1. Clinical analysis of cervical posterior internal fixation titanium plate and silk suspension internal fixation cervical spondylosis
Chinese Journal of Surgery 2017;55(3):214-219
Objective:
To evaluate the clinical effect and imaging evaluation of cervical spine myelopathy treated with Centerpiece.
Methods:
A retrospective study of 60 patients underwent posterior cervical spine surgery because of cervical myelopathy in Spinal Department of Peking University People′s Hospital from July 2011 to January 2013.According to the different fixation methods, all patients were divided into cervical posterior open-door Centerpiece fixation group (group A) and cervical posterior open-door silk suspension fixation group (group B). There were 40 patients in group A, including 25 males and 15 females, mean age (59.7±11.9) years old, average course of disease before surgery (53.6±61.5) months, average follow-up time (28.5±3.1) months after operation.There were 20 patients in group B, including 15 males and 5 females, mean age (58.3±9.6) years old, average course of disease before surgery (50.4±14.9) months, average follow-up time (28.3±1.9) months after operation.The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, preoperative and postoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA) score, the neck disability index(NDI) score, visual analog scale (VAS) score, postoperative axial pain, C5 nerve root palsy, postoperative "re-closing" and other related complications were observed.Imaging assessment projects include: before and after surgery of cervical curvature, range of motion(ROM), spinal anteroposterior diameter, spinal canal expansion rate, the whole spinal cord backward shift distance and area of the spinal canal and the opening angle.
Results:
There was no significant difference in general data between the two groups (

The treatment of migraine is categorized into acute treatment and preventive treatment,and existing guidelines for the treatment of migraine usually describe the regimens for the two treatment methods separately,while some studies in recent years have found a close relationship between the two treatment methods.With the introduction of calcito-nin gene-related peptide-antagonizing drugs,such treatment methods may transcend the traditional dividing line between the acute and preventive treatment drugs,offering the possibility of an entirely new approach for the treatment of migraine,whereby acute treatment may have prophylactic benefits and prophylactic treatment may have the effect of acute treatment.At the same time,clinicians should understand that acute and preventive treatment methods are not absolutely indepen-dent treatment modes,and they are closely associated with each other,both with the ultimate goal of better migraine man-agement.Clinicians should develop individualized treatment regimens based on the specific condition of the patient,in or-der to improve the efficacy of acute and preventive treatment methods and reduce disease burden.
