BACKGROUND:For the elderly osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fractures without nerve root symptoms,it is difficult to choose between traditional surgical and conservative treatment,because they have their advantages and disadvantages.How to select their advantages and to discard their disadvantages? Concept of minimal invasion builds a new platform and provides a new way of thinking and therapeutic tool.OBJECTIVE:To design and develop a new thoracolumbar distraction reduction devicein vitro in the repair of elderly osteoporotic burst fractures.METHODS:We designed and developed a new type of thoracic and lumbar spinein vitrodistraction reduction device,including bracket,guide pin and two holow screws.Its characteristic is that it also contained distractor,pressurizer and wrench.In accordance with the theory of muscles as important as bones and actual anatomical condition,bone fragment in the spine canal was restored using percutaneous ligament reconstructive technique.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:This thoracic and lumbar spinein vitro distraction reduction device combined with ligament reconstructive technique can be used in elderly osteoporotic burst fractures and elderly osteoporotic compression fractures.It is percutaneous minimaly invasive operation,can restore the height of anterior and central cylinders and correct Cobb's angle through multi angle distraction.Simultaneously,percutaneousvertebroplasty can be utilized.Bone cement was infused in the injured vertebra.According to patients' economic situation,percutaneous baloon kyphoplasty can be employed.These can provide an inexpensive,less-pain,less-invasive way to repair.

Object To determine the rationality of prescription of XIAOYU TABLETS. (Tablet for the elimination of blood stasis). Methods The effects of XIAOYU TABLETS and its individual constituents on endothelin 1 and nitric oxide in atherosclerotic rabbits were observed and compared. Results XIAOYU TABLETS showed stronger actions than its individual constituents (extract of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae or Fructus Crataegi) in decreasing the contents of endothelin 1 in plasma and atherosclerotic vessel wall and increasing the contents of nitric oxide in serum and atherosclerotic vessel wall. Conclusion The combine use of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae and Fructus Crataegi extracts showed an obvious synergistic effect on reduction of endothelin 1 and elevation of nitric oxide in atherosclerotic rabbits.

Objective:To study the action of Xinnaotong on adhesion molecule expression by cultured endothelial cells and platelets. Methods: Tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF ?) stimulated ICAM I expression on the cell surface was studied with human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC).Thrombin stimulated expression of platelet P selectin was studied with human blood platelets. Adhesion molecule expression was measured by flow cytometry. Results: ICAM I molecule expression on HUVEC was significantly stimulated by TNF ?. The stimulatory effect of TNF ? on HUVEC was inhibited by Xinnaotong(0.25~2g/L) in a concentration dependent manner. The same dose of Xinnaotong can inhibit the p selectin expression on human blood platelets stimulated by thrombin. Conclusion: Xinnaotong inhibites expression of adhesion molecues(ICAM I, p selectin) in HUVEC and in human blood platelets.

Objective To explore the effect of the thyroid morphologic change,the initiating treatment time and the thyroid function(serum FT_4,TSH)on mental development in children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH).Methods After diagnosed,52 cases of CH were orally administrated with L-T_4,then their mental and physical development were monitored and thyroid morphologic changes were observed by thyroid imaging(~(99m)TcO_4) and type B ultrasonography.The Bayley test was performed at the age of 10 to 30 months and expressed as mental developmental index(MDI)and psychomotor developmental index(PDI).Analysis was conducted upon treatment timing and thyroid morphologic changes.Results The MDI in those cases with morphologic abnormalities treated within 90 days was significantly lower than that with normal morphology(91?20 vs 105?15,P

Serum creatinine was determined by enzymatic method.99mTc-GFR was measured by 99mTc-DTPA dynamic renal imaging and considered as GFR marker in 210 males and 180 females with type 2 diabetes,eGFR was calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula,MDRD equation7,abbreviated MDRD equation,modified MDRD equation for Chinese (c-7GFR4 and c-aGFR4),and CKD-EPI equation.They were analyzed by correlation,regression,Bland-Altman analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.The correlation coefficients for Cockcroft-Gault formula,MDRD equation7,abbreviated MDRD equation,c-7GFR4,c-aGFR4,and CKD-EPI equation were 0.79,0.76,0.77,0.76,0.76,0.81 respectively.And the differences were-14.99,-18.85,-23.79,-25.85,-32.07,and-7.16,respectively.The area under ROC curves were 0.91,0.88,0.89,0.88,0.90,and 0.92,respeetively.Kappa values were 0.67、0.52、0.39、0.49、0.46、0.54respectively.The CKD-EPI equation seams to be the most accurate measurement among the six methods when the serum creatinine was determined by enzymatic method in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the way to provide suitable pharmacecaical care for antineophastic drug-induced ADR by clinical pharmacists. METHODS:For one case of 5-FU chemotherapy-induced neutropenia associated with fever and diarrhea, clinical pharmacists provided advices on antibacterial treatment,including imipenem/cilastatin 0.5 g,q6 h,ivgtt;norvancomycin 0.4 g,q6 h,po;levofloxacin 0.4 g,qd,ivgtt;loperamide with initial dose of 4 mg for anti-diarrheal medication,maintaining at 2 mg,q4 h. RESULTS:After 22 days of appropriate antibacterial and anti-diarrheal treatment,the patient's body temperature and he-mogram returned to normal,diarrhea stopped and β-HCG decreased to 61.58 U/L;then the patient was discharged from hospital. CONCLUSIONS:It is beneficial to optimize chemotherapy plan and ADR disposal,and ensure the safety of the treatment that clini-cal pharmacists assist physicans to optimize therapy plan and provide pharmaceutical care.
