[Objective]To investigate the clinical curative effect and superiority of subtotal corpectomy through the pedicle,titanium rete support and pedicle screws system fixation in the treatment of burst fracture of thoracic vertebrae with paralysis.[Method]Twenty-three patients who suffered from the burst fracture of thoracic vertebrae with paralysis were treated with subtotal corpectomy through pedicle,titanium rete supporting bone autograft and pedicle screws system fixation.[Result]The patients were followed up for 8 months to 2 years.All had their bone grafts fused,and no incision infection,pneumothorax,hemothorax,pulmonary infection,internal fixation loosening or breakage occurred.The mean loss of Cobb's angle was 3.5?.According to Frankel grading,6 of grade A had no obvious recovery.In 5 of grade B,3 improved to C,1 to D,and the last one to E.In 7 of grade C,3 improved to D,4 to E.Five cases of grade D improved to E.[Conclusion]There had relatively less operation wound and good clinical curative effect with subtotal corpectomy through pedicle,titanium rete supporting bone autograft and pedicle screws system fixation.

Objective To detect serum level of anti-M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody in elderly patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) and to explore its clinical significance in IMN disease.Methods A total of 134 patients with renal biopsy-proved glomerular diseases were enrolled in this study,including 42 elderly cases with IMN,45 non-elderly cases with IMN,19 elderly cases with minimal change nephropathy (MCN),12 elderly cases with IgA nephropathy (IgAN),8 elderly cases with hepatitis B-associated membranous nephropathy (HBV-MN) and 8 elderly cases with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).Western blotting was used to detect serum anti-PLA2R antibody and the correlation of anti-PLA2R antibody with laboratory parameters in elderly IMN patients was analyzed.Results The elderly and non-elderly patients with IMN showed that the positive rate of anti-PLA2R antibody was 71.4% and 73.3%,respectively (P> 0.05).The positive rate of anti-PLA2R antibody in elderly IgA nephropathy,HBV-MN and MCN patients was 16.7 %,12.5% and 5.3% respectively.Anti-PLA2R antibody was not detected in serum from elderly FSGS patients.The positive rates of serum anti-PLA2R antibody were significantly higher in both elderly and non-elderly IMN patients than in elderly patients with secondary MN and other types of glomerlonephritis (P < 0.01).Furthermore,anti-PLA2R autoantibody level was positively correlated with 24-hour urine protein level and negatively correlated with the concentration of serum albumin in elderly patients with IMN (P<0.01).Conclusions Anti-PLA2R antibody is a sensitive serological marker of IMN.Detection for anti-PLA2R antibody might be helpful for the diagnosis of both elderly and non-elderly IMN and for the monitor of IMN disease severity.

Objective To develop and apply portable bracket of lower limb in operation of tibia interlocking intramedullary nail. Methods Portable bracket of lower limb is composed of two fir panels and support structure. The level of support and the knee flexion is controlled with it. It is used in preoperative high-pressure disinfection, and then trouble limb is placed on the bracket to complete operation of tibia interlocking intramedullary nail. Results The applications save labor, reduce iatrogenic injury, make for union of fracture and avoid radiation damage of staff. No one is used to lift up leg in operation procedure and X-ray examination. Conclusion Potable bracket of lower limb has advantages in simple production, low cost, labor-saving, minimally invasive surgery wound and so on.

Objective To explore the expression of protease activated receptors (PARs) on human monocytes. Methods Flow cytometry and RT - PCR was used to detect the expressions of PARs on human monocytes that purified by MACS. Results FACS analysis showed that monocytes expressed PAR - 1 , PAR - 3 , PAR - 4, but not PAR - 2.RT - PCR revealed that monocytes expressed PAR - 1 and PAR -3, but not PAR -2 and PAR -4 mRNA. Conclusion PARs is expressed on human monocyte cells,which may facilitate further investigation of the potential functions of PARs on monocytes.
