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.

OBJECTIVE To survey and assess the use of antibiotic drugs in our hospital before and after the enactment of The Antibiotics Use Guideline by the Ministry of Health.METHODS To determine antibiotic drugs usage rate,combined use conditions as well as other factors in inpatients before and after the enactment of the guideline.RESULTS After the enactment of the guideline,the usage rate of antibiotic drugs was much lower than before,whereas there were still some shortcomings in the combined drug use conditions in our hospital.CONCLUSIONS The medical workers should administer antibiotic drugs in a more reasonable way in order to guarantee the safety,long term health right and living quality.

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 explore the effects of nutritional intervention on body composition,blood biochemical parameters and blood pressure of overweight adults with metabolic syndrome.Methods Forty overweight adults with metabolic syndrome (body mass index (BMI) ＞ 28.0 kg/m2,waist circunference ≥85 cm(for male)or ≥80 cm(for female))participated in this investigation.Changes of serum lipid profiles,blood glucose,blood pressure and other indicators were compaired before and after 2-months'intervention.SPSS 18.0 Software was used for data analysis.Results After two rnonths' nutritional intervention,body weight,body fat,BMI,visceral fat area and waist hip ratio were significantly improved(t =17.02,11.07,5.11,10.35,9.58 ; P ＜ 0.05).The glutamic-pyruvic transaminase,glutamic-oxalacetic transaminease,cholesterol,triacylglycerol,fasting blood-glucose,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were also significantly improved after nutrition intervention(t =2.87,2.91,3.33,2.24,2.56,5.74,6.99 ;P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Nutrition intervention may contribute to improved levels of blood pressure,blood glucose and serum lipid profiles of obesity individuals through body weight and body fat control and lead to reduced insulin resistance caused by obesity.

AIM: To study the effect of mild hypothermia on energy metabolism and hydroxyl radical production as well as delayed neuronal death (DND) in hippocampus during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in gerbils. METHODS: Forebrain ischemia was induced by occluding bilateral common carotid arteries with aneurysm clamps for 10 min in gerbils. The DND in hippocampal CA1 sector was assessed by histological examination, and hydroxyl radical, ATP (adenosine triphosphate), ADP (adenosine diphosphate),AMP (adenosine monophosphate) levels were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical or ultraviolet detection. RESULTS: The number of survival neuronal in hippocampal CA1 sector in mild hypothermia + I/R group was more than that in I/R group after ischemia/reperfusion 96 h. The content of 2,3-DHBA (2,3- dihydroxybenzoic acid) in hippocampus in I/R group was much higher than those in sham operation and mild hypothermia + I/R group after reperfusion 6 h (P

Objective: To determine the rationality of prescription of Xiaoyu tablets. Methods: The effects of Xiaoyu tablets and its single constituents on endothelin-1(ET-1) and nitric oxide(NO) in atherosclerotic rabbits were observed. Results: Xiaoyu tablets showed stronger actions than its single constituents (extract of radix salviae miltiorrhizae or fructus crataegi) in decreasing the contents of ET-1 in plasma and atherosclerotic vessel wall and increasing the contents of NO in serum and atherosclerotic vessel wall. Conclusion: There was the obvious synergism on reduction of ET-1 and elevation of NO in atheroscleerotic rabbits when both extracts of the Chinese herbal medicines were simultaneously used.

Objective To establish a method for the determination of arsenic and copper in Chinese patent medicines.Methods Digested by microwave,the content of arsenic in Liuwei Dihuang Pill (prepared with water and honey) was measured by sequence flowing injection-hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrometry and content of copper by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Effects of factors,including digestion temperature,smashing granularity of samples,proportion of digestive ingredients,volume of digestive agents,digestion procedure and digestion time,on the content determination were studied.Results Recoveries of arsenic and copper were 100.8%～114.3%and 94.4%～110.2%respectively under optimum conditions.Conclusion This method is simple and effective for the content determination of heavy mental in Chinese patent medicines.

Objective To investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and positive degree in patients with cervical spondylosis.Method A questionnaire survey was conducted among 98 patients with cervical spondylosis.Results The self-efficacy score was 6.30±1.56,the score on the positive degree was 53.76 ±12.53.The self-efficacy and positive degrees were positively correlated (r=0.531,P＜0.001).Conclusions The patient's self-efficacy and positive degree are at medium level.Nursing staff should take corresponding measures to improve self-efficacy of cervical spondylosis patients,in order to improve its positive degree and achieve the purpose of effective self-management and health promotion.
