Objective\ To observe the practicality of sonography for differentiating the compression factors and judging whether thorough decompression anterior to the dura sac has been obtained. Methods Posterior midline incision was used in a total of 16 cases. After the laminae were resected, normal saline was poured into the operation field, and ultrasound examination performed with a 5.0 MHz sectorscanner. Combined with preoperative imaging (CT or MRI),the compression factors were differentiated. The isolated tissue(bone or disc)pieces in spinal canal were removed first,then reduction of approximate and distal parts of the injuried spinal column was obtained with the help of the Dick devices. Posteriorly protruded bone mass was tumbled in carefully supervised with sonography. The sonographic criterion for thorough decompression consisted of the reappearance of the anterior subarachnoid and an even and smooth echo of posterior dura mater. Results\ The sonographic criterion for thorough decompression was achieved in all cases. No bone mass posterior displacement was observed on postoperative rontgenogram or CT examination. Partial or complete recovery of neural function was obtained in 13 cases. Conclusion\ All elements contributing to anterior dura sac compression can be readily recognized by sonography,which offers a reliable criterion for complete decompression.

Objective To explore a rapid and accurate method for the diagnosis of smear negative tuberculosis meningitis (TBM). Methods Sixty-seven patients with TBM were selected from Tianjin Haihe Hospital from June 2014 to June 2016, and 118 patients with non-tuberculous meningitis (NTBM) in the same period were chosen as control group, including bacterial meningitis (BM) group (n=61) and viral meningitis (VM) group (n=57). The laboratory routine, biochemical and immune indicators were tested with the specimens of both the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of all the patients. The Logistic regression equation was established for the diagnosis of TBM, and the diagnostic efficacy of which was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results The predictive regression equations of the TBM with BM, VM and NTBM (BM + VM) were obtained when BM group was used as a control: PRE_BM=1/1 +e-(-5.298+0.196 × ESAT-6+ 0.119 × CFP-10-2.968 × PCT+2.206 × ADA_CSF+0.705 × GLU_CSF+0.093 × LDH_CSF), PRE_VM=1/1+e-(-6.907+0.394 × ESAT-6-0.120 × Na+2.633 × ADA_CSF-0.088 × Cl_CSF) and PRE_NTBM=1/1+e-(0.683+0.099×ESAT-6+0.063×CFP-10-2.645×PCT+1.393×ADA_CSF+1.342×TbAb_CSF)respectively. When BM group was served as a control, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the regression for the diagnosis of TBM were 97.01%(89.63%-99.64%), 98.36%(91.20%-99.96%), 98.48%(91.84%-99.96%) and 96.77%(88.83%-99.61%), respectively.When VM group was served as a control, which were 94.03%(85.41%-98.35%), 94.74%(85.38%-98.90%), 95.45%(87.29%-99.05%) and 93.10%(83.27%-98.09%), respectively. When NTBM group was served as control, which were 94.03%(85.41%~98.35%), 90.68%(83.93%-95.25%), 85.14%(74.96%-92.34%) and 96.40%(91.03%-99.01%), respectively. Conclusion The predictive regression equation could be used as early diagnostic TBM with high sensitivity and specificity, which should be popularized in clinical practice, while, according to the higher negative predictive value, the negative results of which could be used to rule out of the TBM and non-empirical medication.

[ABSTRACT]AIM:Toexploretheeffectoftheelasticmodulusandsizesofliquidcrystal(LC)phasesonosteo-genic differentiation based on OPC/PU composite substrate by mimicking the microenvironment in rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs).METHODS: A series of composite substrates with different elastic modulus were constructed via modulation of LC content in the composites .The surface phase structure was observed by polarized microscopy , and the mechanical property was measured by a universal material testing machine .Furthermore, the laser confocal microscope was employed to observe the spreading , polarization and the cytoskeleton arrangement of the rBMSCs .The proliferation of rBM-SCs was evaluated by CCK-8 assay.The specific mRNA expression of osteogenic differentiation such as collagen Ⅰ, and osteopontin on the composite membranes was detected by real-time PCR.RESULTS:The size and number of LC phase in-creased and the elastic modulus of the composite substrates decreased with the increase of the LC content .The rBMSCs ex-hibited better characteristics of initial adhesion , spreading and proliferation on the OPC 10-PU and OPC30-PU in the early and medium culturing .The rBMSCs displayed higher expression of collagen Ⅰ and osteopontin on the OPC10-PU in the early and medium osteogenic induction , while the high expression of these osteogenic genes occured on the OPC 30-PU and OPC50-PU in later osteogenic induction .The emphasis of genetic expression was switched from collagen Ⅰin the early and medium osteogenic induction to osteopontin in the later stage .CONCLUSION:When the content of LC remained low in the composite substrates , rBMSCs mainly responded to the mechanical stimuli induced by substrate stiffness and exhibited distinguished cellular behaviors;with the increase in the LC content , rBMSCs had strong interactions with LC by sensing the viscoelasticity of LC , probably resulted from the contribution of both substrate stiffness and the viscoelasticity of LC phase .
