When the patients with senile or secondary osteoporosis are treated with screw fixation, the screws are likely to get loose or pulled out. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) can enhance screw fixation strength to some extent in clinic, but PMMA has such disadvantages as irresorbability, polymeric heating effect and toxic reaction so that its clinical application is limited. Calcium phosphate cement, however, has drawn much attention because it gets rid of the shortcomings of PMMA. This article introduces recent progress made in research on fixation with calcium phosphate cement enhancing screw.

Objective:To study the clinical significance of serum glypican-3 in patients with hepatocellar carcinoma who underwent interventional therapy.Methods:Serum levls of glypican-3 were detected with ELISA in patients with hepatocellar carcinoma,cirrhosis and normal people.Results:Serum levels of glypican-3 in patients with hepatocellar carcinoma(52 cases)were significantly higher than those with cirrhosis(16 cases)or healthy group(30 cases)(P

Objective:To study the fear extent toward root canal therapy (RCT).Methods: A survey with questionnaires was conducted in 103 adult patients who had received RCT.Results:44.7% of the subjects reported a decrease in fearfulness to endodontic procedures as the result of having experienced RCT.Local anesthetic injection,file introducing into or working in root canals and tapping on a sore tooth were ranked as 6th,5th,7th for the fear.Only 50.4% of the patients would choose RCT again for teeth preserving treatment.Conclusion:The fear extent toward RCT depends on the steps of the procedure.Local anesthetic injection,file introducing into or working in root canals and tapping on a sore tooth may be the most factors for anxiety in patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of magnetic stimulation on astrocyte migration and its mech-anism. Methods Twenty-four adult, healthy Spragne-Dawley rats were injected with 0.5 μl of 1% ethidium bro-mide (EB) in the left side of the dorsal spinal cord funiculus at the T_(10-11) level to make a local spinal cord injury mod-el. They were then randomly divided into four groups and exposed to 30 pulses of magnetic stimulation at 1 Hz and the following intensities: O T (Group A);1.9x40% T (Group B); 1.9x80% T (Group C); 1.9x100% T (Group D). On the 14th day after stimulation, the rats were sacrificed and the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), microtubule associated protein-2 (MAP-2) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2) were detected, and the volume of holes in the injured area of the spinal cord was measured. Quantitative analysis of the GFAP, MAP-2 and ERK1/2 expression was performed using immunohistochemistry and an image anal-ysis system. Results The volume of holes in the injured area of the spinal cord decreased with increasing stimula tion intensity. In the reduced area of the holes, the expression of GFAP and ERK 1/2 could be seen, but not MAP-2. Significant differences were revealed in the expression of GFAP and ERK 1/2 among the four groups, but it was always significantly higher in the magnetic stimulation groups than in the controls. Conclusions After magnetic stimulation, astrocytes migrate into the injured spinal cord's holes. Astroeyte migration increases with increased mag-netic stimulation intensity, which may be associated with high expression of ERK 1/2.

Objective:To investigate the effects of U0126 of different doses on the ability of low frequency magnetic stimulation promoting astrocyte migration and to select suitable dose of U0126.Method:Twenty-four adult healthy SD rats were selected to receive Injection of 0.5ml of 1% ethidium bromide(EB) in PBS into the dorsal spinal cord funiculus on the left side at T10-11 level to make located spinal cord injury models and randomly divided into four groups.The four groups were exposed to magnetic stimulation(1Hz,1.52T.30pulses)at the following dose respectively:Omg/kg U0126(control group).0.1mg/kg U0126(low-dose group), 0.2mg/kg U0126(middle-dose group),0.4mg/kg U0126(high-dose group).On the day 14 after stimulation,the rats were sacrificed and the expressions of glial fibfillary acidic protein(GFAP),microtubule associated protein-2(MAP-2),extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2(ERg1/2)and the volume of holes were detected with immunohistochemistry.Quantitative analysis 0f the expressions of GFAP,MAP-2 and ERK1/2 were performed with the image analysis system.Result:With the increase of U0126 dose,the volume of hole increased on day 14(p<0.05).In the lesion area,the expressions of GFAP and ERK1/2 could be found,while MAP-2 could not.Significant differences were revealed in the expressions of GFAP、ERK1/2 among the four groups,it Was significantly lower in U0126 groups than that in control greup(P<0.05).while the middle-dose group had similar effect with the high-dose group(P>0.05).Conclusion:U0126 of different doses all could resupinate astrocyte migrations which were coused by low frequency magnetic stimulation,and 0.2mg/kg was the suitable dose.

Objective To assess the left ventricular contraction asynchrony in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) by velocity vector imaging(VVI).Methods Sixty AMI patients and 40 healthy volunteers were included.Using VVI,the time to peak longitudinal systolic velocity (TL-V) was measured in the left ventricular long axis views,the time to peak radial systolic velocity (TR-V) was measured in parasternal short axis views.The deviation of the earliest and the latest TL-V and TR-V (Ts max-min) was measured,and the standard deviation of TL-V and TR-V (TS-SD) was also measured.Results ①TL-V ,TR-V of the infarcted and non-infarcted segments in patients with acute myocardial infarction were longer than those of the normal segments (P ＜0.05).②The longitudinal Tsmax-min,Ts-SD and the radial Tsmax-min,Ts-SD in infarcted patients were increased compared with the healthy volunteers (P ＜0.001).③Ts of the infarcted segments was increased in turn from the class Ⅰ to class Ⅳ of the cardiac function (P ＜0.001).Conclusions VVI could be used to assess the left ventricular contraction asynchrony in patients with AMI.VVI is a new useful method to determine the infarcted segments.

Objective To get genetic information of VP 1 coding region of HEV 71 in Beijing in 2008.Methods Enteroviruses were isolated from samples of throat swabs collected from 33 HFMD patients within 3 days after onset by rhabdomyosarcoma(RD) cells and identified by RT-PCR method with specific primers to human enteroviruses,then VP 1 coding region was amplified and sequenced by Sanger dideoxy.Bioedit 7.0.5 and MEGA3.1 were used for the nucleotide sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis.Results 16 virus strains were isolated from 33 samples,of which 14 strains were identified as HEV 71 and 2 were CVA 16,and 1 was co-infected with CVA 16 and HEV 71.Sequence analysis of VP 1 nucleotide sequences of 10 HEV 71 isolates showed that homologous analysis of nucleotide identity amino acid 95.5%～100% and 98.9%～100% respectively;representative strains of Fuyang in 2008,nucleotide identity was 95.4%～99.1%;with representative strain of C 4 nucleotide identity was over 92%.Phylogenetic analysis of HEV 71 strains for the nucleotide sequence of VP 1 coding region clarified that the HEV 71 isolates in Beijing belonged to C 4a cluster of C 4 sub-genotype and 10 strains formed four relatively separated clusters.Conclusions The HEV 71 viruses isolated from children of HFMD in Beijing belonged to C 4 sub-genotype,and C4a cluster which was the predominant in China since 2004.According to phylogenetic analysis,HEV 71 which belonged to more than 4 different clusters were circulating in Beijing in 2008.More virological suggestion for disease control and prevention,and information of HEV 71 molecular epidemiology need to be collected urgently due to the successive large epidemic of HEV 71 in China.

Objective To study the application of doses of remifentail intravenous anesthesia in vocal nodule extirpation.Methods Sixty ASAⅠ～Ⅱpatients with vocal nodule were selected and randomly divided into three groups. Group F were given anesthetic induction with fentanil and maintenance with isoflurane; Group L were given anesthetic induction and maintenance with remifentail at the dose of 0.5?g/(kg?min); Group H were given anesthetic induction and maintenance with remifentail at the dose of 1?g/(kg?min).The anesthetic induction time,blood flow dynamics during maintenance phase,recovery time and quality were recorded. Results (1)Anesthesia produce less circulatory fluctuation in group H than in group F and L.(2) Group L and H were faster than group F on recovery profile including the time of response to verbal commands,autonomous breathing,tracheal extubation and discharging from operating room. The OAA/S score was higher in group L and H than in group F 5 min after intubation. There were no significant differences between group L and H. Conclusions Remifentanil intravenous anesthesia can achieve better recovery profile from anesthesia than fentanyl in vocal nodule extirpation. 1?g/(kg?min) remifentanil can inhibit the stress responses to tracheal intubation and laryngoscope inserted effectively with a stable circulatory function.
