Objective To analyse the relationship between lumbar discectomy outcomes and herniated type and annular integrity. Methods Two hundred and sixty patients who underwent conventional posterior discectomy for lumbar herniated disc were reviewed and followed-up for 6-14 years, with an average of 8.5 years. The criteria of enrolled patients include: all of the cases with low lumbar disc herniation at a single level, laterally protruded disc(one side sciatica) without spinal canal stenosis. Four categories of intraoperative findings were found basing on the defect size of annular and extruded fragments, and postoperative outcomes was compared statistically. Results The patients with larger disc fragments and minimal annular defects had the better outcomes and lowest incidence of recurrence after surgery. On the contrary, small fragments with massive annular defects did worse by comparison. Conclusion The outcomes of lumbar discectomy have close relationship with herniation type and annular integrity. Patients with mild clinical symptoms, small and broad-based disc herniations should be exempted from open discectomy. If open discectomy unavoidable, annular integrity and bony stability should be preserved as much as possible.

Objective To study the multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) perfusion imaging in evaluating the changes of blood supply of hepatocellular carcinoma( HCC ) before and after transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods Before and after TACE, MSCT perfusion was performed in 17 patients with HCC. The perfusion indexes such as hepatic blood flow (HBF), hepatic blood volume(HBV),mean transit time (MTT),hepatic arterial fracture (HAF),permeability surface (PS), hepatic artery perfusion (HAP), portal venous perfusion (PVP) were calculated. The hemodynamic changes of HCC after TACE were evaluated according to perfusion parameters. Results After TACE, HBF,HBV and HAP found in MTT and PS before and after TACE (P > 0.05). Conclusion The parameters of MSCT perfusion imaging( HBF, HBV and HAP) can effectively evaluate the hemodynamic changes of HCC after TACE, and has important value in chnical application.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of modified BI?RADS classification by using the coronal plane of automatic breast volume scaner. Methods The total of 201 BI?RADS 3~5 classification of breast masses were retrospectively analyzed. All masses underwent conventional ultrasound and ABVS examination. Using BI? RADS classification standard terms to describe various information of breast masses, and record the coronal image of the masses on the complete interface echo, convergence sign, angle, burr, which classified BI?RADS ultimately. Results The coronal plane of convergence sign, complete interface echo, angulation and burr were significantly different between benign and malignant tumors (P<0.0001). The sensitivity of ABVS convergent sign in diagnosing breast malignant tumors was 68.2%, specificity was 93.4% and accuracy was 82%. The conventional ultrasound combined with the coronal feature of ABVS modified by BI?RADS classification showed that 3 kinds of malignant rate reduced from 8.5%to 3.2%. The rate of malignant 4a decreased from 25.2%to 12.1%and the rate of malignant 5 increased from 94.2% to 98%. Conclusion The convergence sign of ABVS can be used as a significant independent predictor of breast malignant tumors;ultrasound combined with ABVS is helpful to improve the accuracy of ultrasound BI?RADS classification.

Objective To investigate the relationship between stent thrombosis and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in patients after coronary artery stent implantation (CASI). Methods One hundred and seventeen patients were rolled after CASI, of which 29 suffering from OSAHS were enrolled into the research group, 88 patients without OSAHS were enrolled into the control group. The incidence rate of stent thrombosis between the above two groups was analyzed. Results Three patients suffered stent thrombosis in the research group, with the incidence rate of 10.3%,which was significantly higher than that in the control group, with the incidence rate of 1.10%(P = 0.047). Conclusions After CASI, patients with OSAHS had higher risk of stent thrombosis compared with patients without OSAHS. OSHAS should be considered as a risk factor for stent thrombosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in rat cerebral cortex following traumatic brain injuries(TBI)and discuss the role of oxygen free radical-mitochondria signal pathway in Edaravone treating TBI.Methods A total of 180 male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into TBI group,Edaravone treatment group and control group.Each group was divided into six subgroups at 1,3,6,24,48 and 72 hours after TBI.Edaravone treatment group was injected with Edaravone(10 mg/kg)and the other two groups injected with the same volume of 0.9%normal saline.The pathological change in the rat cortex following TBI was observed with HE staining.At different time points,the expressions of Cytc,Bcl-2 and Bax in rat cortex as well as cell apoptosis and MDA change were observed by means of immunohistechemistry,TUNEL and TAB.Results HE staining showed scattered degenerated and necrotic neurous in cerebral cortex six hours after neuron injury,which peaked at 24 hours.Compared with control group,intermediate product MDA of free radical was increased six hours after TBI and peaked at 48 hours in Edaravone treatment group,which was lower than TBI group especially at 24,48 and 72 hours(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the immunity reaction of Cytc positive cells inereased at six hours and peaked at 24 hours in TBI group,with statistical difference at 3,6,24,48 and 72 hours(P<0.05).Compared with TBI group,the immunity reaction of Cyte positive cells was decreased obviously at 24,48 and 72 hours in Edaravone treatment group.Hyperexcitability of Bcl-2 after TBI reached peak at 3 hours and decreased gradually.But the expression of Bax was increased gradually after TBI and peaked at 48 hours,when Bax/Bcl-2 reached peak too.Folowing TBI,TUNEL positive cells increased gradually and reached peak at 48 hours,with mainly type Ⅰ TUNEL cells before 24 hours and typeⅡTUNEL cells after 24 hours.Conclusions There exist necrosis and apoptosis of nerve cells in cortex after TBI,especially apoptosis.Oxygen free radical mitochondria is one of the signal transduction pathways of nerve cell apoptosis following TBI.Edaravone exerts certain therapeutic effect on TBI.

Objective To investigate the inhibition effect of pituitary tumor transforming gene(PTTG) antisense oligodeoxynucleotide(ASODN) on C6 glioblastoma in rats.Methods The C6 glioma cells were injected into the right caudate nucleus.PTTG-ASODN of 8 or 16 ?g/ml was injected into the tumor-affected area with stereotactic technique immediately,at 1st and 2nd week after inoculation of C6 cells.Three weeks after C6 cell inoculation,all rats were killed and the tumors were excised,then tumor volume was calculated and pathologically analysed,and immunohistochemical statining for GFAP, PCNA ang PTTG was performed.Results PTTG-ASODN could suppress the proliferation of C6 glioblastoma in a dose-and time-dependent manner.The inhibition effect was better when large-dose PTTG-ASODN was repeatedly used for glioblastoma as early as possible.Conclusion PTTG-ASODN can suppress the proliferation of glioblastoma,which may become a new strategy of gene therapy for glioblastoma.
