Objective To study the mechanism and difference of fractured vertebral body’ s prevertebral height recovery following different methods of reduction. Methods A L 1 compressed fracture model was produced by modified Gepstein method with wet human spinal specimens(T11-L 3); the model was reduced by hyperextension, longitudinal extension and device reduction respectively. The measured parameters including the changes of prevertebral height, the changes of anterior longitudinal ligament strain and the changes of vertebral disc’ s height; segments including upward and downward of the fractured vertebral bodies were observed. Results The prevertebral height recovery platform stage happened in all the three methods of reduction. There is no significant difference between the prevertebral heights in the maximum experimental load; the prevertebral height increased first and stayed stationary later in the hyperextension reduction procedure; in the device reduction process, the prevertebral height stayed stationary at first and dereased later. Conclusion The prevertebral heights increase is not unlimited between different reduction process of L 1 fracture, and it is limited by spinal anatomy on the late phase of reduction. Knowing these features is useful for us to treat the patients and improve the devices.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and clinical manifestations of placental abruption, and to analyze the causes of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 135584 women who delivered in Women′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2005 to December 2015. The diagnosis of placental abruption was made in 1212 cases. According to the consistency of prenatal and postnatal diagnosis, they were divided into 3 groups.(1) The diagnosis was consistent prenatally and postnatally in 715 cases(58.99%,715/1212) as the diagnosis group.(2)In 312 cases (25.74%,312/1212), the diagnosis was made after birth as the missed diagnosis group.(3)In 185 cases (15.26%,185/1212), the diagnosis was made prenatally but excluded after birth as the misdiagnosis group. The disease classification was made, and the risk factors, clinical manifestations, lab results, the time of termination and perinatal outcomes were recorded in the 3 groups. The reasons of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis were analyzed. Results (1) In the 1212 cases, the diagnosis of placental abruption was confirmed in 1027 cases, with the incidence of 0.76%(1027/135584). The rate of missed diagnosis was 30.38%(312/1027), and the rate of misdiagnosis was 0.14%(185/134557). (2) There were significant differences in the degree of placental abruption among the 3 groups (P<0.05). (3)Significant differences were found among the 3 groups regarding the ratio of hypertensive disorders, trauma, induced labor and advanced maternal age (all P<0.05). (4) There were statistically significant differences among the 3 groups regarding the incidence of vaginal bleeding, persistent abdominal pain and uterine tenderness, bloody amniotic fluid, increased uterine tension and stillbirth (all P<0.05). (5) There was no significant difference in the rate of abnormal fetal heart rate mornitoring among the 3 groups (P=0.22). The differences were statistically significant among the 3 groups when regarding the incidence of abnormal ultrasound finding and abnormal blood coagulation (P<0.01), with the highest incidence of abnormal ultrasound in the diagnosis group (68.1%) and the highest incidence of abnormal coagulation in the misdiagnosis group (24.9%). (6)There was statistically significant difference among the 3 groups when comparing the ratio of termination of pregnancy within 24 hours (P=0.01). (7) There were statistically significant differences among the 3 groups when the ratios of postpartum hemorrhage, DIC, neonatal asphyxia and perinatal death were compared (all P<0.05). The highest incidence of postpartum hemorrhage was in the diagnosis group (17.9%) and the lowest was in the misdiagnosis group (5.4%). The highest incidence of DIC was in the diagnosis group (3.9%) and the lowest was in the misdiagnosis group (0). The highest incidence of neonatal asphyxia was in the diagnosis group (30.6%) and the lowest was in the misdiagnosis group (7.6%). And for perinatal death, the highest incidence was in the diagnosis group (12.6%), the lowest was in the misdiagnosis group (2.2%). Conclusions Placental abruption could be misdiagnosed when depending on risk factors, such as trauma. And it could be missed diagnosis during the induction of labor. Uterine contraction, abnormal fetal heart rate mornitoring, abnormal ultrasound and abnormal coagulation function are important in the diagnosis of placental abruption.

Objective To decrease radiation induced toxicities especially mucostis in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma( NPC ) who underwent concurrent radiochemotherapy, the maximum tolerated dose and dose limited toxicities of capecitabine combination with cisplatin were observed. Methods From Aug 2006 to Oct 2007, 24 patients with intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) and concurrent chemotherapy with capecitabine and cisplatin for nasopharyngeal carcinoma(stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ) were enrolled in this study. There were four dose-level groups of Capecitabine[625-1250 mg/(m2 ·d) , d1-14]and fixed cisplatin dose[20 mg/(m ·d) ,d1-5) ]MRI and CT scan were used for evaluation of tumor shrinkage. Treatment related toxicities were evaluated according to the common toxicity criteria( NCI-CTC Version 3.0). Results The acute side-effects include Grade 3 or Grade 4 mucosal toxicity(lasting for at least 5 d) and Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-mucosal toxicity were evaluated. Group 625 mg/m2 and Group 825 mg/m2 had none, Group 1000 mg/m2 had 6 patients and Group 1250 mg/m2 had 3 patients for mucosal toxicity, which were the main dose-limited toxicity and relevant to the dose of capecitabine apparently( P < 0. 05 ). There was also a trend of increase by the dose level of capecitabine for other toxicities. The median follow-up time for all patients was 28. 5 months. The locoregional recurrence occurred in 2 patients and distant metastasis in 2 patients. Two-year overall survival rate and locoregional control rate were 100% and 91.7%, respectively.Complete response and partialresponse were found on MRI or CT scan in patients of 29. 2% at the end of treatment and 83. 3% after three months, respectively. Conclusions The combination regimen of capecitabine and cisplatin is safe and effective according to the preliminary result. Toxicities related to radiochemotherapy for NPC were significantly associated with the dose level of chemotherapy.

Objective To explore the protective effect of a small balloon on bifurcation lesions by applying a single stent treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions strategy. Methods Fifty patients with coronary bifurcation lesions were randomly divided into A group and B group( 25 cases for each group ). Patients in A group were treated with the pre-entry protection branch guide wire to complete the main branch balloon pre-dilation,stenting,while in B group were treated with the set aside the branches of a small balloon. The information of main branch balloon pre-dilation,stenting were recorded. The blood flow slowed down,the incidence of side branch occlusion or stent placement,and the incidence of postoperative 24 h troponin I( cTnI) levels were measured. Results Nine cases(36%)in A group occurred lower branch blood flow,which due to 4 cases(16% )with significantly narrow branch stenting,2 cases(8%)with complete occlusion. There were only 2 cases(8%)with decrease branching blood flow in B group,and the difference was significant(P=0. 041, 0. 022). The cases with higher cTnI after 24 h in A group were 11( 39%),significantly higher in group B (3(12 %);P =0. 027 ). Conclusion Compared with the traditional protection guidewire,the approach of setting aside a small balloon to protect important branch can effectively prevent important branch occlusion, branch involvement due to lower incidence of myocardial infarction.
