Sacral fractures are usually caused by high-energy violence,often complicated with injury to the lumbosacral plexus.In severe cases,they may cause instability of the posterior pelvic ring or of the lumbosacral junction.Their classifications commonly used in clinic are Denis,Tile,Isler and refined Denis type Ⅲ ones proposed by Roy-Camille and Gibbons.Recently,classifications of the lumbosacral lesions and scoring systems of the injury severity have often been used clinically.At present,internal instrumentation of sacral fractures is developing along the direction of high efficiency,safety and minimal invasion,but different methods of internal fixation have their own indications which should be strictly followed.This review summarizes the classifications of sacral fractures and their treatment advances.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction( MBSR) on anxiety and depression in spouses of breast cancer patients and to analyze the mediating effect of caregiver burden for the training effects. Methods Randomized control trial was used in this research.100 spouses of breast cancer patients were recruited and they were randomized into experimental group or control group. 91 of them completed the study finally (45 in experimental group and 46 in control group). Participants in con-trol group received no intervention,while participants in experimental group received MBSR once a week for 8 weeks. All participants were assessed with the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview ( ZBI,measuring caregiver burden) ,Beck Depression Inventory( BDI,measuring depression level) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale( HAMA, measuring anxiety level) before and after intervention. Results After 8-week intervention,participants in experimental group got significantly lower total scores of ZBI,BDI and HAMA compared with pretest ((22.31 ±5.76) vs (25.98±6.00),(8.47±3.21) vs (11.87±3.51),(14.98±4.75) vs (17.93±4.65), P<0. 01), while there were no significant differences between posttest and pretest on any score in control group (P>0.05).Caregiver burden played mediating effect in MBSR for improving depression,and mediating effect was 56.6% of the total effect. Conclusion MBSR can effectively improve anxiety and depression with the spou-ses of breast cancer patients,and the caregiver burden is the intermediary variable in the effect of MBSR for improving depression.

Objective To study the relationship between the variation of the 20 exon of leptin receptor (LEPR) and lipid metabolism of the children with obesity. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragments length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were used to analyze the variation of the 20 exon of the LEPR gene of the obesity group (120 obese children) and the control group (120 healthy children). Their serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), height, weight measured and the body mass index (BMI), fat percent (%fat) were calculated. Results 3 genotypes of the 20 exon of LEPR gene has been detected. Compared with the control group, the frequency of the gene variation at 3057 nucleotide G→A transversion is higher (P<0.05).The concentration of the serum TG, the level of BMI and %fat of the obese children with A/A genotype were higher than that with the G/G genotype (P<0.01),but the level of the serum HDL was lower (P<0.01).To the children with A/G genotype, only their TG level in serum are higher than that with the G/G genotype (P<0.05). Conclusion There is polymorphism at 20 exon LEPR gene in children with obesity, which may affect the lipid metabolism and the fat distribution. The obese children with A/A genotype should pay more attention to their diet to avoid some diseases followed obesity.
