BACKGROUND:Restoring the stability of the spine has become the consensus of spinal surgery. The canaloplasty technology has been continuously improved, but how can we get the good clinical effect of the canaloplasty, and the price affordable, many domestic scholars have to try al kinds of the improved operation methods. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical application value of cannulated screws fixation in canaloplasty. METHODS:From February 2011 to February 2013, total y 24 patients with spinal disease treated by canaloplasty using cannulated screw were retrospectively analyzed, of which 12 cases of cervical stenosis, 2 cases of intraspinal tumor in thoracic and 10 cases of intraspinal tumor in lumbar. Al patients were fol owed up after treatment. Postoperative CT and MRI were done in al patients. Clinical symptoms and radiographic changes were observed after treatment. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and the spinal canal cross-sectional area measurement were conducted in the patients with cervical stenosis between the preoperation and postoperation. Visual analog scale score was evaluated in patients who have the tumor in the thoracolumbar spine between the preoperation and postoperation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients had no complications such as nerve or blood vessel damage. Al patients were fol owed up 12 to 24 months. Imaging evaluation showed that internal fixator was stable without the hol ow screw loss or displacement. The bone grafting in groove reached bone fusion. There was no occurrence of lamina col apse or“re-close of door”. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and spinal canal cross-sectional area of patients with cervical stenosis during the fol ow-up after 12 months of treatment were significantly superior to those in preoperation (P<0.01). After 12 months of treatment, Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores showed that the excel ent rate of classification assessment was 92%. During the fol ow-up after 12 months of treatment, the visual analog scale of patients with thoracolumbar tumor improved from (8.2±1.6) points before treatment to (2.3±1.3) points at the first year after discharge (P=0.004 2). These results suggest that the application of cannulated screws in the canaloplasty can not only enhance the stability of the rear pil ar, and can improve the healing rate of osteotomy, and has the characteristics of inexpensive, easy to operate, and repair effect is good.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the neuroprotective effect of epigallocatechin gallate ( EGCG ) for PC12 cells induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium ( MPP+ ) and activating nuclear factor-related factor 2 ( NRF2 ).Methods Well differentiated PC12 cells treated with MPP+ were used as the in vitro cell models,and PC12 cells were pretreated with different concentrations of EGCG.MTT assay was used to investigate the cell viability.Western blot was used to observe the expression of NRF2 in cells and distribution in the nucleus and the cytoplasm.Real-time PCR was used to observe the antioxidant enzymes,HO-1 and NQO1 mRNA expression.Results Pretreatment of PC12 cells with different concentrations of EG CG for an hour could restore cell viability.Western blot showed that expression of NRF2 in cells treated with MPP+ for 24 hours was increased 148% +5% compared with the control group (t =6.102,P <0.01 ).The level of NRF2 in EGCG pretreated group was 188% + 6% compared with the control group(t =11.172,P <0.01 ).Moreover the NRF2 protein level in the nuclear was also increased.Western blot showed that the NRF2 protein level in the nuclear was 258% +2% compared with the control group (t =21.995,P < 0.01 ).Further research found U 120,an inhibitor of ERK,could inhibit the effect of EGCG.The levels of NRF2 in both samples were 148% ± 15% and 158% ± 1% compared with their respective control groups(t =6.118,8.058,both P <0.01 ).In accordance with the NRF2 data,real-time PCR indicated that the levels of HO-1 and NQO1 mRNA expression increased obviously in the group pretreated with EGCG.Likewise,U120 could also inhibit HO-1 and NQO1 mRNA expression induced by EGCG.Conclusions EGCG can repair oxidative damage to PC12 cells induced by MPP+.The protective effect may be related through the ways to activate ERK-NRF2 and induce downstream of antioxidant enzyme expression,such as HO-1 and NQO1.
