Objective To investigate the impact of hepatic steatosis on the outcome of adefovir therapy in chronic hepatitis B patients with HBeAg positive. Methods The medical records of 154 patients who were diagnosed with CHB positive for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and received adefovir therapy for 24 weeks between January, 2011 and December, 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Baseline status and virologic response, biochemical response and serology response between patient with (n = 68) and without (n = 86) steatosis who were proven by ultrasound. Both groups were given oral adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg/d for 24 weeks , recovery rate in ALT/AST, negative conversion rate of HBV DNA and HBeAg were recorded and compared. Results Recovery rate in ALT/AST in observation group was 67.7%, which is lower than control group (83.7%), and the difference is significant(P < 0.05). Negative conversion rate of HBV DNA and HBeAg in control group is 81.4%and 83.7%, which is significantly higher than observation group (whose values are 58.8% and 44.1%, P < 0.05). Conclusion Hepatic steatosis has significant impact on the outcome of adefovir treatment.

BACKGROUND:Spiral acetabular prosthesis has good stability during total hip arthroplasty.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the early therapeutic effect of Zweymüler spiral acetabular prosthesis in total hip arthroplasty for patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip.
METHODS:Totaly 38 patients (48 hips) with developmental dysplasia of the hip received total hip arthroplasty with Zweymüler spiral acetabular prosthesis from January 2011 to June 2013 were selected. The clinical effect was observed after the operation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 38 patients were folowed up for 21-46 months (averagely 42.3 months). One case suffered from deep venous thrombosis. Harris scores and Charnely scores apparently increased after surgery compared with that before surgery. The mean length of the osteotomy was 2.42±0.48 cm, and the mean extended length of the affected limb was 4.58±1.15 cm. X-ray films showed that there was no disunion of the osteotomy, no subsidence and loosening of prosthesis. The position of the acetabulum was suitable. The healing time of bone graft was 3-11 months (averagely 5.3 months). The coverage of the acetabular component was 92.5%, with a good initial stability, and the excelent rate of the operation was 90%. The satisfaction rate of patients was 84%. These results indicate that the Zweymüler spiral acetabular prosthesis has the advantages of reasonable design, good initial stability, low loosening rate and high satisfaction degree. However, the number of cases of this study was relatively smal, the folow-up time was short, and only the short-term effect was evaluated. Thus, the midterm and long-term effects need to be observed by the folow-up evaluation.

Objective To explore surgical treatment through posterior approach to reduce the fracture and dislocation complicated with longitudinal ligaments and intervertebral disc rupture in the thoracic or lumbar spine. Methods Eighteen cases suffered from the fracture and dislocation complicated with longitudinal ligaments and intervertebral disc rupture in the thoracic or lumbar spine between January 2001 and May 2004, retrospectively were reviewed all the patients are male, aged from 19 to 58 years old (average 38 years). All the patients are paraplegia. The involved vertebrae are T11 to L 3. All the lateral X-ray films showed the fractured vertebra taking on wedged shape. The posterior vertebral body-height was decreased in six patients. The fractured vertebra lost its height by 1/4 to 3/4 of normal height. The upper vertebral dislocation extent was from 25% to 100%. Two cases complicated with lateral displacement. All the patients were operated on within posttraumatic 10 days. One of the two posterior surgical techniques was used for a given patient: 1) One technique is implantation of pedicle-screws in upper and lower vertebrae just adjacent to fractured vertebra. 2) Another technique is implantation of pedicle-screws both in fractured vertebra and its adjacent upper and lower vertebrae. Results All the patients were followed up 3 months to 3 years (average 18 months). 8 cases were treated with two-vertebrae 4 pedicle-screws implantation technique, the height of fractured vertebral body was not improved in 5 cases, partially improved in 3 cases. The dislocation of the upper vertebra adjacent to fractured vertebra was partially improved in 6 case, not changed in 1 case, got worse in 1 case. 10 cases were treated with three-vertebrae 6 pedicle-screws implantation technique, the height of fractured vertebral body was all improved by 80% to 100%. The dislocation of the upper vertebra was corrected completely in all the ten cases. Conclusion The procedure of three-vertebrae 6 pedicle-screws implantation is practical, effective and useful for treatment of the fracture and dislocation comlicated with longitudinal ligaments and intervertebral disc rupture in the thoracic or lumbar spine.

Objective: To investigate the influence of repeated infiltrating on the microstucture of In-Ceram alumina substrate. Methods:6 disks of aluminum oxide with the height of 3 mm and diameter of 12 mm were perpared and infiltrated with infiltrating glass for 0～5 times for each disk respectively.The fractured surfaces of the samples were observed by scanning elctron microscope. Results:After sintering,a net -shaped porous coping of alumina was formed. The glass infiltration resulted in a dense ceramic mass. The porous coping matrix was infiltrated with low-viscosity glass in void.3-time-infiltration resulted in the best results. Conclusion: With repeated infiltrating firing,the micro-stucture of In-Ceram alumina substrate may become a dense mass.

Objective To study the physiology of sleeping in a swine model with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) reproduced by high altitude and hypoxia. Methods Twelve male minipigs were randomly assigned to 2 groups, named A and B. The pigs of Group A were placed in Room 1, which was a double-room altitude chamber, and the pressure in it was adjusted to 53.9 kPa with an oxygen concentration of 10.0%~11.2%. The pigs of Group B were kept in Room 2 with altitude of sea level and oxygen concentration of 21%. All the animals were kept in their respective rooms for 6 hours per day and for 22 consecutive days. On the 23rd day sleeping was monitored, at the same time the movements of chest and abdomen, respiratory airflow, heart rate, and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO_2) were recorded. Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI), Hypopnea Index (HI), and average SpO_2 were derived from analysis of the data of sleeping monitoring. Pigs were sacrificed after the experiment, and pharyngeal tissue was harvested for pathological examination. Results The AHI (16.1?8.3 vs 2.3?1.6), HI (4.3?3.1 vs 1.3?1.0), SpO_2 (86.7?3.6 vs 94.5?1.8) of pigs of group A showed were have significant differences compared with that of the control (P
