[Objective] To analyze application of reforming posture to anterior cervical vertebrae surgery.[Methods]The results of 50 cervical myelopathy patients,who underwent anterior cervical decompression and applied of reforming posture,were retrospectively reviewed at a mean follow-up of 2.5 years (2~4 years).[Results]Patients were also evaluated pre-operatively and post-operatively using a modified version of the Japanese Orthopedics Association Scale(JOA).78.4% of patients showed improvement rate,90% of patients showed excellent-to-good results,and the fusion rates were 100%.[Conclusion]With reforming posture,the intervertebral space of cervical vertebra was thoroughly revealed,surgical trauma was reduced,and effectiveness was improved,the time was shortened and bone fusion was enhanced.

Objective To explore the value of color doppler ultrasonography by bed side in the early diagnosis of HIE in full term neonates.Methods The changes of cerebral parenchymal and cerebral arterial blood stream parameter on 35 cases of neonates clinically diagnosed HIE of mild and moderate degree and 40 cases of normal newborns on the 24,48 and 72 hours after birth were observed by color doppler ultrasonography by bed side.Results 1.The cerebral parenchyma was even echo in normal newborns,but it was maldistributed and reinforced in mild asphyxia neonates and it was more serious in moderate degree.The echo of cerebral parenchyma in mild degree was near normal in 48 hours after birth,while the echo of cerebral parenchyma in moderate degree was still maldistributed and reinforced in 48 and 72 hours after birth.2.There was obvious changes in the cerebral arterial blood stream parameter and hemodynamics of the asphyxia newborns compared with normals.The systolic peak velocity(Vs)and end diastolic velocity(Vd)of the cerebral arteries in mild and moderate degree were obviously lower than that of control group in 24,48 hours after birth(Pa0.05).3.Resistance index(RI)of the cerebral arteries in mild and moderate degree were higher than that of control group in 24,48 hours after birth(Pa0.05).Conclusion Color doppler ultrasonography by bed side is a convenient,noninvasive method for diagnosing HIE.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of biapenem in percutaneous nephrolithotripsy for the prevention and control infections.MethodsA retrospective study was accomplished.The clinical data of 68 patients with PCNL which used biapenem for prevention and control infection from Aug 2009 to Feb 2011 in the hospital of Hubei Provincial Corps of CAPF were collected,the treatment effect of biapenem in percutaneous nephrolithotripsy was evaluated.Results57 cases use the injection biapenem each 0.3g,2 times a day intravenously 7 to 14 days could effectively prevent postoperative infections in perioperative period;11 cases of urinary infection and systemic inflammatory response syndrome after pereutaneous nephrolithotripsy use injection biapenem each 0.3g,every 8-hour intravenously 7 to 14 days,were effective treatment of postoperative infections.ConclusionBiapenem was effective in the prevention of infection in percutaneous nephrolithotripsy.

Objective To investigate the MR imaging findings of acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis(EAE) in correlation with pathology. Methods An EAE model was induced by intradermal inoculation with guinea pig CNS homogenate in 6 female Lewis rats.Another 6 rats served as control.The clinical presentation and body weight of the animals were recorded daily. Routine MRI,Gd-enhanced MRI were performed when EAE animals showed the initial symptoms. Uhrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide(USPIO) colloid solution was also administrated intravenously and MRI was performed again after 24 hours. The brain was removed instantly after the second MR imaging. The pathological exams including HE staining,myelin sheath staining and prussian staining were performed.The imaging findings were observed in correlation with pathological results. Results The EAE rats showed decrease of body weight on the 6th to 7th day after inoculation,and the clinical symptoms appeared on the 10th to 11th day after inoculation.Routine MRI did not show any definite abnormalities.The Gd-enhanced MRI found the diffuse thickening and enhancement of brain meninges.The USPIO-enhanced MRI showedareas of low signal intensity at white matter of medulla oblongata on T2WI,and high signal intensity was observed at the corresponding area on T1 WI. Gradient T2 * WI found more foci of low signal intensity in eerebellar white matter besides the lesions in the brain stem.The range of abnormal signal intensity was larger in animal with higher clinical scores than that with lower score.There were no abnormal findings in control animaL The pathological exam found "perivascular cuff" in the brain white matter in EAE animals,some accompanied with adjacent demyelinatian. The prussian staining found blue particles within the cytoplasm of the macrophages around the lesion,which corresponded to the area of low signal intensity on T2WI.Conclusion USPIO-enhanced MRI could reveal acute EAE lesions which were not capable of being shown on routine MRI and Gd-enhanced MRI.It can image the macrophages around the lesions in vivo.USPIO is important for future research and application in MS patients.

The imbalance of lipid metabolism is an important factor causing a series of metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hyperlipidemia.Liver X receptors is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, which maintains cholesterol homeostasis by regulating cholesterol absorption, transport, reverse cholesterol transport, biosynthesis and other functions.It plays an important role in maintaining lipid homeostasis by regulating de novo fat synthesis to maintain the balance of fatty acids in the body.

Objective To explore the role of protein kinase C(PKC) to regulate the activation of nuclear factor-?B(NF-?B)in T lymphocyte in children with acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods Sterility peripheral blood was collected from acute ITP children(n=30)and healthy children(n=30).T lymphocytes were isolated and purified,and divided into 3 groups:control group,PMA group stimulated with PMA,PMA plus H-7 group stimulated with PMA and H-7.The expression of NF-?B and inhibitor protein-?B(I-?B)was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot,respectively.Results The percentage of cells with active NF-?B was significantly higher and the expression level of I-?B was significantly lower in acute ITP PMA group than that in acute ITP control group and normal PMA group,respectively(all P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of Endostar and oxaliplatin plus S-1 ( SOX regimen) in patients with advanced Primary carcinoma of the liver. Methods 32 advanced primary liver cancer patients admitted from February 2012 to August 2014 were assigned to SOX regimen as systemic chemotherapy: oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 iv d1; S-1 (80 ~ 120 mg, twice-daily) for 14 days; 150 mg Endostar which was dissolved in 210 mL normal saline for 120 h durative transfusion. Treatment was repeated every 21 days. Objective clinical efficacy and adverse effect was assessed every 2 cycles. Serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level was also monitored according to the schedule. Results All 32 patients were available to be assessed, the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) ,the clinical benefit response rates (CBR), 1 year survival rate was 15.6%, 46.9%, 56.3%, 58.3% respectively. The serum AFP respond rate was 19.4%. Major adverse effects were myelosuppression and fatigue , mostly graded at 1 ~ 2. There were no treatment-related death. Conclusions These preliminary results suggest that continuous intravenous pumping of Endostar combined with SOX regimen could provide survival benefits with tolerable adverse effects.

ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of Xiangshaliujunzi decoction on critically ill patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction accompanied by spleen deficiency syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its influence on tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).Methods Forty-eight critically ill patients admitted to Department of Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) in Zhejiang Provincal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Xiasha Campus from February to December 2015 were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into observation group (26 cases) and control group (22 cases) by random number table method. The patients in both groups were given routine emergency western therapy, and in the observation group, additionally, Xiangshaliujunzi decoction (ingredients: codonopsis pilosula 20 g, atractylodes macrocephala koidz 12 g, poria cocos 12 g, radix glycyrrhizae preparata 4 g, rhizoma pinelliae preparatum 6 g, pericarpium citri reticulatae 5 g, fructus amomi villosi 5 g, radix aucklandiae 4 g, rhizoma zingiberis recens 3 pieces) 80 mL was prepared and divided into two parts for nasal feeding, once 40 mL, twice a day, while the patients in the control group received the nasal feeding with the same amount of warm boiled water. Before treatment and 3 days and 5 days after treatment, the gastrointestinal function scores were assessed, and the changes of the levels of plasma TNF-α, IL-6 were recorded.Results There were no statistical significant differences in gastrointestinal function scores, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 between the two groups before treatment and 3 days after treatment (allP ﹥ 0.05). But 5 days after the treatment, the gastrointestinal function scores, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were obviously decreased in two groups, and the degree of decrease in observation group was more significant [gastrointestinal function score: 0.92±0.85 vs. 2.27±0.77, TNF-α (ng/L): 17.7±2.4 vs. 25.0±4.2, IL-6 (ng/L): 16.9±2.4 vs. 25.0±3.4, allP < 0.01].Conclusion Xiangshaliujunzi decoction has therapeutic effect on critically ill patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction and accompanied by spleen deficiency in TCM, the mechanism may be related to decreasing the levels of TNF-α and IL-6, thereby depressing the inflammation.
