6.Bone cement combined with zoledronic acid to repair osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(25):3937-3941
BACKGROUND:Percutaneous vertebroplasty with bone cement injection for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures can quickly relieve pain and increase vertebral strength, but vertebral re-fractures often occur because of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty with bone cement injection combined with zoledronic acid in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:Six patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were enrol ed, including two males and four females, aged 60-86 years. These patients with T12-L4 vertebral fractures underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty with polymethyl methacrylate acrylate bone cement treatment. At 4 weeks after bone cement injection, al patients were administrated with intravenous injection of zoledronic acid (100 mL:5 mg) as anti-osteoporosis treatment, 30 drops per minute, once a year, for consecutive 2 years. The 2-year periodic imaging was performed to observe the clinical efficacy on vertebral compression fractures, bone density and adjacent vertebral fractures. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 48 hours after bone cement injection, pain symptoms were relieved in the six cases. At the end of 2-year fol ow-up, fractures healed in al the six cases without delayed union or nonunion, and there was no bone cement leakage, nerve root compression, dural involvement, needle opening or wound infection and pulmonary embolism;the bone density was significantly higher than that before treatment (P<0.05), and no adjacent vertebral fractures occurred. These findings indicate that the percutaneous vertebroplasty with bone cement injection combined with zoledronic acid can significantly relieve pain, improve vertebral stability and bone density, and reduce the incidence of adjacent vertebral fractures in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Journal of Practical Radiology 2015;(3):458-462
Objective To compare and determine the reproducibility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)values of the normal liver parenchyma in respiratory-triggered,breath-hold,and free-breathing diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI). Methods 11 volunteers did three times of breath-hold (excitation number is 1,at the end of the expiration,thickness/gapping=5 mm/1 mm), respiratory-triggered (excitation number is 2,at the end of the expiration,thickness/gapping=5 mm/1 mm),free-breathing (excitation number is 4,thickness/gapping=5 mm/1 mm)and for a total of nine axial liver DWI,the gradient factor was 800 s/mm2 .Then they were all coronally reconstructed (thickness/gapping=8 mm/1 mm).The nonparametric test was used to compare all axial and coronally reconstructed liver ADC values;and the Bland-Altman method was used to evaluate the ADC values’repeatability in coronally reconstructed images.Results The breath-hold DWI’s mean ADC value was (1.09±0.07)×10-3 mm2/s significantly lower than the respiratory-triggered DWI(1.16± 0.09)×10-3 mm2/s and the free-breathing DWI(1.19±0.10)×10-3 mm2/s(P<0.005),the axial and coronal images’results were similar.The ADC values’average difference and scope of consistency of coronal image were (-0.09 to -0.01±0.09 to 0.48)for breath-hold DWI,(-0.04 to 0.01±0.11 to 0.17)for respiratory-triggered DWI,(-0.07 to -0.02±0.11 to 0.18)for free-breathing DWI,respectively.Conclusion The breath-hold DWI’s ADC value of normal liver parenchyma is lower than the respiratory-triggered and free-breathing DWI,and showed more poorer repeatability.It is suggested that the measurement of ADC values of the liver parenchyma should be done within the respiratory-triggered or free-breathing DWI.
