0.05). This study suggest that unlike other autonomic ganglia, the enteric nerve ganglia may exhibit a relatively high capacity of autonomic regulation and compensatory adaptation, and also provide some histochemical evidences for the transneuronal degeneration changes.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of risk factors and coronary angiography (CAG)in young patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 36 consecutive AMI female patients (age≤44 years)who underwent coronary angiography were retrospectively retrieved from the database,and 90 AMI patients whose age >44 years who also underwent coronary angiography were enrolled as a control (elderly)group.Characteristics of risk factors and coronary angiography were com-pared between the two groups.Results The risk factors:BMI,family history of coronary heart disease and high triglycerides(TG)were major in the youth group.The percentage of single-branch lesion was lower in the young patients.The prevalence of left anterior descending (LAD)was higher in the young patients(P <0.05).Conclusions The main risk factors in young and elderly patients are significantly different.The out-comes of CAG in the young patients show the coronary lesion are mostly single vessel lesion,and early inter-vention may improve prognosis.

The large majority of elderly patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery take antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs on a regular basis. Antithrombotic treatments predisposes to bleeding complications that may lead to retrobulbar haemorrhage, suprachoroidal haemorrhage and ultimately, to loss of vision. However, discontinuation of antithrombotic medication in such patients may lead to thromboembolic events with serious consequences. There are no guidelines on perioperative management of ophthalmic patients who are on antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs. We reviewed traditional and newer agents in the context of cataract, vitreoretinal, glaucoma and oculoplastic surgery. Recommendations are given for continuation, cessation and recommencement of these agents in order to minimise the risk of bleeding and thrombotic complications.

Objective To investigate the effect of experimental benzolism on marrow eryghrocyte micromucleus.Methods Fifty male KunMingmice(KM)were randomly divided into 5 groups:one control group and four experimental groups with 10 mice in each group.The mice were injected subcutaneously with sodium chloride in control group and benzene in experimental groups on every Monday,Wednesday and Friday for four weeks.Four experimental groups were injected with a dosage of 0.5 ml/kg(group B1),1.0 nd/kg(group B2),1.5 ml/kg(group B3) and 2.0 ml/ks(group B4),respectively.Before and after injection of sodium chloride or benzene weekly.weight was measured,and the alteration of erythrocyte micronucleus in peripheral blood and marrow were detected.Results ① Compared to the control group,several indices were partly changed in B1 and B2 groups,while all indices changed significantly in group B3 and B4 groups four weeks after injection(P<0.01).②The erythrocyte micronucleus rate of experimental mice in peripheral blood and marrow showed ascending tendency with the extension of benzene injection phase,peak emerged in the third week and decreased in the fourth week.③In the 4th week,compared to the control group,the alteration of erythrocyte micronucleus in marrow in all experimental groups were significantly increaged(P<0.05).Conclusions Benzolism may induce the increasing of micronucleus rate of mature erythrocyte in peripheral blood and erythrocyte in marrow.which can be used to detect status of being restrained in marrow erythrocyte series.

Objective To study the gene mutation characteristics of patients with spinocerebellar ataxias(SCA) in Ningxia region.Methods The SCA3/Machado-Joseph disease(MJD)trinucleotide CAG repeat number was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR),capillary gel electrophoresis(CGE) and DNA sequencing in 6 patients with SCAs and 4 normal kindreds from a family in Ningxia region.Results All patients and 1 kindred were positive for SCA3/MJD;other 3 kindreds were negative for SCA3/MJD.The CAG repeat number was expanded to 66～81 in the patients with SCA3/MJD and a kindred,and 22～33 in other 3 kindreds.Conclusion There is SCA3/MJD in the patients with SCAs of Ningxia region.Gene examining has the great significance for definite diagnosis in the patients with SCAs.

BACKGROUND:Computer-assisted navigation technique has been widely applied in spinal surgery, but there is stil lack of systematic reviews on this technique in lumbar pedicle screw fixation.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the application of computer-assisted navigation technique in lumbar pedicle screw fixation.
METHODS:Databases such as PubMed, Embase and China journal ful-text database CNKI were searched for articles about computer-assisted navigation in lumbar pedicle screw fixation, and related studies and literatures were hand-searched as wel , and then insertion accuracy, intraoperative blood loss, operative time consumption and rate of insertion-related complications between computer-assisted navigation technique group and conservative technique group were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Final y 7 studies which met the inclusion criteria were included with 784 patients and 4 101 lumbar pedicle screws in total. Meta-analysis indicated that malposition rate [relative risk (RR)=0.44, 95%confidence interval (CI):(0.27, 0.69), P=0.000 4] and intraoperative blood loss [weighted mean difference (WMD)=-172.40, 95%CI:(-246.26,-98.53), P<0.000 01] had statistical y significant differences between computer-assisted navigation technique group and conservative insertion group. However, operative time consumption [WMD=-31.45, 95%CI:(-85.56, 22.66), P=0.25] and incidence of complications [RR=0.41, 95%CI:(0.12, 1.41), P=0.16] did not show significant differences between groups. Application of computer-assisted navigation technique in lumbar pedicle screw fixation would improve insertion accuracy. However, further study is stil needed to make clear whether this technique can improve final outcome in post-operative patients.

Objective To study the etiology of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in Tibetan population at high altitude area.Methods Data of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) from January 2013 to January 2016 were retrospectively collected.Tibetan and Han patients were selected.According to AP diagnosis criteria, the patients were divided into SAP and non-severe acute pancreatitis (NSAP).Chi square test and multiple Logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis.Results There were 53 Tibetan SAP patients, 98 Tibetan NSAP patients, and 47 Han SAP patients.The results of etiology analysis indicated that the ratios of biliary diseases caused pancreatitis in Tibetan SAP patients, Tibetan NSAP patients and Han SAP patients were 5.7% (3/53), 51.0% (50/98) and 6.4% (3/47), respectively;those alcohol caused pancreatitis were 39.6% (21/53), 10.2% (10/98) and 34.0% (16/47), respectively;those hyperlipidemia caused pancreatitis were 39.6% (21/53), 9.2% (9/98) and 40.4% (19/47), respectively;those drug caused pancreatitis were 1.9% (1/53), 2.0% (2/98) and 2.1% (1/47), respectively;those infection caused pancreatitis were 1.9%(1/53), 6.1%(6/98) and 2.1%(1/47), respectively;those trauma caused pancreatitis were 1.9%(1/53), 5.1%(5/98) and 2.1%(1/47), respectively;those other reasons were 3.8% (2/53), 13.3% (13/98) and 4.3% (2/47), respectively;and those unexplained pancreatitis were 5.7% (3/53), 3.1% (3/98) and 8.5% (4/47), respectively.The ratio of biliary diseases caused pancreatitis in Tibetan SAP patients was lower than that of Tibetan NSAP patients (5.7%, 3/53 vs 51.0%, 50/98), however the ratios of alcohol and hyperlipidemia higher than those of Tibetan NSAP patients (39.6%, 21/53 vs 10.2%, 10/98;39.6%,21/53 vs 9.2%, 9/98), and the differences were statistically significant (x2=31.069, 18.246 and 20.019, all P<0.01).Biliary disease was the independent etiology of NSAP in Tibetan (odd ratios (OR)=20.668, 95% confidence interval (CI) 5.072 to 59.427, P<0.01), but alcohol (OR=16.007, 95%CI 3.700 to 45.654) and hyperlipidemia disease (OR=11.590, 95%CI 2.581 to 33.859) were the independent etiologies of SAP (both P<0.01).There was no statistically significant difference in etiology of SAP between Tibetan and Han (P>0.05).Conclusion The etiology of SAP in high altitude Tibetan people is different from that of NSAP, however there is no difference in etiology of SAP between Tibetan and Han in the same area.
