Journal of Clinical Surgery 2015;(2):145-146,147
Since the instability of the spine caused by trauma,tumor,tuberculosis,deformity cor-rection and other reasons requires reconstruction,many scholars have conducted a large number of thorough researches,but the treatment options for unstable cervical spine still plague the clinicians.Considering the factors of stability and safety,more and more clinicians choose cervical pedicle screw placement as the treatment for spinal instability.In this work,the most common methods and the latest technologies of cervi-cal pedicle screw placement at home and abroad are summarized and reviewed.It provides references for clinical practices and presents the significance of high-tech assisted screw placement in the future.

ObjectiveTo investigate advantage and disadvantage of different rehabilitation therapies used for cerebral palsy (CP) children complicated with epilepsy (EP).Methods140 CP children complicated with EP screened from 1402 CP cases, were analyzed for CP and EP types, MRI or CT, brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP). All cases were treated with anti-epilepsy drugs (AEDs). Different rehabilitation therapies, including electrotherapeutic modalities, acupuncture, point injection, cerebroprotein hydrolysate injection, manual therapy, functional training, Chinese herb braising therapy, and cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection were assessed.ResultsIn all 140 cases, a majority of EP types were myoclonic seizure and west syndrome, CP type was spasticity. Abnormality showed in MRI or CT (98%) and BAEP (90%). AEDs were effective for all 140 cases. Electrotherapeutic modalities, acupuncture, point injection, and cerebroprotein hydrolysate injection could make EP severely, but manual therapy, functional training, Chinese herb braising therapy, cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection had no adverse effects on EP cases.ConclusionThe principles of rehabilitation treatment for the CP children complicated with EP are taking AEDs early and in a long term, avoiding electrotherapeutic modalities, acupuncture, point injection, and cerebroprotein hydrolysate injection, using manual therapy, functional training, Chinese herb braising therapy, and cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection.

Objective To investigate the effects of ropivavaine on gamma -aminobutyric acid(GABA)-activated membrane cur-rents in isolated dorsal root ganglion(DRG) neurons of the rats with ischiadic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) and to discuss the possible analgesia mechanism of ropivacaine .Methods The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record and compare the changes of GABA receptor activation currents of acute isolated DRG neurons after 30 s of ropivacaine preperfusion in the oper-ating side and the operative opposite side of the CCI model rats and the sham-operation group .Results (1)Compared with the oper-ative opposite side ,the sham-operation group and the control group ,the thermal withdrawal latency in the operative side group of the CCI model rats was notablely shortened(P<0 .05);(2)the amplitude of GABA-activated currents with different concentration GABA(0 .1-1 000μmol/L) in the operative opposite side group of the CCI operation was significantly greater than that of the op-erative side group and the sham-opeartion group ;(3)DRG neurons after ropivacaine preperfusion (0 .1-1 000μmol /L) showed va-rying degrees of enhancement effect on the 100 μmol/L GABA-activated currents ,the enhancement amplitude in the CCI operative opposite side group was significantly greater than that in the operative side group and the sham-operation group ;(4)The dose-re-sponse curve of DRG neurons GABA (0 .1-1 000μmol/L) activated current in the operative side group of the CCI rats after ropiva-caine pre-perfusion (100 μmol/L) was shifted to the left ,the difference between two EC50 had no statistical significance (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Ropivacaine has the enhancement effect on GABA activated currents in the DRG neurons of the CCI model rats , which could be one of reasons for ropivacaine producing the anesthetic and analgesic effect .

Objective To compare the efficiencies of enteral nutrition with nasogastric tube with that of enteral nutrition with endoscopic gastrostomy tube in ICU long-term bedridden patients. Methods A total of 6 patients who were admitted in our ICU between January 2008 and September 2009 were enrolled in this study. The expected completion of daily calorie supply, completion of total volume of nutrient fluid feeding, nutrient fluid backstreaming condition, and incidence rate of tube obstruction were compared between those supported with nasogastric tube and endoscopic gastrostomy tube. Results The completion of daily calorie supply and completion of total volume of nutrient fluid feeding were significantly superior in patients who were supported with endoscopic gastrostomy tube than those with nasogastric tube (P = 0. 002 and P = 0. 008, respectively). In addition, nutrient fluid backstreaming condition and incidence rate of tube obstruction were significantly lower than with nasogastric tube (P= 0. 011 and P = 0. 021, respectively). Conclusion Enteral nutrition with endoscopic gastrostomy tube is more efficient in reaching the nutrition support target than with nasogastric tube.

Childhood malignant solid tumors exhibit a wide variety of vagueness signs and symptoms in the early stage,which are usually nonspecific,therefore the diagnosis of childhood malignant solid tumor can be challenging when the disease is in the early stage.As a result,the delay of diagnosis causes mistreatment,and which makes childhood malignant solid tumors become a leading cause of death in children.Physicians should recognize the early warning signs of childhood cancer,and a good clinical history and careful physical examination can help physicians determine whether the children have cancer and make referrals in time.Some children with possible cancers require immediate initial treatment before referral to be stabilized in order to make the referrals possible and increase the chance of receiving appropriate treatment in time and the possibility of being cured,saving more children with malignant solid tumors to the maximum extent.

Objective To study the relationship between gene polymorphism of apolipoprotein E (apolipoproteinE,ApoE)of peripheral blood and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children.Methods Collected 236 cases serum of inpatient and outpatient screening in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and healthy children between March 2011 and March 2014 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical University and Xi’an Children’s Hospital,at the age of 3~8 years old,divided into two groups:110 cases of control group and 126 cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in chil-dren.Used multiple allele-specific PCR (multi-AS PCR)to detect gene polymorphism of ApoE in each group.Results ApoE gene was polymorphic and 6 genotypes:3 homozygous (ε2/2,ε3/3,ε4/4)and 3 heterozygote (ε3/2,ε3/4,ε4/2).Theε3/2 had four bands,ε3/3,ε3/4 and 4/2 had three bands,ε2/2 andε4/4 had two bands.ε3/3 of ApoE genotype distribution in two groups was the most common,control group was 66.7%,infection group was 46.4%.Allele frequencies ofε3 and genotype frequencies ofε3/3 inMycoplasmapneumoniae infection of children were lower than those in control group (P<0.05).But allele frequencies ofε4 and genotype frequency ofε4/4 in Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection of children were increased, which were compared with those in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion There were an association between ApoE gene polymorphism and the incidence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children.Allelesε3 seems to be a protective factor and allelesε4 may contribute to the development of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection of children.
