Objective This study was designed to describe the localization and the extent of lumbar disc herniations (LDH) by three-dimensional radiological classification and to investigate their potential correlation with symptom and function evaluation.Methods The study retrospectively analyzed 261 patients (284 segments of herniated discs) who were diagnosed with LDH by computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from January 2006 to April 2010.There were 162 males and 99 females,with an average age of 42.1 years old (range,14-67 years) and the mean duration of history is 14.6 months (range,1-38 months).There were 35 cases of heavy manual workers,133 cases of moderate manual workers,and 93 cases of comfortable manual workers.The data were consisted of 188 MRI and 73 CT reports.The three-dimensional radiological classification was applied to describe the localization and the extent of LDH.Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores,Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores and visual analogue scores (VAS) were applied to evaluate the vertebral symptom and function.The relationship between three-dimensional radiological classification and their functional status was probed.Results Herniations of lumbar discs located mainly sagittally at Level Ⅰ (151 segments,53.2％) and Level Ⅲ(122 segments,43.0％); horizontally at Area 2 (209 segments,73.6％)and Area 3 (61 segments,21.5％); and frontally at Area b (162 segments,57.0％),Area a (78 segments,27.5％) and Area c (41 segments,14.4％).The ODI scores at visit were 56.91％±13.62％,ranging from 20％ to 90％;JOA scores were ranging from 0 to 24 (mean,13.57±4.68); while VAS scores were ranging from 3 to 10 (mean,6.09±1.89).There was no significant difference on ODI scores,JOA scores and VAS scores between different herniation locations.Conclusion According to the three-dimensional radiological classification,most of the lumbar disc herniations located at Level Ⅰ sagittally,Area 2 horizontally,and Area b frontally.Clinical symptoms and lumbar function did not depend on the location of the lumbar disc herniations by the three-dimensional classification.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and differential diagnotic values of DSA features for inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver(IPL). Methods An retrospectively comparative analysis of 12 hepatic inflammatory pseudotumors confirmed surgicopathologically from May 2002 to March 2007 with DSA features and correlative imaging data were carried out. Results 10 cases consisted of only 1 lesion and other 2 cases with multiple lesions were opacified initially at the late arterial phase,with prominent peripheral ring-like staining at portovenous and parenchymal phases and less dense opacification in the central region; furthermore heterogenous staining occurred in 5 cases. Conclusions DSA is probable the most appropriate method for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hepatic inflammatory pesudotumor.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to define whether growth hormone therapy would reduce the course of postoperative fatigue (POF) in aged patients (60～80 years old) with nutritional support. Methods: Forty aged patients who underwent partial gastrectomy or other operations were randomized into two groups. All patients were treated with the same nutritional support formula.A group of patients was treated with rhGH for 7 day from the third day after operation, and control group treated with placebo.The score of POF, nitrogen balance, transferrin level and body weight were monitored. Results: Score of POF in rhGH group on day 7 and 14 after operation was lower than that in control group(P0.05). Conclusions: Aged patients with rhGH after major operation can recover more rapidly from POF.

Objectives To compare the co-infection statues of HSV, HBV and HCV in patients with STD and HIV infection for providing evidence of developing prevention and control strategies. Methods Serum samples confirmed to be infected with HIV/AIDS by Western blot, and serum samples of patients with STDs (syphilis, gonorrhoea and chlamydial infection) were tested for HSV2-IgG, HSV2-IgM, HBsAg and HCV-IgG by ELISA. The detection levels were compared between the two groups. Results Out of 76 specimens in STD group, HSV2-IgG was detected in 24 specimens (31.58%), HSV2-IgM in one specimen (1.32%), HBsAg positive in 8 (10.53%), and HCV antibody positive in 4 (1.32%). In 14 specimens of HIV/AIDS group, HSV2-IgG were detected in 7 (50.00%); HSV2-IgM in 5 (35.71%);8 (578.14%) were positive for HBsAg and 3 (21.43%) for HCV. In a total of 90 specimens, both HSV and HBV were detected in 6 specimens, both HSV-IgM and HBV in 2, and the four above-mentioned antibodies in 2. The infection rates of HSV, HBV and HCV were significantly higher in HIV-infected specimens than those in the STD specimens (P

Objective To determine the solubility and apparent oil/ water partition coefficient of sitafloxacin in different solvents. Methods High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used. The column was Dikma Diamonsil C18 (2) (4. 6 mmí250 mm,5 μm). The mobile phase was 0. 05 mol·L-1 KH2 PO4 solution (pH was adjusted with H3 PO4 to 2. 4)-acetonitrile (7030). The column temperature was set at room temperature. The flow rate was 1. 0 mL·min-1 . The detection wavelength was 295 nm and the injection volume was 10 μL. The solubility of sitafloxacin and the apparent oil/ water partition coefficient at pH 2. 0,4. 3,5. 8,6. 6,7. 4,8. 0,10. 0 and 11. 2 were determined. Results The equilibrium solubility of sitafloxacin in water was 0. 44 mg·mL-1 and the apparent oil/ water partition coefficient was 0. 23 (lgP= -0. 64) at (37±2) ℃ . Sitafloxacin has the lowest equilibrium solubility (0. 13 mg·mL-1 ) and the highest apparent oil/ water partition coefficient in pH7. 4 buffer solution system. At pH>10 and pH<5. 8,the solubility of sitafloxacin increased obviously and apparent oil/ water partition coefficient decreased. Conclusion Sitafloxacin is insoluble in water and also poorly soluble in oil,but its solubility could be improved significantly in acidic or alkaline solution.

Objective To explore the reliability and validity of the simplified Chinese version of the Oswestry disability index (SCODI) and the curative effect of community-based rehabilitation for patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods 165 patients with LDH received community-based rehabilitation according to the severity of their LDH. Before treatment and after 3 months, the SCODI, the Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the effects. The reliability and validity of the SCODI was thus tested. The reliability analysis included internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's coefficient,and test-retest reliability as measured by an interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The validity analysis used Spearman's correlation coefficient (for concurrent efficacy validity) and factor analysis (for construct validity). The correlation between SCODI, RMDQ and VAS results was analyzed. Results There was statistically significant functional improvement and better QOL in LDH patients after community-based rehabilitation. The SCODI showed good validity and reliability. There was significant correlation among the SCODI, RMDQ and VAS results. Conclusion Community-based rehabilitation can significantly alleviate symptoms for patients with LDH and improve their QOL.The SCODI is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the curative effect of community-based rehabilitation on patients with LDH.
