Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and kyphoplasty (PKP) are perf or med by image-guided spinal procedures and consists in percutaneously transpedic ular injection of the polymer polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) into a fractured ver tebral body to relieve the pain and to strengthen the bone. Advantages of the te chnology include its relative simplicity, fewer complications and minimally inva sive surgery. PKP can also restore vertebral height. This paper is to sum up the results of biomechanical comparison of different cements, different volumes and different distribution in the vertebras. This article also indicates the disadv antages of PVP and PKP at present. To achieve the goal in the future, the operat ions and ideal biomaterials should be improved and developed.

BACKGROUND:Now the filling material which is used for the treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures is mainly polymethacrylic acid (PMMA),but the PMMA as a permanent foreign body cannot promote bone regeneration,and has a downward extension of the possibility of mechanical properties with time prolonging,so a new type of filling material used to substitute PMMA is looking.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and image characteristics of different filling materials on percutaneous vertebroplasty performing on a goat model of osteoporotic compression fracture.METHODS:Three vertebral fracture models were established on osteoporosis goats by using an appropriate mechanical stress.Under the G-arm X-ray machine,the fractured vertebrae was performed with percutaneous vertebroplasty and then filled with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA),self-setting calcium phosphate cement (CPC) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2(rhBMP-2)/self-calcium phosphate cement.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:① A total of 36 vertebral bodies of 12 goats were successfully performed with percutaneous vertebroplasty,and there was no significant difference in filling quantity among three materials (3.5±1.8) mL (P>0.05).Bolus resistance of PMMA was strong,but operative time was short,and the image was great;the bolus resistance of self-CPC and rhBMP-2/self-CPC was weak,operative time was long,but there was no leakage placeholde.②CT scanning results on the 2~(nd) day after surgery demonstrated that the three materials were disorderly distributed in the vertebral body,showing high-density patching shaping.Six out of 36 vertebral bodies were leakage,which was induced by PMMA (n=4),self-CPC (n=1),and rhBMP-2/self-CPC (n=1).③ Scanning electron microscope indicated that all materials in the PMMA group were not able to closely bind with host bone,but self-CPC and rhBMP-2/self-CPC were able to closely bind with host bone.The results suggested that rhBMP-2/self-CPC is characterized by long-term operation,short time of bone substitute,and stabilization of reconstructed spine.

Objective To comparatively analyze the cognition and feelings of professional self-con-cept of nurse (PSCN) between nursing students and nursing staff and and to propose recommendations for the education of nursing students. Methods Professional self-concept of nurses instrument (PSCNI) scale was used to investigate the self evaluation of nursing students and nursing staff in the aspects of nursing skills, leadership, flexibility,satisfaction degree and communication skills. SPSS 19.0 was used to analyze the total scores and scores of each aspects; F test and t test were used to analyze the difference between two groups. Results Total score for nursing students and nursing staff were (81.27±7.40) points (67.7%) and (85.00±7.96) points (70.0%), with significant differences between the two groups (P=0.003). Scores in as-pects of nurturing skills, communication, flexibility were higher in nursing staff than in nursing students, with significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The cognition and feeling of nursing staff is better than nursing students in aspects of nurturing skills, communication, flexibility. Nursing teaching can correspondingly improved based on the differences between the two groups.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of 90Sr-90Y applicator combined with topical timolol maleate for infantile superficial hemangiomas.Methods A total of 59 infants with hemangiomas were randomly divided into a study group (n=33; ≤3 months,15 cases;＞3 months,18 cases) and a control group (n=26; ≤3 months,10 cases; ＞3 months,16 cases).The study group was treated with 90Sr-90Y applicator combined with timolol maleate solution (0.5％) and the control group was treated with the same dose of 90Sr-90Y applicator combined with saline.Treatment effectiveness was compared between the two groups,and x2 test was used for statistical analysis.Adverse reaction was observed and recorded.Results The effective rate was 18/18,and the cure rates were 14/15 (≤ 3 months) and 16/18 (＞3 months) in the study group.The effective rates were 8/10 (≤3 months) and 11/16 (＞3 months),and the cure rates were 6/10 (≤3 months) and 9/16 (＞3 months) in the control group.Both the effective rate and cure rate of the study group were significantly higher than those of control group (x2 =22.22 and 30.29,≤3 months; x2 =36.69 and 27.31,＞3 months; all P＜0.01).Significant adverse reaction was not found in both groups.Conclusion 90Sr-90Y applicator combined with 0.5％ solution of topical timolol maleate has a very high effective and cure rate for infantile superficial hemangiomas,without significant adverse reaction observed.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo analyze the risk factors and clinical curative effect of revision endoscopic sinus surgery.METHODSThe clinical data of the 80 patients underwent revision endoscopic sinus surgery were analyzed and the efficacy of the surgery was evaluated by the scores of the endoscopic examination, Lund-Mackay and VAS scoring system. Recovery rate and risk factors were observed and assessed. RESULTSIn 80 patients, 62 cases recovered, 11 cases improved, 7 cases were ineffective,and the total effective rate was 91.25%. Single factor analysis showed that operation frequency, follow-up compliance, history of allergic rhinitis and polyps effect on the clinical curative effect significantly (P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that main risk factors affecting the curative effect were operation frequency, history of allergic rhinitis and polyps, follow-up compliance, VAS score, endoscopic examination scores, CT examination score, and nasal cavity adhesion (relative risk was between 1.4-2.8).CONCLUSIONOperation frequency, follow-up compliance, history of allergic rhinitis and polyps are important factors on curative effect of revision surgery.

30 kg/m2 served as obesity group.Using Gross formula,the true total blood loss was calculated depending on the height,body mass and pre-and post-operative Hct,and hidden blood loss was gotten by subtracting the visible blood loss from total loss.③The correlation between visible and hidden blood loss was observed.RESULTS:All 41 patients undergoing THA and 37 TKA were involved in the result analysis.①Following THA,the mean total loss was 1 520 mL and the hidden blood loss 482 mL(32%).Following TKA,the mean total loss was 1 508 mL and the hidden blood loss was 776 mL(52%).The hidden blood loss between THA and TKA was significantly different(P 0.05).CONCLUSION:①The hidden blood loss in TKA is far higher than THA.It is very important to supplement the blood volume during TKA for the insufficiency to regain general circulation although using blood re-infusion.②It may improve clinical evaluation capabilities to estimate hidden blood loss and thus result in better patient care after joint arthroplasty.

Objective To analyze the distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogens isolated from sputum in early postoperative patients after esophageal surgery, and investigate the risk factors of pulmonary infections after esophageal carcinoma and reasonable application of antibiotics during perioperative period.Methods The clinical data of 414 patients with esophageal carcinoma who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University from January 2012 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The second generation cephalosporins were used as preventive antibiotics for the 181 patients between January and December 2012 and the third generation cephalosporins were used for the 233 patients between January 2013 and June 2014.Sputum samples were collected and inspected before operation and in the first three days after operation for observing distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogens.The incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection was observed in the two kinds of patients.The risk factors closely related to the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary infections were analyzed.Comparison of rate and univariate analysis were done by chi-square test.Multivariate analysis was done with logistic regression.Results The positive rate of early post-operative sputum culture was 24.64％ (102/414), 32.04％ (58/181) in patients receiving the second generation cephalosporins and 18.88％ (44/233) in patients receiving the third generation cephalosporins, respectively, with a significant difference between the two generations of cephalosporins (x2 =9.502, P ＜ 0.05).A total of 131 strains of pathogens were isolated from early postoperative sputum samples including 12 strains of gram-positive bacteria and 119 strains of gram-negative bacteria.The top three bacteria were Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp pneumoniae (33 trains), Acinetobacter baumannii (20 strains) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19 strains).The resistance rate of gram-negative bacteria in early postoperative sputum samples to meropenem, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin were 5.0％-25.0％, 2.6％-15.2％, 2.6％-20.0％, respectively.Among cephalosporins, the resistance rate to ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, cefepime, ceftazidime, cefuroxime and cefazolin were 10.3％-20.0％ , 5.3％-30.0％ , 12.8％-31.6％, 15.4％-42.1％ , 21.2％-55.0％ and 15.2％-60.0％, respectively.The overall postoperative pulmonary infection rate was 18.60％ (77/414).The pulmonary infection rate of patients receiving the second generation cephalosporins was 26.52％ (48/181), which was higher than 12.45％ (29/233) of patients receiving the third generation cephalosporins (x2=13.326, P ＜ 0.05).The results of univariate analysis showed that smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, application of the second generation cephalosporins during the perioperative period and early postoperative sputum culture positive were correlated with the postoperative pulmonary infection after esophageal carcinoma surgery (x2 =5.149, 22.765, 13.326, 159.092, P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate statistical analysis with logistic regression demonstrated that application of the third generation cephalosporins during the perioperative period was independent protective factor of postoperative pulmonary infection (OR =2.582, 95％ confidence interval: 1.331-5.009, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The pathogens from sputum in early postoperative period after esophageal surgery are complicated with gram-negative bacteria as the main pathogens especially Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp, pneumoniae, and different levels of antibiotic resistance are ubiquitous.The third generation cephalosporins can effectively prevent the postoperative pulmonary infection after esophageal carcinoma surgery.
