Aim To apply stochastic resonance algorithm (SRA) to quantitative analysis of weak chromatographic signal, which was embedded in the noise. Methods Based on the theory of stochastic resonance (SR), a simple and effective SRA has been established to improve analytical detection limits of chromatographic analysis, which apply to enhance the signal to noise ratio by the optimization of the parameters and Runge-Kutta method, was established. The method was used to quantitative analysis of phenazopyridine in human plasma by HPLC/UV. Meanwhile this method is compared with HPLC/MS.Results By experimental chromatographic data sets, an excellent quantitative relationship between concentrations of phenazopyridine and their responses had been obtained. The concentration of phenazopyridine in plasma determined by HPLC/UV with SRA and HPLC/MS showed that there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05) between the two methods. Conclusion The new method was feasible.

Aging is associated with loss of muscle (sarcopneia) and bone (osteoporosis), resulting in an impaired capacity to perform daily activities, furthermore might progress to the extent that an older person loses his or her ability to live independently. Recent studies showed that exercise had remarkable beneficial effects on the musculoskeletal system, including prevention and treatment of these syndromes. Based on the recent research achievement, this paper reviewed exercise prescription in aging sarcopenia and osteoporosis, the result revealed resistance training is the most effective measure to prevent and treat sarcopenia and osteoporosis. In addition, long periods of walking or jogging for over half a year can increase leg muscle size in older adults.

Objective To investigate the incidence of heterotopic ossification in cervical artificial disc replacement in Chinese mainland population by meta-analysis.Methods The related literatures published between 1997 and June 2012 were collected from both English databases,including Pubmed,Ovid,Cochrane library and Embase,and Chinese databases including Chinese Biomedical Literature Database,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,VIP database and Wanfang database.Literatures were selected in strict accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Studies providing data of prevalence of heterotopic ossification after cervical artificial disc replacement in Chinese mainland population were included.The information of literatures was extracted by excerpts questionnaire,and recorded by two independent researchers.I2 was calculated to test heterogeneity among studies.A random effects model was used if I2 ≥25％.Subgroup analysis was done according to the number of levels of disc replacement,brands of implants and duration of follow-up.Sensitivity analysis was done according to the sample size.The Meta-Analyst software was used for statistical analysis.Results A total of forty studies (1822 cases) were included in this study.The pooled incidence of heterotopic ossification was 7.3％ (95％CI:4.7％ to 11.0％).For single and mixed level disc replacement,the incidence was 11.6％ and 5.8％,respectively.For single and mixed level disc replacement using Bryan disc,the incidence was 13.8％ and 5.4％,respectively,and the total incidence was 7.2％.No matter the single or mixed level disc replacement,the incidence of heterotopic ossification increased with follow-up.Conclusion The incidence of heterotopic ossification in cervical artificial disc replacement is high in Chinese mainland population,while it is lower than in foreigners.However,it is necessary to monitor its long-term incidence due to its increase with follow-up.

Objective The aim of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes and improvement of clivo-axial angle (CAA) during the posterior approach surgery of upper cervical anomaly instability patients.Methods All of 32 patients with symptomatic upper cervical anomaly instability were followed up from 2004 Apr.to 2014 Aug.in which 1 patient was excluded because of reoperation.There were 10 patients with OS odontiodeum,5 with odontoid deformity,4 with Klipple-Feil syndrome,4 with atlantoaxial dislocation,4 with atlantoaxial instability,1 with rheumatoid arthritis,1 with old odontoid fracture,1 with OS odontoideum and foramen magnum stenosis,1 with basilarinvagination and Klipple-Feil syndrome.They were all performed posterior reduction internal fixation and fusion,and then released spinal cord compression with the promotion of CAA.The patients were divided into two groups on the basis of decompression or not:non-decompression group 17 cases (male 8 cases,female 9 cases;age 13-65 years old,average 50.1 years old) and decompression group 14 cases (male 7 cases,female 7 cases;age 19-68 years old,average 49.6 years old).The CAA numbers were measured and compared.The clinic date was compared between preoperatively and postoperatively,which included Neck Disability Index and Nurick Classification System for Myelopathy.Results All patients were followed up,the follow-up time of non-decompression group was 0.7-10.7 years,average 2.9 years;the follow-up time of compression group was 0.3-5.5 years,average 2.9 years.Analysis of CAA,NDI and Nurick score were performed with t-test.The postoperative CAA,NDI and Nurick score improved significantly compared to preoperative ones.There was no difference between non-decompression group and decompression group.One patient felt nausea and vomited,one got soleal vein thrombosis,one had a swelling face and blurring vision and one had decompression syndrome after operation,all of these were improved using respectively therapy.No such serious complications as injury to vertebral artery,infection or internal fixation loosening occurred.Conclusion Neck ability and spinal cord function was significantly improved through increasing CAA for the upper cervical anomaly instability patients underwent posterior reduction internal fixation and fusion.

Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and technical superiority of mechanical thrombectomy using a direct aspiration first-pass thrombectomy (ADAPT) in treatment of patients with acute cerebral artery occlusion. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on all patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy in our institution from January 2013 to August 2016.Patients using ADAPT or stent retriever as a first-line endovascular procedure were compared for clinical characteristics, procedural variables and clinical outcomes. The technical superiority of ADAPT was analyzed in depth. Results During observation period, a total of 91 cases were performed endovascular treatment with mechanical thrombectomy. ADAPT was designed in 46 cases as a first-line endovascular procedure and was utilized in 38 cases (82.6%;ADAPT group), while primary stent retriever thrombectomy was performed in 21 patients(stent group). There was no significant difference in baseline clinical or radiographic factors between ADAPT and stent groups. Although rates of good neurological outcome (modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score≤2) at 90 days were similar between the ADAPT and stent groups (61%(23/38) vs 48%(10/21), P=0.247), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at seven days (6.0(2.0, 9.3) vs 9.0(5.5, 18.5),Z=-2.031,P=0.021) and full recovery rate of neurological outcome (mRS score=0, 37%(14/38) vs 10%(2/21), P=0.022) were significantly better in the ADAPT group than in the stent group. There were no significant differences in rates of embolus to new territory (21%(8/38) vs 29%(6/21), P=0.365), Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction (TICI) 2b/3 grade revascularization (84%(32/38) vs 81%(17/21), P=0.507) and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (0%(0/38) vs 10%(2/21), P=0.123) between the ADAPT and the stent groups, but the figures were better in the ADAPT group. Conclusions Mechanical thrombectomy using ADAPT is feasible and safe compared with stent retriever, with higher full recovery rate of neurological outcome and better NIHSS score.It is a method worthy of further exploration for endovascular mechanical recanalization.
