Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of Kummell'disease.Methods Databases of Cochrane Library,PubMed,Medline,Embase,Web of Science,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Data and CBM were used to search clinical studies on percutaneous kyphoplasty virus percutaneous vertebroplasty in the treatment of Kummell's disease from database inception until June 1st,2022.Literature screening was performed according to the speci-fied inclusion and exclusion criteria.In strict compliance with Cochrane's systematic evaluation principle,authors reasonably screened,e-valuated and analyzed the quality of the retrieved papers and then the evaluating indicator of postoperative ODI,JOA,VAS,operation time and intraoperative complications in each included study was evaluated in Review Manager 5.4software.Results Nine papers were included,involving 243 patients in the percutaneous vertebroplasty group and 222 patients in the percutaneous kyphoplasty group.Percu-taneous kyphoplasty had advantages in postoperative ODI score,cement leakage,and postoperative Cobb's angle,which was statistically significant(P<0.05),but the operation time was longer and the postoperative VAS score improved poorly.There was no significant difference in intraoperative bleeding and height of the postoperative vertebral margin(P>0.05).Conclusion In the surgical treatment of Kummell's disease,percutaneous vertebral kyphoplasty can more effectively improve the postoperative ODI score,and reduce the post-operative Cobb's angle and the risk of cement leakage compared to the traditional percutaneous vertebroplasty.It has more advantages in improving the clinical efficacy and reducing the postoperative risk.However,the conclusions of this study require more high-quality,multi-angle and large-sample studies in the future.

Objective To investigate the correlation between postmenopausal estrogen levels and diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods Two hundred cases of postmenopausal type 2 diabetes admitted to the Eighth Affiliated Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University from January 2015 to January 2017 were selected as the subjects and divided into the retinopathy group (93 cases) and the normal retina group (107 cases) according to the resuhs of fundus angiography.The general data of the two groups were compared,and the blood glucose index,blood lipid index and estrogen level were measured and compared.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of the patients with retinopathy.Results (1) The disease duration of patients in the retinopathy group was longer than that in the normal retina group ((14.67 ±3.48) years vs.(10.20±2.85) years;t=9.983,P<0.05).The fasting blood glucose (FBG),glycosylated hemoglobin of patients in the retinopathy group were higher than those in the normal retina group (FBG:(8.01 ± 1.21) mmol/L vs.(6.93 ± 1.20) mmol/L,FBG:(8.32 ± 1.56) mmol/L vs.(7.39 ± 1.43) mmol/L;t =6.324,4.397,P<0.05).The total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) of patients in the retinopathy group were higher than those in the normal retina group [TC:(4.93±0.87) mmol/ Lvs.(4.23± 0.69) mmol/L,TG:(1.91 ± 0.42) mmol/L vs.(1.63 ± 0.32) mmol/L,LDL-C:(2.61 ± 0.90) mmol/L vs.(1.78±0.53) mmol/L;t =6.340,5.340,8.067,P<0.05],while high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) was lower than that in the normal retina group ((1.23±0.37) mmol/L vs.(1.76±0.45) mmol/L;t =9.014,P <0.05).The E2 level in the retinopathy group was lower than that in the normal retina group ((23.91 + 8.51) ng/L vs.(32.18 + 9.80) ng/L;t=6.325,P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of diabetes,FBG,HbAlc,TC,TG and LDL-C were risk factors of retinopathy (OR (95% CI) =1.049 (1.011 ~ 1.056),1.071(1.061 ~ 1.093),1.092(0.984~ 1.275),1.099(1.661 ~ 1.993),1.863(1.661 ~ 1.993),1.652 (1.461 ~ 1.893),P< 0.05),while HDL-C and E2 were protective factors of retinopathy (OR (95 % CI) =0.172(0.061 ~ 0.293),0.955 (0.861 ~ 1.093),P<0.0S).Conclusion Estrogen level is related to retinopathy in postmenopausal diabetic patients.It may be a protective factor for diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To elucidate activity of baicalin against human cytomegalovirus ( HCMV) in vitro, and explore its effect on apoptosis of human embryo lung fibroblasts ( HEL ) infected with HCMV. Methods CCK-8 kit was used to determine the maximum tolerated dose ( MTC ) of HEL cell to baicalin while the anti-HCMV median efficacious concentration ( EC50 ) of baicalin was determined by standard plaque reduction method. After treatment with baicalin of different concentrations for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h, cell apoptosis and pro-caspase-3 expression was detected by flow cytometry and Western blotting, respectively. Results The MTC of baicalin was 20.6 μg?mL-1; The EC50 of anti-HCMV of baicalin was 16.13 μg?mL-1;The apoptosis rate increased gradually in the groups with low and high multiplicity HCMV infection at early time, showing significant dose-dependent manner. While the ratio of apoptotic cells was going to decrease in high multiplicity infection group 96 h after the infection. The expression of pro-caspase-3 was significantly higher in high-dose baicalin treatment group than in the infection control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Baicalin has a direct anti-HCMV effect in vitro. One of the mechanisms might be related with it inhibiting cell apoptosis and antagonizing activation of pro-caspase-3.
