The aim of the study was to establish the clinical method for the detection of the human serum antibodies reacting to the membranous labyrinth protein using the Western immunoblotting labeled with boition streptavidin. Different control experiments were conducted, which included the human serum empty control, the biotin labeled antibody empty control, the avidin blocking control, the serum control of patient with autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss and that of patient with autoimmune disease. By comparing the different expressions in these experiments, it was suggested that the reacting band at 65kD, and the dark reacting bands at 82kD or within 56~48kD or 33~30kD should be identified as positive reaction of the human serum antibodies to the membranous labyrinth protein. The positive rates of 65kD were 30.4%~82.6% with the confidence intervals of 95%, and 23.8%~87.0% with the confidence intervals of 99%. The confidence intervals were 18%~72% and 13.4%~77.6% respectively, for 95% and 99% positive rates of the latter 3 bands combined. The reacting bands at 134kD and 70kD indicated affinity to avidin and streptavidin, which did not relate to positive reaction.

Objective To investigate the effect of dietary fiber on carbohydrate metabolism of healthy volunteers after the intake of corn starch meal. Methods Totally 12 healthy volunteers aged (25. 8 ± 5. 3) years were enrolled in this study, and they were equally randomly divided into two groups (group A and group B). This was an open, randomized, cross-over, and two-period study, and each period lasted for one day. In period 1, the subjects in group A received fiber-free corn starch and group B received high-fiber corn starch (containing 16 g dietary fiber). In period 2, the two groups are crossed. There was a one-week wash-out time between the two study days. On the study day, breath samples of fasting and 0. 5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0,7. 0, 8. 0 hours post meal were collected to measure13 CO2. Results The delta over baseline at 0. 5, 1.5, 2. 0,2. 5, 3. 0, 4. 0 hour after test meal in fiber free group and in high fiber group were 0. 79, 2. 03, 2. 57, 2. 86,3. 02, 3. 18 and 0. 16, 1. 33, 1.77, 2. 10, 2. 34, 2.42, respectively (the P value was 0. 014, 0. 014, 0. 011,0.018, 0. 036, and 0.020, respectively). Peak concentration of delta over baseline of fiber free group and high fiber group was 3.18 and 2. 56 respectively, there was no significant difference between two groups (P > 0. 05) ,peak time of the group at 4. 0 hour and 3. 5 hour respectively, showed significant difference (P = 0. 032). The cumulative percentage dose recovered 0. 5-6. 0 hours after test meal in fiber-free group and in high-fiber group were 0.41, 1.46, 3.15, 5.50, 8.28, 11.30, 14.42, 17. 62, 23. 65, 28. 78 and 0. 09, 0. 55, 1.61, 3.22,5.23,7.53, 10.09, 12.68, 17.60, 22.27 respectively (the P value was 0.014, 0.018, 0.018, 0.014, 0.013,0.014, 0.018, 0.020, 0.025, and 0.044, respectively). However, there was no significant difference 6.0 hours after meal (P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion The dietary fiber used in this study can delay the absorption of carbohydrate 6. 0 hours within intake without influencing its total absorption amount.

Objective To explore the effect of double silicone balloon catheter used as nasal packing materials after functional endoscopic sinus sur?gery(FESS). Methods Totally 80 patients(47 males and 33 females,median age of 43 years)with bilateral chronic sinusitis who underwent en?doscopic surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups,each group with 40 patients. The hemostatic sponge group used he?mostatic sponge for postoperative nasal packing and the hemostatic catheter group used double silicone balloon catheter plus medical sponge. Patients were observed for postoperative pain,ventilation and bleeding after packing removal to evaluate efficacy. Results Double silicone balloon catheter was superior to hemostatic sponge in ventilation maintenance(mean scores:78.8 vs 2.32)and pain relief(mean scores:0 vs 5.26),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Moreover,double silicone balloon catheter was also superior to hemostatic sponge regarding to nasal bleeding after packing removal. Conclusion Double silicone balloon catheter is a preferable material for nasal packing after endoscopic surgery,which has reliable hemostatic effect and can better maintain the nasal ventilation,reduce pain in patients,and improve the patient's quality of life during treat?ment.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and effects of endoscopic surgical treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation associated with veitebral osteochondrosis.Methods From June 2008 to December 2015,276 cases of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation associated with vertebral osteochondrosis were treated with endoscopic surgery,including 185 men and 91 women,with an average 39.2 years old (range,16-65 years old).The involved level included L2.3 in 2 cases,L3.4 in 9 cases,L4,5 in 126 cases and L5S1 in 139 cases.On preoperative axial CT,the diameter of ossification was more than half of the transverse or sagittal diameter of the spinal canal in 89 cases,and no more than half of the transverse and sagittal diameter of the spinal canal in 187 cases.All patients were operated on the side with serious symptom,181 cases were operated with mobile microendoscopic discectomy (MMED),and 95 cases were operated with percutaneous endoscopic surgery,including percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) in 61 cases and the percutaneous interlaminar endoscopic discectomy (PIED) in 34 cases.The operation and complications were analyzed.Results The soft herniation,broken disc material and the periphery of compressing ossification were removed under the endoscope in all cases,until the nerve was well decompressed.However,the ossification was not complete resected.Dural sac tear occurred in 3 cases of MMED.In the early stage of PTED,2 cases converted to MMED because of intraoperative pain and difficulty,and one case had exiting nerve root injury.At the final follow-up of 12-60 months (average,20.6 months),visual analogue scale decreased from preoperative 8.5±1.2 to 1.0±0.9,Oswestry disability index decreased from preoperative 40.2±8.6 to 3.1±3.0.According to Macnab scale,the results were excellent in 89,good in 154 cases,moderate in 33 cases.Conclusion For most lumbar intervertebral disc herniation associated with vertebral osteochondrosis,good results can be achieve by removal of herniated and broken intervertebral disc and decompression of nerve with endoscope.Therefore,we speculate that the soft disc herniation and spinal stenosis are main pathogenic factors,and that the complete resection of ossification is not needed.

Objective To compare the effect of continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) with patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) on pain relief,rehabilitation efficacy,satisfaction degree following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in an attempt to find a safe and effective analgesia at the stage of rehabilitation.Methods The records of 116 patients undergone unilateral TKA for osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis of the knee were evaluated.The patients with preoperative American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score of 1 to 3 were randomized into CFNB group (58 cases) and PCIA group (58 cases) according to the random number table.Both operations were performed under ultrasound guidance.Postoperative visual analogue score (VAS),knee function,incidence of adverse reaction,and satisfaction degree were compared between the two groups.Results Regardless of the score at postoperative 4 and 12 hours,VAS between CFNB and PCIA groups revealed significant differences at postoperative 24 [(3.2±1.1)pointsvs (4.1 ±1.5)points],48 [(3.4±1.2)pointsvs (4.1 ±1.0) points] and 72 hours [(3.3 ± 1.2) points vs (4.0 ± 1.1) points] (all P ＜ 0.05).Time to achieve knee rehabilitation training objectives like straight leg raise,walking with crutches,and passive bending to 90° were similar between the two groups.Both groups achieved comparable knee function status with respect to Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score,Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score,and maximal knee flexion angle at postoperative 3 months.Postoperative nausea and vomit were significantly more frequent in PCIA group (24％) than in CFNB group (14％) (all P ＜O.05),but patients in both groups were satisfactory.Conclusion Ultrasound guided CFNB is an effective analgesic method during the early stage of TKA,for it can control pain,accelerate rehabilitation training and function recovery,reduce adverse reaction as well as improve patients' satisfaction.

Objective To evaluate the expression of CD47 and calreticulin and their relationships with clini-copathologic features,prognosis in infiltrating ductal breast carcinomas.Methods The expression of CD47 and calret-iculin was evaluated in 128 cases with infiltrating ductal breast carcinomas by means of immunohistochemistry,and the relationship between CD47 and other clinicopathologic factors as well as prognosis were analyzed.Results The expression level of CD47 in cancer nest was 81/128,which was lower than 106/128 in its adjacent normal epithelium (χ2 =12.400,P<0.05),but calreticulin expression was 50/128 and was higher in cancer nest(χ2 =21.510,P<0.05 ).In addition,the expression level of calreticulin had certain difference in different molecular subtype (χ2 =21.510,P<0.05),and an increased expression in Basal-like and Her-(2 +)/ER(-)subtypes.The expression level of CD47 was associated with tumor sizes,histological tumor grade and lymph node involvement(χ2 =11.400, 4.732,5.432,all P<0.05),and the expression level of calreticulin was associated with histological tumor grade and distant metastasis(χ2 =10.810,6.770,all P<0.05).The 5 -year survival rate of patients performed following-up was 68.37%.Univariate analysis indicated the survival rate in 5 years of high level CD47,calreticulin expression was higher than that of low level CD47,calreticulin expression(χ2 =5.231,13.069,all P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of CD47,calreticulin is associated with index of dysprognosis and survival rate in 5 years,so combined CD47 and calreticulin detect may be of prognostic value in patients with breast caner.

Objective To study the precision of computer-aided preoperative templating for total hip arthroplasty. Methods Thirty patients (11 males, 19 females; age ranged from 42 to 85 years, mean 56 years) received unilateral total hip arthroplasty from March 2008 to December 2008. Preoperative tem-plating was done with LINK -Preop-PlanTM to compare the size of the planned hip joint with the size of the prosthesis, as well as the discrepancy of the limbs before and after operation. Results The predicted sizes of the prosthesis corresponded well with the actual ones. The cup size of the prosthesis completely matched the actual ones in 19 patients (63%), and the variation was within 1 size in 8 patients (27%) and ≥2 sizes in 3 patients (10%). The stem size of the prosthesis completely matched the actual ones in 19 patients (63%), and the variation was within 1 size in 9 patients (30%) and ≥2 sizes in 2 patients (7%). The variation of the cemented and cementless stem size of the prosthesis was within 1 size in 16 patients (89%) and 12 patients (100%), respectively, with no statistical difference (P > 0.05). The discrepancy of limb length was (9.0±8.5) mm preoperatively and (1.1±2.4) mm postoperatively. Conclusions Preoperative planning is of paramount significance in total hip arthroplasty. Computer-ai-ded preoperative templating can accurately anticipate the type of the prosthesis, which is helpful in correc-ting the discrepancy in leg length.

Objective:To evaluate the value and efficacy of self-anchored anterior lumbar discectomy and fusion (SA-ALDF) for L 5 isthmic spondylolisthesis. Methods:From June 2018 to December 2019, a total of 11 cases of L 5 isthmic spondylolisthesis were treated with SA-ALDF, including 4 men and 7 women, aged 43.2±12.6 (range 29-63) years. All patients had intractable low back pain aggravating during standing activities and alleviating during rest, without lower extremity radicular symptoms. Imaging examination showed bilateral isthmus cleft of L 5 with spondylolisthesis of 1 degree in 10 cases and 2 degree in 1 case according to Meyerding grading system. Under general anesthesia and supine French position, transverse 6 cm incision was made. Then, the L 5S 1 intervertebral disc was exposed via extraperitoneal approach between the bifurcation of abdominal aorta and vena cava. The intervertebral disc was sufficiently removed. The intervertebral space was released and distracted followed by canal ventral decompression and sequential mold testing. Suitable self-anchoring cage filled with auto iliac cancellous bone was implanted to restore intervertebral height and lordosis as well as reduction of spondylolisthesis. Under fluoroscopic guidance, the distal anchoring plate was knocked into the sacrum followed by direct reduction and proximal anchoring plate locking in the L 5 vertebral body. The patients were followed up for 12.1±4.7 (range 6-18) months. The visual analogue score (VAS) and Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) were evaluated. The reduction and fusion were evaluated on the X-ray films. Furthermore, the rate of spondylolisthesis, the height and the lordosis of intervertebral space were measured. Results:The operation was performed successfully in all the patients with operation duration 90±18 (range 70-120) min, intraoperative blood loss 30±16 (range 10-60) ml. No severe complication such as nerve and blood vessel injury occurred. All patients experienced alleviation of symptom during follow-up. X-rays confirmed that the spondylolisthesis and alignment were recovered obviously without obvious cage displacement. However, the loss of reduction was 63.2% for the grade 2 spondylolisthesis. At the final follow-up, VAS decreased from 6.1±2.1 to 0.9±0.5, ODI decreased from 43.6%±14.2% to 6.0%±3.4%. The spondylolisthesis recovered from 17.7%±10.3% to 8.0%±7.2% with reduction rate of 54.8%±21.6%. The interverbral height recovered from 6.4±2.1 mm to 9.8±3.9 mm and intervertebral lordosis recovered from 4.8°±2.9° to 9.6°±4.7°.Conclusion:SA-ALDF can provide satisfactory outcomes for selected L 5 isthmic spondylolisthesis of degree 1 without neurological compromise. However, its mechanical stability may be insufficient for isthmic spondylolisthesis of degree 2.
