Objective To compare the clinical effects of ROI-C self-locking fusion cage and common cage+titanium plate fixation on treatment of multi-segment anterior decompression and fusion for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Methods From March 2010 to September 2013,92 patients with multi-segment cervical spondylotic myelopathy were treated with anterior decompression and fusion.52 patients were treated with common cage plus titanium plate fixation,while 40 patients were treated with ROI-C self-locking fusion cage.Clinic data including clinical preoperative condition,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intervertebral space height,Cobb angle of cervical spine,bone graft fusion rate,complications,and JOA score and VAS score were compared.Results Follow-up visit was conducted for all cases,with the time of 12-48 months (22 months on the average).The neurologic symptoms of patients in two groups were relieved obviously after postoperative 1 week,including chest and abdomen constriction feeling,finger pain,finger and lower limb activities.Intervertebral space height of cage +titanium plate group and ROI-C fusion cage group increased to 79.06±6.67 mm and 78.80±6.85 mm respectively after postoperative 3 months from preoperative 47.15±6.96 mm and 46.95±7.14 mm;the Cobb angle increased to 9.29°±12.90° and 8.57°±13.00° respectively after postoperative 3 months from preoperative 4.27°±11.15° and 2.80°±10.81°.In ROI-C group,the operation time,intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications were significantly lower than those in cage+titanium plate group.The differences of two groups have statistical significance.In the last follow-up visit,JOA score of ROI-C group increased to 15.15±0.91 from preoperative 9.32±1.74,with the improvement rate of 75.82％±13.28％;JOA score of cage + titanium plate group increased to 15.29± 1.07 from preoperative 9.11 ± 1.23,with the improvement rate of 77.91％± 14.14％.The differences of two groups in the improvement rate have no statistical significance.Conclusion Curative effects of ROI-C self-locking fusion cage and common cage+titanium plate fixation on treatment of muhi-segment anterior decompression and fusion for cervical spondylotic myelopathy are similar,while ROI-C self-locking fusion cage has such advantages as short operation time,less blood loss,little injury and low complication incidence.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk factors of pinhole infection in the fractured lower limbs after external fixation.

METHODSThe case-control study was designed. From May 2009 to May 2014, the clinical data of 272 patients with lower limb fracture treated by external fixation device were collected. All the patients were divided into two groups according to post-operative pinhole infection. There were 29 cases in the case group including 23 males and 6 females. The age of patients in case group ranged from 25 to 77 years old,with the average age of (53.41 ± 12.77) years old. There were 243 cases in control group including 217 males and 26 females. The age of patients in the control group ranged from 27 to 78 years old, with the average age of (48.71 ± 11.87) years old. There were nine risk factors observed in our study including age, gender, fixed time by external fixation device, diabetes, time in bed, smoking, operation condition of other parts in the body, infection condition of other parts in the body.

RESULTSThe results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences among age (χ² = 15.708, P < 0.001), fixed time by external fixation device (χ² = 11.940, P < 0.001), severity of the lower limb fracture (χ² =15.438, P < 0.001), diabetes (χ² = 8.519, P = 0.004) and time in bed (χ² = 7.165, P = 0.007) between case group and control group. The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of pinhole infection after fixed by external fixation device in the lower limb fracture were the advanced age (OR = 8.327, P < 0.001), fixed time by external fixation device (OR = 6.795, P < 0.001), diabetes (OR = 4.965, P = 0.001) and time in bed (OR = 4.864, P = 0.008).

CONCLUSIONThe advanced age, long fixed time, diabetes and long time in bed could increase the risk of pinhole infection after external fixation in the lower limbs with fracture.

Objective To investigate the hemodynamics of increasing portal venous pressure(PVP) in hepatocellular carcinoma patients complicated with hepatic arterioportal vein fistulas (HAPVF)and the diagnosis and therapy of intractable upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by HAPVF.Methods One hundred and fifteen cases of hepatocellular carcinoma with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage were checked by hepatic arteriography and were treated through orifices embolization in cases with severe HAPCF by coils and/or ethanol. Results Twenty-six out of 31 patients suffering intractable upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage have severe HAPVF(the main stem of portal veins are visible).However,there are only 15 patients with light HAPVF among the 84 patients who have mild upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (the main stem of portal veins are invisible).After the embolization,all of the 26 patients who have severe HAPVF stopped bleeding.Among them,the main stem of hepatic arteries are occluded in 2 patients. Conclusion The existence of severe HAPVF should be taken into consideration when intractable upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurs in hepatocellular carcinoma patients,and it can be diagnosed through hepatic artery DSA.Orifice embolization is the most effective method for such kind of hemorrhage.

Background:Fibroscan is the noninvasive method widely used to evaluate quantitatively the liver fibrosis and monitor the long-term efficacy of anti-fibrosis therapy. Aims:To study the use of Fibroscan for evaluating the efficacy of combined therapy with FuFang BieJia RuanGan tablet and antiviral drugs in patients with hepatitis B virus( HBV)-related cirrhosis. Methods:A total of 90 patients with HBV-related cirrhosis from March 2013 to September 2014 at Shanghai Ren Ji Hospital were recruited,and divided into treatment group and control group. Patients in treatment group received FuFang BieJia RuanGan tablet,and patients in control group received conventional liver-protective drugs,all the patients took nucleoside antiviral drugs at the same time. The treatment courses in both groups were 6 months. Liver stiffness measurement( LSM)was detected by Fibroscan before and after treatment. Biochemical parameters,width of portal vein and clinical symptoms were recorded. Results:After treatment,LSM was significantly decreased in both groups( P <0.05). Liver function,width of portal vein and Child-Pugh score were improved in both groups(P <0. 05),and no significant differences were found between the two groups(P>0. 05). LSM was closely associated with Child-Pugh score both before and after treatment(r=0. 484,P<0. 01;r=0. 523,P<0. 01). Patients with Child-Pugh A had lower LSM than those with Child-Pugh B or Child-Pugh C(P<0. 01). Conclusions:FuFang BieJia RuanGan tablet combined with oral antiviral drugs can remarkably improve the liver function of cirrhotic patients and prevent progression of cirrhosis. Dynamic detection of LSM can be used for monitoring drug efficacy and disease progression in patients with cirrhosis.

An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of four quinolones in soil was developed. Soil samples were extracted by a mixture of 50% magnesium nitrate and 10% ammonia(96∶ 4, V/V)with an ultrasonic-assisted extraction, then purified and concentrated by HLB cartridge, and eluted with acetonitrile and 0.067 mol/L phosphoric acid(5∶ 1, V/V). Using acetonitrile and 0.067 mol/L phosphoric acid(pH=2.5) as the mobile phase, these analytes were quantificated by HPLC(fluorimetric detector) at excitation and emission wavelength of 280 nm and 450 nm respectively. The detective limits for four quinolones in soil were from 0.58 to 0.03 g/kg. The recoveries were 60.4% to 99.3% for soil samples. The method was successfully applied to determine the quinolones in soil samples from vegetable fields. Four quinolone compounds were detected to a different extent with total amounts of quinolones ranged from 27.84 to 129.26 μg/kg.

Objective To compare the effect of hyperfractionation radiotherapy combined with hepatic artery catheterization chemotherapy and hepatic artery ligation (group A, 65 patients) with conventional fractionation radiation combined with hepatic artery catheterization chemotherapy and hepatic artery ligation (group B, 65 patients) for unresectable primary liver cancer.Methods A total of 130 stage Ⅱprimary liver patients confirmed by pathology and evaluated as unresectable by exploratory laparotomy were divided evenly into group A and group B by the sequence of exploration. The two groups were comparable in age, sex, tumor type and positive fetal protein (AFP). Group A patients were treated by hepatic artery chemotherapy (PDD, 10 mg/day) 6 days a week with hepatic artery ligation followed by hyperfractionation radiotherapy (250 cGy/f, bid) 3 days a week with the scheme alternated weekly. Group B patients were treated by conventional fractionation radiotherapy with the same scheme of chemotherapy as group A. The total dose of PDD and radiotherapy for both groups were 240 mg and 45Gy. Results The AFP level was reduced to half in 89.7% of patients in group A and 67.6% in group B. The 1 , 3 and 5 year survival rates were 90.8%, 63.1%, 23.1% for group A and 73.9%, 41.5% 9.2% for group B, the difference was statistically significant (P0.05). Conclusions Hyperfractionation radiotherapy combined with hepatic artery catheterization chemotherapy and hepatic artery ligation is an effective and reasonable therapeutic scheme for unresectable liver cancer. It can effectively relieve symptoms, reduce the tumor, increase second surgical resection rate and prolong the survival. At the same time, the operation is simple and relatively easy.
