BACKGROUND:Atlantoaxial anatomical structures were special. Compared with thoracolumbar vertebrae, there is no fixed anatomical marker for screw implantation. Moreover, pedicle structural variation is great. The current consensus view is to suggest an individualized program of pedicle screws. The development of orthopedic digital software technology provides a novel manner for preoperative design.
OBJECTIVE:To original y design 3D matrix model, to observe atlas pedicle channel, pedicle screw safety zone, to measure optimal program for screw fixation, and to simplify preoperative design of entering pedicle screw.
METHODS:Continuous atlas CT data of 12 healthy adults in picture archiving and communication system of People’s Hospital, Three Gorges University were imported into Mimics 10.01 software. There were seven males and five females, at the age of 30-65 years old, averagely 45 years. After three-dimensional reconstruction, the three-dimensional reconstruction models were imported into 3Dmax 2009 as .dwg format. The reference three-dimensional planes and the sites of nail insertion were determined by the atlas modeling. The modeling consisted of 17×17×2 elements and the transverse section angles ranged from 0° to 40° and the sagittal section angles ranged from 0° to 40° with a space of 2.5°. 578 elements were used to simulate pedicle screw array model. Perspective observation showed that the diameter was 3.5 mm, and length was 22 mm in pedicle channel. Thus, safety area, best screw channel and screw angle were analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The total number of elements in the matrix study was 17×17×2×12 in 12 subjects. 175 screws in total of 6 936 units could safely meet the operative standard. No significant difference in the number of pedicle screw between left and right sides (P>0.05). Results indicated that the digital three-dimensional modeling technology is an effective, simple, accurate way in the preoperative design and measurement for atlas pedicle surgery.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the correlation between number of tissue eosinophils(Eos) and blood Eos levels in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSwNP), and to investigate if tissue and blood eosinophilia predicts disease severity and prognosis in CRSwNP. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 102 patients, who diagnosed with CRSwNP was carried out in this study. Surgical specimens were evaluated for degree of tissue Eos, which was compared with blood Eos. Patients were divided into two groups according to the results of endoscopy one year after surgery: recurrent and non-recurrent group. Statistical analysis was performed to compare tissue and blood Eos and CT Lund-Mackay scores. RESULTS Blood and tissue Eos in recurrent group was significantly higher than that in non-recurrent group(P=0.032, 0.033, 0.017). There was not a statistical difference of CT scores between two groups(P =0.089). There was a significant correlation between tissue Eos and absolute number of blood Eos(r=0.637, P=0.000) as well as between tissue Eos and percentage of blood Eos(r=0.542, P=0.000). However Eos and CT scores were not correlated statistically(P>0.05). CONCLUSION Blood Eos levels can predict the degree of Eos infiltration in nasal polyps. Blood and tissue Eos correlate with prognosis.

Background and purpose:Early evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with hepatic cancer is still a diffcult clinical problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of the apparent diffusion coeffcient (ADC) to help predict early disease progression after TACE.Methods:Institutional review board approval was obtained, and all patients signed informed consent. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) (b=50, 500, 1 000 mm2/s) were performed before and 1 month after initiating TACE for 23 patients with hepatic cancer (14 were male, 9 were female; mean age: 53.3 years;range: 21-85 years). Contrast-enhanced MRI was performed 3 months after initiating TACE. Patients were classiifed as either progressing or non-progressing according to RECIST 1.1. The preoperative ADC values of tumor and the ADC values of tumor 1 month after TACE were analyzed by pairedt-test in both progressing and non-progressing group. Unpairedt-test was used to compare ADC parameters between progressing and non-progressing group. In all the 23 hepatic cancer patients, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine a threshold ADC ratio (ADC%) to differentiate progressing from non-progressing patients.Results:Thirteen progressing and 9 non-progressing patients were evaluated. Increase in ADCs of tumor was observed in non-progressing patients at 1 month after TACE compared with preoperative ADCs. There was a signiifcant difference between the 2 groups (P=0.01). In progressing group, preoperative ADCs of tumor were similar to those at 1 month after TACE (P=0.221). There was no significant difference in preoperative ADCs of tumor and ADC% between the progressing and non-progressing groups. In patients with hepatic cancer, 1 month ADC ratio in non-progressing patients were signiifcantly higher than those of progressing patients (P=0.029). Using ROC to evaluate the ability of ADC% could predict early disease pro-gression after TACE. Using -6.455% as the threshold, the area under the ROC curve was 0.867 (95%CI: 0.643-1.000). The sensitivity was 100%, and the speciifcity was 66.7%.Conclusion:One month after TACE, the increases in ADCs of tumor were observed only in the non-progressing group; and the ADC ratio seems to be a promising tool for helping predict the early disease progression after TACE in patients with hepatic cancer.

OBJECTIVE To analyze impulsive-like behaviors of SD rats induced by pramipexole in Y-maze avoidance tasks. METHODS Behaviors of SD rats in Y-maze avoidance tasks were recorded with a camera and analyzed by Noldus Etho Vision XT8 software after acute subcutaneous injection of pramipexole(0.1,1 and 10 mg · kg-1),including right reaction numbers of 20 consecutive avoidance tasks,shuttle number of times between the three arms of Y-maze, distance covered in Y-maze and time spent in safe arms during 20 consecutive avoidance tasks. Then,the prepulse inhibition(PPI)of the startle reflex test was used to assess the effect of pramipexole on sensorimotor gating (SG). Effects of pramipexole on the dialyzed content of monoamine neurotransmitter and its metabolites in the striatum and amygdala of SD rats were measured by microdialysis in vivo. RESULTS Compared with normal control group,the rats of pramipexole group showed a significant increase in the shuttle number of times and distance covered in Y-maze between Y-maze avoidance tasks(P<0.01),but a statistically significant decrease in the time spent in safe arms(P<0.01),while the number of right reactions in Y-maze avoidance tasks was not changed. Such premature responses were quite similar to certain impulsive-compulsive behaviors in rodent models,such as five-choice serial reaction time tasks. In the PPI test,pramipexole displayed an impairing effect on SG(P<0.01). The microdialysis results showed that there was an increase of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the striatum of pramipexole group, but not statistically significant. Monoamine neurotransmitters and their metabolites were not significantly changed in the amygdala. CONCLUSION Pramipexole can induce impulsive-compulsive behaviors in Y-maze avoidance tasks,which might be attributed to impaired SG.

Objective To summarize the experience of reconstruction of Ⅴ and Ⅷ hepatic veins in right lobe (without middle hepatic vein) living donor liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 55 cases of living donor liver transplantation of right lobe without middle hepatic vein were analyzed, and Ⅴ and Ⅷ hepatic veins were reconstructed. All donors underwent evaluation on the basis of vascular anatomy, GRWR and graft volume/ESLV. Fifty-one grafts underwent reconstruction of Ⅴ and Ⅷ hepatic veins with cold-storage cadaveric iliac veins. Great saphenous vein, varicose umbilical veins, recipient intrahepatic portal veins and recipient intrahepatic veins were used respectively in the remaining 4 cases. Results One recipient died of obstruction of out-flow on the postoperative day 43. One recipient was converted to cadaver donor liver transplantation at the 7th day after operation, because of acute liver function failure. The remaining 53 cases recovered successfully. Conclusion Reconstruction of Ⅴ and Ⅷ hepatic veins with proper materials in right lobe (without middle hepatic vein) living donor liver transplantation is feasible, and the effect is satisfactory.
