Objective To discuss the selection of surgical procedures for the treatment of spinal tu-berculosis according to the status of segmental stability of the spine. Methods One hundred adult patients with spinal tuberculosis were treated surgically between January 1998 and December 2003. There were 57 males and 43 females with an average age of 39.4 years and an average history of 16 months. The lesion ranged from T2 to S 2, and involved single vertebral body in 3 cases, double vertebral bodies in 66 cases, and more than two vertebral bodies in 31 cases. Of 100 cases, 32 were with neurological dysfunctions, and 65 were accompanied by kyphotic deformity with an average Cobb angels of 36.4? (20? to 48?). Preoperative chemotherapy of four drugs lasted more than two weeks. Three surgical procedures were performed according to the status of segmental stability of the spine: 12 cases without spine instability underwent single debride-ment, 8 cases of spine instability with debridement and interbody fusion, and 80 cases of significant insta-bility with debridement, fusion and internal fixation. Results All patients' incision healed without chronic infection and sinus formation. 95 patients were followed up with an average of 2.9 years ranged 1 to 77 years except 5 patients lost at follow up. 68 cases with anterior fusion achieved solid fusion in average 3.5 months. 65 cases with kyphotic deformity had an average correction of 20.2? postoperatively, and 2? to 4? loss during follow-up. 32 cases with neurological deficits had an improvement of neurological function postoperatively. One patient of L 4,5 tuberculosis treated with anterior debridement, fusion and instrumentation recurred at 7 months due to an inadequate postoperative chemotherapy of 6 months, and healed with a continuous chemotherapy for 18 months, However, satisfactory clinical results were obtained in other patients without any recurrence. A left external iliac vein was torn and repaired successfully in 1 case. Conclusion The maintenance of segmental stability has significant effect in the surgical treatment of spinal tuberculosis. Sta-tus of segmental stability of each patient should be evaluated preoperatively. Satisfactory clinical results can be achieved by proper selection of the surgical procedure according to the status of segmental stability.

[Objective]To analyze the reasons and counter treatment of complication after prosthetic disc nucleus implantation.[Method]From Feb 2002 to Aug 2004,80 patients of lumbar disc herniation were implanted with one single PDN device at our centre.65 patients of them came to the clinical,functional,and radiographic follow-up examinations,magnetic resonance images and follow-up records of all patients were reviewed carefully.They were divided into three groups.Group A:30 cases had at least 24 months follow-up data.Group B:23 cases had at least 36 months follow-up data.Group C:12 cases had at least 48 months follow-up data.[Result]After implantation,device migrations were noticed in 3 patients.24 cases experienced low back pain.In 24~48 month follow-up,the MR images of 39 patients had shown the abnormal signal pattern of the endplate where PDN-solo was implanted,even 32 of them had been found subsidence.In Group A,the height of intervertebral disc at the 24 month follow-up was decreased 4%.In Group B,at 36 month follow-up,it was decreased 12%.In Group C,at 48 month follow-up,it was decreased 18%.[Conclusion]After follow-up,the clinical effect of PDN is preferred.However,the complications of device dislocation,device subsidence remain problems that must be highlighted.This study suggested that the complications of PDN are serious.Therefore,the proper selecting patients for PDN replacement are crucial for good results.The indications for PDN must be restricted.

Objective To investigate the causes and prevention strategies of postoperative spinal cord injury after anterior approach surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Methods The clinical data of 749 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy treated with anterior approach surgery from 2001 to 2009 were retrospectively studied.There were five patients with spinal cord dysfunction instantly or early after operation,including three males and two females at average age of 52 years (range,48-62 years).Two patients were combined with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score was average 12.4(9-16)preoperatively.The surgeries included anterior cervical diskectomy(or corpectomy)and interbody fusion(iliac bone graft or cage or titanium mesh)and locking plates fixation.The blood loss was 50-200 ml.The symptoms included instant spinal cord injury in two patients,loss of the motor and feeling of both legs at 6 h after surgery in one,paralysis of one side limbs at 24 h after surgery in one and numbness of limbs at 5 days after surgery in one.Four patients were treated by large dose of methylprednisolone.Five patients underwent anterior exploration surgery,of which one patient received posterior cervical one-door expansive laminoplasty. Results The patients were followed up for average 16 months(12-24 months).The JOA score of four patients was recovered at three months and WaS better than preoperation after surgery.The function of spinal cord of one patient showed no improvement at one year after surgery.The causes for spinal cord injury included inappropriate surgical manipulation in decompression and haemostasis in two patients,insufficient decompression in one,epidural hematoma in one and absorbable hemostatic gauze in one. Conclusions The major causes of postoperative spinal cord injury in anterior approach surgery for cervical spondylofic myelopathy are the delayed postoperative injury.The spinal cord can recover to normal and has satisfactory prognosis if discovered promptly.We must avoid the spinal cord injury by surgical Manipulation that may result in permanent neurological deficits.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the structural characteristics and biocompatibility of a novel nano-Ta-Ti alloy rod for its potential application in internal fixation.

METHODSTa coating of a Ti alloy rod with nano-Ta (tantalum) powder was performed using laser melting with symmetrical grooves repleted with nano-Ta powder along the whole length. The microstructure of the cross section of Ta-Ti alloy rod, pore diameter and components of the coating were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The influence of this nano-Ta-Ti alloy on proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells was evaluated by MTT cytotoxicity test and ALP activity test.

RESULTSUnder scanning electron microscope, the Ta-coating surface presented with a gross porous (200-300 µm) structure with dense fusion between Ta particles, and no new element was produced after laser melting. Biocompatibility evaluation showed that Ti alloys with and without Ta coating both promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, but the coated alloy showed better performance and obviously promoted the differentiation of the osteoblasts.

CONCLUSIONAlloying between Ta and Ti can be accomplished successfully by laser melting technique, and the alloy obtained has ideal surface structure and good biocompatibility.

Objective To explore the laboratory culture and identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis L forms (MTB-L),isolation rate and drug resistance in smear-positive tuberculosis patients,and to improve clinical attention to MTB-L.Methods 222 smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients treated in our hospital from September 2017 to December 2017 were randomly selected for MGIT 960 and 92-3TB-L liquid culture.After MGIT 960 was reported positive,acid-fast staining was performed on the precipitated smears of 92-3TB-L liquid medium for preliminary screening.The suspected L-positive strain culture was transformed into improved TSA-L solid medium to observe the colony characteristics and microscopic characteristics.The properties of the strain were confirmed by acid-fast staining and tuberculosis DNA amplification.Drug susceptibility and mutation sites of drug resistance genes were analyzed in MTB-L.Results Ⅰ-dentification of MTB-L:after the positive strain has been cultured,the colonies have the characteristics of "fried egg sample","particle-like" and " filament-like".MTB confirmed by tubercle DNA amplification experiments.Isolation rate:after cultured by MGIT 960 and Modified 92-3TB-L medium,the positive rate of single bacterial type was 50.90％,(113/222) the positive rate of both bacterial type and L type was 15.32％ (34/222),and the positive rate of MTB-L type was 2.25％ (5/222).Drug resistance:MTB-L was resistant to Streptomycin,Isoniazid,Rifampin,and Ethanol butylamine.No mutation was found in the drug resistance gene loci.Conclusions Clinical laboratory should routinely develop the culture of L-form of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria,and increase the clinical attention to MTB-L.

Objective:To explore the feasibility, safety and effectivity of applying transmesenteric vein extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TEPS) to treat extrahepatic portal vein obstructive disease (EHPVOD).Methods:From December 2020 to April 2021, 12 patients with EHPVOD in the Vascular Surgery Department of Zhengzhou University People′s Hospital were prospectively enrolled in the study. The infra-umbilical median longitudinal minilaparotomy was performed to expose the branch of superior mesenteric vein (SMV). RUPS-100 was introduced into the trunk of SMV. A balloon with a diameter of 20 mm was introduced through right internal jugular vein (RIJV) into inferior vena cava (IVC). Under fluoroscopy, RUPS-100 was used to puncture the balloon in IVC. A stiff guide wire was used to establish the pathway between RIJV and SMV. Finally the portosystemic shunt between IVC and SMV was established with a covered stent-graft. The total operative time, the time of establishing portosystemic shunt alone, the dosage of contrast agent, the preoperative and postoperative pressure of SMV were recorded. Paired t test was used to compare the preoperative and postoperative pressure of SMV. Results:All 12 patients were successfully performed TEPS. The total operative time was (113±32) min, the time of establishing portosystemic shunt alone was (31±5) min, the dosage of contrast agent was (129±48) ml. The postoperative pressure of SMV [(14.3±2.1) mmHg] decreased significantly ( t=20.125, P<0.01) compared to baseline [(27.8±2.7) mmHg]. All portal hypertension symptoms released after the operations.There was 1 case of delayed incision healing, 1 case of bacteremia and 1 case of slight hepatic encephalopathy, but all of them were cured. There was no death case. Postoperative CT showed all portosystemic shunts were patent. Conclusion:TEPS is a new, safe, effective and feasible treatment method for patients of acute and chronic EHPVOD.

Objective This study aimed to explore the differences in global and local brain network topological properties between deficient pattern(DP)and excess pattern(EP)of mild vascular cognitive impairment caused by subcortical small vessel disease based on graph theory network.Methods Patients were recruited prospectively and were classified with DP and EP subtype.The global small-world topological attributes and local nodes were calculated for the comparison of DP,EP,and healthy controls(CN)using the GRETNA platform.Results The three groups all had small-world attributes,but only the patients in EP had a significantly lower small world attribute δ in the range of 0.05-0.26 than the control group(P<0.05).The node efficiency and node strength indicators of multiple brain region were able to significantly distinguish the DP group from the EP group.However,there was no positive brain region in the node efficiency of the DP patients(P>0.05),and only a few brain regions showed increased node strength efficiency(P<0.05).Conclusion The results indicate that the syndrome of DP and EP have significantly different neuroimaging phenotypes,providing a basis for further research of biological classification based on Chinese Medicine syndromes.
