Objective In this study,we aim to evaluate the risk and incidence of traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) in patients with traumatic cervical spinal canal stenosis (CSCS) without major fracture or dislocation,and evaluate the feasibility of preventive decompression surgery. Methods This study included eighty?seven patients with traumatic CSCI without major fracture or dislocation treated in our department between 2005 and 2012. Mann?Whitney U test was used for statistical analyses. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to calculate the relative and absolute risks for the incidence of traumatic CSCI without major fracture or dislocation related with CSCS. Results The relative risk for the incidence of traumatic CSCI with CSCS was 145.7 times higher than that for the incidence without CSCS. However ,only 0.000026% of patients with CSCS may be able to avoid developing traumatic CSCI if they underwent decompression surgery before trauma. Conclusions Prophylactic surgical management for CSCS might not significantly affect the incidence of traumatic CSCI.

Objective:On the basis of the use of chemical methods to establish mouse model of lupus nephritis and its biological identification , we investigate the reverse effect of pathological lesions of B 7-1 human-mouse chimeric antibody blockade against B7/D28 signaling pathway in mice with lupus nephritis model.Methods:Pristane was injected intraperitoneally to 6-week-old female C57BL/6J mice at dose of 0.5 ml per mouse in one go,and urine protein,ANA and renal pathological changes were detected on a monthly basis.Mice whose urine protein content reached ++and ANA fluorescence intensity reached ++were randomly devided into three groups ,five each.Antibody intervention group was sequentially injected with B 7-1-mouse chimeric antibody by orbital venous , positive control group was injected with immunosuppressant CTX , negative control group was injected with isotype control IgG.Urine protein and ANA were also detected on a monthly basis.Mice were sacrificed three months after intervention was executed.Kidney was used for H&E dying , IC detection and electric microscope observation.Results: After four-month Pristane induction , urine protein content of 80%mice reached +-+++,meanwhile,serum ANA fluorescence intensity reached ++-+++.Glomerulonephritis infiltrating cells were observed Mice with urine protein and ANA , glomerular inflammatory cell infiltration , tubular epithelial cell degeneration visible edema ,vascular congestion significantly ,fibrosis.After antibody intervention ,urine protein content in antibody intervention group gradually reduced from ++-+++to ±-+++,ANA ++-+++to +-++,and were significantly different from that in the negative control group ( P<0.01 ).Analysis of kidney H&E dying showed that antibody glomerular infiltration of inflammatory cells in the intervention group and tubular congestion and other symptoms were improved significantly.Immunofluorescence staining indicated that fluorescence intensity of IC was significantly reduced in the antibody intervention group.Electron dense deposits reduction and glomerular basement membrane uniformity were observed in antibody intervention group by electric microscope when compared with the negative control group.Conclusion:B7-1 antibodies could downregulate immune response through inhibiting B 7-1/CD28 signaling pathway , reducing the production of autoantibodies and reversing pathological damage caused by autoimmune response .
