BACKGROUND:Increasing studies have found that, percutaneous vertebroplasty and bone cement are characterized by few traumas, few bleeding, simple operation, rapid recovery, rapid pain relief, and effective efficacy. However, tumor recurrence, symptom improvement, bone cement leakage and other complications make people controversial. OBJECTIVE: To explore and summarize clinical outcomes and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty and bone cement for treating symptomatic vertebral hemangioma. METHODS:Fifty-two cases patients of symptomatic vertebral hemangioma (including 21 male and 31 female, aged 16-63 years) were treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty and bone cement. The lesions were found at T5-T12 in 36 cases and at L1-L3 RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Al 52 patients were folowed up for at least 6 months after the operation. The Visual Analogue Scale and Oswestry Disability Index were significantly increased at 1 day, 3 weeks and 6 months post-surgery, when compared to before surgery (P< 0.05); the modified Macnab evaluation was excelent in 40 cases, good in 7 cases, fair in 3 cases, and poor in 2 cases, and the excelent and good rate was 90%. Only one patient had recurrence at 6 months after surgery and one patient had the leakage of bone cement. No other complications were found. Percutaneous vertebroplasty and bone cement could effectively cure vertebral hemangioma and relieve the pain, which is a safe treatment. in 16 cases. Clinical outcomes such as Visual Analogue Scale, Oswestry Disability Index and modified Macnab criteria, as wel as complication before and after surgery were evaluated.

Objective To compare the clinical effect and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty between unipedicular and bipedicular approach for patients with osteoporosis vertebral compressive fractures. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on 147 patients with single osteoporotic vertebral compressive fractures from 2008 to 2014. Ninety-five cases were treated by PVP via a unipedicular approach (unipedicular group) and 52 cases were treated by the bipedicular approach (bipedicular group). The operation time, Cobb, frequency of X-ray exposure,complications like bone cement and postoperative VAS score were compared. Results No significant differences on the VAS score, cobb and complications were found (P > 0.05). However, there were significant differences on the operation time and X-ray exposure frequency (P<0.05). Conclusions No significant differences on clinical effects were found between the unipedicular and the bipedicular approach to percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporosis vertebral compressive fractures. However, the unipedicular approach can shorten the operation time and reduce X-ray exposure.

Objective To evaluate the prtognostic significance of preoperative serum extracellular matrix protein 1 ( ECM1 ) levels in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Preoperative serum levels of ECM1 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 117 HCC patients and 53 healthy volunteers.Corrrlations to the clinicopathological characteristics and patients survival were analyzed.Results ECM1 were detected in all the samples of 117 HCC patients and 53 healthy volunteers,the median serum ECM1 level in HCC patients was significantly higher than that in healthy volunteers ( 166.39 vs 108.06 pg/ml,Z =- 7.805,P ＜ 0.001 ).Median serum ECM 1 levels were significantly higher in patients with invasive phenotypes,such as larger tumor size (Z =- 3.454,P =0.001 ),multiple nodule ( Z =- 2.201,P =0.028 ),vascular invasion ( Z =- 4.685,P ＜ 0.001 ),and advanced TN M stage ( Z =-4.610,P ＜ 0.001 ).Patients with lower serum ECM1 level (≤ 180 pg/ml ) have significantly better overall and disease free survival thanthose with higher levels ( ＞ 180 pg/ml).By Cox proportional-hazard model multivariate analysis,high serum ECM1 level ( ＞ 180 pg/ml) was an independent factor for OS and DFS in HCC patients.Conclusions Serum ECM1 levels are significantly correhted to the invasive phenotypes and survival rate.Serum ECM1 level could be used as a predictive marker for HCC recurrence and prognostic factor of HCC patients after surgery.

Objective To evaluate the apparant diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of cerebellar and the middle cerebellar peduncles in the differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson disease (PD). Methods Conventional MRI and DWI were performed in 18 clinically proved MSA patients with 7 cases of early cases (early-stage MSA group), 19 PD patients (PD group) and 18 agematched normal controls (the control group). DWI was performed using a single shot-spin echo-echo planar imaging sequences, and ADC values were measured in the ROIs (0. 16 cm2) of the bilateral cerebellum, the middle cerebellar peduncles and cerebral white matter. Then one way ANOVA test was used for statistical analysis. Results Of the 18 MSA patients, 11 had MR abnormalities, 8 had hot-cross bun sign in the pens on T2-weighted images, 11 patients had pontine, cerebellar and medulla oblongata atrophy, 10 patients had atrophy of the middle cerebellar peduncles, 2 patients had hyperintense rim of the putamen and putaminal atrophy on T2-weighted images. The ADC values in the middle cerebellar peduncles were significantly increased in the MSA group[ (0. 98 ±0. 07) × 103 mm2/s] and early-stnge MSA group [ (0. 95 ±0. 05) ×103 mm2/s] as compared to PD group [ (0. 77 ±0. 04) × 103 mm2/s] and control group[ (0. 78 ±0. 04) ×103 mm2/s]. There was statistical significant difference among them (F = 91.049,55. 301, P ＜ 0.01 ).There was no overlap in the distribution of ADC values of the middle cerebellar peduncles among the MSA group [ (0.86-1.13 ) × 103 mm2/s ], early-stage MSA group [ (0. 86-1.02 ) × 103 mm2/s ] and PD group [ (0. 68-0. 84) × 103 mm2/s] and the control group [ (0. 69-0. 82) × 103 mm2/s]. The ADC values in the cerebellum were significantly increased in the MSA group[ (0. 95 ±0. 09) × 103 mm2/s] and early-stage MSA group [ (0. 92 ±0. 07) × 103 mm2/s] as compared to PD group [ (0. 78 ±0. 05) × 103 mm2/s] and control group[ (0. 79 ± 0. 05 ) × 103 mm2/s ]. Statistically significant difference was found among them (F =39. 274,18. 623 ,P ＜0. 01 ). There was overlap in the distribution of ADC values of the cerebellum [ MSAgroup(0. 80-1.10) × 103 mm2/s,early stage MSA group (0. 80-0. 99) × 103 mm2/s,PD group(0. 72-0. 90) × 103 mm2/s,control group (0. 71-0. 87) × 103 mm2/s]. There was no significant difference among the ADC values of MSA group, MSA group(early stages) and PD group and the control group in the cerebral white matter( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions ADC values in the cerebellum and the middle cerebellar peduncles have very important significance in differential diagnosis between MSA and PD.
