[Objective]To evaluate the clinical treatment results for diastematomyelia treated by operation. [Method]Data from patients with diastematomyelia admitted to our hospital from May 1978 to January 2006 were reviewed. According to the classification, there were single-tube in 25 and double-tube in 96 patients. One hundred and two patients with diastematomyelia were treated by operation and ninteen by conservative treatment. The clinical results were retrospectively analyzed according to scoring neural function and monitoring the peak P40 of posterior trivial nerve cortical somatosensory evoked potential (PTNCSEP) before and after treatment.[Result]The total operative effective rate of double-tube diastematomyelia amounted to 86% during a follow-up period of 6 months to 15 years,more significant in patients with pain.The scores of neural function and PTNCSEP were significantly improved. But patients with single-tube diastematomyelia had no obvious change after operation.[Conclusion]The spinal cord is damaged severely in double-tube diastematomyelia and gradually aggravated.Operation can get symptomatic relief in many patients and terminate spinal cord lesion. So operation should be performed as soon as the diagnosis is made. The spinal cord is damaged slightly in single-tube diastematomyelia and surgery is not indicated.

Objective To demonstrate the validity of volumetric QCT and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry( DXA )in bone mineral density (BMD) measurement and compare the difference in discriminating osteoporotic postmenopansal women with and without vertebral fracture. Methods One hundred and eighteen postmenopausal women [ mean age (62. 1 ± 7.0) years ] who received thoracolumbar radiographic examination were enrolled and divided into four groups (normal, osteopenia, osteoporotic and osteoporotic fractured group) also based on their BMD value of lumbar vertebra(AP-SPINE) measured by DXA: >x- 1s,x- 1s-x-2s, 0. 05 ]. In osteoporotic groups, AP-SPINE was not correlated significantly with other variables except 3D-CORT ( R2 = 0. 189, P < 0. 01 ) ; parameters of App60,80,100,120 BV/TV% were correlated significantly with 3 D-TRAB (R2 = 0. 955, 0. 951,0. 941,0. 912, P < 0. 01, respectively) and 2 D-TRAB(R2 = 0.912, 0.910, 0.878, 0.821, P < 0.01, respectively). The precision of 3D-BMD measurement was between 0. 70%--2. 25%. Conclusions Parameters derived from 3D-vQCT technique can discriminate osteoporotic postmenopausal women with fractured vertebrae from those without fractured vertebrae, and have better the capability than DXA. Among them, 3D-INTGL was the best parameter for diagnosing serious osteoporosis. App BV/TV% could be used to reflect the lost of trabecular bone precisely and to clinically predict fracture risk.

Aim To construct and express the fused gene of anti-glioma single chain Fv(39ScFv)/ human tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α ). Methods The mature peptide cDNA of TNF-α was fused to 3′ -terminus of ScFv gene. The 39ScFv-TNFα fusion gene was cloned into expression vector pET20b(＋ ) and induced to express in E.coli.
