[Objective]To investigate surgical protocol for treatment of thoracolumbar fracture with ankylosing spondylitis. [Method]A retrospective study was performed in 8 thoracolumbar-fracture patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Of them, 6 patients were neurological intact and 2 had neurological defect(Frankel grades the C level). Under general anesthesia, all of the 8 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation with pedicle screws at two segments in both ends of the fracture. Laminectomy for decompression of the nerve tissue was performed in the 2 patients with neurological defect simultaneously.[Result]All of the 8 patients were followed up for 8 to 30 months. Solid bone healing was achieved in all of the patients. Two patients with eurological compromise had improved by two Frankel grades (complete recovery).[Conclusion]Thoracolumbar fracture in ankylosing spondylitis traverse both bone and ligaments, producing an extremely unstable situation similar to a shearing type of fracture. Reduction of the displacement and stabilization is best achieved with a pedicle screw system at two segments in both ends of the fracture.

Objective Through a survey of medical students in autonomous learning, to understand students' learning motivation and learning strategies and find out the existing problems, and to provide the basis for the school to organize autonomous learning and improve the teaching quality. Methods Convenient sampling method was used to extract 1 500 students' autonomous learning scale who were freshman and sophomore, junior students and 1 467 valid questionnaires were collected. According to the corresponding research situation of Zhejiang Normal University, SPSS 19.0 was used to compare the different types of students in the school, and the t test or q test were also done. Results The situation of college students' autonomous learning was better. The girl's average score was (312.51 ±14.03) which was higher than the boys in the school (286.16 ±13.69)and the girls in the control group (302.67 ±10.37). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The average total score of the junior college students (307.92 ±13.84) was better than that of freshman and sophomore (P<0.05), which suggested that junior students had the strongest independent learning ability. Conclusion Colleges and universities should be based on the actual situation of students and formulate corresponding policies and measures from the autonomous learning motivation, the boys dor-mitory management, to ensure the stability of teaching quality improvement.

A method for determination of residues of 26 β2-agonists in pork liver was developed using high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric ( HPLC-MS/MS ) . After enzymatic hydrolysis with β-Glucuronidase/Arylsulfatase for 12 hours, the pH of sample solution was adjusted to 1 using perchloric acid for protein precipitation. The precipitate was extracted with 0. 1mol/L perchloric acid aqueous. The extracts in the above two steps were combined and adjusted to pH 4 for the solid phase extraction ( MCX) . And then the 26 β2-agonists residues in the extracts were separated on a reversed phase HPLC column using a gradient elution program of 0. 1% formic acid aqueous solution (A) and 0. 1% formic acid in acetonitrile solution ( B) . Multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM) with positive polarity was selected to monitor qualitative and quantitative ion. Based on the optimized method, 26 β2-agonists could be analyzed in 15 min. The recoveries ranged from 64 . 0% to 112 . 7% for the 26 kinds ofβ2-agonists residues with three spiked levels of 5, 10 and 20 μg/kg. The relative standard deviations ( RSDs) were less than 15. 2%. The limits of detection (LOD) for the 26 kinds of β2-agonists were 0. 15-1. 35 μg/kg.
