BACKGROUND: Nerve root could be directly or indirectly entrapped due to lateral backward prolapse of nucleus pulposus of intervertebral disc, as well as parenchymal inflammatory tumefaction of the soft tissues in nerve root tube. But the factors and their severity related to cervical nerve entrapment at cervical intervertebral foramen and spinal nervous sulcus still need further studies.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the occurrence rate of cervical nerve entrapment at cervical intervertebral foramen and spinal nervous sulcus and the severity of cervical syndrome.DESIGN: A single sample study.SETTING: Department of Anatomy, Department of Geriatrics of the Affiliated Hospital, and Department of Teaching Affairs, Chengde Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: The research was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Chengde Medical College. Totally 120 sides of 60 cadavers(28 males and 32 females) were provided by the Department of Anatomy.METHODS: The outside diameters of cervical intervertebral foramen and spinal nerve root, as well as the width of external opening of spinal nerve sulcus and transverse diameter width of the anterior branch of intra-spinal nerve were measured, and the data were dealt with statistically.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The ratio of transversal diameter of the forepart of cervical nerves to the width of spinal nerve sulcus; the ratio of the peripheral diameter of cervical nerve roots to the size of intervertebral foramen; the occurrence rate where the ratio was ≥ 1.RESULTS: The ratio between cervical nerve root and intervertebral foramen was significantly larger than that between spinal nerve root and spinal nerve sulcus( t = 2.66, P ＜ 0.01 ). The occurrence rate of cervical nerve entrapment at the intervertebral foramen(24.6% ) was higher than that in spinal nerve sulcus(6.3% ), and the difference had a considerable statistical significance(x2 =6.95, P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: It is suggested that the spinal nerve may be entrapped in the cervical intervertebral foramen and the spinal nervous sulcus, and the spinal nerve lesions in the cervical intervertebral foramen was more serious than in the spinal nervous sulcus. Therefore, in clinic, when diagnosing and treating cervical spondylosis, while nerve entrapment at the intervertebral foramen is fully considered, the possibility of nerve entrapment at the spinal nervous sulcus should not be neglected.

[Objective]To review the treating effect of cases of the developmental dysplasia of the hip in old age children by a one-stage combined Pemberton operation and femoral shortening and investgate if the hip joint stiffness rate and ischemic necrosis rate of femoral head after operation are reduced. [Method]From June 2002 to Decempber 2006, 136 hip congenital dislocation of 101 old age children (7 years to 14 years) were treated by Pemberton operation and femoral shortening,and were followed-up from 1.5 years to 4 years(average, 2 years and 7 months).[Result]Thirty-one cases can only bend their hip joint below 90 degrees, accounting for 22.79% of all. Thirty-eight ischemic necrosis of femoral head occurred which accounted for 27.94%.The rate of ischemic necrosis of the femoral head and hip joint stiffness of old age children after operation were reduced obviously according to the standard by Salter.[Conclusion]Pemberton operation and femoral shortening are preferred in treating the developmental dysplasia of the hip of old age children.It can reduce the rate of ischemic necrosis of femoral head and hip joint stiffness.

Objective Dysfunction of cell cycle regulation is one of the key factors for cellular carcinogenesis .This paper aimed to study the expression and significance of cell cycle regulation protein Cyclin D 1-CDK4-p21 in scar cancer . Methods The expressions of Cyclin D1, CDK4 and p21 protains were detected in scar cancer group , pathological scar group and normal skin group respectively by using immunohistochemical staining (SP).The mRNA expression levels of Cyclin D1, CDK4 and p21 were detected by the use of nucleic acid-mediated in-situ hybridization .Correlation analysis was made on the indexes , and the average optical density and positive area were analyzed using image analysis . Results The expressions of Cyclin D1, CDK4 and p21 protains and the mRNA ex-pression levels of cyclin D1, CDK4 and p21 were high in scar cancer group, low in pathological scar group , and negative in normal skin group.The mean optical density and positive area in scar cancer group were significantly different from pathological scar group and normal skin group (P<0.01).But no significant difference was found be-tween pathological scar group and normal skin group (P>0.05).In terms of correlation analysis , the expressions of Cyclin D 1 and CDK4 as well as p21 and CDK4 in scar cancer tissue were both in posi-tive correlations. Conclusion The occurrence of scar cancer is related to the abnormal expression of Cyclin D 1 and CDK4.The complex formed by Cyclin D1 and CDK4 may promote the G1/S transition, proliferation and tumorigenesis of scar cancer .In scar canc-er, the inhibition of Cyclin D1-CDK4 complex might be caused by other members of CKI family or even inbibitors of other families apart from CDK family.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in acute anterior myocardial infarction complicated with heart failure.Methods Two hundred patients suffered from acute anterior myocardial infarction complicated with heart failure were randomly divided into two groups:rhBNP group ( n =100) and control group ( n =100 ).All patients were given conventional treatment,patients in rhBNP group were given rhBNP on the basis of conventional therapy.The clinical effectiveness including the improvement of cardiac function,cardiac ultrasound data,the incidence of hospital adverse cardiac events,and six month follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results The degree of decompensation and Killip class in rhBNP group were better than those of control group after treatment ( improved dyspnea:significantly improved:36 vs 27 ; improved:49 vs 46; no improvement:11 vs 20 ; deterioration:4 vs 7 ; Ridit value:0.4618 vs 0.5382,P =0.043) ( Killip class:significantly improved:26 vs 20; improved:56 vs 45; no improvement:14 vs 25 ; deterioration:4 vs 10; Ridit value:0.4553 vs 0.5447,P =0.017 ).After treatment for one week,The LVEF improvement in rhBNP group was more remarkable than that of control group ( [ 53.0 ± 5.2 ] ％vs.[ 50.0 ±:6.2 ] ％,P =0.014).The occurrence rate of angina ( 13.0％ vs.27.0％,P =0.013 ),heart failure ( 18.0％ vs.32.0％,P =0.022) and major adverse cardiac events(MACE) ( 17.0％ vs.30.0％,P =0.030) inrhBNP group was lower than that in control group.During 6 months follow-up period,event-free survival in rhBNP group was higher than that in control group ( 69.0％ vs.55.0％,P =0.041 ).Conclusion Transvenous injection of rhBNP combined with other routine treatment can improve cardiac function in patients with myocardial infarction in acute anterior myocardial infarction.It can also decrease adverse cardiac events during hospitalization and increase event-free survival in 6 months follow-up period.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of 5-aminolaevulinic acid-photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) in cervical condyloma acuminatum. Methods Forty-five patients with cervical condyloma acuminatum topically applied 10% ALA thermal gel followed by PDT. The treatment was repeated 14 days later if the lesion was not completely removed. Totally, 1 - 4 treatment sessions were given. Thirty-five patients with cervical condyloma acuminatum who received CO2 laser treatment served as the control. All patients were followed up for 12 weeks. Results Complete remission was achieved in 97.8% (44/45) of patients with cervical condyloma acuminatum treated by ALA-PDT, and among the 44 cured patients, 3 were treated by 1 cycle of ALA-PDT, 6 by 2 cycles, 20 by 3 cycles, and 15 by 4 cycles. The lesions of condyloma acuminatum were removed after 1 session of CO2 laser treatment in 30 patients, and after repeated treatments in 5 patients, with the complete remission rate being 100% (35/35). The overall recurrence rate calculated for the whole followup period in patients treated with ALA-PDT was significantly lower than that in patients treated with CO2 laser [6.8% (3/44) vs 31.4% (11/35), x2 = 6.497, P ＜ 0.05]. However, no significant difference in complete remission rate was found between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Almost all the patients in ALA-PDT group presented with pain of bythus during illumination, but no severe side effects or scar formation was observed. In patients treated with CO2 laser, adverse reactions mainly included bleeding, erosion, shallow ulcer and even scar formation. Conclusions Topical ALA-PDT is effective and safe for the treatment and reduction in recurrence of condyloma acuminatum, and may serve as a therapeutic option for cervical condyloma acuminatum.
