Objective:In order to prevent tracheostomal stenosis (TSS) instead of laryngectomy cannulas after total laryngectomy, Nickel\|Titanium shape memory alloys(NI\|SMA) stents in tracheostome were produced and applicated in clinic. Methods: The diameter of NI-SMA is 0.8mm, and Ni 50%, Ti 50%. The shape of the Ni\|SMA stent is the two\|threeth of circumference and its diameters are 18mm, 19.5mm, 21mm. The stents were implanted between the first and the second tracheal cartilage ring of the stump in twenty\|two patients with advanced laryngeal carcinoma or hypopharyngeal carcinoma or esophagul carcinoma in neck. All the patients were free of laryngectomy cannulas after operation. Results: Nieteen patients healed at one stage. Infections after operation were seen in three cases. Eight patients received radiotherapy after total laryngectomy. The NT\|SMA stent did not influence radiotherapy after operation. The TSS occured in six of the patients. A simple procedure named “doughnut” for widening stenosis was performed successfully with an electric cautery knife in all the patients with tracheostomal stenosis after operation. Conclusions: The results suggested that the NT\|SMA stents can prevent from traheostenosis instead of metal laryngectomy cannulas after total laryngectomy.

Objective To investigate treatment of meditation training for elderly patients with cogni-tive disorder recovering from operation for valvular heart disease( VHD) . Method 67 elderly patients who were up to the inclusion criteria were divided into experiment group( n=34)and control group( n=33),by dropping coins according to the admission time.Both of the two groups accepted regular health education and mental nursing.Besides,the experiment group accepted meditation training 5 times a week. Montreal Cogni-tive Assessment (MoCA) was used to evaluate cognitive function before and after the treatment. Results ( 1) Ridit analysis showed the intervention effect of the experimental group was better than that of the control group( R=2.12, t=-2.48, u=0.02),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0,05).The total effec-tive rate of experiment group is 90.32%,while the rate of control group is 62.89%. (2)The score of MoCA for the experiment group(25.79±1.23)was higher than that of the control group(23.85±1.82)after 6 weeks intervention,and the difference was statistically significant( t=5.14,P<0.01).(3) The score of MoCA of the experiment group before the intervention (23.91±2.22)was lower than after 6 weeks intervention(25.79±1. 23),and the difference was statistically significant( t=-4.30,P<0.01).Conclusion Meditation training can effectively improve cognitive function of elderly patients recovering from operation for VHD.

Objective:To establish age- and gender-based normative values of sagittal spinal-pelvic alignment in Chinese adult population, and to investigate influence of age, gender and ethnicity on sagittal spinal-pelvic alignment in Chinese normal adults.Methods:A total of 786 asymptomatic Chinese adult volunteers aged between 20 and 89 years were prospectively recruited from different spine centers. The inclusion criteria were: 1) age between 20 to 89 years old; and 2) Oswestry disability index (ODI) scored lower than 20. The exclusion criteria were: 1) previous history of spinal, pelvic or lower limb pathologies that could affect the spine; 2) presence of recent and/or regular back pain; 3) previous surgeries on spine, pelvic and/or lower limb; and 4) pregnancy. Demographic characteristics of these subjects including age, gender, body weight and height were recorded. During the enrollment of volunteers, 16 groups were defined based on the age (20 s, 30 s, 40 s, 50 s, 60 s, 70 s and 80 s) and gender. Whole body biplanar standing EOS X-ray radiographs were acquired to evaluate the sagittal alignment. Spinal-pelvic parameters including pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), thoracic kyphosis (T 5-T 12, TK), lumbar lordosis (L 1-S 1, LL), lower lumbar lordosis (L 4-S 1, LLL), global tilt (GT), T1 pelvic angle (TPA) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured. Values of PI-LL and lordosis distribution index (LLL/LL, LDI) were calculated. Radiographic measurements of 100 subjects were randomly selected to determine the intra- and inter-observer reliabilities using inter- and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC). The spinal-pelvic parameters were compared among volunteers between different age and gender groups. The comparison was also made among various ethnic population. Results:The mean value was 23.7±7.1 kg/m 2 for BMI and 6.9%±2.5% (range, 0-18%) for ODI score. Each sagittal spinal-pelvic parameter was presented with mean value and standard deviationbased on age and gender. The ICCs of radiographic measurements ranged from 0.89 to 0.95, suggesting good to excellent intra- and inter-observer reliabilities. Significant differences were observed between males and females in multiple sagittal parameters (all P values <0.05). Compared to the male subjects, significantly higher values of PI (41.4° for male vs. 45.0° for female, P<0.001), PT (10.7° for male vs. 13.9° for female, P<0.001), PI-LL (-0.5° for male vs. 1.8° for female, P<0.001), and GT (10.9° for male vs. 13.5° for female, P<0.001) were documented in female subjects. Males had significantly higher values of LLL (28.6° for male vs. 26.6° for female, P<0.001) and LDI (0.68 for male vs. 0.63 for female, P<0.001). PI-LL, SVA, GT and TPA increased with aging from Group 40 s to Group 80 s, while LL, LLL and LDI decreased gradually, and TK decreased slowly with aging. Comparison of sagittal spinal-pelvic parameters between different ethnic subjects showed that Chinese adult population presented lower PI, SS, TK and LL as compared with American population; lower PI, SS and LL as compared with Japanese population. But the variation trend with aging tended to be consistent among different ethnic populations. Conclusion:Age- and gender-based normative values of sagittal spinal-pelvic alignment were established in asymptomatic Chinese adult population. Sagittal spinal-pelvic alignment varies with age and gender, and presented different compensation mechanism among different ethnic populations. Therefore, to achieve balanced sagittal alignment, age, gender and ethnicity should be take intoconsideration when planning spine correction surgery.
