Objective To investigate the influence of C arm X- ray perspective computer auxiliary surgery navigation system on lumbar vertebral pedicle screw fixation in the elderly.Methods 286 patients(aged≥65 years) treated by lumbar spine post decompress and pedicle screw fixation for lumbar vertebral degeneration were divided into navigation (n=153) or non-navigation (n=133) groups.The amount of blood loss,surgery duration and time of beginning to walk after surgery were measured and compared, the improvement grading was determined by Oswestry disability index (ODI) before surgery and at the last follow-up. Results The surgery duration [(27.6+6.3)ain vs.(33.8±9.9)min],the volume of blood loss[(135.7±21.1)ml vs.(165.4±32.1)ml] and the time of beginning to walk after surgery[(134.6± 12.3)h vs.(169.0±23.9)h] were obviously reduced in navigation group as compared with non-navigation group (P ＜ 0.05). The grading improvement rate by ODI[(76.6±±3.7)％vs.(69.8+6.6)％] was higher in navigation group than in non navigation group (P＜0.05). Conclusions Using C arm X-ray perspective computer auxiliary surgery navigation system to lumbar pedicle screws fixation is helpful in the elderly for improving clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the influence of the two-dimension computer-aided surgery navigation system to the concordance of lumbar spine pedicle screw fixation on both sides.Methods 1355 patients were undergone lumbar spinal pedicle screw fixation during January 2004 to December 2009.All patients were divided into tow groups:the navigation group (743cases) and the fluoroscopy assistant group (612 cases).All patients got standard A-P and lateral X-ray plate of lumbar spine within seven days after surgery.The X-ray images were analyzed by the software of Image-pro plus 5.0 to evaluate the concordance of lumbar spine pedicle screw fixation on both sides.The angle between axial line of pedicle screw and superior lamina terminals (α angle) and the angle between axial lines of pedicle screw on both sides (γangle) were measured.The position of the pedicle screw was checked weather it was in the lumbar pedicle partially.Results There were no significant differences (P＞0.05) between the α angle on both sides of L1-S5 vertebral body in navigation assistant group (L:3.89°±0.47°,R:3.94°±0.37°).The differences of the α angle on both sides of L2 (L:4.55°±1.27°,R:5.12°±1.87°) and L4 (L:4.22°±1.89°,R:6.62°±1.97°) vertebral body in the fluoroscopy assistant group had statistical significance (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences between the α angle on both sides of other bodies (L:4.32°±1.47°,R:4.37°±1.59°,P＞0.05).The γangle in navigation assistant group (2.32°± 0.27°) was obviously smaller than fluoroscopy assistant group (3.32°±1.51°),the differences had statistical significance (P＜0.05).Accuracy of pedicle screw in navigation assistant group was 91.5％ (3604/3938).Accuracy of pedicle screw in fluoroscopy assistant group was 87.6％ (2426/2768).The difference in accuracy of pedicle screw in both groups had statistical significance (x2=26.913,P＜0.0001).Conclusion The accuracy of pedicle screw and the concordance of pedicle screw on both sides can be significantly improved using the two-dimension perspective computer-aided surgery navigation system.

Commonly, the interbacterial transfer of circular plasmids is initiated by nicking at an internal sequence, oriT, followed by transferring one strand as single-stranded DNA through a type Ⅳ secretion channel on cell membrane. In contrast, Streptomyces conjugative linear plasmids, containing a free 3'-end but a protein-capped 5'-end, can potentially undergo cell-to-cell transfer by transfer of non-nicked DNA. It was reported that circular derivatives of the Streptomyces lividans linear plasmid SLP2, as well as the parental linear plasmid itself can transfer efficiently. And the genetic requirements for such transfer was described. Efficient transfer of plasmid requires six co-transcribed SLP2 genes, encoding a Tra-like DNA translocase, cell wall hydrolase, two cell membrane proteins that interact with an ATP binding protein, and a protein of unknown function. Reduced transfer efficiency of plasmid from SalⅠ R-/M-to Sal Ⅰ R/M hosts argues that transfer of both the circular and linear forms of the plasmid involves double-stranded DNA. These results suggest that conjugal transfer occurs by a similar mechanism for SLP2-derived linear and circular plasmids, and cellular membrane/wall functions in the transfer process.

AIM: To evaluate the protective effect of rapid phase of ischemic preconditioning against spinal cord ischemic injury in rabbits. METHODS: Thirty six male New Zealands white rabbits were randomly assigned to 3 groups (12 in each group): ischemia and reperfusion injury group (IR group), ischemic preconditioning + IR group (IPC+IR group) and sham operation group (sham). In IR group, spinal cord ischemia was induced by an infrarenal aorta clamping for 20 min; The rabbits in IPC+IR group underwent a 6 min ischemic preconditioning followed by 30 min of reperfusion before the 20 min clamping; The rabbits in sham group underwent the same procedures as the IR group except for infrarental aortic unclamping. Neurologic status was scored at 8, 12, 24 and 48 h after reperfusion. All animals were sacrificed at 48 h after reperfusion and the spinal cords (L_(5-7)) were removed for histopathologic study and determination of the activity of Na~+, K~+-ATPase. RESULTS: The neurologic function scores in sham group and IPC+IR group at each observation interval were higher than those in IR group (P

Objective To analyze the psychological condition of postgraduates in clinical hos-pitals of colleges and universities before and after the implementation of psychological mentor scheme so as to evaluate the effect. Methods Quantitative questionnaire (SCL-90 scale) and qualitative fo-cus interview were used to compare psychological condition of postgraduates. Totally 182 copies of questionnaires were sent to two hospitals (A and B) respectively. Then, psychological mentor scheme was carried out in A hospital. Afterwards, 206 and 140 copies of questionnaires were sent again to the hospitals respectively to compare the results. Eight student psychological consultants, 12 postgraduates and 5 postgraduate management staff were enrolled in qualitative focus interview. Excell2003 software was adopted to establish the database and SPSS 11.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Descrip-tive analysis, frequency analysis, t test, chi-square test and variance analysis were adopted for data analysis. P<0.05 signifies for statistically significant difference. Results Mental health status of both groups was better than the national level before the implementation (total SCL score: A hospital=118 . 08 ±36.20; B hospital =100.33 ±22.90). However, SCL-90 score of A hospital was decreased (total SCL score: 102.58 ±25.23) and that of B hospital (total SCL score:134.01 ±38.92) was in-creased (part of items higher than the adult national norm) at one year after conducting psychological mentor scheme. Conclusions Psychological mentor scheme can effectively relieve stress and interper-sonal stress so as to reduce the general psychological problems and can help to improve mental health of the students.

Objective To compare the single-shot fields irradiated by three focusing modes of γ-knife and explore the approaches for improving the quality of stereotactic radiosurgery.Methods GAFCHROMIC(R) EBT3 mode flushing-free film was used to measure the single-shot fields irradiated by multi-source static focusing modes,multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode and single-source double-axis rotating focusing mode of γ-knife.Also the uniformity and penumbra of the single-shot fields were compared.Results The 2D dose distribution of the single-shot fields irradiated by three focusing modes of γ-knife was different.In the axis (x,y,z),the rang of penumbra axial length ratios of multisource static focusing modes,multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode and single-source double-axis rotating focusing mode were 0.13-0.48,0.17-0.33 and 0.28-0.54,in the diagonal direction of the wings plane (NSD,PSD),were 0.31-0.39,0.38-0.43 and 0.54-0.72,respectively;the penumbra axial length ratio of single-source double-axis rotating focusing mode was bigger than in multi-source static focusing modes and multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode.On the no-wings plane,the area ratios of 80％ dose curve enveloped and 50％ dose curve enveloped(A80％/A50％)were 0.40,0.47 and 0.19,on the wings plane,were 0.61,0.53 and 0.35,respectively.The field uniformity of multi-source static focusing modes and multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode were superior to single-source doubleaxis rotating focusing mode.Conclusions Considering dose distribution of the single-shot fields,the multi-source static focusing modes devices and the multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode devices should be preferred,when important tissues and organs are adjacent to the target areas.Compared with single-source double-axis rotating focusing mode,both multi-source static focusing modes and multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode could make more target areas to be surrounded by high dose region.

Objective:To study the effect of psoralen on the proliferation, invasion and migration of HTB-47 and CRL-1932 renal cancer cells cultured in vitro, and to further explore the internal mechanism of psoralen inhibiting renal cancer.Methods:The experimental group was HTB-47 and CRL-1932 renal cancer cells treated with dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing 30 μg/ml psoralen, and the control group was renal cancer cells treated with dimethyl sulfoxide. Scratch test, CCK8, Transwell, and Western blot were used to detect the effect of psoralen on renal cancer cells.Results:Compared with the control group, the proliferation, invasion and migration of renal cancer cells treated with psoralen in the experimental group were significantly inhibited. In the renal cancer cells treated with psoralen, the protein expression levels of MKI67, PCNA, MMP2 and MMP9 were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Psoralen can significantly inhibit the proliferation, invasion and migration of HTB-47 and CRL-1932 renal cancer cells in vitro. The mechanism may be to inhibit the progression of renal cancer by regulating MKI67, PCNA, MMP2 and MMP9.
