ObjectiveTo study the effect of different treatment on prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc. Methods 169 patients with prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc were divided into two groups, the contral group treated with traction and massage, and the comprehensive group treated with acupuncture, physical therapy, and phsiotherapy besides traction and massage. The assessment included index and rate in improvement and efficiency of rehabilitation. Results The index and rate in improvement and efficiency of rehabilitation is better in the comprehensive group than in the contral group. The course of treatment in the comprehensive group is shorter than that in the contral group.

Aim To investigate the effects of angiotensinI-converting enzyme inhibitor enalaprilat on proliferation,Endothelin-1 and Nitric oxide System of neonatal cardiac fibroblasts and to probe its mechanism of inhibiting cardiac fibrosis.Methods CFb was isolated by trypsin digestion method.MTT colorimetric assay was adopted to evaluate cell proliferation,HYP method was used to test the collagen synthesis;FCM for cell cycle;Nitric acid reductase method,radio-immunological method was used to detect NO content and ET-1 activity respectively.Results Ena decreased contents of MTT and HYP dramatically.The percentage ratio of phase G0/G1 was increaseded and the percentage radio of phase S was decreased.NO content was increased and ET-1 activity was dropped in a dose and time-dependent manner.Conclusion The anti-proliferative effects of Ena on CFb can be attributed to dropping endothelin-1 activity and enhancing Nitric oxide.

BACKGROUND:Selection of resin core materials may affect the overal strength of the fiber posts.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the overal flexural strength of five kinds of resin core materials combined with glass fiber posts.
METHODS:Fifty viva glass fiber posts were randomly divided into five groups respectively binding to five different resin materials for repair:group A, MEDENTAL dual curing resin cement+glass fiber post;Group B, Tina dual curing resin cement+glass fiber post;group C, Bisco BisCem+glass fiber post;group D, 3M nano composite resin curing light P60+glass fiber post;group E, PULPDENT dual curing resin cement+glass fiber post. The root canals were embedded with self-curing plastic, and fixed in the universal testing machine. The load in tooth length axis was added onto the core at a 135° angle with a loading speed of 1.0 mm/min, until the fracture. Then, the stress at fracture and the fracture mode were measured.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The flexural strength was (83.248±7.857) N in group, (89.230±4.326) N in group B, (95.188±5.147) N in group C, (76.646±6.463) N in group D, and (83.064±3.964) N in group E. Except groups A and E, there were significant differences between every two groups (P<0.05). These findings indicate that Bisco BisCem resin cement binding to the fiber post can obtain a higher flexural strength.

Objective Acute respiratory dysfunction (ARD) can occur after aortic surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulation arrest, but relatively little is known about acute respiratory dysfunction in the patients with type A aortic dissection. This study aims to analyze the independent risk factors of acute respiratory dysfunction after A type aortic dissection surgery and to assess possible prevention and treatment option in the future. Methods Clinical data of the 252 patients including 193 male patients and 59 female patients who underwent type A aortic dissection surgery from February 2009 to October 2010 were collected. The mean age was 47 years. Postoperative acute respiratory dysfunction was defined as oxygenation impairment (PaO2/FiO2 ＜ 150) that occurred within 72 h of surgery except pleural effusion, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism and haemato-/ pneumothorax. There were 187 acute A type aortic dissection patients and 65 chronic type A aortic dissection patients. Clinical characteristics including age, gender, weight, height, history of hypertension, history of smoking, preoperative complications such as preoperative shock and acute renal failure, pericardial effusion, previous cardiac surgery, time from event to surgery, malperfusion syndrome, cardiopulmonary time, cross-clamp time,deep hypothermia circulation arrest time, surgical procedure, duration of intensive care unit stay and postoperative complications including tracheotomy, dialysis dependent renal failure and hospital mortality were gathered. Arterial blood analysis, chest X ray, ventilator parameters, number of blood transfusion and flood balance were assayed after operation. All the factors were evaluated by means of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify relative risk factors of ARD. Results Acute respiratory dysfunction occurred in 32 (12.7% ) patients. The in-hospital mortality was significant difference between acute respiratory dysfunction group and non- acute respiratory dysfunction group (P ＜ 0.05). The value of BMI, incidence of acute aortic dissection, preoperative SBP level, cardio-pulmonary bypass time, aortic clamp time and total arch replacement in acute respiratory dysfunction group were significantly higher than the values in non- acute respiratory dysfunction group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed blood transfusion more than 10 units and cardio-pulmonary bypass time more than 160 minutes were independent risk factors of early stage acute respiratory dysfunction after type A aortic dissection surgery.Conclusion Acute respiratory dysfunction after type A aortic dissection was a severe early stage postoperative complication and was associated with in-hospital mortality. The patients in acute aortic dissection were prone to have acute respiratory dysfunction. The independent risk factors of acute respiratory dysfunction included blood transfusion more than 10 units and cardio-pulmonary bypass time more than 160 minutes.
