Objective To investigate the curative effect of Quadrant channel transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(TLIF) in the treatment of recurrent lumbar disc herniation(RLDH).Methods Seventy-six cases patients with RLDH were divided into traditional TLIF group(36 cases) and Quadrant group(40 cases) by the different operation modes.The operation,VAS scores and ODI scores were compared between the two groups.Results Operation time((98.2±18.1) min vs.(118.5±27.2) min,t=3.79,P<0.05),incision length((2.7±0.6) cm vs.(5.5±1.0) cm,t=14.97,P<0.05),intraoperative blood loss((90.7±20.1) ml vs.(170.3±33.5) ml,t=12.71,P<0.05) and intraoperative drainage((43.8±12.4) ml vs.(117.1±28.9) ml,t=14.62,P<0.05) in Quadrant group were less than that in traditional TLIF group.The ambulation time((2.8±0.6) d vs.(6.8±1.1) d,t=19.95.P<0.05) and hospitalization time((7.1±2.0) d vs.(14.2±2.7) d,t=13.11,P<0.05) of Quadrant group were shorter than those of TLIF group.VAS scores in both groups were significantly decreased.VAS in Quadrant group was significantly lower than that in traditional TLIF group from 3 d to 6 months after operation((4.4±1.0,3.9±1.2,3.4±0.8,1.9±0.6,1.3±0.4) points vs.(5.0±1.4,4.5±1.1,4.1±0.9,3.6±0.7,2.5±0.6) points,P<0.05).ODI scores in both groups were significantly decreased.ODI in Quadrant group was significantly lower than that in traditional TLIF group from 1 d to 6 months after operation((36.7±7.1,33.4±6.2,30.7±4.1,27.8±5.3,24.5±5.4,18.4±4.7) points vs.(39.8±6.0,36.8±5.8,33.5±6.6,31.3±5.1,28.9±6.6,22.3±5.2) points,P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of RLDH by Quadrant channel TLIF has obvious curative effect,short operation time,less trauma,faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.

Objective To investigate whether ultrasound (US)-targeted microbubble (MB) destruction (UTMD) can influence the biofilm and bacteria in morphology.Methods Twenty-hour biofilms of Staphylococcus epidermidis RP62A were treated with US or UTMD.The acoustic intensity was 0.5-1.5W/cm2,the duty cycle was 50% and the duration was 10 minutes.After treatment,the absorbance values (A570) of biofilms stained with the crystal violet were measured to assess the biofilm density.The biofilms were observed with macroscopy and light microscopy.The biofilms were examined by confocal laserscanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Results A thick and compact biofilm was observed in the untreated control group,and there were no obvious micropores in biofilms under macrology and light micrology.Although there were no significant changes under macroscopy in both biofilms treated with US only and UTMD with 0.5 W/cm2 acoustic intensity,interestingly,many micropores could be found under microscopy.The diameters of micropores increased with increasing acoustic intensity,and the micropores in biofilms treated with UTMD were bigger than those treated with US-only in the same condition of acoustic intensity (P <0.05).The largest diameters of micropores were up to 1 mm in biofilms treated with UTMD using 1.5 W/cm2 (P <0.05).The biofilm density (A570 value) decreased with increasing of the acoustic intensity,and the values in UTMD group of 1.5 W/cm2 were the lowest (P < 0.05).Micropores also could be observed under CLSM.There were no obvious dead bacteria in biofilms treated with US and UTMD compared with untreated control group (P >0.05).Under SEM,the shape of bacteria in biofilms treated with US and UTMD became irregular,and many rounded projection could be observed in the surface of the bacteria treated with UTMD.Conclusions US and UTMD can produce micropores in biofilms,which might help to promote antibiotic activity against biofilms

In order to strengthen standardized residency training process management, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology combines informatization with teaching case library and establishes and improves the process of teaching case filling from the three aspects of the module for residency teaching case filling, the module for instructor feedback, and the module for functional department management, thereby establishing a teaching case system centered on residents and based on the standardized residency training process management and supporting the innovation of standardized residency training pattern with an integrated teaching platform, which provides new methods for the connotation construction of standardized residency training.
