Objective: To study the clinical role of the variation of serum matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) concentration in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: ELISA method was adopted to detect serum MMP-8 concentration and to observe concentration's differences and features among 80 selected ACS cases (43 acute myocardial infarction and 37 unstable angina pectoris), 43 stable angina pectoris (SAP) cases and 37 control cases. And meanwhile the atherosclerosis risk factors of each case, such as age, sex, hypertension, body mass index, smoking, family history, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia were collected and analyzed as a whole. Results: First, serum MMP-8 concentration reached the highest point in ACS, and there was significant difference between SAP and control groups (P<0.01). Second, serum MMP-8 in AMI was much higher than that in UAP with significant difference (P<0.01). There was no difference between UAP and SAP groups (P>0.05). Third, Logistic regression analysis revealed that serum MMP-8 concentration might be the indicator of ACS (B=4.493, P=0.000), particularly, that of AMI (B=9.961, P=0.000). Fourth, linear correlation and linear regression analysis found that only neutrophil was likely to influence serum MMP-8 concentration (r=0.274, P=0.001). Fifth, in the diagnosis of ACS, the area under ROC curve of MMP-8 was 0.785, the sensitivity and specificity were 68.6% and 76.5%, respectively. Conclusion: 1 Serum MMP-8 concentration has close relationship with the occurrence of ACS, particularly with AMI; 2 Serum MMP-8 concentration may be one of the predicting indicators of ACS and particularly of AMI; 3 Neutrophil may be correlated with serum MMP-8 concentration; 4 MMP-8 is of somewhat valuable in diagnosing ACS.

Objective To test the key indexes of full-field digital mammography to keep it in good condition.Methods The testing was carried out based on clinical experiences and GBZ 186—2007 Mammography Quality Control Testing Specification.Results The testing items and indexes were proposed to facilitate the staff to check and operate the machine.Conclusion Clinical safety of full-field digital mammography and image quality are both enhanced greatly.

BACKGROUND:During cervical posterior expansive open-door laminoplasty for multisegmental cervical spondylosis, spinal canal restenosis, loss of cervical lordosis, and axial symptoms are the important factors affecting curative effects. It is very necessary to maintain spinal canal expanded state and to reduce interference of the posterior cervical structure in the clinical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical outcomes and short-term fol ow-up effect of posterior expansive open-door laminoplasty via titanium miniplate in treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. METHODS:A total of 67 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent posterior expansive open-door laminoplasty at the Zhongshan Hospital, Xiamen University from April 2006 to April 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Titanium miniplate group (n=27) received titanium miniplate fixation. Suture group (n=40) received traditional suture suspension. Al patients had decompression ranged from C 3-7 . Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, improvement rate of Japanese Orthopedic Association score during fol ow-up, value of cervical curvature, axial symptoms, and lamina opened angle were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No significant difference in operation time, intraoperative blood loss and improvement rate of Japanese Orthopedic Association score was detectable between two groups (P>0.05). Cervical curvature changes in both groups:loss of cervical curvature at 6 months postoperation was not significant in the titanium miniplate group, but cervical curvature partial y lost in the suture group, and significant differences in the cervical curvature were detected between the two groups (P<0.05). The incidence of axial symptoms was significantly lower in the titanium miniplate group than in the suture group at 6 months after surgery (P<0.05). During final fol ow-up, no significant difference in the lamina open-angle was detected between titanium miniplate group (35.2±6.2)° and suture group (34.0±4.7)° (P>0.05). These data suggested that posterior expansive open-door laminoplasty for treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy using both titanium miniplate and suture methods can obtain good clinical outcomes. However, titanium miniplate fixation can relieve postoperative axial symptoms and prevent loss of cervical curvature.

[Objective]To evaluate the therapeutic effect of treating AO type C fracture of the distal radius with open reduction LCP plate internal fixation.[Method]From Jan.2004 to Jan.2007,37 cases of AO type C fractures of the distal radius were treated with LCP plate internal fixation.All cases were fixated through volar approach,the length of radius,waist joint angle were recovered,screwed the plate,the exposure of dorsal soft tissues could be obtained by internal-rotate radius,allo-bone graft,and aoto-bone graft was necessary for the case with bone defect.Passive wrist motion,active finger motion and forearm rotation were encouraged immediately after surgery.Active wrist motion was suggested seven days postoperatively.[Result]The 37 cases were followed up for 8 to 21 months,with an average time of 11 months.X-ray pictures showed that one-stage union was achieved in the patients,with a mean healing time of eight weeks.No such complications were found as infection,non-union,loosing of nails,carpal tunnel syndrome or medium neuritis.Their clinical outcomes were evaluated according to modified McBride grading system.Twenty-five were rated as being excellent,eight as good and four as fair,with their good-excellent rate as being 89.18%.[Conclusion]Treatment of type C distal radius fracture with LCP plate internal fixation has many advantages,such satisfactory reduction,rigid fixation,and excellent function.

Objective To evaluate the effect and feasibility of one-stage hemivertebra excision and internal fixation in treating congenital spinal deformities caused chiefly by hemivertebra through a single posterior procedure. Methods 11 cases with congenital spinal deformities caused chiefly by hemivertebra were treated by one-stage hemivertebra excision and internal fixation through a single posterior procedure between October 1998 and June 2003. There were 5 boys and 6 girls with an average age of 15.4 years (range, 2.5 to 23 years). The location of hemivertebra was at thoracic region in 4 cases, thoracolumbar region in 4 cases, and lumbar region in 3 cases. Of these cases, there were 7 cases with a fully segmented hemivertebrae, 2 cases with multiple hemivertebra, and 2 cases associated with contralateral bar or rib fusion. The average Cobb's angle of scoliosis was 60.5? preoperatively, and 3 cases were associated with kyphosis with the Cobb's angle 13?, 27? and 48? respectively. The average trunk shift was 21.2 mm(range, 4 to 36.7 mm). Internal fixations, which were used for the correction of the deformities, included TSRH in 6 cases, CD in 2 cases, China Great wall in 2 cases, and SYNERGY in 1 case. Results The follow-up ranged from 8 months to 4 years and 8 months with an average of 1 years and 10 months. The average fused vertebra was 8.4 segments (range, 2 to 11 segments). The postoperative average Cobb's angle of scoliosis was 18.7?(range, 0? to 24?), and the Cobb's angle of kyphosis was -11?, -8? and 0? respectively. The mean improvement rate was 69.1%. The average trunk shift was improved to 6.2 mm (range, 0 to 16.3 mm). There was no significant correction loss of the scoliosis, kyphosis and the trunk shift at final follow-up evaluation. The intraoperative complications included laminar and pedicle fractures in 2 cases, 1 case had exudates of incision and instability after surgery. There was no other complication happened during follow-up. Conclusion The effect of one-stage posterior hemivertebra excision and internal fixation through a single posterior procedure was satisfactory and reliable in the treatment of congenital spinal deformities caused chiefly by hemivertebra.
