Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and improvement of patients' quality of life in tension-free vaginal tape(TVT)and tension-free vaginal tape obturator(TVT-O)for surgical treatment of severe female stress urinary incontinence.Methods This study was a randomized,singleblinded,controlled trial.Patients were randomized by a computer-generated randomization schedule with allocation to either TVT or TVT-O procedure.TVT procedure was performed in 35 cases and TVT-O in 34 cases.None had received surgery for urinary incontinence or was in pregnancy.Transvaginal hysterectomy and prolapse reparation were done simultaneously in some of the patients.All patients were requested to complete the Urinary Distress Inventory(UDI-6)and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire(ⅡQ-7)as part of their pre-and postoperative assessment.Results All patients were evaluable and the mean follow-up was 14.5 months.The mean operative time was(18±5)min in the TVT-O group,Significantly shorter than in the TVT group(27±5)min(P＜0.01).The two groups did not differ significantly in perioperative blood loss,postoperative complications(including tape erosion,pain in thigh or behind pubis),postvoid residual volume,hospital stays or expenses(all P＞ 0.05).Sixty patients were successfully treated for stress urinary incontinence(88.6%and 85.3%for TVT and TVT-O groups,respectively).There were significant improvements in postoperative scores for both the ⅡQ-7 and the UDI-6(P＜0.01),except in subscale measuring symptoms of voiding dysfunction(P＞0.05).Conclusions Both techniques appear to be equally effective in the surgical treatment of severe stress urinary incontinence in a short term review.Significant improvements could also be seen in patients' quality of life.However.TVT-O has a shorter operative time.No evidence of increasing risk of urethral obstruction after the operation could be found.Long term followups axe necessary to evaluate outcomes of different types of surgery for stress urinary incontinence.

Objective To investigate biomechanical analysis of poly DL-lactic acid (PDLLA)biodegradable fusion cage of the lumbar vertebrae in vivo degradation. Methods Forty-eight healthy adult porcine were divided into experimental group and control group at randomly. PDLLA cage full of autogenous bone and bone block with the same size were planted in L45 intervertebrae respectively. At the 1st, 3rd, 6th,9th, 12th, and 18th month postoperatively, the animals were sacrificed and the surgical spinal segment was observed. The range of motion (ROM) was measured. Results The ROMs had no statistical differences at all motion directions between the two froups at the 1st month postoperatively. But the ROMs of experimental group were greater than those of control group at extension direction at the 3rd and 6th month postoperatively. The ROMs of extension was the greatest while the ROMs of right rotation was the least in both groups. At the 9th month postoperatively: the ROMs of experimental group greater than those of control group except at rotation. The ROMs of right rotation was the least in both groups. The greatest ROMs was at extension in experimental group and at right bending in control group. ALL ROMs tended to decrease and the ROMs of extension had comparability between tow groups. At the 12th month postoperatively, experimental group had greater ROMs at extension and left bending and less ROMs at other directions. Likewise statistical differences showed only at extension. 18th month postoperatively all ROMs were close between two groups. Conclusion After PDLLA cage is planted, the first 3 months is autologous stable stage. The period of 3rd to 6th months is easily released stage. The operative segments are stable from 9th to 12th months and acquired.Critical period between stability and instability is from 6th to 9th months. Bone fusion is from 12th to 18th months postoperatively.

BACKGROUND:Metal vertebral fusion cage can induce some disadvantages and pseudoarticulation formation such as stress dodge,fusion cage subsidence,bone resorption,prolapse and bone collapse.Biodegradable absorbing material-made vertebral fusion cage can avoid disadvantages mentioned above.There are no studies on correlation of material function to design of absorbing fusion cage of lumbar vertebrae.OBJECTIVE:To design and fabricate the poly DL-lactic acid biodegradable fusion cage of lumbar vertebrae,and to analyze the material characteristics.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The material in vivo experiment was performed at the Chengdu Institute of Organic Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences from January 2003 to December 2006.MATERIALS:Twenty dogs aged 12 months were obtained from Animal Laboratory of West China,Sichuan University.Poly DL-lactic acid biodegradable fusion cage of lumbar vertebrae was produced by the Chengdu Institute of Organic Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences.METHODS:According to the anatomical characters and measured data of lumbar intervertebral disc,we designed the poly DL-lactic acid biodegradable fusion cage of lumbar vertebrae.The rectangle cage consists of two styles:23 mm and 25 mm,13 mm in width,and 9,10,11 and 12 in depth(anterior wall).The depth was small half-moon shape from anterior to posterior,and the posterior wall was thinner than anterior wall about 1.5mm to accord with the shape of intervertebral discs.The depth of four walls of the fusion cage was 2.5 mm,with several 1-mm diameter holes on bilateral walls.The posterior wall had 3.5-mm diameter spiral hole,which was used for connecting with the implanted tool.Using precise shaping processing craft,the produce process was DL-lactic acid→raw material storage→lactide preparation→lactide purification→polymerization→drying package→product.After general anesthesia,bilateral thighs were incised in 20 dogs,and then a fusion cage was implanted into each dog to detect compressive strength and viscosity in the process of biodegradation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Preparation of fusion cage;compressive strength and viscosity in the process of biodegradation in vivo.RESULTS:The size of the products is 23 mm?13 mm?10 mm and the appearance of the products were saw tooth shape,which could prevent the slide,enhance the solid strength between fusion cage and the surface of vertebra.Small holes on the bilateral wall were beneficial for vascular growth and nutrient fluid exchange,resulting in bony fusion.Compressive strength and viscosity decreased at 3,6 and 9 months after implantation(r=0.961,P=0.009),but compressive strength and viscosity were good at 12 months(163 MPa and 0.66 dl/g).CONCLUSION:Poly DL-lactic acid biodegradable fusion cage has a big loading implanted bone mass and high stability.The integrity and supportive effect of the fusion cage can meet the requirement of bony fusion.
