Objective To evaluate the clinical application of contrast-enhanced digital subtraction MRI in vertebral metastases.Methods 50 patients with vertebral metastases were scanned by contrast-enhanced T_1WI with an injection of Gd-DTPA(0.1 mmol/kg).Digital subtraction were performed between post-contrast-enhanced images and pre-contrast-enhanced images.Vertebral metastases were evaluated by means of a contrast to noise ratio(CNR) and signal to noise ratio(SNR),and boundaries were compared between subtraction MRI images and conventional contrast T_1WI MR images.Results Contrast-enhanced digital subtraction MRI images were better than conventional contrast T_1WI MR images in showing the lesions. All lesions had a higher CNR and SNR on subtraction MR imaging than that on conventional contrast T_1WI MR images.CNR was 155.05 ? 24.73(mean ? standard error) for subtraction MR imaging and11.11?14.26 for conventional contrast T_1WI MR images,(t=35.65,P

Objective To evaluate the value of double stapling technique with curved cutter stapler in colorectal anastomosis,especially in low colorectal anastomosis. Methods The clinical data of 168 cases of rectal carcinomas treated with double stapling technique with curved cutter stapler were retrospectively reviewed.The intraoperative condition,postoperative complications and findings during follow up were analysed. Results During the operations,the processes of closure and anastomosis of all the patients were satisfactory,and no operative death occurred.After the operations,4 cases(2.4%) had anastomotic leakage,3 cases(1.8%) had anastomotic bleeding,and 2 cases(1.2%) had rectovaginal fistula.All the complications were cured.There was no anastomotic stricture. Conclusion Double stapling technique with curved cutter stapler may help to accomplish low colorectal anastomosis which is a difficult task for handed suture.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical effects of interlocking intramedullary nail and micro-invasive internal fixation with plate for the treatment of multiple segmental tibiofibular fractures.
METHODSThe clinical data of 39 patients with multiple segmental tibiofibular fractures received treatment from January 2010 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. In the 39 patients, 18 cases were treated by the interlocking intramedullary nail (intramedullary nail group), there were 12 males and 6 females with the mean age of (40.6 ± 9.7) years old (ranged, 24 to 60 years);7 cases were type C2.1, 11 were type C2.2 according to the AO classification. The other 21 cases were treated by micro-invasive internal fixation with plate(plate group), there were 13 males and 8 females with the mean age of (41.7 ± 8.1) years old (ranged, 22 to 52 years), 7 cases were type C2.1, 13 were type C2.2, 1 was type C2.3. Preoperative preparation time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, fracture healing time were compared between two groups. Johner-Wruhs evaluation criteria was used to evaluate the clinical effect at last follow-up.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up from 10 to 28 months with an average of 15.2 months. Operative time, intraoperative blood loss in intramedullary nail group were (62.1 ± 5.8) min, (70.9 ± 7.1) ml, respectively; in plate group were (64.3 ± 7.7) min, (74.1 ± 8.5) ml,respectively. There was no significant difference in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between two groups (P > 0.05). However, preoperative preparation time, fracture healing time in intramedullary nail group were (5.3 ± 0.7) days, (11.1 ± 1.9) months, in plate group were (7.1 ± 0.8) days, (14.1 ± 2.2) months, respectively. No postoperative complications were found in intramedullary nail group, and five cases developed with complications in plate group. There was significant difference in preoperative preparation time, postoperative complications and fracture healing time between two groups (P < 0.05). According to Johner-Wruhs criteria at last follow-up, 11 cases got excellent results, 4 good, 3 fair in intramedullary nail group; 11 excellent, 5 good, 2 poor in plate group.
CONCLUSIONInterlocking intramedullary nail has advantages of shorter preoperative preparation time, less postoperative complications and faster fracture healing time in treating multiple segmental tibiofibular fractures. But the application scope of interlocking intramedullary nail was inferior to micro-invasive internal fixation with plate , and its indications should be strictly controlled.

This study aimed to design a pair of primers for amplifying internal transcribed spacer 2 region which was used to identify Gastrodia elata through optimizing of DNA extraction and PCR amplification process. Two sequences are used for research object by amplification of universal primers. Design three pairs of specific primers by Primer Premier 5.0 and select the highest specificity through the study of 22 samples. The results showed that identification efficiency of the primer named TM2F-2R is as high as 90.9% when Annealing Temperature is equal to 54 degrees Celsius. Therefore, TM2F-2R can be used as primers ITS2 sequences of G. elata, this article provides a set of accu-rate and stable identification methods for G. elata in the molecular identification.
