BACKGROUND:Previously, serious thoracolumbar burst fractures with spinal cord injury were mainly treated by anterior surgery. The superiority of conventional posterior repair lies in strong reduction and fixation effects. However, it is difficult to fuly decompression. The anterior and central cylinders of the injured vertebra cannot receive good reconstruction. Loss of correction and internal fixation failure always appear. It remains controversial which repair method is more ideal. OBJECTIVE:To comparatively analyze the effect of posterior and anterior approaches with subtotal vertebrectomy, decompression, reconstruction of spine, and internal fixation for patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures. METHODS: The data of 42 patients with thoracolumbar burst fracture treated by anterior and posterior approaches with subtotal vertebrectomy, decompression, and reconstruction of spine from May 2006 to December 2012 was retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedures: anterior approach group (n=23) and posterior approach group (n=19). They were folowed up for at least 24 months. Repair results and imaging results were compared in patients of both groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:None patients in the two groups affected fixator loosing or breakage, and obtained good bone fusion. The intraoperative blood loss was more and operative time was longer in the anterior approach group than in the posterior approach group, showing significant difference (P < 0.05). The pulmonary function was significantly better in the posterior approach group than in the anterior approach group (P < 0.05). Visual Analog Scale score, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score for back pain and Frankel classification were significantly improved during final folow-up compared with pre-treatment in both groups, but no significant difference was found between groups (P > 0.05). No significant difference in the anterior vertebral height and kyphosis Cobb angle was detected before treatment, at 1 week after treatment and during final folow-up (P > 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher in the anterior approach group than in the posterior approach group (P < 0.05). These findings confirm that subtotal vertebrectomy through anterior approach and posterior approach can effectively repair thoracolumbar burst fractures. However, the complications of posterior approach are less, and posterior approach has few impacts on the pulmonary function, is safe, and has good biocompatibility with the host.

AIM: To explore the therapeutic effect of malleolus radialis implantation with vascularized periosteal flap for disunion of carpal navicular fracture, and investigate the characteristics of tissue implantation. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with disunion in carpal navicular fracture were selected from Jiangyin People's Hospital from January 2000 to January 2006, with the informed consents of all the patients. They were treated with implantation of malleolus radialis with vascularized periosteal flap, fixed with plaster cast for 8-10 weeks. Therapeutic effect was evaluated as: ①excellent: normal activity of carpal joints, without soreness sense, fracture line disappeared by X ray;②fine: uncomfortable activity of carpal joints, with slight limitations, fracture line disappeared by X ray. RESULTS: ①All 32 cases of the disunion in carpal navicular fracture were synostosis displayed by X ray.②There were 23 cases followed up for 3-12 months, 7 cases for 13-24 months, and 2 cases for 25-36 months. Carpal joints function achieved the standard of the uninjured side, without pain or affection on daily life.③The therapeutic effect was excellent in 22 cases, fine in 10 cases, and good rate was 100%. CONCLUSION: Implantation of malleolus radialis with vascularized periosteal flap is an effective way to treat the disunion of carpal navicular fracture.

Aim To develop a sensitive, specific and accurate method for the pharmacokinetic study of QO-58 ( a novel M channel opener ) in rats after intragas-tric ( ig) and intravenous ( iv) administration. Meth-ods QO-58 was administered at the doses of 25,50, 100 mg · kg-1 ( ig ) and at single dose of 100 mg · kg-1(iv), respectively. Blood samples were obtained at intervals after each administration. Plasma samples were deproteinized with acetonitrile after addition of in-ternal standard, and detected by RP-HPLC. The main parameters of pharmacokinetics were calculated by DAS2. 1. 1 software. Results The calibration curve in plasma was linear over the range of 0. 1 ~160 mg · L-1 in rat plasma, and the limit of detection ( LOD) was 0. 1 mg · L-1 . The intra-day and inter-day RSD was less than 20%. The recovery of QO-58 in rat plas-ma was 89. 56% ~101. 38%. The concentration-time curves of QO-58 in rat palsma were consistent with the two-compartment model after both oral and intravenous administration. The main pharmacokinetic parameters for QO-58 following oral administration with three doses (25, 50, 100 mg· kg-1 ) in rat were as follows:Cmax (mg·L-1):8.25,16.29,18.27;T12β(h): 8.24, 5. 01, 5. 92; AUC0-∞ ( g · min · L-1 ):261. 94, 189. 57,90. 65. Conclusion The developed method is simple and specific, and is suitable for preclinical pharmacokinetic studies of QO-58 .

Objective:To investigate the effect of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (E-PTFE) combined with autologous costal cartilage in rhinoplasty.Methods:Forty-two patients who underwent rhinoplasty in the form of E-PTFE combined with autologous costal cartilage in the Department of Plastic Surgery, Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to December 2018 were selected as the research object. The polytetrafluoroethylene combined with autologous costal cartilage was used for rhinoplasty. The dorsal nasal skin was dissected through an inverted " V" type combined with subalar cartilage incision, and then the costal cartilage was cut into appropriate cartilage slices to build the nasal tip stent. According to the degree of elevation of the nasal dorsum, the sculpted E-PTFE was placed under the nasal dorsal fascia. The rectus abdominis fascia covered the apex of the nose, and the incision was closed by suture.Results:The nasal appearance of the forty-two patients was significantly improved, with good nasal shape and no serious complications. After 6-12 months of follow-up, 40 cases were satisfacted with the effect of the rhinoplasty, accounting for 95.2%.Conclusions:The use of polytetrafluoroethylene combined with autologous costal cartilage can effectively raise the dorsum of the nose, extend the length of the nose, project the nasal tip in the rhinoplasty. This procedure is accurate and safe, reach a favorable long-term shape and own high satisfaction, and it thus is worthy of popularization in clinic.

Objective To explore the correlation between ostiomeatal complex(OMC)variation, nasal septum deviation and nasosinusitis with CT imaging.Methods The clinical and imaging data of 256 patients undergoing nasal and paranasal CT examination from June 1, 2015 to May 30, 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with paranasal sinus fractures, tumors and artifacts were not included in this study.Taking the image of standard coronal MPR built with thin axial sections at the level of middle of semilunar fissure as observing image,and the direction,location and extent of OMC variations were observed and recorded. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of nasal septum deviation.OMC mutation,the incidence of unilateral mutation,incidence of paranasal sinusitis and the incidence of unilateral bilateral nasal sinusitis between the two groups was analyzed by χ2test with two independent samples. Then according to the presence or absence of OMC mutation, the patients were divided into two groups.The incidence of paranasal sinusitis and bilateral paranasal sinusitis were compared between the two groups. Results Two hundred and fifty six cases of CT imging of parannasal sinus were included in the study,96 cases were with nasal septum deviation, 160 were with non-deviation of nasal septum. The incidence rate of OMC variation between the two groups showed significant difference(χ2=38.40,P<0.05).The incidence rate of unilateral and bilateral OMC variation showed significant difference(χ2=13.70,P<0.05),among which 54 were unilateral variations,50(92.6%)variations were located at the same side of nasal deviation(side of the nasal cavity widened).The incidence rate of sinusitis between the two groups showed non-significant difference(χ2=0.50,P>0.05).The incidence rate between unilateral and bilateral nasosinusitis showed non-significant difference(χ2=2.25,P>0.05).Of the 256 cases,128 were with OMC variations,and 128 were with non-OMC variation.The incidence rate of nasosinusitis between the two groups showed non-significant difference(χ2=0.56,P>0.05). The incidence rate between unilateral and bilateral nasosinusitis showed non-significant difference(χ2=3.57,P>0.05). Conclusion Ipsilateral OMC variation occurred in nasal septum deviation might be a compensation to nasal cavity widening while not a obstructive factor in causing nasosinusitis.
