The cervical spinal canal at C_3-C_7 (200 in total) of 40 adult cervical spinal columns were measured on the axis radiograph. The diameter and area of spinal canal and corresponding spinal cord were investigated with vernier calipers and planimeter.The average values of the measurements are reported as follows:1. The sagittal and transverse diameter of the cervical spinal canal at C_3-C_7 are 13.71?1.31mm and 24.15?1.91mm, while those of the corresponding segment of spinal cord are 7.99?1.01mm and 13.35?1.64mm, respectively.2. The total area of the spinal canal and spinal cord at C_3-C_7 are 239.35?41.78 mm~1 and 106.6?9.9 mm~2, respectively. These data were studied with computer using multiple linear regression analysis program and a calculating formula of cervical spinal canal and the corresponding segment of spinal cord were inferred.Since sagittal and transverse diameters of vertebral canal and cervical spinal cord are measured, we may calculate the both area by using above mentioned formula. This will offer a new method for diagnosis of spinal canal stenosis and spondylosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of p38 MAPK inhibitor on glutamate (Glu), glutamine (Gln), taurine amino acid (Tau), glycine (Gly) and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in hippocampus of rats with vascular dementia (VD).Methods Twenty-four healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, VD model group and inhibitor group. VD model was established by permanent ligation of bilateral carotid artery method, and the sham operation group stripping bilateral carotid artery but not ligation. Rats of the inhibitor group were injected p38 MAPK inhibitor SB202190 after the establishment of VD model. Morris water maze was used to evaluate the learning and memory function of rats. The samples of DG region of hippocampus were collected by microdialysis, and the contents of amino acids were detected. Results The learning and memory abilities were significantly better in sham operation group and p38 MAPK inhibitor group than those of VD model group. The latency time was significantly shorter in p38 MAPK group than that of VD model group. The time of locating the platform quadrant and the number of crossing the original platform were significantly higher in sham operation group and p38 MAPK inhibitor group than those of VD model group (P <0.05). Compared with sham group, the levels of Glu, Gln and Tau were significantly lower, and Gly and GABA were significantly higher, in VD group and p38 MAPK inhibitor group (P<0.05). Compared with VD group, Glu, Gln and Tau were significantly increased, Gly and GABA were significantly decreased in p38 MAPK inhibitor group (P<0.05). Conclusion p38 MAPK inhibitor has protective effect on VD hippocampal injury, which may be related to its ability to inhibit VD-induced abnormal secretion of amino acids and regulate the secretion of various amino acids.

By integrating bone-remodeling theory with finite element (FEM) models, the behavior of femoral remodeling after implantation of artificial femoral head was simulated and the stress shield effect of artificial femoral head on the femur was analyzed quantitatively. Bone was calculated with finite element code of the FEM model. The normal loading condition of femur was used as Model One, and the stress condition that bone was fixed by the bone-cement of the artificial head with collar was used as Model Two. It has been shown that bone was stress-shielded by the artificial femoral head and femur resorbed. Bone resorption near the proximal artificial stem was very severe. Its cross-section resorbed the greatest. The ratio of cross-sectional resorption was psi = 31.3% and the ratio of loss of the anti-bend cross-sectional modulus was zeta = 54.58%.
