BACKGROUND: Studies showed that both anterior cervical disc replacement and anterior cervical decompression and fusion can achieve good clinical result in cervical spondylosis. However, it is not conclusive about which kind of surgical method has an advantage in avoiding the adjacent segment degeneration. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect on adjacent segment degeneration of single segment cervical disc herniation treated with anterior cervical decompression and fusion and anterior cervical disc replacement. METHODS: We col ected clinical data of 178 patients with cervical disc herniation and receiving anterior cervical disc replacement or anterior cervical decompression and fusion from January 2009 to December 2012. A retrospective analysis was performed. There were 116 cases in the anterior cervical decompression and fusion group and 62 cases in the anterior cervical disc replacement group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Evaluation: visual analogue scale score, Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores and neck disability index were improved significantly in both groups during final fol ow-up compared with that pre-treatment (P < 0.05). (2) No significant difference in range of motion of operation segment, adjacent upper segment and adjacent lower segment was detected between final fol ow-up and pre-operation in the anterior cervical disc replacement group (P > 0.05). At 3 months after surgery, in the anterior cervical decompression and fusion group, surgical segment was confluent, and range of motion lost. During final fol ow-up, range of motion of adjacent upper segment and adjacent lower segment was significantly increased, and the increased range of motion in the upper segment was bigger than that of the lower segment (P < 0.05). (3) During final fol ow-up, X-ray films and MRI images revealed the number of degenerated adjacent segment was more in the anterior cervical decompression and fusion group than in the anterior cervical disc replacement group (P <0.05). The number of degenerated middle and upper segments was more than that of the lower segment in both groups (P < 0.05). (4) The findings confirmed that anterior cervical disc replacement or anterior cervical decompression and fusion for treating cervical disc herniation could effectively relieve nerve symptoms of patients. However, compared with the anterior cervical disc replacement, adjacent segment degeneration occurs more commonly after anterior cervical decompression and fusion.

Objective To evaluate the effect of treatment of the intervertebral infection via single?stage posterior midline incision and bilateral muscle gap approach. Methods A retrospective of 39 cases (male 25 cases, female 14 cases) of lumbar in?tervertebral infected patients from October 2012 to December 2014 who were treated by posterior debridement, interbody fusion using allograft and posterior instrumentation through paraspinal muscle gap approach were analyzed, whose mean age was 48 years (range 11-70 years). According to the confirming diagnosis, patients underwent postoperatively anti?inflammatory or chemotherapy treatment. The disease controlling statues were evaluated based on laboratory results of ESR, CRP;Imaging examinations were tak?en to evaluate the fusion of vertebral body;Clinical effects were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the JOA score of lumbar function. Results In these 39 cases of intervertebral infection patients, 8 cases ware diagnosed as pyogenic infec?tious, 25 cases were diagnosed as tuberculosis infections, 2 cases were diagnosed as unknown infections, and brucellosis infec?tious was found in 4 cases. All patients' symptoms were significantly improved. The lower back VAS score: average 8.22±0.93 points before operation, average 2.21 ± 0.88 points one week after operation, and an average score of 0.80 ± 0.58 points by the last follow?up time. The lower extremity VAS score: average 2.32 ± 1.82 points before operation, average 1.89 ± 0.62 points one week after operation, and an average score of 0.61±0.47 points by the last follow?up time. All patients were followed up for 12-18 months (average 13 months), One patient with pyogenic infectious occurred wound infection 1 week postoperatively, and healed after a repeatedly surgery. No internal fixation loosening, fracture, or segmental collapse was observed ,and good fusion was present in all patients after 12 months. JOA lumbar function score: all patients were effective after operation, the improve?ment rate was excellent in 76.9%, good in 17.9%, and passable in 5.2%. Comparing with preoperation, the excellent and good rate was 94.8%. Conclusion The treatment of lumbar intervertebral infection via single?stage posterior midline incision and bi?lateral muscle gap approach was clinically effective, which can completely remove the lesion, and achieve rigid internal fixation.

Objective To investigate the fatigue status and its characteristics and influential factors of military pilots. Methods Questionnaire survey was conducted on 924 military pilots by using Fatigue Assessment Instrument (FAI) and Fatigue Scale (FS-14), χ2 test and Pearson correlation analysis were performed on the data results with SPSS 17.0 software. Results The findings of fatigue status indicated 343 subjects (37.1%) with positive fatigue symptoms and 581 subjects (62.9%) with negative fatigue symptoms. FAI factor 1 (severity of fatigue), factor 2 (mental fatigue factor), factor 3 (consequence of fatique) and the total score, FS-14 factor 1 (physical fatigue factor) and the total score in fatigue-positive group were all higher than those in fatiguenegative group, and the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.01). The possibilities of developing fatigue symptoms for the subjects with different ages and flight time were statistically different (P<0.01, P<0.05); however, there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) in the possibility of developing fatigue symptoms between subjects with different aircraft types. Age and flight time were positively correlated with factor 1 and total score in FAI and factor 1, factor 2 and total score in FS-14. However, the aircraft type was associated with neither the individual factors and total score in FAI nor the individual factors and total score in FS-14. Conclusion It is common for military pilots to develop fatigue symptoms, characterized by obvious manifestations of severity, environmental specificity, consequences of fatigue and physical fatigue, and the possibilities of developing fatigue symptoms for different ages and flight time were different.
