Based on the failure phenomenon of traction bed hydraulic transmission device, the composition and working principle analysis of the hydraulic system, concluded that failure of the hydraulic transmission device is due to the pressure gauge damaged or blocked between the tubing and the overflow valve, which allows users to quickly troubleshoot.

BACKGROUND:Effects of pedicle screw placement on fracture reduction or stability of mechanics are influenced by various factors. Pedicle screw fixation failure is mainly due to fracture, loosening and fatigue. The main influential factors for biomechanical stability of pedicle screw are length and diameter. The research on the depth is less. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the relationship between pedicle screw placement depth of vertebral body and the fixed stability based on the biomechanics. METHODS: A model of single vertebral compression fractures was made in 15 pigs aged 5 months on L2 vertebral specimen. According to the length of anteroposterior diameter, vertebral pedicle screws were inserted in different depths (80%, 90% and 100% of anteroposterior diameter). After fixation, specimens were loaded 10 000 times at the frequency of 0.5 Hz (340±125) N on a WDT-10KN type universal material testing machine. Ranges of motion at anteflexion, backward extension, left bending and right bending and the maximum axial pulout force were measured in each group, and the difference of intergroup data was compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Ranges of motion at anteflexion, backward extension, left bending and right bending in each group were significantly smaler in the 100% and 90% groups than in the 80% group (P < 0.05), and above parameters were smaler in the 100% group than in the 90% group (P< 0.05). (2) After fatigue test, the maximum axial pulout force was significantly larger in the 100% and 90% groups than in the 80% group (P< 0.05), and above data were significantly larger in the 100% group than in the 90% group (P < 0.05). (3) Results indicate that the depth into the vertebral body was significantly associated with its fixed stability. The deeper the depth into the vertebral body, the stronger the vertebral stability was: 100% group > 90% group > 80% group.

Objective To investigate the effects of compound danshen dripping pill (CDDP) on carotid intima￣media thickness (CIMT) and cardiac function in patients newly diagnosed as hypothyroidism. Methods The total of 40 subclinical hypothyroidism patients and 40 hypothyroidism cases was enrolled.The clinical hypothyroidism patients were treated with L￣T4 as the conventional treatment, and comprehensive CDDP plus levothyroxine (L￣T4 ) as treated groups (CDDP group) for 6 months. The therapeutic effect was evaluated by combining with data of thyroid function, blood lipid profile and ultrasound.The 40 healthy subjects were chosen as normal control group. Results Compared with normal control group, the levels of TC and LDL￣C were higher (P<0.05) in subclinical hypothyroidism group, which were more obvious in the clinical hypothyroidism group (P<0.01), CIMT increased markedly (P<0.05), the left ventricular systolic functions (ejection fraction) and diastolic functions (mitral flow velocity E and A wave ratio) were markedly decreased (P<0.05) in the clinical hypothyroidism group.Upon treatment, the blood￣lipids were improved (P<0.05), CIMT were reduced (P<0.05), the left ventricular functions were restored to near normal with the attainment of euthyroidism in both groups of clinical hypothyroidism;the reduction of CIMT and the improvement of the left ventricular functions were faster in CDDP group than that in the conventional treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion Disturbance of blood lipid in hypothyroidism patients, CIMT growth and impaired left ventricular function objectively indicate the existence of cardiac and cerebral vascular risk, while CDDP helps improving lipid metabolism, reversing CIMT and cardiac function, reducing cardiovascular risk, blocking or delaying cardiovascular event chains.

With the improvement of living standard, the requirement of artificial joint material is ever increasing. The development of meted artificial joint, high polymer artificial joint and ceramic-made artificial joint, which are widely used in joint replacement, are introduced. Advantages and disadvantages of these materials are discussed, as well as the required improvement to these three materials. Development on metal-to-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty and its clinical application is introduced. Now that no material with good biocompatibility, good biomechanical compatibility, good biological aasociativity and satisfied life-span has yet been found, compound material artificial joint may be the focus of the research in future.
