BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that percutaneous vertebroplasty is a better method to repair osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, but there are stil less specific schemes of transpedicular approach. Whether unipedicular or bipedicular approach is preferred is stil controversial. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous verterbroplastyviaunipedicular and bipedicular approach on osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:Totaly 118 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures who had been admitted at the Department of Orthopedics, the First People's Hospital of Kashi from June 2010 to June 2013 and folowed up over 1 year were enroled and randomly divided into unipedicular and bipedicular groups, with 59 in each group. These two groups were compared in terms of bone cement volume, bone cement leakage, kyphosis correction, vertebral height restoration, visual analog scale score, Oswestry disability index, activity of daily living scale score, SF-36 score, and postoperative complications. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The cement leakage rate was lower in the unipedicular group (34%) than the bipedicular group (37.3%), but there was no significant difference (P=0.701 > 0.05). The kyphosis correction and scoliosis correction had no statistical significance between the two groups (P > 0.05). The mean vertebral height was improved significantly in both two groups at 1 year after operation (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the two groups before and after operation (P > 0.05). There were also no significant differences between the two groups in terms of visual analog scale score, Oswestry disability index, activity of daily living scale score, SF-36 score before and after operation, but these indexes were al improved significantly in each group at 1 year after operation than before operation (P < 0.05). The bone cement amount of the unipedicular group was lower than that of the bipedicular group (P=0.001 < 0.05), and the operation time was also shorter in the unipedicular group than the bipedicular group (P=0.000 < 0.05). No serious complications occurred in the two groups. These findings indicate that percutaneous verterbroplasty via unipedicular and bipedicular approach has good analgesic and repair outcomes in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, and the unipedicular approach is better than the bipedicular approach in the folowing aspects: less bone cement volume, lower cement leakage and shorter operation time.

BACKGROUND:Hydrothermal condition of oral environment has an effect on the mechanical properties of dental core materials.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate effect of water storage on the weight change rates and flexural properties of three dual-cure core buildup composite resins.
METHODS: Rectangular specimens (25 mm×2 mm×2 mm) were prepared from three dual-cure core buildup composite resins (LuxaCore Smartmix Dual, Para core and Clearfil DC Core). Specimens were stored in distiled water at 37℃ for 0, 1 day, 1, 2, 3 weeks and 1 month, respectively, weighted and then subjected to three-point bending test in a universal testing machine.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Weight change rates of the three composite resins increased with immersion time; at the same immersion time, weight change rates of three composite resins ranked as the folowing order: LuxaCore Smartmix Dual > ParaCore > Clearfil DC Core. The flexural strength of LuxaCore Smartmix Dual decreased with immersion time. The flexural strength of ParaCore showed no significant change during 3 weeks immersion (P > 0.05), while it showed a significant decreasing after 1 month immersion (P < 0.05). There was no significant change on the flexural strength of Clearfil DC Core in the whole immersion process(P > 0.05). The flexural modulus of LuxaCore Smartmix Dual showed a decreased trend in the whole immersion process, but it showed that there was no significant change during the first 2 weeks(P > 0.05), while a significant decrease occurred after 3 weeks and 1 month (P < 0.05). Compared with original specimens, the flexural modulus of ParaCore and Clearfil DC Core showed a decreased trend, but this change was not significant (P > 0.05); the flexural properties of three composite resins showed a fluctuant decreased trend along with weight changes increased. To sum up, Clearfil DC Core showed the best water resistance among three composite resins.

Arginine Deiminase(ADI) was purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulfate precipitation,Q-Sepharose Fast Flow anion exchange chromatography and SephadexG-75 gel filtration chromatography. This purification protocol resulted in a 34.5-fold purification of ADI with 31.4% final yield. A molecular weight of about 190 kD determined by native gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme has only one kind of 46 kD subunit determined by SDS-PAGE. Combining the results from the two kinds of electrophoresis,the authors deduce that the enzyme may be a tetramer. The optimum pH and temperature for lipolytic activity of ADI was pH 6.5 and 50℃,respectively. It was extremely stable at 45℃ and retained 97.9% of its original activity for 30 min. The stability declined rapidly as soon as the temperature rose over 50℃. ADI was highly stable in the pH range from pH 5-8. ADI acted on L-arginine but not on D-arginine. ADI catabolism was dependent on metal ions. At their adequate concentration,Mn2+,Mg2+ and Co2+ were the effective promoter,while superfluous Zn2+and Co2+ inhibited ADI activity. L-citrulline did not act on ADI,but L-ornithine inhibited ADI activity. The degradation of L-arginine with ADI catalysis was according to simple Michaelis-Menten equation. The Michaelis constant was 3.2686 mmol/L and the maxi-mum velocity was 2.44 ?mol/min.
