BACKGROUND: Researches on vitodynamics present that percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) can strengthen hardness and intension of single osteoporosis vertebral body after injection of bone cement; however, the infused volume and site of bone cement for maintaining mechanical stability of vertebral body should be further studied.OBJECTIVE: A numerical calculation method on finite element models (FEM) for biomechanical analysis has been developed, while a boundary condition describing the relative L1 -L2 displacement is imposed on the FEM to account for three-dimensional physiological states.DESIGN: Non-randomized control study.SEITING: Beijing Neurosurgical Institute.MATERIALS: One female patient aged 54 years with compressibility fracture at lumbar vertebrae L1-L2 induced by osteoporosis was diagnosed with CT examination, and the patient was told the fact. Based on CT scanning before and after PVP, 90 serial sections with the thickness of 1 mm were obtained and the size of each pixei was 0.33 mm.METHODS: The experiment was carried out Beijing Neurosurgery Institute from October 2005 to June 2006. ①Establishment of three-dimensional FEM: Integrating the anatomical structure from the spine CT and MRI image of a patient, a novel three-dimensional geometric model of lumbar functional spinal units (FSUs) has been built. Meanwhile, 90 serial sections were obtained to exchange data of CT sections and divide imagings. Based on the geometric model, two kinds of three-dimensional FEM of L1-L2 segments for preoperative and postoperative vertebrae were created. ② Model evaluation: The lcad of (500 N, 1 000 N, 1 500 N, 2 000 N, 2 500 N) axial compression were applied to the superior surface of the model in the form of a uniformly concentrated lcad over all L1 superior surface nodes respectively. We could observe the stress distribution of L1-L2 segment by applying the load and clue on the high stress concentration region as the most likely areas fracture.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Changes of displacement, stress and strain distributions of FEM at L1-L2 segment of lumbar vertebrae under various loads; ② Effect of increase of bone cement volume on displacement, stress and strain distribution.RESULTS: ① The increase in displacement, stress and strain of FE model with the increase of loading in the postoperarive cases. The tendency was approximately linear which also illustrates the spine have flexible biomechanical characteristics. The region was a common place for injures due to loading. The magnitude of stress in the intervertebral disc depended on the proportion of load applied to the superior surface of the motion segment. The heavier the lcad was, the stronger the stress was. ② With the increase of stress on intervertebral disc, the increasing volume of bone cement could induce transfusion of load of nearby vertebral body.CONCLUSION: Building three-dimensional FEM of L1-L2 segments for preoperative and postoperative PVP can explain three-dimensional physiological status of vertebral body based on calculating relative shift of L1-L2 segment of lumbar vertebrae. Meanwhile, simulative calculation can clearly express distribution of stain and stress and preoperative and postoperative deformity of vertebral body.

Objectives: To research the effects of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) with total parenteral nutrition(TPN) on the old patients following abdominal surgery. Methods: 26 old patients receiving TPN after major abdominal surgery were selected and distributed to study group(rhGH+TPN, n =13) and control group(TPN only, n =13).For 7 days after operation, rhGH (8 U/d) or normal saline(in control group) were used. The patients' weight, serum albumin, right hand grip, sleep time and the time of incision cicatrized were determined. Results: The increase of weight, level of plasma albumin, grip power of right hand and sleep time were improved more in study group than those in control group. The incision cicatrized time was also shortened in study group. Conclusions: Growth hormone can promote protein synthesis, accelerate incision healing and reduce the postoperative fatigue syndrome.

Objective To observe changes of thyroid weight and function after 131 I therapy in Graves′ diseaseandtooptimiseradiationdose for treatment of Graves′ disease. Methods From 1995 to 1998, 103 patients with Graves′ disease were selected (nodule was not found by palpation and nuclear scintigraphy). The mean age was 43 (range 27～64) years. Thyroid weight was estimated by nuclear scintigraph (SC) and ultrasound (US). Thyroid function was determined by serum TT 3, TT 4, FT 3, FT 4 and TSH levels. Results The oral dose of 131 I was (188.7?144.3)MBq. If the dose was larger than 555.0 MBq, it was divided into two doses orally. The thyroid weight of the patients before 131 I therapy was (54.8?32.3)g (SC) and (49.3?27.7)g (US), there was no significant difference between SC and US. The thyroid weight in 90 patients was significantly decreased from (51.5?23.4)g to (27.0?13.9)g by SC, and from (47.2?23.7)g to (20.6?8.4)g by US 6～7 months after 131 I treatment. Reduction of thyroid weight was correlated with that before therapy (determined by US) (r=0.49, P

To observe the changes in mucosal blood flow and permeability after esophageal "Z"stenting, 12 adult healthy dogs were divided into two groups, and an esophageal stent was placed in each dog. Mucosal blood flow was measured with Dopplar blood flowmeter. Two hours after stenting PEG400 was instilled into the esophagus continuously under a constant pressure for two hours in the first group. The amount of PEG400 in the stented tissue was measured with gas liquid chromatography.In the second group the same experiment was carried out 24 hours after stenting. The mucosal structure was examined with electron microscope after stenting. It was found that the mucosal blood flow decreased evidently, and the amount of PEG400 was much greater in tissue after being stented as compared with that in normal esophagus. Electron microscopy revealed that the number of desmosome of epithelium decreased, and it was disrupted significantly after stenting. The interval epithelial cells were enlarged, basement membrane was damaged. Stenting might lead to evident decrease of esophageal mucosal blood flow, which significantly impaired the junction of epithelial cells and mucosal structure, and the permeability for PEG400 was increased significantly. All these findings demonstrate that stenting might impair the esophageal mucosa.

To determine the effect of CX43 expression on gastric mucosa apoptosis and proliferation under stress conditions, a water immersion-restraint stress(WRS) model was performed with SD rats. Apoptotic cells were quantitated in gastric mucosa by terminal deoxynucleatidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick and labelling (TUNEL) techniques. Cell proliferation was detected by immunohistochemical staining for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The expression of CX43 mRNA was detected by in situ hybridization. The results revealed that in control rats not exposed to WRS, apoptotic cells were seen only occasionally at the surface epithelium, The PCNA cells occurred in the proliferation zone of the gastric glands. The CX43 mRNA predomination occurred in the zone of the gastric glands. In contrast, the apoptotic quantities rose significantly 2h to 5h after the termination of WRS and reach a peak gradually, while PCNA proteins and the CX43 mRNA decreased significantly. At 8～12h after WRS the apoptotic cells gradually declined, while the PCNA cells increased to reach a peak. The CX43 mRNA almost returned to normal level and then increased to reach a peak. At 24h after WRS, the apoptotic cells remained significantly higher than normal level while the expression of PCNA proteins and CX43 mRNA returned to the values observed in the intact rats.These results suggested the expression of CX43 might associate with cellular differentiation, proliferation and the stabilization of glandular zone and affect the apoptosis of the surface epithelium.
