Tandem-pore-domain potassium channels are a diverse and highly regulated superfamily of channels that are thought to provide baseline regulation of membrane excitability. Of these, TREK are highly expressed in human CNS. TREK can be regulated by both physical and chemical factors. Lately, study on knockout animals suggested that TREK-1 might participate in the process of general anesthesia of some anesthetics.

Evaluated by Tagner rating,excellent outcomes were found in 17 cases,good in 4 cases,satisfactory results in 100% cases.Conclusion The arthroscopic microfracture technique in treatment of the patella cartilage fracture method is simple,easy to operate,can significantly improve knee function and pain,as well as the quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of anterolateral decompression and internal fixation on the treatment of old thoracolumbar vertebrae fracture with associated incomplete paraplegia. Method the clinical findings of 26 cases with old thoracolumber vertebrae fracture with associated incomplete paraplegia treated by anterolateral decompression and internal fixing were reviewed retrospectively. Results All cases were followed up for 6 months through 2.5 years. The angle of kyphosis was 23?preoperatively and 6?postoperatively. According to Frankel's grading, there were two cases at grade A, three at grade B, five at grade C, seven at grade D, nine at grade E before operation and one at grade A, three at grade B, four at grade C, six at grade D and 12 at grade E after operation. Conclusion Anterolateral decompression and internal fixation is the treatment of choice for the old thoracolumber vertebrae fracture associated with incomplete paraplegia, especially for spinal deficit generated by displacement of the middle column.

Objective To exoplore the causes in healing difficulties of osteoporotic fracture, and to study the feasible approaches and methods for clinical treatment of osteoporotic fracture. Methods Forty female Sprague-Dawley rats, used as donor animals, were divided randomly into ovariectomized (OVX) group and control (CON) group, with each group of 20 animals. OVX group was subjected to bilateral ovariectomy and CON group was subjected to sham operation. Four months after surgery, the rats were sacrificed, and long bones of the extremities were harvested respectively for preparation of bone matrix gelatin (BMG) in terms of Urist's method. BMG implants obtained from OVX and CON rats were implanted into left and right femoral muscle pouches respectively of 17 female SD rats. The host rats were killed after 14-day feeding, and tissue block of BMG implants were removed for histologic study, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and calcium content (CA) determination, respectively. Results ALP activity of BMG tissue block from OVX group was (7.22? 2.59)U/g, and that from CON group was (12.01?6.18)U/g. Significant difference was found between the two groups (P

Objective To analyze clinicopathologic features and treatment strategy of postsurgical incidental papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC).Methods A total of 305 patients undergoing surgery for thyroid diseases from Apr.2012 to Mar.2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 305 patients,19 patients(18 females and 1 male)showed PTMC incidentally after surgery.The mean age was (43.2 ± 12.8)years (ranging from 23 to 67 years old).All patients underwent subtotal thyroidectomy,including 17 endoscopic surgery and 2 open surgery.All frozen sections were benign during operation while pathologic results were PTMC after surgery.The average size of tumors was(2.2 ± 1.5) mm which all was unicentric with no lymph node enlargement intraoperatively.Immunohistochemistry showed that the positive rate of cytokeratin 19,galectin-3,mesothelial cell,and CD56 was 87.5％,43.8％,81.3％ and 18.8％,respectively.There were 4 cases of B-raf V600E mutation found in 6 patients.All patients discharged 1 to 3 days after surgical treatment with no complication and received levothyroxine therapy with a suppressive dose of thyrotropin(TSH).131I therapy was not given.Conclusions PTMC is found more common in female and younger age under 45 years.Tumor is usually unicentric and less than 5 mm.Lymph node metastasis is rare.Immunohistochemistry and B-raf V600E mutant test can help the diagnosis.Initial endoscopic subtotal thyroidectomy is effective.There is no need of further surgery and 131I therapy.
