[Objective]To establish an animal model of heterotopie ossification(HO)induced by Achilles' tenotomy in Sprague-Dawley(SD)rat and to investigate its possible mechanism.[Method]Thirty six male SD rats were divided into 3 groups(n=12).In sham group,incision and suturation were performed only in the left leg.Partial tenotomy was performed in the left Achilles tendons in PAT group.In AT group,tenotomy was performed in the left Achilles tendons to establish animal model of HO.X-ray and histological examinations were made at 6 and 10 weeks after operation.[Result](1)No HO occurred in the sham and PAT groups.(2)In AT group,3 rats showed cartilage and bone formation on X-rays while the remaining 3 rats showed chondrification in histological examination at 6 weeks after operation.At 10 weeks all rats showed bone formation with trabecular bone.This kind of HO developed through a process of endochondral ossification.[Conclusion]Tenotomy is a simple,effective and feasible method to induce HO.

Objective To investigate the exercise self-regulatory efficacy and its influencing factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) patients with acute exacerbation. Methods A total of 126 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were selected by convenient sampling method and investigated with a demographic questionnaire, EXercise Self-Regulatory Efficacy Scale and Social Support Rating Scale. Results The mean score of exercise self-regulatory efficacy was (79.97 ± 19.78) points at medium level. Multiple-factor analysis showed that availability of social support, other diseases, age and dyssomnia were influencing factors of exercise self-regulatory efficacy of COPD patients with acute exacerbation(t=-3.082-5.351, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions The level of exercise self-regulatory efficacy of COPD patients with acute exacerbation need to be improved, and we should pay more attention to the social support system and the control of other diseases.

Objective To compare the curative effects of multi-level puncture versus single-level puncture percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) for treatment of multiple-level osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures(OVCF) in senile patients.Methods From June 2008 through November 2014,89 senile patients with fresh multiple-level OVCF underwent PVP guided by C-arm fluoroscopy in prone position.Of them,51 received PVP in which the vertebrae of multiple levels were simultaneously punctured for bone cement injection while the other 38 received PVP in which the vertebrae of multiple levels were punctured one by one for bone cement injection.The 2 groups were compatible with no significant differences in preoperative demographic data (P > 0.05).The 2 groups were compared in terms of visual analgesic scale (VAS),operation time for a single vertebra,fluoroscopy times for a single vertebra,bone cement injection amount for a single vertebra,and extraosseous cement leakage.Results PVP procedures were successful in both groups without serious complications.The VAS scores in both groups at 2 days post-operation were significantly lower than those at pre-operation(P < 0.05).The operation time and fluoroscopy times for a single vertebra in the multi-level puncture PVP group were significantly less than those in the single-level puncture PVP group (P < 0.05).There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in bone cement injection amount for a single vertebra or extraosseous cement leakage (P > 0.05).Conclusions The curative effects of multi-level puncture and single-level PVP are satisfactory for senile OVCF,but multi-level puncture PVP may lead to less operation time and less X-ray exposure.

Three hundred patients with Graves′ disease (GD) were analysed according to clinical data, which showed a negative correlation between thyroid 131 I turnover and effective half life, suggesting that 131 I turnover is an important parameter for GD therapy of 131 I dose calculation, and a higher cure rate is found in GD patients whose 131 I turnover is less than 1.

Conclusions The incidence of malignant neoplasm among postmenopausal bleeding women aged 60 and over is 24.2%,ultrasonographic evaluation and CA125 value are reliable and important for diagnosis accurately. Large operation is safe and feasible in aged women.

Objective To investigate the effects of local injection of Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) on hemifacial spasm guided by periph-eral nerve stimulation. Methods 57 patients with hemifacial spasm from January, 2012 to June, 2015 received local multi-point injection of BTX-A guided by peripheral nerve stimulation. The grades of facial spasm were evaluated before, 72 hours and 6 months after treatment. They were followed up for 3-9 months. Results The spasm reduced in the patients both 72 hours and 6 months after treatment (χ2=4.946, P<0.05). The incidence was 98.25% of satisfaction and 92.99% of very well 72 hours after treatment, while it was 91.23% and 78.95% 6 months after treatment. The relief of spasm was maintained for (23.1 ± 2.3) weeks. Conclusion Injection of BTX-A guided by peripheral nerve stimulation is effective on hemifacial spasm for a long time.

Objective To establish an appropriate cut-off value of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and optimal combination measurement in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods This research is a prospective study.342 patients admitted to emergency department with chest pain,43 patients with renal failure,40 patients with pneumonia and 18 premature with patent ductus arteriosus were involved from June 2012 to June 2013 in Peking University Third Hospital.The plasma hs-TnT,NT-proBNP,cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI),CK-MB and copeptin were measured.The distribution of hs-cTnT among associated diseases was analyzed,the diagnostic performance of hs-cTnT and the role of combination hs-cTnT with NT-proBNP,CK-MB and copeptin were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.The statistical method was used to calculate the Sensitivity,specificity,negative predictive value and positive predictive value of hs-cTnT in the diagnosis of AMI.Results As compared to patients with STEMI(median 0.52 μg/L,range 0.037-7.610 μg/L),hs-cTnT was lower in the patients with Non-STEMI(median 0.127 5 μg/L,range 0.021-4.260 μg/L).However,the levels of hs-TnT in other diseases were also increased increased in varyng degrees (Chi-square =76.432,P < 0.05)The areas under the curve (AUC) for hs-cTnT and cTnI in the diagnosis of AMI were 0.862 (95% CI:0.729-0.928) and 0.748 (95% CI0.666-0.818) respectively (Z =2.713,P < 0.05).Taking 0.014μg/L and 0.035 μg/L as cut-off value of hs-TNT,the sensitivities were 100% vs 95.1%,the specificities were 44.4% vs 65.7%.The combination of hs-cTnT,NT-proBNP,CK-MB resulted in a increase in AUC (0.915,95% CI:0.838-0.964) (Z =2.147,P < 0.05) and the combination of hs-cTnT and copeptin resulted in a increase in AUC 0.921 (95% CI:0.820-0.975) (Z =2.589,P < 0.05).Conclusion With the cut-off value of 0.035 μg/L for diagnosis of AMI was appropriate,and the combination measurement can improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of AMI.
