Objective To explore the diagnostic value of nerve root sedimentation disease to symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and nonspecific low back pain(LBP).Methods One hundred and eighty lumbocrural pain patients in the People's Hospital of Binzhou from Jan.2010 to Jun.2013 were divided into LSS group and LBP group,and 90 patients in each group.The rate of nerve root sedimentation in two groups was recorded.Results There were 84 cases(93.3％) with positive nerve root sedimentation in group LSS,while 0 case in LBP group,and the difference was significant (P =0.000).The pain visual analogue score (VAS) between the two groups were no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The Oswestry disability index (ODI) in LSS group was (60.3 ± 5.1) ％,lower than that in LBP group (66.4 ± 6.3) ％,and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.021).Cross-sectional area (CSA) of the LSS group was (68.9 ± 7.0) mm2,lower than that in LBP group ((168.2 ± 13.8) mm2),and the difference was statistically significant (t =26.173,P =0.000).There was no significant correlation between ODI and CSA (r =0.18,P =0.098).Conclusion The nerve root sedimentation disease is higher in LSS patients and positive of sedimentation disease can serve as a diagnosed marker of LSS.

Objective To investigate the effect of equol on ERK mediated signal transduction pathway and to clarify its mechanism of proliferation inhibition on human ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV-3. Method SKOV-3 cells were treated with 10-8,10-7,10-6,10-5,5?10-5,10-4 mol/L equol for 24,48 and 72h. After pretreatment with 10 ?mol/L U0126 an ERK signaling pathway inhibitor or ICI182,780,estrogen receptor inhibitors for 1h,then treatment with 50 ?mol/L equol for 2h,the cell viability was examined and the expressions of ERK and p-ERK protein were determined using Western blotting. Results Equol was demonstrated to inhibit SKOV-3,proliferation time-and dose-dependently. The expression of p-ERK protein was decreased in dose-dependent manner,while the expression of total ERK was unchanged. Both the single use of U0126,or ICI182,780,and combined with equol could decrease the expression of p-ERK protein. Conclusion Equol could inhibit proliferation in ovarian carcinoma cell lines SKOV-3. Its inhibitory effect appears to be due to down-regulation of p-ERK protein.

Objective To establish a human HepG2 cell growth model under the low oxygen environment induced by cobalt chloride in order to observe the impacts of human HepG2 cell proliferation,cellular cycles and apoptosis,namely cellular growth conditions,under the low oxygen environment induced by cobalt chloride with different concentrations and to study the HepG2 cell growth mechanism under the low oxygen environment induced by cobalt chloride.Methods The human HepG2 cells in the logarithmic phase were randomized grouping as control group and CoCl2 experimental group with different concentrations (50 μm/L,100 μm/L,150 μm/L and 200 μm/L).① HepG2 cell proliferation was tested by MTT assay to calculate cell's suppression rate and draw HepG2 cell growth inhibition curves.② The move ability of HepG2 cells was observed by scratch test.③ The cellular apoptosis and periodic changes were detected using the flow cytometer Annexin-V FITC/PI double-staining and PI single staining methods.④HepG2 cell's Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and Bcl-2 protein expression were detected by Western Blot.Results ① The test results obtained via MTT assay showed that CoCl2 suppressed the human HepG2 cell proliferation within a certain amount of time and concentration and presented a time-dose dependent relation.② Scratch damage trial suggested that the cobalt chloride suppressed the HepG2 cell migration and wound repair capacity and presented a concentration dependent relation.③ Flow cytometer' s test results revealed that the apoptosis rates (％) in control group and experimental group with different concentrations (50 μm/L,100 μm/L,150 μm/L and 200 μm/L) were 3.42,7.74,13.07,20.56,28.53 and 44.45 (P ＜0.05),respectively.The apoptosis rate of the experimental group was significantly increased compared with the control group,as well as showing a concentration dependency.The results of cellular cycles revealed that the cobalt chloride significantly suppressed the HepG2 cell's periodic changes along with increases of concentration,as well as blocked the cell cycle staying in phase G1,thereby suppressing cell proliferation.④Western Blot test:Compared with the control group,the Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly decreased in the experimental group after treatment of cobalt chloride with different concentrations.Conclusion Within a certain range,CoC12-indiuced low oxygen environment can suppress the human HepG2 cell proliferation and healing migration capacity,induce apoptosis and present a time-dose dependent relation.The mechanism is likely associated with decreases of Bcl-2 protein expression.

Objective To compare the importance of heart murmurs and transcutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2)in screening neonatal congenital heart diseases(CHD),and to explore a reliable and easy-to-use method for the screening of CHD. Methods All infants (16 070 cases) born in Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from May 1 st 2011 to April 30 th 2013 were screened of CHD for heart murmurs and SpO2 . The screen-positive infants were divided into 3 groups:heart murmurs group,abnormal SpO2 group and mixed group. All screen-positive infants re-ceived cardiac color ultrasound to make a definite diagnosis of CHD,so as to compare the values of heart murmurs and SpO2 . Results Eight thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine boys and 7 271 girls were screened,in which the ratio was 1. 21:1. 00. One hundred and eighteen infants were screened positive,including 76 murmurs of which 45 were confirmed as CHD,28 with abnormal SpO2 of which 18 were confirmed and 14 mixed of which 13 were confirmed,so the confirmation rates were 59. 21%,64. 29% and 92. 86%,respectively. The diagnostic rate of CHD in mixed group was higher than other 2 groups,which had statistical significance(P=0. 045). The top three formation types of CHD were ventricular septal defect (VSD) (29/76 cases,38. 16%),patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (13/76 cases, 17. 11%) and atrial septal defect (ASD) (11/76 cases,14. 48%). Conclusions The combination of heart murmurs and SpO2 was useful in increasing detection and decreasing misdiagnosis of CHD.

Objective To research the diagnostic value of troponin in the acute myocardial infarction after cardiac surgery.Methods The prospective study method was used.One hundred and thirtyfour patients of cardiac surgery were selected as observation group,36 patients of thoracic surgery were selected as control group.All the patients were given continuous electrocardiogram monitoring and measured troponin I,and the results were compared between the 2 groups.Results There was no statistical difference in the troponin I before anesthesia between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The troponin I 4 h after surgery was (13.010 ± 14.829) μg/L in observation group,(0.019 ± 0.007) μg/L in control group,there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).One case of observation group happened the acute myocardial infarction after cardiac surgery,the troponin I was ＞ 40.000 μ g/L.Conclusions The troponin is obviously increased in the early stage in most patients of cardiac surgery,the false positive rate in diagnostic acute myocardial infarction is higher according to the troponin.For troponin,it will need the more evidence of evidence-based medicine to establish the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction after cardiac surgery.

Objective To describe an ideal technique to repair full-thickness lower lid marginal defects in a one-stage procedure. Methods The buccal rotation flap and the nasal septal chondromucosal flap were used in one-stage operation to repair full-thickness lower eyelid defect. Results Eleven patients including 6 male patients and 5 female patients underwent lower eyelid reconstruction since January 2000.The age ranged from 29 to 64 years with average 43. Seven patients with full-thickness lower eyelid defect were caused by basal cell carcinoma excision, while four patients were caused by trauma. All the fullthickness lower eyelid defects were reconstructed by using the buccal rotation flap and the nasal septal chondromucosal flap in one-stage operation. All the flaps survived completely after operation. There were no other complications excepting that two patients developed to mild lower eyelid retration after six months. Conclusion The technique consisting of the buccal rotation flap and the nasal septal chondromucosal flap is a simple and useful alternative procedure to close full-thickness defects in the lower eyelid.

Objective The stress reaction in double-balloon enteroscopy was investigated,the influencing factors and intervention countermeasures were studied.Methods Cardiovascular effects and physiological reactions of 60 double-balloon enteroscopy patients were surveyed.The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the cardiovascular effects to underwent single factor analysis of related factors.Results The incidence of physiological reactions was 68.3%,the incidence of cardiovascular reactions was 56.7%.Evident difference existed in blood pressure,heart rate and blood oxygen saturation rate before,during and after examination.The grouping analysis showed cardiovascular effects were influenced by many kinds of factors.Conclusions Different degrees of the stress reactions in double-balloon enteroscopy might appear.The influencing factors included the enteroscopy mode and time,gender,age,mood,and physician operation experience.The stress reactions might be reduced by taking the corresponding intervention measures according to the influencing factors.

Objective To study the feasibility of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation in treatment of thoraco-lumbar fractures.Methods Twenty-two patients with thoraeo-lumbar fractures were treated with the posterior percutaneous or open pedicle screw fixation respectively.Operation time,the bleeding volume,the height of the anterior border,the cobb angles of seoliosis,the late loss of correction,and complications were compared.Results All patients were followed up for mean 19 months(13 to 22 months).In percutaneous group,the mean time of operation was 102 minutes,the anterior height of compressed vertebral bodies was restored from 52% to 95% of the normal height,and the Cobb angle was corrected from 16?to 6.3?,the mean late loss of correction was 13% in percutaneous group,and there were no significant differences between the two groups(P＞0.05).The mean bleeding volume in the percutaneous group and open group was 102 ml and 290 ml respectively,which showed significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation in treatment of thoracolumar fractures,which didn't need vertebral canal decompression,was a perfect and effective method.Compared with open method,it had such strongpoints as quicker recovery and less invasive.

Objective To evaluate the value of CT guided percutaneous lumbar diskectomy (CT PLD) at plateau area. Methods Sixty eight cases of lumbar disc herniation was reated with CT PLD. (1)Before operation, diseased intervertebral disc was scanned, cases were selected, and operation plan was plotted . (2)The best puncture arrangement was chosen on the current video CT picture by designing the puncture path, noting down the puncture parameter, and marking the puncture spot on patient′s body surface. (3)Puncture was performed according to fixed parameter. (4)Operation was performed after the puncture needle was put into the disc ascertained by scan.(5)CT scan was done again after operation to observe if the puncture path had bleeding and intervertebral disc recovery. Results After 3 to 18 months′ follow up, 28 cases were prominent effective and 36 cases effective. The lumbar disc backed 1 to 4 mm. The total effective rate was 94.12%. Conclusion CT PLD is an ideal therapeutic method for lumbar disc herniation at plateau area because it is safe and effective and with less complications.

Objective To explore the effect of nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen scaffolds incorporating ADM-PLGA microspheres in repairing large bone defects of rabbit femoral condyle. Methods Animal models of bone defects were induced in 21 New Zealand white rabbits by drilling holes in bilateral femoral lateral condyles , and the rabbits were equally divided into 3 groups:group A as the control group with the defects untreated , group B treated by filling with nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen scaffolds (NHAC), and group C treated by filling with the nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen scaffolds incorporating ADM-PLGA microspheres (ADM-PLGA-NHAC). At week 12 after implanting , the rabbits were all sacrificed for the implanted scaffolds , which were then examined by X-ray , and Micro-CT 3D reconstruction and in histology for evaluation of the new bone formation. Results X-ray, Micro-CT and the measurement and analysis of BMD indicated thatthere was no significant differencein the new bone formation between group B and group C (P > 0.05). The histological examination revealed that. 12 weeks after operation an evident number of new born bones were seen on the implanted scaffolds in groups B and C , while very few were seen scattering in group A. Conclusion The nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen scaffolds incorporating ADM-PLGA microspheres is effective in repairing bone defect without influencing the prosthetic process.
