Objective To investigate the effect of corpectomy decompression by subtotal vertebrectomy and fusion of adjacent segmental artificial disc replacement through anterior intervertenral spance (Hybrid Surgery) in the anteriorcervical spondylotic myelopathy treatment . Methods Hybrid Surgery were operated on 18 patients who suffered from anterior cervi?cal spondylotic myelopathy . Follow up of 1-50 months. Patient’s conditions were assessed according to the Japanese Associ?ation for Department of orthopedics assessment score (JOA score) before and after operation. Effects of Hybrid operation were assessed by the improvement of JOA score, Odom’s follow-up grade and cervical mobility . Results The JOA scores of all 18 operated patients were improved from 10.6 ± 1.7 before operation to 13.5 ± 2.4 after operation. And the difference is statistically significant (t=1.314, P < 0.05). Among all the operated patients, 16 were cured and 2 were effective. As to Odom’s follow up grades, 6 cases were excellent, 11 cases were good and 1 case was acceptable. The postoperative move?ment range of cervical spine (40.1° ± 8.4°) show no statistically difference compared with that in preoperation (42.6° ± 11.9°) (t=0.68, P > 0.05). Conclusion Hybrid Surgery of anterior cervical decompression and fusion can both improve the nerve function and preserve cervical mobility.

Objective:To find small molecular leads for inhibition on early stage of HIV infection by identification and characterization of the HIV-1 gp41 C-helix mimotopes.Methods:For identification of the gp41 C-helix mimotopes,C7C phage display peptide library was biopanning by using a synthetic peptide N36 which was derived from the gp41 N-helix as target.After three rounds of screening,positive phage clones were identified by ELISA and sequenced.Results:16 of 26 phage clones were identified to bind with peptide N36,and 10 of them were sequenced.Every clone of ten clones contains at least two hydrophobic residues,which may dock into the hydrophobic pocket in the gp41 N-helix domain.9 of the 10 clones have a conservative sequence WW,which may mimic the W628 and W631 in C-helix to interact with the hydrophobic residues in the gp41 pocket.One clone expressing the conservative sequence named clone No.8(CYWWHRLHC) was selected for characterization.The binding between the clone No.8 and N36 was blocked by free peptide N36.And the binding between clone No.8 and peptide N36 was inhibited by peptide C34(IC 50=12.5 ?g/ml).Conclusion:The short circular peptides displayed on phages containing WW residues may mimic the conformational epitope of the HIV-1 gp41 C-helix to interact with the N-helix.This information may be useful for design of HIV-1 fusion inhibitors.
