With the continuously exploration,in recent years,further understanding of anatomical characteristics of the cervical pedicle brings great breakthrough in cervical pedicle screw implantation.In addition,pedicle screw implantation in cervical spine is considered as a technique with high safety and reliability,which can be widely used in cervical trauma fracture,cervical instability,degenerative,inflammatory,benign or malignant tumor,deformity and other neck diseases.Because of the tremendous differences between upper cervical spine (C1,C2) and lower cervical spine (C3-7) in anatomical morphology,cervical pedicle screw implantation in C1 and C2 differs from in lower cervical spine.Due to the similar structure of C3-7,pedicle screw implantation methods are based on the same principle and sharing a few points in common.The pedicle screw technique can be classified in two groups according to the practice methods:navigation technology and manual placement of cervical pedicle screw.Navigation nailing is considered as reliable,easy handing,and with clear operative vision,however,with disadvantages as complex procedures,highly cost operation equipment,and risk in navigation draft.Therefore,manual placement of pedicle screw is more reasonable and practical comparing with the former.In this study,it analyzed anatomical characteristics of lower cervical pedicle and the measurement of pedicle structure,discussed technique of manual placement of pedicle screw in lower cervical spine and biomechanical study of pedicle screw,and summed up the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of current representative manual placement technology.

Objective To investigate the effect of δ-opioid receptor agonist D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin (DADLE) on the celluar immune function in septic rats. Methods One hundred and fifty healthy male SD rats weighing 154-198 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 50 each):group Ⅰ sham operation (group S);group Ⅱ sepsis (group SEP) and group Ⅲ DADLE. Sepsis was induced by cecum ligation and punture (CLP) in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ. In group Ⅲ 0.5 rmg/kg DADLE 10 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally (IP) immediately after CLP operation. Seven day survival rate was calculated. Blood samples were collected from 10 animals at 4, 8 and 12 h after operation (T1-3) respectively in each group for determination of serum TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations by ELISA and changes in T-cell subsets by flow cytometry. Results CLP significantly increased serum TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio at T1-3 and decreased CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio and increased CD8+ at T3 in group Ⅱ as compared with group S (group Ⅰ). DADLE treatment significantly attenuated the CLP-induced above changes. Seven-day survival rate was significantly higher in DADLE group than in CLP group.Conclusion δ-opioid receptor agonist DADLE can improve the celluar immune function of rats with sepsis and increase the survival rate.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with gamma knife on stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC)and the quality of life of the patients undergoing this therapy.Methods Twenty NSCLC patients with the median age of 76,10 at stage Ⅰ and 10 at stage Ⅱ who were unable or unwilling to undergo surgery were given SBRT with gamma knife at the doses of 3-6 Gy in 8-15 fractions,finished within 2 to 3 weeks.The prescription isodose line was 50％,the marginal dose was 39-56 Gy,the central dose was 78-112 Gy,and the total biologically effective dose was 51-83 Gy.The patients were observed after admission and followed up by chest CT 1,3,6,and 12 months after treatment until progressive disease or death.EORTC QLQ-LC43 questionnaire was used to investigate the changes in quality of life.Results The 20 patients were followed up for 24 (12-46) months.At six months after the treatment,the overall response rate was 80％,and the complete response rate was 35％.The 1,2 and 3-year local control rates were 100％,95％ and 95％,respectively.The 1,2 and 3-year overall survival rates were 95％,80％ and 50％ respectively; The 1,2,and 3-year progression free survival rates were 85％,64％ and 33％,respectively.The failure rate was 20％ and the rate of progress within the planning target volume was 5％.No acute toxicity at grade 3 and over occurred in any patient during the treatment.15％ of the patients developed grade 1-2 radiation pneumonia.Age,gender,pathologic index or not were weakly correlated with the overall survival.The emotional function was improved significantly after treatment (P ＜ 0.05),dyspnea and cough were improved at different degrees,however,not significantly.There were no significant changes in the physical function and symptoms,such as fatigue,lack of appetite,insomnia,etc.Conclusions Significantly improving the motional function and maintaining the quality of life,SBRT with gamma knife is effective for elderly NSCLC patients with high local control rate fair overall survival rate and few side effects.

Objective To analyze the efficacy and prognosis of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in treatment of brain metastases,and to observe the influence of temozolomide (TMZ) on survival rate during the period of radiotherapy.Methods A total of 52 patients with brain metastases were divided into two groups according to treatment methods,including 35 patients treated with WBRT plus SRT and 17 patients treated with SRT alone.WBRT dose was 1.8 - 3.0 Gy per fraction,one fraction a day,five fractions per week,with total dose of 30 - 40 Gy.After WBRT,gamma knife was performed with prescription isodose line of 45％ -70％ surrounding the planned target volume in WBRT + SRT group.The marginal dose was 12 - 15 Gy and the center dose was 20-30 Gy.In SRT group,the prescription isodosc line was 45％ - 70％ and the marginal dose was 36 - 40 Gy while the center up to 70 - 80 Gy.The follow up time was 1 - 2 years.Besides 20 patients in this study took temozolomide capsule during and after radiotherapy.The schedule of concomitant chemotherapy was temozolomide of 75 mg/m2 by oral administration every day until radiotherapy was over,and then temozolomide of 150 mg/m2 was taken for 3 -6 months after radiotherapy.Results The efficiency during 1 -3 months after treatment was 84.62％ in this study.In the WBRT + SRT group,the efficiency was 88.57％ and declined to 76.47％ in the SRT group.The six month-and one year-local control rate were 92.10％ and 85.20％,respectively.The average survival time of WBRT + SRT was 13.2 months and median survival time was 11 months.Six month-,one year-and eighteen months-survival rate were 71.40％,54.30％ and 14.30％,respectively.In the SRT group,the average survival time was 10.2 months and median survival time was 9 months.Six month-,one year- and eighteen month-survival rate were 41.20％,23.50％ and 5.88％,respectively,while those for RT + TMZ group were 80.00％,60.00％ and 10.00％.In comparison,those in RT group were 56.30％,37.50％ and 12.50％,respectively.Conclusions Effect of gamma knife stereotactic radiotherapy combined with WBRT is better than GK stereotactic radiotherapy alone in treatment of brain metastases.Compared with radiotherapy alone,concomitant temozolomide chemotherapy could improve the survival rate of the patients with brain metastases without increasirg adverse reactions significantly.
