Objective To explore the current status and influencing factors of fall among the elderly in Niujie area of Beijing so as to provide evidences for prevention. Methods Based on the basic survey of fall in 1703 elderly people, the people were divided into intervention group and control group according to different habitation areas using cluster sampling method. The elderly people in intervention group of 874 were accepted intervention management for one year, including cognitive behavioral intervention, fall-inducing diseases intervention and intervention of elderly static and dynamic behaviors that affected the balance function, so as to help the elderly to master the relevantfactors of fall and preventive measures. Results The annual occurrence rate of fall was 11.7% (200/1703) and the fall injury incidence was 9.0% (152/1703). The prevalence of fall was increased with aging, and it was high in people with balance dysfunction. After one year intervention, the incidence of fall was decreased to 5.2%, while it was 7.6% in control group. Conclusions Cognitive behavior intervention can effectively prevent fall in the elderly, which has an important significance for improving the life quality of the elderly.

Human CD38, a type II glycoprotein, is widely expressed in kinds of tissues and cells. It has been shown to have a wide range of effects.The multifunctional cyclase function of CD38 effects on the regulation of osteoclasts activation, which maybe important in the therapy of osteoporosis.

In the span of the interactions between cells and biomaterials, cell adhesion is the first biological behavior which has important effects on the following biological behaviors including cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. So how to improve cell adhesion of biomaterials has become an important subject of tissue engi- neering. One of the popular methods is the surface modification of biomaterials. This article reviews the development of the research on the surface modification of biomaterials for improving cell adhesion.

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate a rare case of hepatic abscess caused by amebiasis and to discuss the reason of misdiagnosis.METHODS A fifty years old male patient with amebic liver abscess,misdiagnosed as hepatic(carcinoma),was studied.RESULTS The patient with a huge hepatic mass lesion was misdiagnosed as hepatic(carcinoma) and received interventional therapy four times within 13 months.Amebae were found in the(aspiration) of the lesion and in patient′s sputum.The temperature of the patient returned to normal range after(antibiotics) and anti-amebic therapy.CONCLUSIONS Amebic abscess is a clinically rare encountered pathology now.When to make the diagnosis,hepatic carcinoma should be carefully considered and differentiated.

Objective　To evaluate the diagnositic value of exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) in patients with pacemaker-dependnet.Methods　Forty-six patients remained pacemaker dependent with a fixed heart rate throughout ESE and coronary angiographic studies.Results　Thirty-four of 46 patients completed the ESE. Coronary artery disease was confirmed in 28 of 34 who had coronary angiograms. ESE had a sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 83% in pacemaker-dependent patients.Conclusions　ESE has preserved diagnostic utility in pacemaker dependent patients with absolute chronotropic incompetence.

BACKGROUND:Traditional open surgical transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion often needs a broader dissection of the paraspinal soft tissue and longer stretch time of soft tissue, induces greater surgical trauma and more blood loss. Minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) may reduce or avoid these shortcomings. However, MIS-TLIF technique needs a process of learning curve. Correctly understanding the MIS-TLIF technique and dealing with their associated complications, have an important clinical significance. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the MIS-TLIF complications for treatment of lumbar disease, and explore the prevention and treatment strategies. METHODS:Between May 2008 and May 2012, 100 patients with lumbar disease were treated using MIS-TLIF. Al of patients had typical low back pain combined with leg pain, and were ineffective by conservative treatment for 6 months. There were lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome in 42 cases, lumbar spondylolisthesis in 31 cases, and lumbar disc herniation with lateral recess stenosis in 27 cases. The operative levels included L 3/4 in 2 patients, L 4/5 in 28 patients, L 5/S 1 in 50 patients, L 3-L 5 in 2 patients, and L 4-S 1 in 18 patients. The intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:One patient appeared extradural hemorrhage 1 000 mL and was given blood transfusion, no complications were found. Pedicle screw malposition was found in 11 pedicle screws (11/435, 2.5%). Only one patient had new L 5 radicular pain due to impingement by the tip of a bicortical S 1 screw upon the lumbosacral trunk anterior to the sacrum. This screw was re-positioned at a subsequent procedure, with resolution of the radicular pain. Interbody cage malposition was found in 2 patients with 2 cages (2/120, 1.7%) after operations, they showed no clinical symptoms and were not treated. One patient with one cage (1/120, 0.8%) appeared cage displacement during fol ow-up, which required twice revision surgeries, one is cage re-position and the other is posterior interbody fusion. Within one month after operations, two patients had poor visualization in the right pulmonary arteriography, which was diagnosed as pulmonary embolism and was treated with thrombectomy and thrombolysis. No death and other consequence were found. Experimental findings indicate hat, MIS-TLIF is a safe, reliable and effective surgery for treating lumbar diseases, with few complications.

Objective To study the clinical application of posterior approach microendoscopy in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods One hundred and forty-two cases of degenerate lumbar spinal stenosis were treated by posterior approach limited decompression, total or semi laminectomy and decompression, or fenestration decompression from February 2000 to December 2001. Results Out of the 142 cases, posterior approach microendoscopic limited decompression was completed in 87 cases with full decompression obtained.Follow-up for a mean of 18 months in 82 cases revealed a rate of excellent-and-good of 92.7% (58 cases, excellent; 18 cases, good).No complications occurred. Conclusions Degenerate lumbar spinal stenosis, resulted from simple lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, hypertrophy of ligamentum flavumcan, and facet hypertrophy, can be effectively treated by posterior approach microendoscopic limited decompression. Proper selection of patients, full decompression and experienced operative skills are the key to satisfactory surgical results.

[Objeetive] To develop the recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2(rhBMP-2)loaded amorphous calcium phosphate(ACP)delayed release nano-sized material,investigate its cytotoxicity of cell,and provide a reference for the experiment of composite material in vivo.[Method]The rhBMP-2/ACP delayed release nano-sized material were prepared by chemical wet method and cultured on rabbit bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)in vitro.Then the adhesion,proliferation,growth and functional expression of BMSCs were measured.[Result]Cytotoxicity test demonstrated that rhBMP-2/ACP delayed release nano-sized material had not affect the percentage of cell's proliferation with material-extracted liquid cultured with BMSCs and the cytotoxicity was graded zero.The adhesion,proliferation,configuration of the cells on the surface of this material were identical to the control group.[Conclusion]It was suggested that rhBMP-2/ACP delayed release nano-sized material might have good cellular biocompatibility,no cytotoxicity and not effected the normal functional expression of BMSCs in vitro.
