Objective To analyze the tendency and influential factors and relationship for behavior problem among 3 to 6 years old preschool children.Methods By a prospective study,the questionnaire survey was carried out in 551 parents of 3 to 6 years old children from kindergarten in Guangzhou,including General Situation Questionnaire,the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire(parent version) and 3-7 years old children Behavioral Style Questionnaire.The data were collected at baseline and 1 year follow-up,and were analyzed by the prospective study method.Results Baseline survey 733 valid questionnaires,551 questionnaires were followed up (follow-up rate was 75.2％),the effective questionnaires were 526 (effective rate was 95.5％).The detection rate of behavior problem reduced by age (t =1.975,P =0.049),especially in the kind problem of conduct (t =2.888,P =0.004),friendship (t =2.572,P =0.010) and prosocial behavior(t =-3.329,P =0.001).In the mean time,the degree of cutting down in girls was more obvious than in boys (t =2.359,P =0.019).The influential factors include mother'age,parental education level,structure of family and children' temperament.Children's gender and whether the only child has no significant effect on behavior problems,and the family income only affects the change of behavior problems.Conclusions The detection rate of behavior problem reduce by age and influenced by many factors.Intervention measures must be synthetically considered various related factors.

Plasma quinolone concentrations are not routinely measured in clinical practice.However,in order to optimize quinolone treatment,monitoring of plasma concentrations could sometimes be useful particularly in critically ill patients.In this study,anti-sparfloxacin antibody was obtained by immunizing rabbits with sparfloxacin conjugated with bovine serum albumin using isobutyl chloroformate method.After the assay procedure was optimized,the standard curve of sparfloxacin was established.The practical measuring range of the competitive ELISA extended from 5 ng/mL to 2 μtg/mL.The recovery rates and coefficients of variation for rat plasma,urine and tissues were 87.7-106.2％ and 4.8-15.3％,respectively.To demonstrate the potential of the ELISA,a preliminary pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution study of sparfloxacin in rats and quantitative analysis of sparfloxacin in several pharmaceuticals were performed and compared with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).The experimental data indicated that the proposed method would be a valuable tool in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for sparfloxacin.

To obtain the recombinant tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme (TACE) ectodomain and use it as a selective molecule for the screening of TACE peptide inhibitors, the cDNA coding catalytic domain (T800) and full-length ectodomain (T1300) of TACE were amplified by RTPCR, and the expression plasmids were constructed by inserting T800 and T1300 into plasmid pET28a and pET-28c respectively. The recombinant T800 and T1300 were induced by IPTG, and SDSPAGE and Western blotting analysis results revealed that T800 and T1300 were highly expressed in the form of inclusion body. After Ni2+-NTA resin affinity chromatography, the recombinant proteins were used in the screening of TACE-binding peptides from phage display peptide library respectively. After 4 rounds of biopanning, the positive phage clones were analyzed by ELISA, competitive inhibition assay and DNA sequencing. A common amino acid sequence (TRWLVYFSRPYLVAT) was found and synthesized. The synthetic peptide could inhibit the TNF-α release from LPS-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) up to 60.3 %. FACS analysis revealed that the peptide mediated the accumulation of TNF-α on the cell surface. These results demonstrate that the TACE-binding peptide is an effective antagonist of TACE.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of sacral decompression and lumbopelvic fixation for neurologically impaired patients with sacral fracture-dislocation.Methods From January 2009 to December 2013,32 patients with sacral fracture and spino-pelvic dissociation of Roy-Camille types Ⅱand Ⅲ were treated at our department.They were 21 men and 11 women,with a mean age of 34.3 years.According to Roy-Camille classification,9 patients belonged to type Ⅱand 23 to type Ⅲ;25 patients had S1 fracture-dislocation and 7 S2 fracture-dislocation.After their overall conditions were stabilized,all were treated with open reduction,sacral decompression and lumbopelvic fixation.Pre-and post-operative neurological functions were recorded by Gibbons criteria.We analyzed the correlations between the neurological recovery and (i) the extent of cauda equina deficit and (ii) the continuity of sacral roots,as well as the correlations between the functional recovery of the bladder and bowels and the above two.The reduction and fusion status were evaluated by the Mears and Velyvis radiological criteria;clinical effectiveness was evaluated by Majeed scoring system.Intra-and post-operative complications were all recorded.Results The mean follow-up time for this series was 35 months (from 25 to 47 months).The average Gibbons score improved from 4.0 to 2.7 at the follow-ups.The patients with mild cauda equina deficit or with continuity of sacral roots achieved significantly better neurological recovery than those with severe cauda equina deficit or with discontinuity of sacral roots (P ＜ 0.001).However,the functional recovery of the bladder or bowels was not significantly correlated with the extent of cauda equina deficit or with the continuity of sacral roots.Anatomical reduction was achieved in 26 patients,satisfactory reduction in 5 and unsatisfactory reduction in one,yielding a satisfaction rate of 96.9％.Bony fusion was obtained in 29 patients at 3 months,but not until at 9 months in 2 patients,and still not at 9 months in one who showed no symptoms.The Majeed scoring showed 22 excellent,6 good and 4 moderate cases,giving an excellent to good rate of 87.5％.Two patients developed deep wound infection,3 complained of the pain related to hardware prominence,and one had unilateral rod breakage.Conclusions In treatment of sacral fracture with spino-pelvic dissociation,sacral decompression and lumbopelvic fixation can lead to effective neurological recovery,restoration of lumboscacral stability and alignment,early ambulation and prevention of deformity.Complete neurological recovery is more likely in patients with incomplete cauda equina deficit or with continuity of all sacral roots.

Vertebral body augmentation for spine-related diseases has the advantages of minimally invasive surgery,obvious postoperative pain relief,and quick postoperative recovery compared with open surgery.It can quickly reconstruct spinal stability,relieve pain,and improve patients' quality of life.Intraoperative injection of bone cement into the diseased vertebral body carries the risk of bone cement leakage during the process.Knowing well the complications is helpful to the timely clinical treatment so as to avoid delays,and understanding the risk factors can facilitate targeted measures to prevent leakage during surgery.Therefore,to understand the consequences of bone cement leakage,leakage incidence rate,related risks factors and preventative measures is conducive to clinical treatment and surgery safety.The authors discuss the complications and risk factors related to bone cement leakage after vertebral body augmentation,in order to deepen the understanding of bone cement leakage,provide reference for clinical work,and improve the safety of surgery.

In order to investigate the effects of LPS on the TACE gene transcription and expression and its regulating effect on the TM-TNF secretion, in vitro studies were carried out on HL-60 cells stimulated by LPS. TACE, TNF-alpha mRNA levels were detected by Dot-Elisa and the distribution of membrane molecules determined by flow cytometry assay and indirect immunofluorescence. The results showed that: (1) TACE was detected in or on HL-60 cells and it is predominantly localized on cell surface and to a perinuclear compartment. (2) LPS induced a time dependent increasement of TNF-alpha mRNA and enhanced TNF conversion with decreasing distribution of TNF in cell surface and increasing secretion of TNF protein. Such conversion could be inhibited by TACE ODN. (3) LPS also induced time-dependently increased expression of TACE gene and activation of its function. On the other hand, TACE protein in cell lysate and on cell surface was decreased. It was suggested that TACE molecular structure might change following its mediating membrane-anchored molecular secretion.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of using gelatin sponge to reduce bone cement leakage in percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).Methods A retrospective case control study was conducted to analyze the 191 patients (191 vertebrae) with lumbar osteoporosis vertebrae compression fractures (OVCF) who were treated by PVP from October 2014 to October 2017 in Xi'an Honghui Hospital.There were 52 males and 139 females,aged 65-91 years,with an average of 75.1 years.A total of 48 patients were treated with routine PVP,and bone cement was injected directly after puncture (Group A).A total of 47 patients,49 patients and 47 patients were injected with 1/4,1/3 and 1/2 gelatin sponge before bone cement injection respectively (Group B,Group C and Group D).Postoperative routine X-ray and CT scans were used to compare the amount of bone cement injection,the leakage of bone cement,the visual analogue score (VAS),neurological symptoms and complications before and after operation.Results All patients were followed up for 1-12 months,with an average of 3.6 months.There were no significant differences in the amount of bone cement injection after operation between groups (P ＞ 0.05).There was a significant difference in the cement leakage rate among the groups after operation [Group A:42％ (20/48);Group B:40％ (19/47);Group C:14％ (7/49);Group D:13％ (6/47)] (P ＜ 0.05).The results of pairwise comparison of bone cement leakage rate were as follows:significant differences were found between Group A and Group C as well as between Group A and Group D (P ＜ 0.008 3),but no significant difference was found between Group A and Group B (P ＞ 0.008 3);significant differences were found between Group B and Group C as well as between Group B and Group D (P ＜ 0.008 3),but no significant difference was found between Group C and Group D (P ＞ 0.05).There were no significant differences in VAS among the groups (P ＞ 0.05);VAS was significantly improved after operation within each group (P ＜ 0.05).After operation,two patients had persistent lower back pain and one patient had intraspinal leakage.Wound healing was found in all patients,with no neurological symptoms.Conclusion For OVCF,use of 1/3 or 1/2 gelatin sponge in PVP can reduce bone cement leakage.

Objective To investigate the effect of graded surgical treatment according to injury classification on old thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures ( OVCFs) . Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 238 patients with old thoracolumbar OVCFs admitted to the Honghui Hospital affiliated to the College of Medicine, Xi'an Jiaotong University from February 2013 to November 2016. There were 49 males and 189 females, aged 63-78 years, with an average age of 66. 8 years. The bone density T value was ( -3. 8 ± 0. 3)SD. The injured segments were located at T7-T9 in 35 patients, T10-L2 in 171, and L3-L4 in 32. A total of 16 patients had neurological injury, including 14 with grade C and two with grade D according to the American Spinal Injury Association ( ASIA) neurological function classification. According to the patient's clinical manifestations and imaging complexity, the patients were assigned with I to V grades for individualized surgical treatment. Among them, 86 patients with grade I were treated with vertebral augmentation; 60 patients with grade II received posterior reduction and internal fixation combined with vertebral augmentation when necessary;44 patients with grade III were treated with posterior decompression and reduction and internal fixation;30 patients with grade IV received posterior osteotomy and orthopedic fusion; 18 patients with grade V were treated based on the major symptoms. The visual analogue score ( VAS ) , Oswestry dysfunction index ( ODI) , vertebral sagittal index, and the American Spinal Injury Association ( ASIA) grading before operation and at the last follow-up as well as the postoperative complications were recorded. Results All patients were followed up for 12-38 months with an average of 18. 5 months. The VAS of patients with grade I to V improved from preoperative (8. 0 ± 0. 7)points, (8. 1 ± 0. 7)points, (8. 3 ± 0.89)points,(8.1±0.7)points,(8.2±0.2)pointsto(2.1±0.8)points,(2.0±0.8)points,(2.2± 0. 8)points, (2. 3 ± 0. 8)points, (2. 2 ± 0. 8)points at the last follow-up (P<0. 05);ODI was improved from preoperative 69. 5 ± 3. 0, 70. 1 ± 2. 0, 70. 3 ± 2. 1, 69. 9 ± 1. 9, 70. 0 ± 2. 2 to 39. 8 ± 2. 2, 39. 1 ± 2. 4, 40. 1 ± 2. 1, 39. 0 ± 2. 3, 39. 5 ± 2. 3 at the last follow-up (P<0. 05);the vertebral sagittal index improved from (89. 7 ± 2. 1)％, (74. 4 ± 8. 3)％, (75. 0 ± 6. 7)％, (72. 3 ± 5. 2)％, (71. 1 ± 2. 1)％to (85.2 ±7.4)％, (84.2 ±5.5)％, (85.1 ±4.4)％, (86.2 ±3.5)％, (83.4 ±1.7)％ (P<0.05). For 16 patients with nerve injury, the ASIA grading was improved from preoperative grade C in 14 patients and grade D in two patients to grade D in four patients and grade E in 12 patients at the last follow-up. A total of 11 patients ( seven patients with grade I, one with grade II, two with grade IV, and one patient with grade V) had vertebral height loss in the later stage, but only two patients underwent secondary surgery for severe low back pain. Conclusions For obsolete thoracolumbar OVCFs, the concept of graded surgery can effectively guide the treatment strategies of these patients. Different surgical schemes for patients with different conditions can effectively alleviate the pain, restore spinal stability, correct kyphosis deformity, relieve nerve compression and promote functional recovery.
