BACKGROUND:Lumbar disc herniation is a clinical syndrome of lumbar pain and radiated pain of the lower limb induced by biochemical changes after intervertebral disc degeneration. Transforaminal endoscopic spine system (TESSYS) and Yeung endoscopic spine system (YESS) are commonly used in the clinic, but their effects are different.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the curative effect of TESSYS and YESS in treatment of lumbar disc herniation. METHODS:Fol ow-up data of 134 cases of lumbar disc herniation were retrospectively analyzed. They were assigned to TESSYS group (n=76) and YESS group (n=58). Intraoperative condition, pain at various time points after repair, and lumbar function changes were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) No significant difference in Visual Analogue Scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores was detected between the two groups before repair (P>0.05). At 1, 3, and 6 months after repair and during final fol ow-up, above scores were significantly decreased in both groups (P<0.05). Above scores were significantly lower in the TESSYS group than in the YESS group at various time points after repair (P<0.05). (2) No significant difference in Japanese Orthopedic Association score was found between the two groups before repair (P>0.05). Japanese Orthopedic Association score was greater in the TESSYS group than in the YESS group at 1, 3 and 6 months fol owing repair and during final fol ow-up (P<0.05). (3) The excel ent and good rate was significantly greater in the TESSYS group than in the YESS group during final fol ow-up (P<0.05). (4) Operation time and incision length were significantly shorter in the TESSYS group than in the YESS group. No significant difference in the amount of bleeding was detectable between the two groups (P>0.05). Results suggest that TESSYS for lumbar disc herniation was characterized by smal trauma, mild pain and good recovery of function.

The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) increased rapidly in recent decades and become enormous challenges in China.Lack of effective early warning of molecular markers and dynamic monitoring technology in term of early diagnosis,treatment evaluation,dynamic recurrence and metastasis monitoring are the clinical diagnosis and treatment bottlenecks of CRC.Traditional diagnosis and treatment of CRC rely on a single level of patient information with low accuracy.Based on the system of biology medical model,to carry out a joint diagnostic model,will overcome the traditional problems through a number of multi-level information integration of the joint diagnosis model,will significantly improve the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis of CRC.The major challenge in patients with advanced and metastatic CRC is the instability of the tumor genome and the treatment-induced resistance during chemotherapy and targeted therapy.It is necessary to carry out continuous dynamic biopsy in order to accurately guide the development of treatment decisions.Compared with the pathological examination of traditional surgical specimen,liquid biopsy,such as circulating tumor cells,circulating tumor DNA detection technology,with noninvasive,real-time dynamic monitoring,could evaluate the efficacy of treatment,and guide the precise individual diagnosis and treatment.Today,the new strategy and new technology need to undergo clinical trials urgency,through technology optimization,reduction of costs and improvement of detection accuracy,would quickly extended to clinical applications in future.

Objective To investigate the functions of blood plasma homocysteine (Hcy) and high sensitivity C-response protein (hs-CRP) in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in pathogenesis plays,and observe whether there was associations with disease severity and the correlations.Methods Forty-one patients with COPD were collected from August 2010 to February 2011,and 35 healthy persons as control group.Blood plasma Hcy,hs-CRP,forced expiratory volume in one second account predicted (FEV1％ predicted),and arterial pressure of oxygen (PaO2,arterial blood gases analysis) were measured in COPD patients and controls.Results Plasma Hcy concentration was (22.07 ± 12.13) μmol/L in COPD patients,but (9.89 ±4.41) μmol/L in controls,there were significant differences between two subjects (t =1.674,P ＜0.01).COPD patients had a higher serum hs-CRP concentration (8.60±3.85) mg/L than control's (4.24 ±0.57) mg/L (t =1.682,P ＜ 0.01).Along the descent of FEV1％ predicted,plasma Hcy and hs-CRP were elevated gradually,both sides show a negative correlation (r =-0.45,-0.49,P ＜ 0.05).And plasma Hcy and hs-CRP present a positive correlation in COPD patients (r =0.68,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Plasma Hcy was significantly elevated in COPD patients,positive correlation related to COPD severity and positive correlation related to serum hs-CRP.

Objective To observe the vascular imaging the pathological changes in the patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant intraarterial chemotherapy. Methods Before intraarterial infusion, DSA were performed on 96 patients with breast cancer. Pathological changes were studied after operation. Results The blood supply of breast cancer mainly arises from the lateral thoracic and subscapular arteries. Abnormalities in the vascular architecture of breast cancer include irregular bolus arrangement, contrast staining, pooling of contrast material. Degeneracy and necrosis can be seen in the tumor cells after intraarterial chemotherapy. The stromal edema, infiltration of inflammatory cells and fibroplasia may take place. Conclusions Intraarterial infusion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is effective in the patients with breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate tension-free repair in the management of recurrent inguinal hernia. Methods From 1/1993 to 12/2002, 163 patients with recurrent inguinal hernia underwent reoperation, clinical data were reviewed. Results The male: female ratio was 138: 25, age from 34 to 76 years. The primary surgery had been traditional hemiorrhaphy without prothesis in 142 cases (87. 1 % , including 65 cases of Bassini ,35 cases of McWay and 42 cases of Shouldice) , a tension-free procedure in 12 cases(7. 4% , including 3 cases of laparoscopic mesh repair) and unknown techniques in 9 cases(5. 5% ). The average interval from the initial surgery to recurrence was 36?14 months (range from 3 months to 10 years). Recurrent hernias were treated with a Shouldice repair in 71 cases(43. 6% ) , a tension-free repair in 92 cases(56. 4% , including a laparoscopic mesh repair in 3 cases). All these 163 cases(100% ) were followed up for 56 ?1 months (range from 30 months to 12 years) after the second surgery. It was found that after reoperation the recurrence rate of Shouldice procedure and tension-free repair was 16. 1% (11/71) and 2. 2% (2/92) respectively (x2 = 8. 327 ,P

Objective To investigate the effects of edaranvone on lung injury induced by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods Twenty-four male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly assigned to one of 4 groups ( n = 6 each): group Ⅰ sham operation (group S); group Ⅱ myocardial I/R and group Ⅲ and Ⅳ different doses of edaravone ( group E1, E2 ). The animals were anesthetized, intubated and mechanically ventilated. In group Ⅱ-Ⅳ myocardial I/R was induced by occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min followed by 3 h reperfusion. In group Ⅲ and Ⅳ edavarone 3 and 10 mg/kg was administered via right femoral vein at 1 min before reperfusion respectively. The animals were sacrificed by exsanguination at the end of 3 h reperfusion. Blood was collected for determination of serum CK-MB activity and total protein content. The left lung was lavaged and the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was colleted for determination of protein content. Pulmonary permeability index (PPI) was calculated. The lung tissue was obtained for determination of BD-2 mRNA and protein and TNF-α expression. Results The serum CK-MB activity, PPI,BD-2 mRNA and protein and TNF-α expression were significantly higher in group I/R, E1 and E2 than in group S,but significantly lower in group E1 and E2 than in group I/R and in group E2 than in group E1. Conclusion Edaravone can reduce myocardial I/R-induced lung injury by scavenging oxygen free radicals and inhibiting inflammatory response of lung tissues in rats.
