Spinal sensory evoked potential(SSEP)and spinal motor evoked potential(SMEP)of the injured spinal cord of the host rats were determined on the 7th,15th,30th.60th,120th and 240th day after they received implantation of the embryonic spinal cord from the fetus of E14 rats.The motor function of the hind limbs of the host rats were also observed.The rats with simple cord injury and those with cord injury and implantation of a piece of skeletal muscle served as the controls.It was found that the locomotor function of the host rats could be recovered on the 30th day after implantation,but the latent period of both SSEP and SMEP became normal on the 240th day.At that time,the latent period of evoked potentials of the 2 control groups also recovered gradually.It is believed that embryonic spinal cord may have effects on the recovery of the locomotor function of the host rats but more sophisticated methods are imperative to clarify the interela-tionship between the host tissue and the graft.

Objective To determine the cause, prevention and management of failed spinal deformity surgery, and evaluate the indication of spinal revision. Methods Thirty-one cases of failed spinal deformity surgery were treated surgically. There were 18 males and 13 females with an average age of 14.7 years(ranged from 4 to 35 years) at the present procedures. The average number of previous surgeries for this group of patients was 1.5 times. The duration between the first surgery and revision was 13-114 months, with an average of 47.9 months. There were 16 patients with consistent back pain which became worse after movement, 5 patients with implant complication (broken, loosing, explosing), 21 patients with failure of instrumentation and deterioration of deformity, 5 patients with decreased sensory and motor function. The average preoperative angel of deformity was 75.3 degrees for scoliosis and 76 degrees for kyphosis and the flexibility was 9.8% and 25.2%, respectively. All patients underwent reconstructive surgery with segmental vertebral osteotomy and trans-pedicular fixation and fusion in one or two stages according to the location and degree of the deformity. Results The average follow-up period for this group of patients was 31.8 months in 20 cases. The postoperative correction rate for scoliosis and kyphosis was 55.2% and 67.5%, respectively. There were 4 cases (12.9%) developed temporary neural dysfunction postoperatively and were recovered within 1-3 weeks after appropriate treatment. Instrumentation failure was occurred in two cases and there was no other complication in this group. Conclusion It is might be benefit to follow the principle of spinal deformity correction, fuse with adequate bone grafting and combine with proper pedicle fixation, especially for the congenital scoliosis patients, which are the efficial methods to prevent the failure of spinal deformation surgery. The management for the patients suffered from long-time back pain, spinal pseudarthrosis or progressive aggravated deformity postoperatively should be individuated depending on the degree of deformity, flexibility of the spine and the age of patients.

Objective To describe the structure and clinical application of the single arm suspended reduction fixation device(HOIST device) for spondylolisthesis. Methods HOIST device is composed of the hauling screw, open angle screw(upholding screw), blocker, angle connective bar and blocking ring. Through the different assembly of the angle screws and the connective bar, to increase or decrease the fixation angle of the angle screw which as an upholding arm and the connective bar to meet the needs of different lumbosacral angles and hauling screw reducing distance. Twenty three patients with an average slipping rate of 25%- 50% , were treated with the device, and among them, intervertebral implantation of BAK was done in 5 patients and intervertebral fusion was performed in 18 patients. Results The mean duration of follow up was 10.3 months. Olisthy was reduced completely, clinical symptoms disappeared and there was no serious complications. Conclusion This device only required fixation of the slipped and its inferior adjacent vertebral body, and then it causes little influence to the movement of the lumbar spine. The arm of force of the reduction is short, so it is especially indicated for mild and moderate spondylolisthesis.

Objective To Introduce the principle, structure and observe the effects of clinical application of Scofix instrumentation. Methods Scofix instrumentation consists of different size of open up pedicle screws, open up pedicle hooks, connecting rods, blockers and devices of transverse connection. The open up pedicle screws can be inserted continuously or intermittently, fixed by the connecting rods in the scoliotic segments, and then distraction, compression and derotation manipulation can be performed to correct the spinal deformity. Thirty three patients were treated with this methods. The average age at surgery was 14.4 years. The mean preoperative Cobb angle in idiopathic and congenital scoliosis was 70 and 68 degrees,respectively. According to the degree of deformity and spinal flexibility, the correction was done at one setting or in stages. Results Postoperative Cobb angle and the corrective rate in 19 cases of idiopathic scoliosis were 29.4?and 59.1%, respectively while in 14 cases of congenital scoliosis the figures were 33.3?and 52.3%, respectively. No severe complications occurred. Conclusion Scofix instrumentation which is designed by the principle of CD instrumentation and in conformity with the spinal structural features of Chinese adolescence has the function of distraction, compression and derotation and can be used for internal fixation of scoliosis in different ages. Because of the high risk and the great difficulty, the thoracic pedicel screws should be used carefully, and can be replaced by pedicle hooks if necessary.

Objective To determine the effectiveness of ETCD ( endoscopic transpapillary cyst drainage) in treatmen! of pancreatic pseudocysts. Methods Twenty-six patients with pancreatic pesudocysts were selected. They are presented some indications for treatment and the pesudocyst were ranged in size from 1.5 to 15 cm. Of 23 cases 38 sessions of ETCD were performed. In two of thirty-eight cases the cyst bulges were invisible in the stomach or duodenum due to its compression. In one case ETCD was employed after percutaneous drainage of the pseudocyst, the other one was treated after combination therapy of plastic stent ing because of jaundice. Results Improvement of abdominal pain, changes in appetite, body weight and fat in stool were recorded in follow-ups of 60 ~ 850 days. There was only one asymptomatic recurrence. One case was complicated with pancreatic abscess. There was no mortality related to the procedure. Surgical intervention became necessary in three cases because of inadequate drainage or complication. Conclusion ETCD treatment of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts with ductal communication, the transpapillary pancreatic duct stenting is a safe, effective modality and should be considered as the first line therapy; on the other hand for those pancreatic pseudocyst without communication to the main pancreatic duct it is not effective.

Transplantation of embryonic spinal cord was performed with microsurgical technique in rats after they were inflicted with acute spinal cord injury.Then the favorable factors affecting the acceptance of the transplanted cord were investigated with morphological technique.It was found that among the gestation ages from EH to E20,the spinal cord taken from the rats with the gestation age of E14 showed the highest survival rate of 70.83%.None of the transplants taken from the rats with the gestation age older than E14 survived.The connective tissue attached to transplants severely interfered with their acceptance and growth.The severity of the pathological manifestations of the injured spinal cord exerted unfavorable influence on the survival and growth of the transplants too.It is believed that in order to assure the success of the transplantation,besides the attention on the technical performance of the surgery,it is essential to determine the differentiation state of the embryonic spinal cord to be transplanted.
