Objective To explore the application and effect of three-dimensional animation teaching software combined with case based learning ( CBL ) in inguinal hernia clinical teaching . Methods Totally 30 eight-year program students of Grade 2008 of Peking University People's Hos-pital were randomly divided into the teaching software combined with the CBL group(n=15) and tradi-tional teaching group(n=15). Three-dimensional animation teaching software was used to simulate the whole process of inguinal hernia anatomy and physiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diag-nosis and treatment in teaching software combined with CBL group. CBL teaching was conducted by setting problems through typical case and case discussion under the guidance of the teacher . The teacher-centered teaching, teaching rounds and watching operation were used in the traditional teaching group . Theory examination and physical examination were given at the end of the study and achieve-ment differences were compared between 2 groups. Questionnaire was used to investigate students' evaluation of the teaching method in teaching software combined with the CBL group and data were statistically described using t test. Results Theoretical exam score of the teaching software combined with the CBL group was (94.80±1.54), superior to the traditional teaching group(86.10±1.86), and the difference was statistically significant(t=8.242, P=0.000). Clinical skill test score of the teaching software combined with the CBL group was (91.10±1.01), superior to the traditional teaching group (85.90±2.17), and the difference was statistically significant(t=8.531, P=0.000). The survey result showed that more than 80.00% students thought that this teaching method could arouse students' learning enthusiasm, promote their mastery and application of knowledge, strengthen their self-study ability, cultivating their clinical thinking and improving their learning efficiency. Conclusion The teaching method of three dimensional animation teaching software combined with CBL , as a new teaching mode, helps to improve the quality of teaching.

Objective To retrospectively review the clinical experience of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) during 10 years,and to propose a new classified treatment for OVCF.Methods 1200 patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture underwent percutaneous kyphoplasty from Aug.2003 to Aug.2013.There were 62 severe patients (5.2％,81 vertebraes),aged from 69 to 95 years (average 76.5 years),with 66.7％ to 78.9％ (average 71.3％) of vertebral body compression.Patients were followed up for 12 to 120 months (average 78 months).According to the preoperative imaging data,the fractures were classified into four types:simple type,pseudarthrosis type,cavern type,progressive type.Individualized PKP was performed on each patient.Results All the patients tolerated procedure well.The visual analogue scale (VAS) was reduced from (7.2± 2.1)preoperatively to (2.5±1.7) 3 days after PKP(t=13.197,P＜0.01).The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scales was improved from (29.5±8.2) to (46.5±9.9) 3 days after surgery(t=22.884,P＜0.01).Most patients were satisfied with the efficacy.The anterior height of vertebral body was increased from (14.21±2.44) mm preoperatively to (19.28 ±4.37) mm 3 days after surgery(t=9.108,P＜0.01).The Cobb angle were decreased from (16.45 ± ±5.37)° to (9.41±4.13)° 3 days after surgery(t=9.355,P＜0.01).The height of vertebrae was lost and the kyphosis angle aggravated with the follow-up time.New vertebral fractures were found in 21 patients (21/62,33.9％) at the last follow-up.Conclusions The preoperative accurate classification of severe osteoporosis vertebral compression fracture and individualized PKP can raise the successful operation rate and reduce the incidences of complications.

The purpose of this study was to investigate bacterial translocation and change in intestinal permeability in patients after abdominal surgery. Sixty-three patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were collected prior to operation and 2, 24, 48 h after surgery for bacterial culture, microbial DNA extraction, plasma D-lactate and endotoxin measurement. PCR analysis was performed after DNA extraction, with beta-lactosidase gene of E. coli and 16S rRNA gene as target genes. All patients were observed for a period of 30 days for infectious complications. Our results showed that no bacterial DNA was detected before surgery, but after operation it was found in 12 patients (19.0%). Bacterial DNA was detected in 41.7% (10/24) of SIRS patients and 5.1% (2/39) of non-SIRS patients (P<0.01). About 83.3% of PCR-positive patients developed systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), but only 27.5% of PCR-negative patients did so (P<0.01). Two thirds of PCR-positive patients developed infectious complications, while none of PCR-negative patients did (P<0.01). The blood culture was positive only in 3 patients (4.8%), who were all PCR-positive. E. coli DNA was found in 66.7% of the PCR-positive patients. The plasma levels of D-lactate and endotoxin were elevated significantly 2, 24 and 48 h after operation in PCR-positive patients, with a significant positive correlation found between them (r=0.91, P<0.01). It is concluded that increased intestinal permeability was closely related with bacterial translocation. Intestinal bacterial translocation (most commonly E. coli) might occur at early stage (2 h) after abdominal surgery. Postoperative SIRS and infection might bear a close relationship with bacterial translocation.

The lower expression of CD20 antigen molecules on the B cell membrane is the primary characteristic of B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). In this paper, we combined laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and quantum dots labeling to detect the expression and distribution of CD20 molecules on CD20+B lymphocyte surface. Simultaneously, we investigated the morphology and ultrastructure of the B lymphocytes that belonged to the normal persons and B-CLL patients through utilizing the atomic force microscope (AFM). In addition, we measured the force spectroscopy of CD20 antigen-antibody binding using the AFM tips modified with CD20 antibody. The fluorescent images indicated that the density of CD20 of normal CD20+B lymphocytes was much higher than that of B-CLL CD20+B cells. The AFM data show that ultrastructure of B-CLL CD20+B lymphocytes became more complicated. Moreover, the single molecular force spectroscopy data show that the special force of CD20 antigen-antibody was four times bigger than the nonspecific force between the naked AFM tip and cell surface. The force map showed that CD20 molecules distributed homogeneously on the normal CD20+B lymphocytes, whereas, the CD20 molecules distributed heterogenous on B-CLL CD20+B lymphocytes. Our data provide visualized evidence for the phenomenon of low-response to rituximab therapy on clinical. Meanwhile, AFM is possible to be a powerful tool for development and screening of drugs for pharmacology use.

Objective: To investigate the early clinical efficacy of bone cement modified with mineralized collagen in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP). Methods: All 98 cases of sin-gle vertebral osteoporotic compression fracture from June 2017 to August 2018 were studied. Forty-eight cases were treated with bone cement modified with mineralized collagen (modified group) and 50 cases were treated with traditional bone cement (traditional group). The basic clinical information including age, sex and bone mineral density of all patients were analyzed. The injectable time, volume, distribution (bone cement in the vertebra showing a whole mass without interruption or loss is known as type O while bone cement in the vertebra showing two masses with a small amount or none in the middle is known as type H) and leakage of bone cement during operation, visual analogue score(VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), height of anterior, middle and posterior columns of injured vertebrae and the incidence of adjacent vertebral fractures were compared between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences in age, sex, bone mineral density T value and bone ce-ment injection volume between the two groups. VSA score, ODI, anterior and middle column heights were significantly improved on the first day and 6 months after operation (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). In-traoperative cement injectable time was shorter in the traditional group than the modified group,and there was significant different between the two groups (t=3.428, P=0.002). The incidence of adjacent vertebral re-fracture was 12% in the traditional group and 2% in the modified group. There was significant different between the two groups (χ²=7.061, P=0.029). The leakage rate of bone cement was 10% in the traditional group and 6% in the modified group, andthere was significant difference between the two groups (χ²=7.963, P=0.019). The distribution of bone cement (O/H) in the traditional group was 20/30 and that in the modified group was 19/29, and there was significant difference between the two groups (χ²=38.992, P<0.001). Conclusion Modified bone cement has the same clinical effect as traditional bone cement in relieving pain and restoring the height of injured vertebra in the treat-ment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with PVP. However, the injectable time of modified bone cement is longer. The leakage rate and the incidence of re-fracture of adjacent vertebrae are significantly reduced.

Objective Surgical resection is the primary form of curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma.Recent reports suggested that when compared to non-anatomical resection,anatomical liver resection improved prognosis of HCC patients.Whether anatomical liver resection should be the preferred routine procedure remains controversial.Methods The data of 236 HCC patients who underwent curative hepatectomy at the PLA General Hospital from January 2008 to July 2013 were reviewed.The data included basic information,procedure,tumor related information and follow-up data.Factors influencing overall survival and tumor-free survival rates were analyzed by multivariate analysis.Multivariate analysis and stratification analysis were also used to evaluate the long-term efficacy of the different procedures.Results The 5-year survival rate of anatomical liver resection was 75％,which was significantly better than that of non-anatomical resection (65 ％) (P ＜ 0.05).The tumor-free survival rate was 51％,which was significantly better than that of non-anatomical resection (34％) P ＜ 0.05).Antiviral therapy prolonged survival time and tumor-free survival time of HbsAg-positive patients.Surgical procedure,tumor diameter,tumor staging,antiviral therapy were influencing factors of overall survival.Surgical procedure,tumor staging,antiviral therapy were influencing factors of tumor-free survival.Anatomical resection improved the tumor-free survival for patients with tumor diameters less than 5 cm (P =0.098),improved tumor-free survival for patients with TNM stage T1 and T2 (P =0.059),and significantly improved the overall survival and tumor-free survivals for patients with T3,T4 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Anatomical resection is recommended for treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

sely related with bacterial translocation. Intestinal bacterial translocation (most commonly E. coli) might occur at early stage (2 h) after ab-dominal surgery. Postoperative SIRS and infection might bear a close relationship with bacterial translocation.

Cystine is the primary source material for the synthesis of glutathione.However,the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of cystine are largely unknown.A surrogate analyte D4-cystine was employed to generate calibration curves for the determination of levels of D4-cystine and endogenous cystine in mice by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS).Validation assessments proved the sensitivity,specificity and reproducibility of the method with a lower limit of quantification(LLOQ)of 5 ng/mL over 5-5000 ng/mL in plasma.The pharmacokinetics of D4-cystine were evaluated after administering injections and oral solutions,both of which minimally impacted endogenous cystine levels.The absolute bioavailability of cystine was 18.6％,15.1％and 25.6％at doses of 25,50 and 100 mg/kg,respectively.Intravenously injected D4-cystine resulted in dramatically high plasma levels with reduced levels in the brain and liver.Intragastrically administered D4-cystine resulted in high levels in the plasma and stomach with relatively low levels in the lung,kidney,heart and brain.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and clinical effects of percutaneous endoscopic technique in treating multi-segmental lumbar spinal stenosis in the elderly.Methods Thirty elderly patients with multi-segmental lumbar spinal stenosis and an indefinite positioning of duty segments were retrospectively analyzed.Based on treatment mode of the stenotic segment of lumbar spine,all patients were divided to two groups.The segments of lateral recess or foraminal stenosis were treated with percutaneous endoscopic decompression via the transforaminal approach,while the segments of central stenosis were treated with percutaneous endoscopic decompression via the interlaminar approach.Results Twenty-seven (90％) patients were treated in double segments and three patients (10％) were treated in three segments.There were significant improvements in Visual Analogue Scale,Japanese Orthopaedic Association and Oswestry disability index scores at 3 day and 1 year after therapy as compared with pre-therapy (both P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Percutaneous endoscopic technique is safe and effective in the treatment of elderly multi-segmental lumbar spinal stenosis.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and changes between Dynesys and Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in the treatment of two-level lumbar degenerative disease.Methods:43 consecutive patients with lumbar degenerative disease were treated using the Dynesys or PLIF between June 2010 and June 2012. In all patients, 23patients were implanted Dynesys and other patients for PLIF. The follow-up period was at least 60 months. Used the Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) to evaluate the clinical outcomes. And during the follow-up period, collected the data for the intervertebral height and the range of motion (ROM), for the operation section and the upper adjacent vertebral. MRI and Grading Scale from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) were used to define the change of intervertebral disc signal.Results:The ODI index and VAS score both improved significantly at the final follow-up evaluation ( P<0.05), as compared to the basal line values. And in terms of imaging, there were no significant difference in the vertebral height of the operation section and the upper adjacent vertebral. The range of motion (ROM) for the operative section in the group of PLIF was significantly lower than that in Dynesys group ( P<0.05). And when it comes to the upper adjacent vertebral space, it was higher at the same time ( P<0.05). According to the UCLA Grading Scale, there were 3 cases in the Dynesys group and 11 in the PLIF group had radiological adjacent degeneration, the difference was significant between two groups ( P<0.05). And when it comes to the second intension, there were 3 patients in PLIF groups (TLIF 1; PLIF 2) but only 1 in Dynesys groups. Conclusion:Dynesys and PLIF are both effective for lumbar degenerative disease and show good medium and long-term clinical and radiographic results. But when it comes the risks in developing ASD and the ROM of adjacent segments, Dynesys stabilization can be the better choice.
