BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that limited lumbar discectomy can harvest better clinical efficacy, but also face a higher risk of recurrence. In clinic, how to guarantee access to good effect, and meanwhile to reduce the probability of recurrent disc herniation? The annulus repair technology may be an effective way, but it is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the early clinical effects of endoscopic lumbar discectomy associated with annulus repair in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. METHODS: Totaly 224 patients with lumbar disc herniation who accepted discectomy surgery were selected from the Department of Spinal Surgery, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University from January 2011 to January 2013, including 56 cases of microendoscopic discectomy associated with annulus repair (repair group) and 168 cases of microendoscopic discectomy (control group). Oswestry disability index and visual analog scale scores for lumbago and lower limb pain were recorded before and at 10 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 18 months after operation. Simultaneously, operative time, blood loss, surgical complications, and postoperative recurrence of lumbar disc herniation were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the repair group, only 51 patients completed the folow-up, while al the patients in the control group completed the folow-up. There was no difference between the repair and control groups before and after surgery in the Oswestry disability index and visual analog scale scores for lumbago and lower limb pain (P > 0.05), but at 10 days after surgery, the Oswestry disability index and visual analog scale scores for lumbago and lower limb pain were significantly decreased in the repair group (P < 0.05), and this trend continued until the 18th month after surgery. There were no dural tears, disc space infection, hematoma formation in the spinal canal and other serious complications. The recurrence rate was 9.5% in the control group and 3.9% in the repair group. 31.2% of relapsed patients in the control group received the second operation, while on patient in the repair group received reoperation. These findings indicate that microendoscopic discectomy associated with annulus repair can obtain remarkable early clinical results, and effectively reduce the recurrent rate and risk of secondary lumbar disc surgery, which is safe and reliable.

Objective To investigate the level of serum free fatty acid (FFA )after improving the life style in patients with coronary heart disease complicated metabolic syndrome and the effect of therapeutic life style on traditional risk factors of coronary artery disease.Methods A total of 395 patients with coronary heart disease complicated metabolic syndrome were recruited.Pa-tients were divided into intervention group (group A,conventional drug therapy+ intensive life style intervention,n=97)and non-intervention group (group B,conventional drug therapy,n=38)according to the scores of life style.Serum free fatty acid (FFA) was determined by ELASA.The scores of life style was obtained bylife style questionnaire.Results (1)The serum FFA of pa-tients with coronary heart disease complicated metabolic syndrome were positively related to waist circumference and waist-high-ra-tio.(2)Waist circumference,BMI and FFA of group A were significantly lower than those in group B after therapeutic life style in-tervention(P <0.05).(3)Compared with the baseline,the constitution index and FFA in group A were significantly lower after 6-months therapeutic life style intervention(P <0.05).Conclusion Therapeutic life style can reduce the level of FFA and constitution index of the patients with coronary heart disease complicated metabolic syndrome.

It is an important means to study the electrical activity of the brain's nerve cells by exploring physiological information of the EEGs from the frequency domain. The gravity frequency is one of the global parameters with using this method. We used the multitaper spectrum method (MTM) spectrum estimation method of good performance to calculate the EEG spectrum and its gravity frequency of subjects under vigilance and vigilance decrement state. The results showed that the gravity frequency of vigilance state was higher than that of vigilance decrement state, the gravity frequency became smaller along with the vigilance decrement, and the location of the gravity frequency shifted to the left in the spectrum. Finally, the monitoring curve of the gravity frequency was acquired by designing an algorithm, and it was used to online monitoring vigilance operators.

AAIM:To investigate the effect of atorvastatin ( ATO) on electrical remodeling, atrial ion channel protein expression and cardiac function in atrial tachypacing rabbits, and to explore the potential electrical mechanism of ATO in the prevention of atrial fibrillation.METHODS:The rabbits were subjected to atrial tachypacing at 600 min-1 in the absence or presence of treatment with atorvastatin (ATP and ATO groups) for 48 h, and the other 10 as sham group without pacing ( NP group) .The tachypacing model was performed by attaching pacing and testing electrodes to left atrial and connecting with custom animal cardiac pacemaker in the open-chest situation.The animals in ATO group were pretrea-ted with ATO for 7 d and continued during tachypacing.Serial atrial effective refractory period ( AERP) was measured in each rabbit at baseline, 8 h, 16 h, 24 h, 32 h, 40 h and 48 h with different cycle lengths.The changes of cardiac func-tions and cardiac structure were observed by cardiac ultrasonic cardiogram before and after atrial tachypacing.The expres-sion of atrial ion channel proteins CaLα1 and Kv4.3 was detected by Western blotting.RESULTS:Compared with NP group, AERP at cycle lengths of 150 and 200 ms, the adaption of AERP, and the levels of CaLα1 and Kv4.3 expression were all decreased in ATP and ATO group, especially in ATP group.Left atrial dimension ( LAD) was increased in pacing groups as compared with NP group (P<0.05) after pacing delivery for 48 h, while no difference between the formers was observed.No significant change of the left ventricular dimension ( LVD) and ejection fraction ( LVEF) among groups be-fore and after pacing was found.CONCLUSION:Atrial tachypacing significantly shorten AERP, resulting in poor adap-tion of AERP, while ATO pretreatment significantly attenuates the atrial electrical remodeling in rabbits, but had no effect on cardiac structure.ATO suppresses the down-regulation of atrial ion channel proteins CaLα1 and Kv4.3 expression after 48 h, which may be the potential ionic mechanism of atrial electrical remodeling for ATO.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of bicyclol tablets on drug-induced hepatic injury in patients with severe psoriasis.Methods One hundred and six patients with severe psoriasis and drug-induced hepatic injury were enrolled in this study,and randomly divided into 2 groups:bicyclol group (53 cases) treated with oral bicyclol tablets (25 mg thrice a day) for 8 weeks,diammonium glycyrrhizinate group (53 cases) treated with diammonium glycyrrhizinate capsules (150 mg thrice a day) for 8 weeks.Serum biochemical indices of hepatic function were measured before and after treatment,therapeutic efficacy was evaluated,and adverse reactions were observed and recorded after treatment.Intergroup and intragroup differences in these parameters were assessed.Results During the treatment,3 patients were lost to follow up.After treatment,serum biochemical indices of hepatic function markedly improved in both the bicyclol group (52 cases) and diammonium glycyrrhizinate group (51 cases) (both P ＜ 0.01),and the bicyclol group showed a better treatment response than the diammonium glycyrrhizinate group (P ＜ 0.01).The marked response rate was 71.15％ and 47.06％ (P ＜ 0.05),and the response rate was 84.62％ and 66.67％ (P ＜ 0.05),respectively,in the bicyclol group and diammonium glycyrrhizinate group.No adverse reactions related to tested drugs were observed in either of the two groups.Conclusion Bicyclol can attenuate antipsoriatic drug-induced hepatic injury with good safety.

The presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) proteins leads to changes in the cellular gene expression. As a consequence, the cellular signaling processes are influenced by the actions of HBV proteins. It has been shown that HBV nucleocapsid protein and the amino-terminal part of polymerase termed as terminal protein (TP) could inhibit interferon signaling. Further, the global gene expression profiles differ in hepatoma cells with and without HBV gene expression and replication. The expression of interferon (IFN) stimulated genes (ISGs) was differently regulated in cells with HBV replication and could be modulated by antiviral treatments. The HBV TP has been found to modulate the ISG expression and enhance the HBV replication. The modulation of the cellular signaling processes by HBV may have significant implications for pathogenesis.
