BACKGROUND:To achieve the stability of the fracture reduction and try to keep the integrity of the cervical vertebra activity, domestic and foreign scholars have carried out the clinical and experimental research on the limited internal fixation of single segment, and achieved good clinical curative effect. There was no obvious discomfort symptoms caused by the instability of the atlantoaxial joint. OBJECTIVE:To perform biomechanical analysis of fixed atlas fractures by single phase with three-dimensional motion experiment. METHODS:Six fresh upper cervical spine specimens (C0-C5) were used, and made into models of double fracture of the anterior arch of the atlas. Single segment fixation was conducted with metacarpal bone reconstruction plate system simulation. Data of each specimen in intact state, fracture state and internal fixation state were measured. The neutral zones in fracture state, internal fixation state and intact state were compared, and the difference of three-dimensional motion range and intact state were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) There was statistical y significant difference between the neutral zones and range of motion with those of fracture status and intact status (al P<0.05). No significant difference was found between the result of fixation status and intact status (al P>0.05). (2) Results verify that simulation of single-segment fixation of unstable atlas fractures with metacarpal bone reconstruction plate system can obtain good stability, restore the stability of the upper cervical spine, and simultaneously ful y avoid adverse effects of fusion.

Objective:
To investigate the cause of an incident of occupational contact dermatitis in a farm in Tianjin Prefecture, so as to provide insights into occupational safety.
Methods:
The disinfection process, use of disinfectants and individual protective measures in this farm were collected, and a field epidemiological investigation was conducted to collect the demographic characteristics, history of occupational contact, clinical symptoms, diagnosis and treatment data, and onset of disease among individuals with the same type of job. The cause of this incident was analyzed.
Results:
There were ten interns exposed to potassium hydrogen sulfate compounds simultaneously in this farm, and then, nine interns developed skin flushing across the body, and swelling and itching of the skin. Among these ten interns, five individuals were admitted to hospitals because of severe symptoms and were then clinically diagnosed as systemic contact dermatitis. All five individuals were cured following treatments. Epidemiological survey showed that all cases had a definite history of occupational contact with potassium hydrogen sulfate compounds but without use of any protective agents. In addition, there were thirty-five individuals with the same type of job in this farm that developed similar symptoms when they joined in the disinfection for the first time, and these individuals were self-cured following cessation to contact; however, recurrence of symptoms was found following contacts again.
Conclusion
This is a cluster of occupational contact dermatitis caused by exposure to potassium hydrogen sulfate compound.

Objective To evaluate two kinds of anterior screw fixations in the treatment of odontoid fractures. Methods A total of 36 patients with D' Alonzo type Ⅱ odontoid process fractures were treated with anterior screw fixation in our department from 1999 to July 2009. There were 28 males and 8 females at mean age of 42.3 years (rang 17-59 years). According to time and surgery procedures, the patients were divided into Group A ( from 1999 to June 2005, n = 11 ) and Group B ( from June 2005 to July 2009, n = 25 ). Patients in Group A received anterior hollow screw fixation of the odontoid process monitored under G-arm or C-arm, while those in Group B received anterior screw fixation of the odontoid process assisted by Iso-C 3D navigation system. The operation time and blood loss in two groups were compared by Student' s t test and analyzed with SPSS 13.0 statistical software. X-ray examination was performed in all patients 3, 6 and 12 months after operation to observe fracture union and stability of the upper cervical spine. Results The operation time was ( 102 ± 12) min ( range, 77-148 min) in Group A and ( 104 ± 14) min ( range, 71-150 min) in Group B, with no statistical difference ( P =0.21 ). The blood loss was (465 ± 5) ml (range, 20-130 ml) in Group A and (42 ± 6) ml (range, 26-150 ml) inGroup B, with no statistical difference (P = 0.16). All patients received reexamination three months after operation, which showed no bony union or dislocation but average 40% restriction of neck rotation. One year after operation, 30 patients (83%) got fracture union and six ( 17% ) got fiber healing, with average 24% restriction of neck rotation. Conclusions There is no statistical significant differences between two groups in aspects of operation time, blood loss and fracture healing. But anterior screw fixation of the odontoid process assisted by Iso-C 3D navigation system can reduce exposure to radiation of both patients and surgeons. Furthermore, solid screws can be applied to augment the fixation intensity and thereby reduce the complications caused by non - union.
