Objective To evaluate the early effect of Wallis interspinous dynamic stabilization system (Wallis system) in treatment of lumbar degenerative disease. Methods From January 2008 to Jan-uary 2009,21 patients(23 intervertebral spaces) with early lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis were treated with Wallis system. Four intervertebral spaces of L_(3-4) 19 intervertebral spaces of L_(4-5). Observed the time of total operation and implantation,the blood loss,and early recovery. The patients' visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores were evaluated before and after operation. Results All patients were followed up for average (12.5 ± 0.4) months (7-18 months) after operation. The VAS and ODI scores at 7 days after operation dropped from (7.5 ± 1.5), (40.0 ± 2.0) scores before operation to (2.5 ± 0.5), (23.0 ± 1.5) scores (P < 0.01). Conclusion It is safe and easy to use Wallis system in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease, with the advantage of mini-invasion and early effect.

Objective To study the relationship between the semen quality and age in infertile men in Qingyuan.Methods 727 cases of infertile men from Reproductive Medicine Center outpatient were enrolled and divided into 5 groups:≤ 25,> 25 - 30,>30-35,>35-40,>40 age groups.The semen characteristics were carried out by calculator assistance sperm analysis(CASA) technique and Diff-Quick staining method.Results The sperm density of >30 -35 age group was the highest,but there was no significantly difference from other groups(P >0.05).Semen analysis showed that the rates of PR,PR+NP and survival sperm were on downward trends with the increase of age,but not statistically significant(P >0.05).38.19% of >25 -30 age group reached WHO′s semen parameters standard,which was the highest proportion among 5 groups.And the proportion in >40 age group was the lowest,which counted for 27.42%.Conclusion The semen quality shows a down trend with the increase of age,however,the infertility could occur in the reproductive men at any stage.
