BACKGROUND:Due to special physiological and anatomical location, stability of the spine is very complicated during thoracolumbar fractures. It is difficult to identify the stability of the spine. It should be based on their individual circumstances, to explore more effective internal fixation repair method.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the Cobb’s angle and vertebral height of patients with thoracolumbar fracture and spinal cord compression treated with posterior laminectomy and screw fixation, and compared with anterior laminectomy.
METHODS:One hundred patients with thoracolumbar fracture and spinal cord compression, who were treated in the Panyu District Central Hospital from January 2013 to November 2014, were enroled in this study. The patients were equaly and randomly divided into posterior laminectomy fixation group and anterior laminectomy fixation group. Tactile and sports of American Spinal Injury Association scores, Cobb’s angle and vertebral height were assessed before treatment and 1 month after treatment, and fixation effects were compared between the twogroups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) No significant difference in each index was detected between the two groups preoperatively (P> 0.05). (2) Tactile and sports of American Spinal Injury Association scores, Cobb’s angle and vertebral height were better in the posterior laminectomy fixation group than in the anterior laminectomy fixation group at 1 month postoperatively (P< 0.05). (3) These findings indicated that compared with the anterior laminectomy fixation, posterior laminectomy fixation for thoracolumbar fracture combined with spinal cord compression obtained better outcomes, and could obviously relieve spinal cord compression. Posterior laminectomy fixation isasafe and effective treatment method for thoracolumbar fracture and spinal cord compression.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the bundles of treatment protocol for patients with acute brain injury (ABI) complicated by acute lung injury (ALl)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A total of 83 patients with acute brain injury complicated by ALI/ARDS were randomly divided into experimental group (n =41) and control group (n =42).The control group was treated with the routine bundle protocol while the experimental group was treated with an intensive bundle protocolin addition to the routine bundle protocol.The data was collected,and the effectiveness and safety of the two bundles of treatment protocol were evaluated.Results The results of heart rate (HR),SpO2,and PO2/FiO2 in the two groups showed significant differences before and after treatment.The improvement of PO2/FiO2 in the experimental group occurred earlier and was more significant compared tothe control group,24 hours after treatment.The mechanical ventilation time,ICU stay time,and total hospitalization time for the experimental group were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) from the control group.The 28-day mortality and morbidity of ventilator-associated pneumonia showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05) between the two groups.Conclusion The treatment of acute brain injury complicated by ALI/ARDS by the two bundles of treatment protocol is effective.Compared to the conventional treatment bundles,the intensive treatment bundles can significantly improve oxygenation,and shorten the mechanical ventilation time required,as well as ICU and total hospital stay.

Objective To investigate the effect of microRNA-1 (miR-1) on the fibrosis of cardiac fibroblasts induced by high glucose. Methods The primary cultured fibroblasts from 1-3 days old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 3): normal glucose + lentivector-vehicle (CON+Lv-Vehicle group), normal glucose + lentivector-miR-1 (CON+Lv-miR1 group), high glucose + lentivector-vehicle (HG+Lv-Vehicle group), high glucose + lentivector-miR-1 (HG+Lv-miR1 group). Fibroblasts were cultured in glucose concentration 5.5 mmol/L and 25 mmol/L DMEM culture, and were injected lentiviral vector carrying miR-1 silencer sequence or the same volume of lentiviral vector. After 12 hours, the medium was replaced with fresh complete medium. After 3 days when transfection efficiency was up to 90%, the cellular miR-1 content was detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The secretion of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Expression of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ, matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 (MMP-2, MMP-9), autophagy related protein LC3B-Ⅱ, P62/SQSTM1 and Cathepsin D were assessed by Western Blot. Results Compared with the CON+Lv-Vehicle group, the content of miRNA in the CON+Lv-miR1 group had no statistical significance. Compared with the CON+Lv-Vehicle group, high glucose increased the amount of miR-1 (2-ΔΔCt: 1.82±0.17 vs. 1.00±0.04), collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ secretion (mg/L: 14.55±0.33 vs. 7.28±0.22, 157.50±13.22 vs. 61.25±8.54) and expression (gray value: 432.35±56.00 vs. 100.00±15.00, 320.35±47.00 vs. 100.00±15.00), the level of MMP-2, MMP-9 and the expression of autophagy related protein LC3B-Ⅱ and P62/SQSTM1 (gray value: 249.0±21.0 vs. 100.0±15.0, 142.3±20.0 vs. 100.0±16.0, 178±19 vs. 100±14, 378.3±20.0 vs. 100.0±15.0), decreased the expression of lysosomal associated protein Cathepsin D (gray value: 60±14 vs. 100±10), and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Compared with the HG+Lv-Vehicle group, the amount of miR-1 in the HG+Lv-miR1 group was significantly decreased (2-ΔΔCt: 1.21±0.10 vs. 1.82±0.17), collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ secretion (mg/L: 10.68±0.54 vs. 14.55±0.33, 87.25±13.55 vs. 157.50±13.22) and expression (gray value: 179.41±45.00 vs. 432.35±56.00, 173.41±50.00 vs. 320.35±47.00), the level of MMP-2, MMP-9 and the expression of autophagy related protein LC3B-Ⅱ and P62/SQSTM1 (gray value: 172.0±23.0 vs. 249.0±21.0, 90.0±17.0 vs. 142.3±20.0, 138±15 vs. 178±19, 265.0±17.0 vs. 378.3±20.0) in the HG+Lv-miR1 group were decreased and the expression of lysosomal associated protein Cathepsin D was higher (gray value: 110±17 vs. 60±14), and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions The expression of miRNA-1 was up-regulated in cardiac fibroblasts cultured in high glucose, and miRNA-1 silencing inhibited cardiac fibroblast induced fibrosis in high glucose. The mechanism may be related to the recovery of autophagy flux, up-regulation of Cathepsin D expression and inhibition of collagen production.

As an important indicator of total hip arthroplasty (THA) the rate and degree of offset reconstruction play an important role in improving the prognosis and life quality of patients. The reconstruction of femoral offset is closely related to reserved length of calcar femorale, the head and neck length of prosthesis, angle degree of neck shaft and whether lower limb is isometric. Reconstruction strategy includes making a meticulous and standard measurement before the surgery, predicting the reserved length of calcar femorale, selecting a prosthesis with approximate anatomical neck-shaft angle and reconstructing offset by adjusting the head and neck length of the prosthetic during the operation. The aim of this article was to introduce the research progress and influence of offset on hip function, prosthetic wear and postoperative complications such as pain, limp and unequal leg length, and to discuss the reconstruction strategy.

Objective To investigate the long time prognosis of liver resection or transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) of Barcelona clinic liver cancer stage C(BCLC-C) patients who have portal vein tumor thrombsis.Methods Totally 86 BCLC-C patients who satisfied our including criteria from our surgical database of People's Hospital of Yichang City from January 2000 to September 2015 were selected as the research object.According to different treatment,86 patients were divided into liver resection group(n=50) and TACE group(n=36).The general information of two groups were compared.Cox multi-factors analysis and overall survival rate were calculated.ResultsThe long-term prognosis of liver resection group was better than that of TACE group(5-year OS:26% vs.0,P<0.001).Multi-factors analysis revealed that multiple tumors (HR:1.510,95%CI[1.120,2.316],P=0.020),AST>40 IU/L(HR:0.615,95%CI[0.488,1.206],P=0.013) as well as HBV-DNA>1 000(HR:1.204,95%CI:[0.920,2.540],P=0.038)were adverse factors for prognosis.ConclusionLiver resection is better than TACE for BCLC-C patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis.However,randomized controlled trial still need to be used to further confirm our conclusion.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different ventilation time in the prone position on patients with endogenous/exogenous ARDS.Methods:30 endogenous/30 exogenous ARDS patients were randomly devided into 4 groups,ventilation in the prone position for 2 h and 4 h.Recording the score of APCHEII,oxygenation index,the absorption situation in X-ray,HR,MAP,extubation time,the time out of ICU.Results:The APCHEII scores HR and MAP in four groups have no significant statistics (P＞0.05);4h ventilation for endogenous ARDS patients has a better indicators than 2 h in oxygenation index,the absorption situation in X-ray,extubation time and the time out of ICU (P＜0.05);2 h and 4 h ventilation for exogenous ARDS patients can improve indicators above,two groups have no significant statistics (P＞0.05),the results of exogenous groups are precede than endogenous group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Ventilation in the prone position can improve the situation of ARDS patients,both endogenous patients and exogenous patients.Exogenous ARDS patients have a better treatment effect after the ventilation of 2h,however,endogenous patients need longer time and have a non-ideal prognosis.

Objective To observe the influence of intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate (HA) on mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -1, -3 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 in cartilage and synovium of osteoarthritis (OA) . Methods Sixteen white rabbits underwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection and were divided into 2 groups randomly 5 weeks after transection. Experimental group rabbits received 0.3 ml of intra-articular 1% HA injection once a week. Animals in control group were treated under the same condition using saline. At death, 10 weeks following surgery, histological changes of articular cartilage of medial femoral condyle were evaluated by microscopy. The mRNA expression of MMP-1, MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in cartilage and synovium was analyzed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) . Results Cartilage degradation in experimental group was significantly less severe than that in the control group. The expression of MMP-3 mRNA in synovium was significantly suppressed in experimental group compared with the control group (0.40?0.10 vs 0.62?0.13). HA treatment had no effect on MMP-3 expression in cartilage. No significant difference of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 expression in cartilage and synovium was found between experimental group and control group. Conclusion HA can alleviate the degeneration of articular cartilage of OA. One possible mechanism of the therapeutic effect of HA may be inhibition of expression of MMP-3 in synovium during early stage of OA.

BACKGROUND:Previous study has found that hsa-miR-182 is probably related to the apoptosis-related genes such as cytochrome C (Cycs C) and calcineurin subunit CnB (PPP3R1) in nucleus pulposus cells.
OBJECTIVE:To determine whether miR-182 plays a regulatory role in nucleus pulposus cel apoptosis by detecting the relative gene expression levels after transfecting miR-182 with Cycs C and PPP3R1 into nucleus pulposus cel s via plasmid delivery.
METHODS:After a bioinformatics prediction about miR-182, miR-182 and target genes were transfected into the nucleus pulposus cel s, and at the same time, blank control group was established. Then the expression levels of the target genes were detected through cel lysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:miR-182 significantly inhibited the expression of Cycs C in nucleus pulposus cel s compared with the blank control group (P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, miR-182 made no inhibitory effect on the expression of PPP3R1. These findings suggest that miR-182 may play a regulatory part in nucleus pulposus cel apoptosis by inhibiting the expression of Cycs C.
