods Fifty-two patients with PDS and 18 healthy volunteers underwent gastric emptying examination with ultrasound scanner provided.The proximal and distal gastric area and volume,area and volume ratio of proximal and distal gastric as well as emptying rate of proximal and distal gastric were calculated at fasting,maximum satiety,30 min,60 min,90 min and 120 min after meal. Student′s t test andχ2 test were performed for statistical analysis.Results Proximal gastric volume of PDS group at the time of fasting and 120 min after meal were (9.06±7.88)and (24.72±24.02)cm3 ,which were larger than those of healthy control group ((5 .96 ± 2.13 )cm3 ,(19.48 ± 12.32 )cm3 ),and the differences were statistically significant (t=-1 .637 and -0.875 ,both P <0.05).Ratio of proximal and distal gastric area at maximum satiety in PDS group was 1 .63±0.42 and that in healthy control group was 2.33±0.63,and the difference was statistically significant (t =5 .044,P <0.05 ).Ratio of proximal and
distal gastric volume in PDS group and healthy group at fasting was 0.60 ± 0.38 and 0.46 ± 0.19, respectively,that at maximum satiety was in PDS group and healthy group 0.91 ±0.27,1 .30 ±0.48, respectively,and the differences were statistically significant (t = - 1 .505 and 3.970,both P <0.05). The emptying rates of proximal stomach of PDS group at 30 min and 90 min postprandial were (28.10 ± 25 .03)% and (68.80±16.14)%,respectively,those of healthy control group were (34.97 ±14.41 )%and (75 .86 ±9.86)%,and the differences were statistically significant (t =1 .087 and 1 .718,both P <0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in emptying rate of distal stomach between two groups (all P > 0.05 ).Conclusions The volume of distal stomach was larger than that of proximal stomach in PDS patients at maximum satiety in liquid food distribution,which may be the cause of decreasing emptying rate of proximal stomach.And proximal stomach dominated gastric motility in PDS patients.
