The changes of alanine amino-transferase (ALT) in plasma, glutathione (GSH) in the whole blood, the malondialdehyde(MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the liver's tissue in mice were studied in the group with azathioprine (Aza) 10 mg?kg-1?d-1 and in the group with Aza mixed selenium (Se) 1 mg ?kg-1?d-l for 1 and 2 weeks. The results showed that in the Aza group, the levels of ALT, MDA increased and that of GSH, GSH-Px decreased significantly at 1 wk and 2 wk. But in the Se group the levels of ALT, MDA decreased and that of GSH, GSH-Px increased significantly, which approached the nor-mal level. The hepatocytes degeneration and necrosis were observed by light microscope in Aza group but not in Se group. The results indicated that Se had protective effects on Aza hepa-totoxicity in mice.

Objective To explore the effect of minimally invasive transpedicular bone grafting additional ver -tebral pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture .Methods 60 patients with thoracolumbar fracture were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group ,30 cases in each group .The control group received traditional open inter vertebral four nail pedicle screw fixation combined with posterolateral bone graft fusion for treatment while the observation group was treated by minimally invasive transpedicular bone grafting addi -tional vertebral pedicle screw fixation ,to analyze the clinical effects .Results The imaging parameters of postopera-tion[the sagittal index(1.9 ±7.1)°,Cobb's angle(4.2 ±3.5)°,change of vertebral body height (90.2 ±6.5)%]in the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (t=6.78,6.80,7.02,all P<0.05). The imaging parameters 3 months after operation[the sagittal index(4.9 ±3.2)°,Cobb's angle(7.0 ±2.7)°,change of vertebral body height (87.6 ±4.1)%] in the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group(t=6.78,6.80,7.02,all P<0.05).The operation time,incision length,bleeding volume,postoperative drain-age,postoperative hospital stay of the observation group were (141.9 ±14.2)min,(10.8 ±1.7)cm,(105.7 ±12.3)mL, (5.6 ±4.1)mL,(6.6 ±1.1)d,respectively,which were significantly better than those of the control group (t=7.72,7.89,5.68,all P<0.05).Conclusion Minimally invasive transpedicular bone grafting additional vertebral pedicle screw fixation has a significant effect in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures ,which is safe and reliable .

Objective To explore the early-term efficacy of porous titanium trabecular metal acetabular (TTM) compo-nents produced by E-beam technology in total hip arthroplasty(THA). Methods From May 2012 to JUN 2013, nineteen primary THA patients (20 hips) were devided into observation group of porous TTM acetabular prosthesis produced by E-beam technology and control group of Pinnacle acetabular prosthesis. TTM group had nine patients (10 hips), including 7 males and 2 females, with the mean age of 61.0 years. Pinnacle group had ten patients (10 hips), including 6 males and 4 females, with the mean age of 58.6 years. The patients were followed up at the 6,12,24 weeks after operation. X-rays were taken at the follow-ups. Acetabular compo-nent stability and osseointegration were assessed through radiograph. Harris scores system,SF-36 Heath Survey Questionnaire and WOMAC Osteoarthritis index were recorded before and after operation to evaluate clinical effects of surgery. Results In TTM group, the Harris score improved from 48.2 ± 5.5 preoperatively to 89.5 ± 4.0 postoperatively, SF-36 scores from 329.1 ± 86.7 to 763.8 ± 15.1, and WOMAC index from 18.8 ± 11.0 to 1.3 ± 0.9. No cases suffered aseptic loosening and migration. After 24 weeks, There was no significant difference regarding Harris scores system,SF-36 Heath Survey Questionnaire and WOMAC Os-teoarthritis index between two groups. In TTM group, two hips had a radiolucent line postoperatively, which occurred in 2 and 3 zone. The lines were disappeared 24 weeks later. Conclusion In THA, the initial stability of TTM produced by E-beam tech-nology was fine, which can facilitate bone ingrowth in early stage. However, the long-term follow-up effect still needs to be con-firmed.

Objective To explore the efficacy of fast-track surgery (FTS) combined with standard rehabilitation program (HSS) in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods Ninety elderly patients with femoral neck fracture were randomly assigned to receive either FZS plus HSS Tehabilitation program (experimental group,n =45) or HSS rehabilitation program (control group,n =45) after THA from December 2013 to December 2014 in our hospital.The experimental group had 23 men and 22 women,with an average age of 68.2 ± 3.7 years.The control group had 22 men and 23 women,with an average age of 70.6 ± 4.1 years.Harris score and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to assess the hip joint function before operation,4,8 and 14 weeks after operation.The complications were compared between the 2 groups at 14 weeks after operation.Results All the patients completed a 14-week follow-up.There were no significant differences in Harris and VAS scores at pre-operation between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).At 4,8 and 14 weeks after operation,the Harris scores in the experimental group (67.2 ±3.5,88.3 ±2.5and 92.5±3.3) were significantly higher than those in the control group (52.5±7.8,65.8±4.9 and 72.2±4.9) and the VAS scores in the experimental group (3.4±0.8,2.2±0.8 and 1.3±0.5) were significantly lower than those in the control group (5.6 ±0.9,4.2 ±0.8 and 2.9 ±0.8) (P ＞ 0.05).There were no complications in the experiment group while there were 14 complications (31.1％) in the control group,showing a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion FTS combined with HSS standardized rehabilitation can effectively reduce the incidence of complications and accelerate the functional recovery of hip joint in elderly patients after THA.
