Objective To compare the bony fusion in different degrees of vertebral plate hinge fracture after single open-door cervical expansive laminoplasty with centerpiece mini-plate fixation.Methods The clinical data of 79 patients received the unilateral simple open-door cervical expansive laminoplasty with centerpiece mini-plate fixation from January 2010 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The vertebral plate hinge fracture was divided into incomplete fracture and complete fracture according to thepostoperative CT scan.The complete fracture was divided into four types:type Ⅰ in which there was no displacement;type Ⅱ in which there was mild to moderate displacement;type Ⅲ in which there was complete displacement or separated; type Ⅳ in which there was hinge' s collapse into cervical canal.The hinge fracture healing was observed and the difference of different types of fracture healing rate was compared.Results Follow-up of 12-45 (21.2 ± 5.6) months.CT scan found 395 segments 1 week after the operation,vertebral plate hinge complete fracture accounted for 58.2％ (230/395).And type Ⅰ accounted for 66.1％ (152/230),type Ⅱ accounted for 25.7％(59/230),type Ⅲ accounted for 6.5％(15/230) and type Ⅳ accounted for 1.7％ (4/230).The fusion rate of incomplete fracture at 6 months after the operation was higher than that complete fracture [97.6％(161/165) vs.80.9％(186/230)],there was significant difference (P＜ 0.05).The fracture rate in different types of complete fracture at 3,6 months after the operation had significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Type Ⅲ fracture had the lowest healing rate.Conclusion Type Ⅰ fracture is the major type for vertebral plate hinge complete fracture,complete fracture get a relatively bad bony fusion and type Ⅲ fracture has the lowest healing rate.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of shoulder-three-points warm needling moxibustion plus conventional rehabilitation in recovery from arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.Method Seventy patients who had undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for rotator cuff injury were enrolled and randomly allocated to groups A and B, 35 cases each. Group A received conventional rehabilitation and group B, shoulder-three-points warm needling moxibustion in addition. Functional activity and pain in the affected shoulder were scored using the American Shoulder Elbow Scale (ASES), the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Shoulder Scale and the Constant-Murley Shoulder Outcome Score in the two groups before and after treatment.Result There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the ASES, UCLA and Constant-Murley scores in the two groups (P<0.01). After treatment, the scores were higher in group B than in group A, but there was no significant difference in the UCLA function subscore (P>0.05) and a significant difference in the UCLA pain subscore (P<0.01) between groups A and B. Conclusion shoulder-three-points warm needling moxibustion plus conventional rehabilitation training can markedly promote postoperative rehabilitation and especially relieve postoperative pain in patients with rotator cuff injury. It provides a new idea for clinical shoulder rehabilitation in the future.

Objective To assess these in a consecutive series of patients with ICC treated surgically. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 189 ICC patients undergoing surgery.Surgical results and survival were evaluated and compared among different subgroups of patients.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors.Results R0,R1,R2 resection and exploratory laparotomy were obtained in 63,84,31 and 11 patients,respectively.The overall 5 -year survival rates for the entire cohort were 16.8%,with corresponding rates of 26.3% for patients with R0 resection;14.3% for patients with R1 resection;6.8% for patients with R2 resection;and 0.0% for patients with an exploratory laparotomy.Independent factors for poor survival included positive resection margin,multiple tumors,beta - catenin nuclear expression and lymph node metastasis. Conclusion R0 resection offers the best possibility of long -term survival,but the chance of a R0 resection is low when surgery is performed for potential resectable ICC.Patients with characteristics of beta -catenin nuclear expres-sion,multiple tumors and lymph node metastasis are indicated to surgery which is needed to be further studied.

The purpose of education is to cultivate talents who can master the ability of self-learning lifelong. With the rapid development of multimedia technology, the knowledge carrier represented by micro curriculum plays a very important role in improving students' self-learning ability. In traditional Chinese medicine college, due to the short of time, weak learning foundation, the ability of self-learning is hard to improve in the modern medical courses such as biochemistry. This is not conducive to the cultivation of modern talents of Chinese medicine. In this paper, we chose the biochemistry teaching in TCM college as an example, and discuss how we can make the application of micro courses reasonably in the teaching process. This study was regarded as a starting to improve the students' self-learning ability effectively.

Objective To investigate the roles of TrkA and TrkB in radiation-induced hippocampal neurogenesis impairment.Methods Fifty-six rats were randomized into radiation group and sham control group.Radiation group received whole brain irradiation at a single dose of 10 Gy.The hippocampus were separated from rats in day 1,day 3,day 14 and 1 month after irradiation.Western blot and RT-PCR were applied to detect the protein levels and mRNA levels.Golgi staining was used to observe the dendritic spine of hippocampus.Immunofluorescence was performed to detect neural precursor's proliferation.Results Compared with control group,the numbers of dendritic spine significantly decreased after irradiation and its shape change obviously.Immunofluorescence showed a significant decrease in neural precursor's proliferation comparing with control group (t =6.49,P ＜ 0.05).Protein level of TrkA expression increased (t =2.64,3.06,4.80,2.64,P ＜ 0.05),while the levels of TrkB protein expression decreased significantly (t =4.59,3.06,2.81,2.57,P ＜ 0.05).The mRNA level of TrkA expressions increased (t =4.57,3.06,5.39,5.86,P ＜ 0.05),while the mRNA level of TrkB decreased (t =14.87,11.69,4.98,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions As a signaling pathways downstream of NGF and BDNF,TrkA and TrkB may play an important role in radiation-induced neurogenesis impairment.

s: Objective To explore the role of microRNA-206 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in the pathogenesis and development of childhood asthma. Methods Twenty-seven asthmatic children and 25 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated in both healthy subjects and asthmatic children in acute attack and remission stages. Total RNAs were extracted from PBMC stimulated by PMA and ionomycin, and then the RNA was reversely transcribed into cDNA. The expressions of microRNA-206 and Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) and IL-17 mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) method. Results There was signiifcant difference of microRNA-206 levels among asthmatic children in attack stage and in remission stage and normal controls (F=46.58~72.81, P=0.000). Through pair-wise comparison, the microRNA-206 levels of asthmatic children in attack stage were signiifcantly lower than those in remission stage and normal control groups (P<0.01). The KLF4 and IL-17 mRNA levels of asthmatic children in attack stage were signiif-cantly higher than those in remission stage and normal control groups (P<0.01). There was no signiifcant difference of miR-206, KLF4 and IL-17 mRNA between asthmatic children in remission stage and the healthy controls (P>0.05). Furthermore, a negative correlation was found between the expression of miR-206 and KLF4 (r=–0.66, P<0.01) and between the expression of miR-206 and IL-17 mRNA (r=–0.81, P<0.01) in asthmatic children in attack stage. A positive correlation was also found between KLF4 and IL-17 mRNA in asthmatic children in attack stage (r=0.70, P<0.01). Conclusions The expression of miR-206 is decreased in asthmatic children, and miR-206 might be involved in the pathogenesis and development of asthma.
