Objective To study the prevention of gentamicin ototoxicity by resveratrol(Res) in guinea pigs.Methods Auditory brainstem response and cochlear preparation transmission electron microscope were used to evaluate the effects of hair cell on hearing threshold and morphology of hair cell. Serum levels of GM were also tested. It was comprised of five groups,each group had eight animals.GM and Res were tested alone and in combination,besides control group.Results GM group developed a progressive threshold shift. Injury in high frequency was significantly more severe than that in low frequency (P

ObjectiveTo determine whether the Chinese version of 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) can be taken as an effective assessment to evaluate the quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods30 patients with knee osteoarthritis were tested twice in 3 d with the Chinese version SF-36 by two standard-trained testers. The Cronbach's α coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were investigated. ResultsThe ICC of total scores and parts scores in the Chinese version SF-36 were 0.54～0.91, while the Cronbach's α coefficients were 0.70～0.95. ConclusionThe Chinese version SF-36 is reliable in evaluating the quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Objective To observe the effect of musky suppository in treating bleeding internal hemorrhoids. Methods The effects of 162 cases of bleeding internal hemorrhoids were observed. Results The time to take effect was 5 to 72 hours, average (22 ± 16.4)hours. After 7 days treatment, symptom improvement rate was as follows: bleeding 92.59%, erosion 87.80%, pain 91.80% , pruritus 75.93%, prolapsed 81.44%, swell 84. 35%. Conclusion Chinese medicine musky suppository is the primary choice for bleeding internal hemorrhoids, with apparent improvement for bleeding symptom, showing advantage of quick hemostasis, little side effect and safety.

Objective To study the biomechanics of posterior lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral fixation.Methods 15 bovine lumbers were divided into three groups(intact group,spondylolisthesis group,posterior lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral fixation group as experimental group).Nondestructive tests were performed in pure compression,flexion,extension,and lateral bending on every group.Results Compared with intact group and spondylolisthesis group,after posterior lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral fixation,the mean straining of vertebral body in experimental group increased.The value of experimental group had significant difference from spondylolisthesis group(P ＜ 0.01,P ＜0.05).And the value of experimental group was proximal to intact group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion After operation with posterior lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral fixation,the stiffness of vertebral body was approached the intact group during axis compression,flexion,extension and lateral bending.And the initial stability was enough after operation.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and the effect of microsurgery in patients with acute spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (ASSEH). Method Five patients with ASSEH treated with microsurgery and confirmed pathologically were retrospectively analyzed. Results The main clinical presentations were root pain and palsy. The main manifestations of MRI were long-segment epidural lesion of high intensity in T1 and T2-weighted images without enhancement. With the microsurgery system, laminectomy via posterior approach and hematoma removal were successfully undergone with full recovery in all cases. Conclusions MRI assisted with the main clinical symptoms may aid preoperative diagnosis in symptomatic ASSEH. Microsurgery is an effective method for treating ASSEH. Postoperative (rather than preoperative) spinal DSA is advantageous for exclusion of spinal vascular malformation in treating ASSEH.

Objective To investigate the effect of costimulatory molecules 4-1BB/4-1BBL on T cell activation with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)patients.Methods The expression of NF-kB mRNA and p38 MAPK mRNA of T cells with 20 SLE patients and 20 normal controls before activation,after activation and blocked bv 4-1BB/4-1BBL were detected bv RT-PCR.The protein levels of p-p38 MAPK and NF-kB were detected by Western blot.Results The expression of NF-kB mRNA and p38 MAPK mRNA and the protein expression of NF-kB and p-p38 MAPK of T cell with SLE patients were higher than that of normal controls(P＜0.01).There were more expression of NF-kB mRNA,p38 MAPK mRNA,NF-kB protein and p-p38 MAPK protein of T cell with SLE patients stimulated by anti-CD3 monoantibody(P＜0.01).In anti-4-1BB monoantibody blockage group,there were decreased expression of p38 MAPK mRNA and p-p38 MAPK protein(P＜0.01).but not the decreased NF-kB mRNA and protein expression.Conclusion Costimulatory molecule 4-1BB plays a critical role in T cell activation of SLE by p38 MAPK signal pathway.

Objective To explore the influence of interbody fusion intervertebral fixation on adjacent joint degeneration in patients with lumbar diseases .Methods 56 patients with lumbar diseases who were taken interbody fusion intervertebral fixation were selected as the research subjects ,and the adjacent intervertebral joint degeneration in patients were followed up .Results 56 patients were followed up for 24-72 months,the average time was (41.2 ± 8.3)months.The new clinical symptoms were occurred in 12 cases(21.4%),including 8 cases of low back pain, 3 patients with leg pain,1 case of lumbocrural pain.Radiographic changes occurred in 9 cases(16.1%),9 cases of patients with new clinical symptoms ,including 5 cases of osteophyte formation or exacerbation ,2 cases for adjacent segment instability ( I degree of vertebral spondylolisthesis ) ,1 case of small joint hyperplasia stage spinal stenosis , 1 case of protrusion of intervertebral disc .In 9 patients with imaging performance ,internal fixation of upper adjacent segment degeneration in 7 cases,internal fixation of the adjacent segment degeneration in 2 cases.Conclusion Inter-body fusion intervertebral fixation in the treatment of lumbar diseases ,adjacent joint is prone to degeneration ,so the destruction of adjacent joint operation should be reduced .

Objective To study the perioperative morbidity and mortality of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm ( TAA ) and analyze the relationship between the preoperative or intraoperative risk factors and the morbidity or mortality. MethodsTwenty-three TAA cases undergoing surgery between Jan. 1993 and Dec. 2001 were enrolled. Preoperative cardial, pulmonary, hepatic and renal function, the site and period of intraoperative aortic clamping as well as the emergency operation were taken into account to evaluate independent determinants of the perioperative morbidity and mortality. ResultsThe perioperative morbidity and mortality were 87.0% and 30.4% respectively. As to the morbidity, pulmonary, hepatorenal dysfunction and paraplegia are commonly seen in perioperative period of TAA. Acute renal failure is the most important cause of perioperative death. ConclusionsIntraoperative aortic blocking and massive blood transfusion are the independent determinants influencing perioperative adverse events significantly.

Objective To study operative morbidity and mortality of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) and analyze the correlation between the preoperative or intraoperative risk factors and the morbidity or mortality. Methods Between Jan 1993 and Dec 2001, 120 IAAA cases undergoing surgery were analyzed. Preoperative cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic and renal condition, time of intraoperative aortic clamping as well as emergent operation were taken into account to evaluate the independent determinants of operative morbidity and mortality. Results The operative morbidity was 56.7% and mortality was 10.0%, with the mortality of elective surgery of 5.4% and emergent surgery of 66.7%. Conclusion Preoperative coronary heart disease, hypertention, renal dysfunction and massive blood transfution intra- or postoperatively adversely influenced the postoperative outcome significantly.
