Objective To observe pain and ADL change in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture trea- ted by percutaneous kyphoplasty.Methods Percutaneous kyphoplasty were performed in 14 patients with thoracic and lumbar vertebral compression fracture resulted from osteoporosis.All patients were evaluated with regard to pain index and Barthel index before and after operation.Results All the patients'pain were significantly relieved,their score with Barthel index was markedly improved.Conclusion Percutaneous kyphoplasty is a kind of good tech- nique to treat patient with thoracic and lumbar compression fractures resulted from osteoporosis.

Hepatic tumor-specific magnetic resonance (MR) enhancement with Gd-EOB-DTPA can detect and distinguish small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with greater sensitivity than conventional magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography.Hepatic tumor-specific MR enhancement with Gd-EOB-DTPA is more sensitive in detecting focal HCC,and more reliable in detecting lesions with a diameter smaller than 2cm.Gd-EOB-DTPA is excreted through the kidneys and biliary tract,and thus may provide more information about anatomic structures,demonstrate non-obstruction of the intra- and extrahepatic bile duct system,and provide information about hepatic function.

Objective To explore quality of life (QOL) of spouses of spinal cord injury patients,as well as its influencing factors.Methods Sixty-eight spouses of spinal cord injury patients were recruited as an observation group.At the same time,another 70 healthy married people who had no serious chronic diseases in the family but were matched in gender,age,occupation and education were chosen as a control group.The QOL of all the subjects in both groups was investigated by way of a questionnaire survey.The results of both groups were compared and factors that influenced their QOL were explored.Results The QOL of spouses of spinal cord injury patients,including total QOL ( 3.22 ± 0.37 ),physiological function ( 60.57 ± 14.22 ),psychological state ( 60.09 ± 8.06 ),social relations (63.37 ± 8.10 ) and the living environment (66.86 ± 11.26 ) were significantly lower than in the control group (4.62 ± 0.75 ; 82.48 ± 10.92 ; 86.02 ± 8.75 ; 85.94 ± 10.13 and 83.23 ± 9.54,respectively).The QOL of spouses of spinal cord injury patients was closely related to the patient's injury type,injury position,the treatment protocol,as well as their own gender,vocation and education.Conclusion The QOL of spouses of spinal cord injury patients is significantly lower than that of normal people,and closely related with the patients' injury type,injury position and treatment,as well as their own gender,vocation and education.

Protein-protein binding is the basis of virus and host cell interactions. With the application of technology of studying protein interactions, more knowledge of replication and pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) was acquired. Non-structure protein 5B(NS5B) of HCV is a kind of viral protein, which plays an important role in replication of HCV. However, the effect of NS5B is not clear. To investigate the biological function of NS5B, we performed yeast two hybrid to look for proteins in hepatocytes interacting with NS5B. We constructed NS5B bait plasmid by cloning the gene of NS5B into pGBKT7, then transformed it into yeast AH109(a type). The transformed yeast was mated with yeast Y187(? type)containing liver cDNA library plasmid in 2?YPDA medium. Diploid yeast was plated on synthetic dropout nutrient medium (SD/-Trp-Leu-His-Ade) containing x-?-gal for screening. Thirty-three colonies were selected and sequenced. Among them, two colonies were new genes with unknown function. The preliminary successful cloning of gene of protein interacting with NS5B paved the way for the study of the physiological function of NS5B and its associated protein.

s Objective To study the effect of HBV DNA of pregnant mothers on HBV intrauterine transmission. Methods Thirty one pairs of mothers and their newborn babies were detected for HBV by the HBV DNA qualitative PCR and HBV serology, as well as the concentration of HBV DNA in the blood by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results There was a positive linear regression( r=0.5401, P=0.0017 ) between the concentration of HBV DNA in the infant and that in the mothers. Among the 31 infants, 19 showed abnormal by HBV DNA qualitative PCR and(or) HBV serology. It indicated that there was vertical transmission from the mothers to their infants. The transmission rate is 61%. The concentration of HBV DNA copies/ml(7.2?3.1) in mothers whose infants were abnormal was significantly higher than the others(5.8?1.3). Among the 31 mothers, 6 cases showed anti-HB positive and their babies were of much lower concentration of HBV DNA(4.2?1.8) than others(6.1?1.8). Conclusion The quantity of HBV in mothers reflected the strength of HBV vertical transmission and the chance of HBV transmission from mothers to infants have been decreased after mothers have obtained HbsAb.
