[Objective]To evaluate the factors causing loosening of instrumentation and the progressive deformities after treating thoracolumbar bemivertebra with segmental instrumentation,and analyze the outcomes and strategies of reversion.[Method]A retrospective study was made in 7 cases with loosening of instrumentation and the progressive deformities secondary to operation on thoracolumbar hemivertebra in our hospital.There were 3 males and 4 females,with age range of 1.8~13 years.Preoperative mean Cobb's angles of scoliosis was 34.1?,and kyphosis was 40.2?.All cases were treated with posterior reversion.[Result]The failure factors of primary surgery were resulted from:failure of single hemivertebra resection(4 cases),shortage of segments fixation and bone graft(5 cases),unsatisfactory selection of instrumentation(2 cases),failure of manipulation in young children(2 cases),segment fixation without fusion(1 case).Postoperative mean Cobb's angle of scoliosis was 12.6?,with correction rate of 63.0%,and kyphosis was 17.3?,with correction rate of 56.9%.The revision cases were followed up for 18 to 28 months and showed that all patients got satisfactory cosmetic correction and fine fusion.No neurological complication or infection occurred,no implant failure were verified at the final radiographic evaluation.[Conclusion]The reasons for postoperative loosening of instrumentation and the progressive deformities includs:free from hemivertebrectomy,inappropriate segments fixation and bone graft,unsatisfactory selection of instrumentation,impropermanipulation in young children,fixation without fusion.If the above-mentioned five reasons of reversion strategies have been considered and avoided,the clinical results will be satisfactory.

Objective To construct an oral recombinant DNA vaccine of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) neutrophil activating protein (Hp-NAP), and to evaluate its immunotherapeutic effects. Methods The napA gene (encoding Hp-NAP) was amplified by poly mera se chain reaction(PCR) and cloned into TA cloning vector pBT. After nucleotide s equencing and sequence analysis, the target sequence was subcloned into an eukar yot ic expression vector pIRES. Then the identified recombinant plasmid, pIRES-napA , was transformed into a live attenuated Salmonella typhimurium(S. typhimurium ) strain SL7207, and lavaged into a long-term(30 weeks) model of BALB/c mice infected by Sydney strain(SS1) of H. pylori. Results A 435 bp target gene of napA was amplified by PCR. Seq uenci ng and BLAST analysis showed that most of the cloned napA sequence was homologou s with that of SS1 strain of H. pylori. provided by GenBank, and the homolog y of neucleotide and protein was over 98%, respectively. PCR and restriction enzyme digestion id entification indicated that a recombinant live attenuated S. typhimurium DNA vaccine strain carrying Hp-napA gene was successfully constructed. After 4 wee ks of oral immunization, 75% of mice treated with DNA vaccine were rapid urease test negative, while those with vacant plasmid or normal saline alone were all p ositive (P= 0.0476). The titer of serum Hp-NAP antibody was signific antly elevated in treatment group. Conclusions The successful construction of an effective oral recom binant DNA vaccine of Hp-NAP may be helpful for the further development of polyvalent DNA vaccine against H. pylori infection.
