Objective To investigate the modulation role of autophagy in radiation-induced cell death by detecting the response of src kinase activity and autophagy in HEK293 cells irradiated with different dose of α-particle.Methods HEK293 cells were irradiated by contral group (0 cGy) a low dose group (10 cGy) and high dose group (300 cGy) α-particles.Molecular probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin (DCFHDA) was used to detect the cell ROS.The src kinase activity and endogenous protein level of LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ were monitored by Western Blot.Cell death rate of irradiated cells pretreated with autophagy inducer of rapamycin was tested by flow cytometry.Results Compared with control group,the ratio of LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ decreased (t =4.07,P < 0.05) and the percentage of cells with GFP-LC3 punctuate dots increased (t =12.29,P <0.05) under 10 cGy irradiation,indicating the induction of autophagy.On the contrary,the ratio of LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ increased (t =2.93,P < 0.05) and the GFP-LC3 morphology had no obvious change under 300 cGy irradiation.The cellular ROS level reached to the maximum value at 4 h postirradiation.Both 10 cGy and 300 cGy irradiation could elevate the ROS level (t =17.93,22.88,P <0.05),whereas the amplitude of elevation of 300 cGy irradiation was higher than that of 10 cGy irradiation (t =15.76,22.66,14.22,P < 0.05).Compared with control group,the 419th site of tyrosine residue in src kinase manifested hyper-phosphorylation (t =5.66,P <0.05) under 10 cGy irradiation whereas it had hypo-phosphorylation under 300 cGy irradiation (t =4.67,P < 0.05).Treatment of cells with DMSO could partly restore the impact on src kinase activity under high or low dose irradiation.Pre-treating the cells with autophagy inducer rapamycin could reduce cell death under 300 cGy irradiations (t =12.14,P < 0.05).Conclusions High or low dose of α-particles irradiation could inhibit or activate src kinase and autophagy system,respectively.ROS mediated the response of src kinase activity and autophagy system induced by irradiation.Modulation of autophagy could desensitize cell responses to irradiation.

Objective To investigate the effect of posterior operation for thoracolumbar burst fractures combined with dislocation. Methods The study involved 22 patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures combined with dislocation admitted into our hospital from October 2005 to March 2008. There were 17 males and 5 females at age range of 18-56 years. The fractures were located at T12-L2. The fractured vertebrae lost its height by 1/4 to 3/4 of the normal height. The upper vertebral dislocation ex-tent was from 25% to 50%. All operations were accomplished within two weeks after injury. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, ie, Group Ⅰ (implanted with 4 pedicle screws in upper and lower vertebrae adjacent to the fractured vertebrae) and Group Ⅱ (implanted with 6 pedicle screws in 2 upper and 1 lower vertebrae adjacent to the fractured vertebrae). The operation time, volume of blood loss, ky-photic angle, neurological function and Low Back Outcome Score (LBOS) were compared between two groups. Results All patients were followed up for 12-36 months. The duration of operation in Group Ⅱ was longer than Group Ⅰ (P < 0.05), with no increase of intraoperative blood loss. Group ⅡI was su-perior to Group Ⅰ in aspects of correction rate, correction loss and implant failure rate (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in aspects of neurological function recovery and low back outcome score be-tween two groups. Conclusion Fixation with three vertebrae and six pedicle screws through posterior approach is an effective, feasible and safe procedure for treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures com-bined with dislocation.

Objective: To determine the clinical efficacy and feasibility of multiple special formed titanium mesh cages (TMCs) to treat lumbo-sacral spinal tuberculosis via posterior approach. Methods: From July, 2007 to June, 2013, 25 patients with lumbo-sacral spinal tuberculosis underwent one-stage posterior debridement, internal if xation, and interbody fusion using multiple special formed titanium meshes. We compared the parameters as follow: the pre- and post-operative American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score, lumbo-sacral angle, the height of intervertebral space, visual analogue scale (VAS), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and observedoperation time, intraoperative blood loss, and time of bone gratf fusion. Results: Operation time ranged from 90 to 180 min, (128±24) min in average. Blood loss in the operation ranged from 100 to 800 mL, (310±125) mL in average. hTe patients were followed up for 24 to 59 months, (43±7) months in average. One patient delayed healing of wound. ASIA score was improved in a certain degree in patients with neurological dysfunctions. hTe lumbo-sacral angle and the height of intervertebral space in the post-operation were signiifcantly higher than those in the pre-operation (P<0.001). VAS was reduced obviously atfer 2 weeks of operation. hTe ESR recovered to the normal level 6 months atfer operation in all the patients. Solid fusion was achieved within 4 to 8 months, 6 months in average. No sinus tract, cerebrospinal meningitis, tuberculosis recurrence and titanium mesh subsidence were found. Conclusion: For lumbo-sacral tuberculosis, multiple special formed titanium mesh cages via posterior approach is safe and effective, which is good to the stability in spine reconstruction.
