Objective To assess the radiographic and clinical outcomes of opening osteotomy supplemented with autologous anterior strut grafting and internal fixation through posterior-lateral approach in the treatment of unstable thoracolumbar fractures. MethodsFrom January 2008 through March 2010,a consecutive series of 13 thoracolumbar fractures were managed with opening osteotomy supplemented with autologous anterior strut grafting and internal fixation through posterior-lateral approach.They were 8 males and 5 females,aged from 20 to 58 years(median age,37.2 years).The fractures happened at T11 in 2 cases,at T12 in 3 cases,at L1 in 6 cases and at L2 in 2 cases.The autologous ilium was used for all the anterior strut grafts.The time from injury to surgery ranged from 21 days to 2 years (average,8 months).The mean heights of anterior and posterior borders of the vertebral body,the cobb angles and treatment-related complications were compared between preoperation and postoperation and the patients' satisfaction was assessed with the visual analogue scale(VAS).Statistical analyses were performed with the paried-sample t test. Results The patients were followed for 12 to 36 months (average,17 months).The latest follow-up radiographs were available for all patients.The mean heights of anterior and posterior borders of the vertebral body restored respectively from preoperative 21.02 ± 3.02 cm and 31.34 ± 5.18 cm to postoperative 31.88 ±3.46 cm and 33.75 ± 3.66 cm.The mean cobb angle was corrected from preoperative 28.46° ± 5.81° to postoperative 4.62° ± 3.48°.The mean VAS score decreased from preoperative 7.63 ± 0.72 to 1.39 ± 1.02 at the final follow-up.There were significant differences between preoperation and postoperation in the radiographic and clinical outcomes ( P < 0.05).No mortality or major complications occurred involving large blood vessels or abdominal viscera or internal organs. Conclusion The opening osteotomy supplemented with autologous anterior strut grafting and internal fixation through posterior-lateral approach is safe and effective for old unstable thoracolumbar fractures.

BackgroundAgitated behaviour in male patients with schizophrenia can lead to serious consequences for the individual and the society. Non-invasive drug delivery may help to rapidly control agitation and improve the overall patient satisfaction, but there are limited studies on the efficacy of olanzapine oral soluble film for the treatment of agitated behaviour in patients with schizophrenia. ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy and safety profile of olanzapine oral soluble film versus intramuscular haloperidol against agitated behaviour in male patients with schizophrenia, so as to provide a reference for the treatment of agitated behaviour. MethodsFrom May 2022 to July 2023, a consecutive sample of schizophrenic patients (n=44) with agitated behaviour who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) were recruited in the male psychiatric closed ward of the Third People's Hospital of Fuyang. Patients were assigned into two groups using the random number table method, each with 22 cases. Study group was treated with olanzapine oral soluble film 10 mg/d, while control group was given intramuscular haloperidol 8 mg/d. The severity of agitated behaviour was determined using Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-Excited Component (PANSS-EC) and Agitation Calmness Evaluation Scale (ACES) at the baseline and after 6 h of drug administration. The treatment response rate was calculated based on the reduction of PANSS-EC score, and the drug side effects were assessed using Rating Scale for Extrapyramidal Side Effects (RSESE) and Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS) after 6 h of drug administration. ResultsAfter 6 h of drug administration, no statistical difference was reported in PANSS-EC score and ACES score between two groups (F=0.039, 0.082, P>0.05), and the treatment response rate yielded no statistical difference between two groups (χ2=0.419, P=0.517), while study group reported a lower incidence rate of adverse reactions compared with control group, with statistically significant difference (P=0.031). BARS scores noted no statistical significant difference between two groups (t=0.587, P=0.561), whereas study group scored lower on RSES compared to control group, with a statistical difference (t=-7.367, P<0.01). ConclusionIn the treatment of agitation in male patients with schizophrenia, the efficacy of olanzapine oral soluble film is comparable to that of intramuscular haloperidol, while the safety profile of the former is superior to that of the latter.
