Objective To observe the difference of efficacy of three different treatment of internal fixation of intervetebral crasis on cervical spondylosis (spinal cord) .Methods From January 2009 to January 2013 ,There are 167 cases of patients admitted to hospital from cervical spondylosis (spinal cord ) ,randomly selected different fusion fixation methods are divided into three groups :in the first group ,there were 55 patients treated with autologous iliac bone graft fusion plate fixation ;in the second group , there were 60 patients treated with zero profile material PEEK interbody fusion with autologous bone graft ;in the third group ,the 52 patients were treated with the PEEK material MC + self‐locking cervical interbody fusion with autologous bone graft .Observa‐tion and comparison indicators include :spinal cord function JOA scores before and after surgery ,surgical segment intervertebral height and cervical curvature condition .Results Follow‐up lasted from 13 to 50 months ,the average length was 26 months .The difference in operation time ,blood loss during surgery analysis ,wherein the first group and the second or third group of three groups was statistically significant (P<0 .05) ,the difference between the second group and the third group was not statistically significant (P>0 .05) .In the first group ,there were 17 patients had transient throat discomfort and symptom disappeared 48 hours later ;dysphagia relieved or disappeared in one week ;there were two cases of screws and titanium loosen one week after operation , and were treated with immediate revision surgery .In the second ,third group ,there were 19 cases and 13 cases showed temporary throat discomfort disappeared within 48 hours after surgery respectively ,there was no dysphagia .No patient experienced cerebrospi‐nal fluid leakage ,hematoma and wound infection .The postoperative JOA scores spinal cord function (17 points France) ,surgical segmental cervical intervertebral height and curvature of three groups improved significantly compared with preoperative evaluation index ,and there was no significant difference among three groups (P>0 .05) .In the last follow‐up ,the interbody fusion rates of the first ,second and third groups were 67 .1% ,66 .3% and 65 .9% ,the difference between groups was not statistically significant (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Anterior decompression and interbody fusion locking device applications showed good performance in maintai‐ning the intervertebral height segment surgery ,rehabilitation cervical curvature ,and promote bone fusion with autogenous titanium plate fixation comparison .Patients can get a good surgery ,and the former has a simpler surgical fixation method ,shorter time ,less bleeding and less complications .

Objective To express the recombinant caspid of genotype 4 hepatitis E virus(HEV) ORF2. Methods HEV recombinant capsid protein D66 was expressed in E. coli, using the ORF2 fragment (aa368-606, obtained from swine bile) of genotype 4 HEV. Results The recombinant capsid proteins D66 self-assemble to be particle with a radius of 13 nm through dimeric form in neutral solution. Coated particles reacted well with sera obtained from patients during acute or recovered phase of HEV infection. Immunofluorescence and immnoblot assay suggested that D66 bound and penetrated HepG2 cell lines, and the process of attachment was blocked by sera collected from patients during acute or recovered phase of HEV infection.Conclusion Recombinant D66 particles simulate the structure at the surface of genotype 4 HEV well and specifically adhere and penetrate the host cells, which lays the foundation for the investigation of the molecular mechanism of genotype 4 HEV infection.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of anthropometric indicators in predicting cardiovascular risk in the population with metabolic syndrome(MS).Methods:A cross-sectional study was used to analyze the correlation between anthropometric measures and cardiovascular risk in subjects with MS. Cardiometabolic risk was assessed with cardiometabolic risk index(CMRI). Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the predictive power of anthropometric measures for cardiometabolic risk.Results:(1) The anthropometric measures [body mass index(BMI), waist-hip ratio(WHR), waist-to-height ratio(WtHR), body fat percentage(BFP), visceral fat index(VFI), conicity index(CI), a body shape index(ABSI), body roundness index(BRI), abdominal volume index(AVI)] in the MS group were significantly higher than those in the non-MS group( P<0.05). Moreover, there were significant differences in CMRI score and vascular risk between the two groups( P<0.05). (2) Logistic regression analysis showed that the cardiovascular risk was increased with the increases of BMI, VFI, WHR, WtHR, CI, BRI, and AVI after adjusting for confounding factors in the overall population, the non-MS population, and the MS population( P<0.05). (3) In the ROC analysis, the AUC values of BMI, VFI, and AVI were 0.767, 0.734, and 0.770 in the overall population; 0.844, 0.816, and 0.795 in the non-MS population; 0.701, 0.666, and 0.702 in the MS population, respectively. For the overall population and non-MS population, the optimal cut points of BMI to diagnose high cardiovascular risk were 26.04 kg/m 2 and 24.36 kg/m 2; the optimal cut points of VFI were 10.25 and 9.75; the optimal cut points of AVI were 17.3 cm 2 and 15.53 cm 2, respectively. In the MS population, the optimal cut point as a predictor of high cardiovascular risk in young and middle-aged men with MS was 27.63 kg/m 2, and the optimal cut point of AVI in women was 18.08 cm 2. Conclusion:BMI, VFI, and AVI can be used as predictors of cardiovascular risk in the general population. BMI can be used as a predicator of high cardiovascular risk in young and middle-age men with MS. AVI can be used as a predicator of high cardiovascular risk in women with MS.
