[Methods]Forty-three patients with lumbar tuberculosis were treated operatively through anterior and posterior combined approach.The postoperative neurologic status (ASIA,2000),graft fusion,deformity correction and complications were observed and analyzed respectively.[Results]Forty-one patients were followed up for a duration of 24~36 months (mean 28.3 months).A solid fusion was achived in all cases.The neurologic function was improved in all patients in different grades.The mean kyphotic angle was corrected by 21.3 degrees,the angle loss was 1?~3?,the mean vertebral height was restored by 10.2 mm,the mean height loss was 2.4 mm.There was no recurrence of the tuberculosis infection.[Conclusion]One-stage posterior deformity correction with transpedicular screw system and anterior radical debridement following reconstuction with titanium mesh cage is a safe and effective method in the surgical management of lumbar tuberculosis.

Objective To analyze the effect of cigarette smoking on replantation of amputed digit, investigate the pathologic mechanism of vascular crisis(VC) caused by smoking. Methods 1)The replantation risk factor such as smoking to VC and blood insufficiency of replanted digit was reviewed in 1 685 cases of digit replantation. 2)The complications after digit replantation in short and long terms among patients smoking were compared with those not smoking after operation. The results of management and time of appearance VC was assayed. 3)The possible pathologic mechanism of VC caused by smoking was analyzed. Results 1)A significant correlation between the ratio of VC, blood insufficiency of replanted digit and smoking index(SI, the number of cigarette in a day multiplies the years of smoking) was found. 2)The rate of VC, wound infection and unhealing in short term and the feeling of pain, numbness and cool in the long term in patients smoking after operation (92.6%,55.6%,48.1% and 71.6%) was obviously more than that in non smoking patients(17.8%,9.3%,2.0% and 3.0%,P

Objective To investigate the gene expression of GDNF mRNA on both ends of the severed sections of sciatic nerve in rats. Methods The specimen of sciatic nerve proximal and distal to the cut off site was taken respectively before and after sciatic nerve severance. The level of GDNF mRNA on both cutting sections was observed and compared by using of semi quantitative RT-PCR method with ? Actin as a inner consult before nad after sciatic nerve cut off. Results A minimum expression of GDNF mRNA was found on sciatic nerve before the operation, however, there was an increase of 20% at 24 hours in the distal section after sciatic nerve cut off, 60% at 7th day, 85% at 14th day and 90% at 28th day. While it decreased by 10%, 38%, 45% and 52% at 1st day, 7th day, 14th day and 28th day in the proximal section respectively. Conclusion The decreasing and increasing of GDNF mRNA level at the proximal and distal sciatic nerve section is the result of the disruption of “neuron axon target”axis after sciatic nerve cut off. This may provide a theory basis in treatment of SCI by use of the foreign GDNF.

Objectives:To compare the effect of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF) and methylprednisolone(MP) on intracellular free calcium(［Ca2+］i) and capacity of containing water(CCW) after spinal cord injury(SCI).　Methods:Forty-two SD rats were divided into four groups： control, GDNF,MP and GDNF+MP.GDNF and MP were supplied through subarachnoid cavity, tail vein and both of the above after T12 segments spinal cord injury by modified Allen crush method. Animals were executed and specimens were collected at 24 h, 72 h and 168 h after SCI.［Ca2+］i and CCW were measured using Fura-2 method.　Results:Both ［Ca2+］i and CCW of injured spinal cord in GDNF,MP, and GDNF+MP groups were lower than that of the control group at 24 h and 72 h after SCI(P<0.01).Levels of ［Ca2+］i and CCW in GDNF group was much higher than that of MP and MP+GDNF groups(P<0.01),but there was no difference between MP group and MP+GDNF group(P>0.05) 24 hours after SCI. Seventy-two hours after SCI,［Ca2+］i in GDNF group was higher than that in MP group, MP group was higher than MP+GDNF group(P<0.05).CCW of GDNF group exceeded that of MP and MP+GDNF group(P<0.01).［Ca2+］i in GDNF group was higher than that in MP group, and MP group was higher than MP+GDNF group(P<0.01) 7 days postoperatively, but for CCW, there were no differences among GDNF,MP and MP+GDNF groups(P>0.05).　Conclusions: Both GDNF,MP and GDNF + MP groups might reduce ［Ca2+］i and CCW of injured spinal cord. The curative effect of MP for SCI preponderate over that of GDNF, the effect of MP could be enhanced by adding GDNF.

The morbidity of inflammation-associated tumor is high .Prevention and treatment of inflammation play a positive role in delaying the occurrence and development of cancer .Antrodia camphorata, an endemic fungus in Tai-wan, possesses significant anti-inflammatory effect.So far, 35 anti-inflammatory active components from Antrodia camphorata have been identified , among which triterpenoids account for the most .Studies have revealed that triterpenoids , including ergostanes and lanostanes , have significant anti-inflammatory activities .Because of their structures , especially those of the ergostanes , are similar to the structures of cholesterol and steroid hormones , their anti-inflammatory mechanism may be related to mimic the steroid hormones or interfere with the effect of cholesterol .
