BACKGROUND:Because it can reduce the risk of postoperative bone cement leakage, percutaneous kyphoplasty is increasingly used for treatment of severe osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures. Studies have found that injection of mixed bone cement with high viscosity can significantly reduce the leakage of bone cement. OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty with high viscosity bone cement and percutaneous kyphoplasty with standard viscosity bone cement in the treatment of severe osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:Eighty patients with severe osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures were enroled and randomized into vertebroplasty group and kyphoplasty group, 40 patients in each group. Visual analog scale score and Oswestry disability index score were compared between groups before and after treatment. Incidence rate of bone cement leakage and other complications were also compared between two groups after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No significant difference was found between the visual analog scale scores of two groups after treatment (P> 0.05). Patients in the two groups al presented with good recovery of spinal function after treatment, and there was no difference in the Oswestry disability index scores between groups at 3 months after treatment (P> 0.05). The incidence rate of bone cement leakage was 45% in the vertebroplasty group and 30% in the kyphoplasty group, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). But the patients in both groups showed no obvious clinical symptoms and underwent no treatment. After treatment, al patients had no pulmonary embolism, bone cement toxicity, spinal cord and nerve root injury. These findings show that there is no significant difference between percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty with high-viscosity bone cement in the folowing aspects: pain improvement, recovery of the spinal function, incidence rate of bone cement leakage and clinical efficacy.

Objective: To investigate the significance of laminin(LN) and laminin receptor(LN-R) in the proceeding and prognosis of hydatidiform mole.Methods: Immunohistochemical SP staining was used to detect the expression of LN and LN-R in 41 hydatidiform mole cases(13 cases were learned to have turned malignant by following up).20 cases of normal early gestational chorion were detected as control.Results: The strong positive rates of LN and LN-R in normal chorion,hydatidiform mole un-malignant group and malignant group were respectively 90.0%(18/20),71.4%(20/28),38.5%(5/13),and 70.0%(14/20),71.4%(20/28),84.6%(11/13).The strong expression of LN had a significant difference between malignant group and the other 2 groups(P

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of colonoscopy in the diagnosis of pathological changes of terminal ileum.Methods The clinical characteristics of terminal ileum,endoscopic manifestations and pathological results of 72 cases were retrospectively summarized.Results 72 cases of terminal ileum lesions diag-nosed with terminal ileum 32 cases,28 cases of lymphoid follicles hyperplasia,polyps in 5 cases,crohn's disease (3 cases),intestinal tuberculosis in 1 case,lymphoma in 1 case,small intestinal carcinoma in 1 case,terminal ileum bleeding in 1 case.Conclusion Colonoscopy is the first choice for diagnosis of terminal ileum diseases and effective method,for early diagnosis and treatment of terminal ileum diseases have important clinical significance.

Objective To explore the etiology of abdominia incision hernia and treatments of giant incisional hernia of abdominal wall. Methods 14 cases with AGIH treated in our hospital from Oct 2003 to May 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The etiology of abdominia incision hernia were very important,and abdominal longitudinal incision was performed, 10 cases ＞ 67y among 14 cases with incision hernia were 71.42%. Infection of incision and essential conditions( diabetes, chronic cough ,hypoalbum inemia)were also easily induced of incisional hernia. All of them chose the marlex patch. The cases were all cured and no serious postoperative complications. None of cases recurred during a follow up of 3 to 56 months. Conclusion The etiology of AGIH related with longitudinal incision,old ( ＞ 60y)and essential conditions. AGIH were repained with polypropylene mesh. Essential conditions should be treated before operation and abdominal wall should be trained comfortablely. Repairing abdominal incision hernial with artifical patch was a safe and simple operation with minimal postoperation pain.

The constitutional medical thoughts in Inner Canon of Huangdi is the foundation for TCM constitution theory, it discusses the influence of constitution on disease in detail. Constitution factors determine the disease onset or not; Constitution factors determine the tendency and character of disease. Constitution factors effect the changes of pathogenesis, the character of syndrome, the therapeutic principle and methods; Constitution factors effect the turnover and prognosis. Constitution therapies are profit to correct the partial body, preventing the development of disease and heal the disease.

Objective To investigate the application value of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) in living donor liver transplantation(LDLT). Methods In LDLT, IOUS techniques (gray scale ultrasound and color Doppler flow imaging) were adopted in 26 donors and recipients for parenchymal and vascular examinations. The abnormal sonograms were observed, and the anatomic findings of hepatic veins were recorded. All the reanastomosed blood vessels were examined by gray scale ultrasound and color Doppler flow imaging before the operations were completed. Results A hepatic parenchymatous tumor was revealed by IOUS in one donor. Besides, middle hepatic veins in 13 donors and secondary hepatic veins with diameter﹥0.5 cm in 5 donors were confirmed by IOUS. Furthermore, one operation procedure was changed and one hepatic artery stenosis was established according to IOUS findings. Conclusion IOUS is a very useful means in evaluation of parenchymal and vascular conditions of donors and recipients in LDLT, which helps to select the best cross section and provides evidence for the change of surgical procedures.

Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized with arthritis in one or more joints,fever,rash and serositis.Due to the atypical symptoms and poor prognosis,it's a great challenge in the clinical diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation in sJIA.These challenges could be addressed by the identification of clinical biomarkers,aiming at evaluating the disease severity,predicting the activity and prognosis of sJIA.This review will be focus on genetics,serum and cellular markers in sJIA and summarize the relative application on diagnosis and treatment.

As an important branch of system biology,metabolomics is an emerging discipline following with genomics,proteomics and transcriptomics,which studies the variety of endogenous and exogenous metabolites in physiological or pathological state.With the rapid development of technology,metabolomics has been widely used in clinical researches.

Objective To understand the synergistic effect of zinc and vitamin C on the anti-oxidative ability of sport training mouse. Methods 30 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, blank control, normal saline solution, zinc , vitamin C and zinc + vitamin C. After 3 weeks of treatment, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the serum, liver and brain were determined. Results Compared with the control, the activity of SOD in the serum, liver and brain of the mice treated with zinc and vitamin C significantly increased, the content of MDA showed a significant decrease, the combination of zinc and vitamin C presented the best effect. Conclusion Combination of zinc and vitamin C has a significant synergistic effect in improvement of anti-oxidative ability.
