Objective To discuss the feasibility of using three-dimensional simulation positioning of puncture route that is sketched according to the transversal and sagittal CT images to design percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) plan. Methods A total of 58 patients with 63 diseased vertebral bodies were enrolled in this study. Before PVP, the simulation puncture route was delineated according to the transversal and sagittal CT images, and the simulation puncture parameters were determined by using the software of PACS, in this way the three-dimensional simulation puncturing route was established , and the skin needle entry point as well as the puncture angle were calculated. Unilateral transpedicular approach was used when the simulation puncture route could meet the requirements of unilateral approach. Otherwise , bilateral transpedicular approach would be employed. Three months after PVP visual analogue score (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of pain relief, and the result was compared with that determined before PVP. SPSS 13.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The estimating data were statistically analyzed with paired t-test and the results were expressed in the form of (x ± s). Results The measurement results showed that significant differences in the puncture angles and skin needle entry points existed between different vertebral bodies. Guided by the preoperatively determined simulation puncture route , PVP was successfully accomplished in all patients. The success rate of single puncturing was 100% (63 vertebral bodies in total). Among 63 vertebral bodies, unilateral transpedicular approach was adopted in 55 and the operation time was (28.5 ± 5.5) minutes, while bilateral transpedicular approach was carried out in 8 and the operation time was (37.5 ± 5.5) minutes. After PVP, complete pain relief was achieved in all patients. No serious complications occurred during the follow-up period. Conclusion Three-dimensional simulation positioning of puncture route that is sketched according to preoperative transversal and sagittal CT images is very useful in precisely determining the puncturing route before PVP, which is very helpful to increase the success rate of single puncture and to improve the procedural safety.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a HPLC assay for the determination of hydroxycamptothecinum and camptothecinum.METHODS: The concentrations of hydroxycamptothecinum and camptothecinum were assayed on a C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of methanol- water(45∶ 55) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,and detected at 266nm.RESULTS: The mean recovery of hydroxycamptothecinum was 100.2% ,the 2,4,8 hours precision RSD were less than 1.8% ;The mean recovery of camptothecinum was 99.7% ,the 2,4,8 hours precision RSD were less than 2.0% .CONCLUSION: The HPLC method for determination of hydroxycamptothecinum and camptothecinum was rapid,sensitive and accurate.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of cognitive and motor disorders as well as emotional and sleep abnormality in the veterans from military communities in Beijing. Methods The participants underwent a comprehensive in-person evaluation including detailed neuropsychological testing,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and special questionnaires for movement and sleep disorders. Results The overall prevalence of cognitive impairment, extrapyramidal diseases was 32.7%, 8.8% . The prevalence of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Parkinson disease, essential tremor, anxiety and depression was 26.2% , 6.5% , 2.0% , 6.1 % , 1.4% and 4.1% respectively. Prevalence of all kinds of sleep disorders ranged from 10. 3% to 53. 9%. The prevalence of cognitive impairment had no significant difference of sex, but were correlated to age and education, the correlation coefficient was 0. 326 and -0.221 ( P<0.01) . Conclusion Veterans from military communities had higher prevalence of cognitive impairment, extrapyramidal diseases and sleep disorders and lower that of anxiety and depression relatively.

Antipsychotic medications are commonly used to treat schizophrenia,but they can have negative effects on lipid metabolism,leading to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases,reduced life expectancy,and difficulties with treatment adherence.The specific mechanisms by which antipsychotics disrupt lipid metabolism are not well understood.Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins(SREBPs)are important transcriptional factors that regulate lipid metabolism.Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9),a gene regulated by SREBPs,plays a critical role in controlling levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and has become a focus of research on lipid-lowering drugs.Recent studies have shown that antipsychotic drugs can affect lipid metabolism through the SREBP/PCSK9 pathway.A deep understanding of the mechanism for this pathway in antipsychotic drug-related metabolic abnormalities will promote the prevention of lipid metabolism disorders in patients with schizophrenia and the development and application of new drugs.
