Objective To investigate the clinical characteristic, surgical stage, operative approach, resection and stability reconstruction of dumbbell intra-extradural tumor of cervical spine. Methods From January 1999 to December 2005, 37 consecutive cases with cervical dumbbell intra-extradural tumor were retrospectively studied. 18 males and 19 females ranged from 18 to 80 years old were involved in this study, including 25 schwannomas, 3 neurofibromas, 5 multi-neurofibromas and 4 malignant schwannomas. According to tumor location and involved range, all tumors were divided into five stages: 8 cases in Ⅰ stage, 9 cases in Ⅱstage, 13 cases in Ⅲ stage, 5 cases in Ⅳ stage and 2 cases in Ⅴ stage. Resection and reconstruction were performed at 20 patients through posterior-lateral approach, 17 patients through anterior-lateral combined with posterior-lateral approach. Lateral mass screw internal fixation system were used in 26 cases, while anterior combined posterior fixation were performed in 5 cases and none fixation in 6 cases. Results The follow-up period was from 3 months to 7 years. 1 case developed a transient weakening of upper limb, 1 case developed anesthesia in posterior neck, and 1 case developed Horner's sign. Vertebral artery ligation was performed in 1 case because of vertebral artery injury. 2 cases with malignant schwannoma occurred local recurrence in 1-2 years postoperation and received second operation. The recent effects after operation were satisfactory in majority cases,with complete recovery of spinal cord function in 19 cases. 2 cases without fixation appeared recuration deformity in cervical spine in 1-2 years postoperation. Conclusion The surgical approach and operative methods must be selected according to the location, surgical staging, characters of tumors. Stability reconstruction plays important roles in maintaining stability of cervical spine. More care should be taken in procedure for protecting vertebral artery, cervical nerve and spinal cord.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of neonatal asplenia syndrome to improve the understanding of the disorder. Methods Newborns with neonatal asplenia syndrome admitted to the neonatal department of our Hospital from June 2008 to July 2015 were recruited and their gender, birth weight, gestational age, clinical manifestations, imaging features, laboratory examinations, treatments and prognosis were analyzed. Results A total of 8 newborns with asplenia syndrome were studied. All the patients presented with cyanosis at birth, 5 of them with heart murmur, 3 with apical impulse in the right ( dextrocardia) thorax and complex congenital heart diseases were found in all of them by echocardiogram examinations. 2 of them were diagnosed congenital heart diseases before birth by the fetal ultrasound. 2 cases combined with congenital imperforate anus and cutaneous fistulas. 1 case was found right renal agenesis and Howell-Jolly was seen in another case. All the 8 patientsˊ parents refused medical advices about continuing treatments and left hospital. Among them, 4 patients died in the neonatal period, 2 lost in follow-up and only 2 survived, one for 19 months and the other for 4 years. Conclusions Patients with asplenia syndrome presented absence of spleen, visceral inversion, severe cardiovascular malformations and other malformations. When the cyanosis, heart murmur and abnormal position of apical impulse were found in the newborns, asplenia syndrome should be considered and imaging examinations such as chest X-ray, ultrasound, visceral angiography and more should be ordered immediately, in order to make an early diagnosis of the disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the intervertebral disc morphous in patients with thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture. Methods The MRI, X-ray and CT data of 75 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture were retrospectively analyzed. The intervertebral disc damage degree was observed, and its correlation with vertebral fracture degree and endplate damage degree was studied. The vertebral body leading edge height, intervertebral space height and back convex Cobb angle in patients with different intervertebral disc damage degree were measured. Results The intervertebral disc damage degree height was positively correlated with endplate damage degree (P<0.01), and the intervertebral disc damage degree was positively correlated with fracture degree (P<0.01). With the increase of the intervertebral disc damage degree in patients with Ⅰ - Ⅳtype intervertebral disc damage, the vertebral body leading edge height and intervertebral space height gradually became smaller: (0.68 ± 0.05), (0.61 ± 0.03), (0.58 ± 0.03), (0.42 ± 0.05) mm, and (0.31 ± 0.06), (0.29 ± 0.03), (0.24 ± 0.06), (0.22 ± 0.02) mm, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in back convex Cobb angle in patients with different intervertebral disc damage degree (P>0.05). Conclusions It is more important to observe the morphological changes of the intervertebral disc in patients with thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture, and the damage degree is closely related with the vertebral fracture degree and endplate damage degree.
