BACKGROUND:Annulus puncture method is commonly reported in the establishment of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) models, but there is a lack of comparative studies concerning complete MRI, pathologyical and extracellular matrix changes. Thereafter, a further exploration is imperative. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of establishing IDD models using annulus puncture. METHODS:Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups (n=15 per group). In experimental group, through extraperitoneal approach, the L1-2, L2-3, and L3-4 intervertebral space were exposed, and then stabbed by 16-gauge hypodermic needles;while rabbits in sham operated group were only subjected to making and incision but not to puncture. Five rabbits in each group were randomly selected for MRI examination at 4, 8 and 16 weeks after modeling, and were sacrificed through air embolism to obtain the nucleus pulposus. Histological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the level of proteoglycan was detected by Safranin O staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the experimental group, T2-weighted signal in the disc was decreased in a time-dependent manner;an obvious reduction was found at 4 weeks after modeling, and reached the peak at 16 weeks. In contrast, the sham operated group showed no significant changes at each time point. Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that in the experimental group, cartilage-like cells decreased, while fibroblast-like cells in the disc increased in number and proportion, and extracellular fibers were in disorder;all above changes became obvious at 4 weeks after surgery and the most obvious at 16 weeks, but there were no significant changes in the sham operated group. Safranin O staining revealed that the color of the tissues under puncture became lighter, and this variation became overt at 4 weeks after surgery and the most obvious at 16 weeks. In conclusion, annulus puncture is a reliable method to make IDD models.

Objective To explore the accuracy and feasibility of infrared computer navigation for femur,tibia tunnel positioning in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Methods Data of patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction using infrared computer navigation from January 2012 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 26 males and 9 females,with an average age of 26.8 years old.35 patients were with concomitant meniscal injury 21 cases,and 3 cases with medial collateral ligament injury.All patients were treated with gracilis and semitendinosus knit stitch as grafts,and bone ends were made with hydroxyapatite extrusion screws,door-shaped nails and porous plate.Results The mean follow-up time was 16 months.The rate of postoperative femoral tunnel site measurements was 63.8％±6.6％,and tibial tunnel site measurements was 45.7％±4.2％.1 patient appeared heterotopic ossification in tibia tracker pinhole 3 months after surgery,and the joint activities was normal.Lachman test:there were 1 case with Ⅱ degree,30 with Ⅲ degree,and 4 with Ⅳ degree before operation,and 33 with Ⅰ degree,1 with Ⅱ degree,1 with Ⅲ degree after operation.The KT-1000 test was from 6.47±0.75 mm preoperatively to 1.01±1.14 mm postoperatively.Preoperative knee laxity differences was more than 5 mm in 32 cases,3-5 mm in 3,and after operation they were 0-3 mm in 31,3-5 mm in 2,and less that 0 mm in 2 cases.Lysholm score and Tegner scores were from preoperative 52.74± 10.91 points and 4.64± 1.34 points to postoperative 93.97±4.13 and 6.56±0.81 points.ROM was from 85.6°± 11.2° to 118.3°±5.7°;33 cases were without flexion and extension limited; two cases had knee flexion,extension limitation less than 10°.After straight leg raising training and proprioception functional training for 6 months,the knee ROM returned to normal.Conclusion Infrared computer assisted navigation system for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is to navigate through the use of anatomical landmarks and kinematic data,kinematic data by detecting and recording the knee,selected a secure tunnel site,viable surgical method,you can make femur,tibia tunnel position more accurately,good curative effect evaluation.

Objective To probe into the current services and outcomes of township hospitals following their transformation, and their future positioning of functionality. Methods Pinpointing townships A, B and C as samples from a district in Beijing, in which field surveys were made in the township hospitals to learn their services, service provision methods and outcomes. Results Among the current services provided by these three hospitals, those of public health and primary healthcare nature in hospital A account for 50% each; those in hospital B account for 70% and 30% respectively; those in hospital C account for 60% and 40% respectively. Recommendable services provided in these hospitals include universal coverage of medical files, management of infectious diseases, public health emergency management, and immunization. Conclusion Township hospitals as the center of the 3-tier rural health service network, deserve a repositioning of their functionality to fit the health needs of residents at large.

malathion.68 days after chlopyrifos was sprayed,the decrease rate of larvae density was still 95.34%.Conclusion The efficacy and persistent activity of chlopyrifos and the mixture of Bti and Bs-10 against mosquito larvae was better than the others.To control mosquito larvae in field,the suitable larvicides and application dosages should be applied according to the environment,characteristics,the pollute condition of water body etc.

Objective To evaluate the security of intravitreal injection with ciproflaxacin to retina. Methods Tweenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 rabbits in each group. 0.1 ml ciproflaxacin in doses of 2 500, 5 000, and 10 000 ?g was intravitreally injected into the rabbits eyes, retrospectively. And 0.1 ml saline solution was injected into the vitreous body of the rats in the control group. Indirect microscope, light microscope and electroretinogram (ERG) were used to observe the changes of ocular fundus. Results Normal results of light microscopy and ultrastructure were found in 250 ?g and 500 ?g groups; irregularly arranged outer and inner nuclear layers, dropsical or even lost ganglion cells, and ultrastructural changes were in 1 000 ?g group. There was no apparent difference of ERG′s a and b amplitudes before and after intravitreal injection with ciproflaxacin in each group. Conclusion Intravitreal injection with ciproflaxacin is safe, and 500 ?g or less is the secure dosage in rabbits' eyes.

Objective:To investigate the effect of gegenqinlian on serum TNF-αlevel in rats with chronic periodontitis and athero-sclerotic.Methods:40 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group(N,n =10)and model group(D,n =30).After model establishment and identfication the rats in model group were divided into D1,D2,D3,D4 and D5 groups(n =5) and were administered with saline,metronidazole,atorvastatin,metronidazole combined with atorvastatin and gegenqinlian respec-tively for 4 weeks.Periodontal indexes(PD and AL)were measured,the maximum intima-media thickness of abdominal aorta(IMT) was pathologically examined,TNF-αlevel was detected by ELISA.Results:After treatment PD,AL and serum TNF-αlevels in D2,D3,D4 and D5 groups were significantly lower than those in D1 group(P <0.05),There was no difference of lipid and TNF-αlevels between D4 and D5 groups(P >0.05).Conclusion:Gegenqinlian can reduce serum level of TNF-αin rats,suggesting that the drug is effective in the treatment of periodontitis with atherosclerosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of nursing interventions on the quality of life after radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal cancer. Methods 56 patients with nasopharyngeal cancer who received radiotherapy were randomly divided into control group and intervention group. All the patients were given conventional nursing interventions, and those in the intervention group were given accurate evaluation, enhanced psychological guide, reasonable dietary guide, and special nursing for preventing and treating complications. All the patients were evaluated by using quality of life questionnaire core 30 items(QOL-C30). Results The scores of the dimensions of somatic function,psychological function, social function and material life after interventions in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05 ). Conclusion Nursing interventions can improve the quality of life, and the therapy can be completed smoothly.
