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.

To try to find out the possible use of histochemistry in the prenatal diagnosis in first trimester of pregnancy, 20 kinds of enzymes in chorionic villi from 6th to 9th week of gestation which are related to inborn errors of metabolism were investigated and graded according to their histochemical reactive intensity; the enzymes listed below: (1). ?-glucuronidase, (2). ?-galactosidase, (3). arylsulfatase, (4). ?-N-acetylglucosaminidase, (5). 3?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, (6). NADH dehydrogenase, (7). adenosine triphosphatase, (8). alkaline phosphatase,(9). acid phosphatase, (10). creatine phosphokinase, (11). glutamic dehydrogenase, (12). aldolase, (13). xylitol dehydrogenase, (14). alcohol dehydrogenase, (15). xanthine oxidase, (16). catalase, (17). ornithine carbamoyl transferase, (18). lipase, (19). cholinesterase, (20). ?-glutamyl transpeptidase. The experimental results show that the last 6 kinds of enzymes present negative reactions. Since the his- tochemical reactions of the first 14 kinds of enzymes are positive, it is possible that they can be used for the prenatal diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism caused by dificiency of corresponding enzymes. The results also show that compared with biochemical method, histochemical method has the advantages of requiring smaller amount of chorionic villi, being without contamination by maternal cells, simplicity and rapidity.

Objective:To establish the quality standard for Kangniling Capsules. Methods: Cordyceps, Radix Notoginseng and Radix Sophorae Flavescentis in this prescription were identified by TLC. Ginsenoside Rg1 was determined by HPLC. Results: Cordyceps, Radix Notoginseng and Radix Sophorae Flavescentis could be detected by TLC. The content limit of ginsenoside Rg1 shouldn't be lower than 0.20mg per capsule. Conclusions: The established method is simple, feasible and reproducible. The quality of Kangniling Capsule can be controlled by the method.

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.
