Charcot Spinal Arthropathy (CSA) is a rare and progressive serious degenerative spinal disease. The clinical manifestations of CSA are concealed and atypical, which could lead to missed misdiagnosis, disease prognosis, and a huge burden on patients. However, there is no systematic review of CSA in China. The causes of CSA are mainly divided into spinal cord injury and non-injury neuropathy. The risk factors for CSA caused by spinal cord injury include long-segment fixation, scoliosis, laminectomy, overload spinal exercise and obesity. CSA usually occurs in the lower thoracic or lumbar spine. The symptoms of CSA include spinal deformity, unbalanced sitting posture and local pain. The CSA can be diagnosed after excluding non-specific chronic inflammation in histology and other inflammatory diseases or tumor based on the following items, damage to proprioception, pain and temperature perception, bone destruction, absorption and new bone formation on imaging. Conservative treatment can be considered for patients with CSA who have good stability without infections, stable nerve function, skin fistulas, balanced sitting posture, and autonomic dysfunction. Surgery is recommended for patients with symptoms lasting for more than 6 months with spinal instability, skin fistulas or complicated infections. Before surgery, it is recommended to evaluate the heterotopic ossification or rigidity of both hip joints. During operation, more attention should be paid to the adequate removal of necrotic tissue and inflammatory tissue in the lesion and sufficient bone grafting. Spinal fusion is recommended at the sacrum or pelvis. Postoperative complications include failure of internal fixation, new Charcot joint formation, difficulty in wound healing and infection. The authors emphasize that the overall thoracolumbar spine should be followed up for patients with spinal cord injury and paraplegia for the long-term. The typical symptoms of CSA are helpful for early diagnosis and selection of appropriate interventions.

Objective:To evalte a novel laparoscopic splenic artery ligation plus devascularization (LSALD) vs. laparoscopic splenectomy and devascularization (LSD) for the treatment of portal hypertention. Methods:From Jan 2014 to Dec 2019, 50 patients undergoing LSALD and 30 patients receiving LSD . We compared the safety and feasibility between LSALD and LSD groups by analyzing the patients′ blood routine, liver function before and after operation, intraoperative condition, postoperative recovery and prognosis.Results:The operation time[(181±72)min vs.(284±72)min , t=-6.205, P<0.01], intraoperative blood loss[(100±50)ml vs.( 700±86 ml), t=-5.166, P<0.01]and blood transfusion rate (28% vs.67%, χ 2=11.471, P<0.01)in LSALD group were significantly more favorite than those in LSD group ( P<0.05). The postoperative exhaust in the LSALD group was earlier than that in the LSD group (2 d vs.3 d, Z=2.361, P<0.05) though the WBC and blood platelet count was higher in LSD group ( P<0.05). Portal vein thrombosis occurred in 10 cases in LSD group and 6 cases in LSALD group (χ 2=5.757, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with laparoscopic splenectomy combined with periesophagogastric devascularization, laparoscopic splenic artery ligation combined with periesophagogastric devascularization is less traumatic, helping quick recovery and lower rate of post-op portal vein thrombosis.

Objective To analyze the constituent of the 32 kD protein band and its expression in schizophrenia se?rum. Methods Sixty schizophrenia patients and 58 health controls were recruited. The serum samples were collected and precipitated with 7%PEG. The sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used to ob?tain the abnormal 32 kD proteins band in patients. This protein band was cut and then analyzed using mass spectrometric technique. Results The 32 kD protein band was present in 38 schizophrenia patients but not in control and positive rate was 63.33%. The mass spectrometric analysis showed that 32 kD protein band contained 14 proteins ranging from 30 kD to 35 kD, including 6 high-frequency proteins (cDNA coded protein 1 and 2, Apolin protein A-1, Isoform 2 of ficolin-2, Complement factor H and clusterin) and 8 low-frequency proteins (IgG H chain, zinc-alphg-2-glycoprotein, fermitin,family apolin protein L-1, isoform 10 of collectin-1, purine nucleoside, anne xin and cDNA coded protein 3). Three cD?NA coded unknown proteins were highly similar to complement C4-B, β2-glycoprotein and erythrocyte band 7 integral membrane protein. Conclusion There is a unknown specific 32 kD protein that is consisted mainly of fourteen proteins in serum of schizophrenia.
