[Objective]To determine the efficacy and characteristics of percutaneous vertebroplasty in treating patients with vertebral osteoporosis fractures combined with intraosseous cyst.[Method]Thirteen cases of vertebral osteoporosis fractures combined with intraosseous cyst were performed with percutaneous vertebroplasty.Bone cement containing appropriate proportion allograft bone powder were injected to vertebral body according to the sererity of osteoporosis and the size of intraosseous cyst.[Result]According to standard of World Health Organization about pain,complete pain relief was in 10,partial in 2,and slight in 1 patient.One case developed bone cement leakage into the paravertebral soft tissues during operation,but there were no clinical signs and symptoms.The next vertebral body fracture was found at sixteen days after percutaneous vertebroplasty in 1 case,and percutaneous vertebroplasty was repeated to relieve his pain.This patient was followed-up for 1 year,and no refracture was observed.[Conclusion]Vertebral osteoporosis fractures combined with intraosseous cyst is a special disease in elderly population.Percutaneous vertebroplasty is effective and it shouled be the first option for treatment of patients with vertebral osteoporosis fractures combined with intraosseous cyst.The complications could be reduced by local treatment combined with anti-osteoporosis drugs and correct rehabilitation.

Objective To study the effect of premature physeal fusion of t ri radiate cartilage on hip development. Methods Ten rabbits aged 4 to 5 weeks were used by partial excision of triradiate physeal cartilage on the right hip of ea ch rabbit, and the opposite untreated hip served as control. Postoperative analy sis consisted of radiographic and histological studies. Radiographs of both hips were taken at 2 days and 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks after surgery to evaluate the dev elopment and stability of hips. All rabbits were sacrificed at 12 weeks postoper atively. The gross and microscopic histological changes of the hip joints were s ubsequently assessed. The statistic analysis was performed by paired student’s t test worked out by SPSS software. Results On the operated hips, bone bridge fo rmed 3 weeks after operation at the site of triradiate cartilage. The medial ace tabular walls became thick, and the acetabula were shallow. At 6 and 9 weeks pos toperatively, the thickness of acetabular walls increased gradually, and irregul ar sclerosis appeared on the acetabular roof. The density of femoral head increa sed in 6 of 10 rabbits. At 12 weeks postoperatively, the acetabular cavity was m ore shallow, and the femoral head appeared flat. Subluxation of hip was observed in 5 rabbits. There was significant difference in approximate acetabular index (AAI), acetabular head index (AHI) and the thickness of acetabular wall between the operated and control hips. The mean value of AAI and AHI on the operated hip s at 12 weeks significantly decreased as compared to that at 2 days. Gross inspe ction confirmed that the acetabular cavity on the operated hips was characterist ically shallow with a marked increase thickness of medial wall. The femoral head became flattened, and the cartilage of both acetabulum and femoral head were th inned. Histological study showed thinning and partial loss of the joint cartilag e layer and irregularity of cartilage cells on the operated hip joints. There we re increased amounts of fibrovascular cells deep to the cartilaginous layer. In addition, the femoral head exhibited a zone of necrosis in its superior pole wit h thinning of the epiphyseal plate. On the control hips, structure of acetabulum and femoral head appeared normal congruity. Conclusion Acetabular triradiate ca rtilage injury might result in bony bar formation and premature fusion of physis . Its main pathologic changes are widening of the acetabular medial wall, shallo wness of the acetabular cavity, and subsequent hip dysplasia and dislocation.

Objective To evaluate the long- term results of intracystic corticosteroid injection for the treatment of simple bone cysts. Methods Seventy- six children with simple bone cysts treated by intracystic injection of corticosteroid from 1985 to 1995 were followed- up for an average of 8.2 years（ 5－ 13 years） . Forty- one of the cysts were situated at the proximal end of the humerus, 20 at the proximal end of the femur and 15 at other sites. The mean injection times were 4.2(2－ 13 times). Results Forty- two(55.3％ ) cysts were healed up completely, 16(21.1％ ) basically healed up, 9(11.8％ ) healed up partially and 9(11.8％ ) failures. Satisfactory and effective rate was 76.4％ and 88.2％ respectively. Conclusion Intracystic corticosteroid injection appears to be the initial choice of treatment for simple bone cysts, because it is an effective, and non－ invasive method which can be carried out easily.

Objective To explore the relationship between the intelligence condition and the content of ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in epileptic patients.Methods We measured the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of 40 cases of epileptic patients by using the Wechsler Intellectual Scaled, and tested their CSF-GABA contents by using HPLC.At the same time, factors which might have influence on patient’s IQ were analysed.Results In the 40 cases of epileptic patients, there were 14 cases of patients with FIQ≤89, and occupied 35%.The intelligence condition of epileptic patients was positive relation with the contents of CSF-GABA, education background and patterns of seizure,but was negative relation with the patient's age. Among all factors, content of CSF-GABA was very significant relationship with VIQ, PIQ and FIQ (P

BACKGROUND: Osteolysis has always occurred in pelvis. Percutaneous injection of bone cement stabilized bone fracture, relieved pain or even treated tumor. However, leakage of bone cement might cause severe complications. OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of peroutaneous injection of bone cement on treating osteolysis pelvic disease in 9 cases by the CT guidance. METHODS: By the CT guidance, needing degree was determined firstly. Focal size and scanning layers were used to calculate focal volume and estimate injected dose of bone cement. Three-dimensional targeting device was used to introduce the puncturation. The bone cement which was 0.2-0.5 mL less than the calculated volume was injected into osteolysis site. The accuracy, injected dose, clinical efficacy, and complications were investigated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The following-up ranged from 5 months to 4 years, with mean duration of 1.5 years. At 1-48 hours after operation, symptoms were recovered, including complete recovery (n=6), partial recovery (n=2), and light recovery (n=1). Leakage of bone cement was not detected out around focal region. This suggested that percutaneous injection of bone cement into the erosion site is an effective method to treat pelvic osteolysis disease, characterizing by security, effective, and less invasive.
