BACKGROUND:Computer-assisted navigation technique has been widely applied in spinal surgery, but there is stil lack of systematic reviews on this technique in lumbar pedicle screw fixation.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the application of computer-assisted navigation technique in lumbar pedicle screw fixation.
METHODS:Databases such as PubMed, Embase and China journal ful-text database CNKI were searched for articles about computer-assisted navigation in lumbar pedicle screw fixation, and related studies and literatures were hand-searched as wel , and then insertion accuracy, intraoperative blood loss, operative time consumption and rate of insertion-related complications between computer-assisted navigation technique group and conservative technique group were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Final y 7 studies which met the inclusion criteria were included with 784 patients and 4 101 lumbar pedicle screws in total. Meta-analysis indicated that malposition rate [relative risk (RR)=0.44, 95%confidence interval (CI):(0.27, 0.69), P=0.000 4] and intraoperative blood loss [weighted mean difference (WMD)=-172.40, 95%CI:(-246.26,-98.53), P<0.000 01] had statistical y significant differences between computer-assisted navigation technique group and conservative insertion group. However, operative time consumption [WMD=-31.45, 95%CI:(-85.56, 22.66), P=0.25] and incidence of complications [RR=0.41, 95%CI:(0.12, 1.41), P=0.16] did not show significant differences between groups. Application of computer-assisted navigation technique in lumbar pedicle screw fixation would improve insertion accuracy. However, further study is stil needed to make clear whether this technique can improve final outcome in post-operative patients.

Objective To establish osteosarcoma vaccine by the LM9 osteosarcoma derived from C3h mice hybridized with activated B lymphocytes and study its biological behavior and the antitumor efficacy. Methods The LM9 osteosarcoma derived from C3h mice was fused with LPS activated B lymphocytes by using 50%PEG. The fused cells was selected by HAT medium and cultured in vitro, and the biocharacter and efficacy of the fusion vaccine were investigated. Results In contrast to LM8, the fused cells grew significantly slowly in vitro. All the mice under the protection of fused vaccine survived without tumor (8/8), while all the mice in the control group succumbed to the tumor with no survival (8/8), 75%of the mice inoculated subcutaneously with cell fusion vaccine survived without tumor burden after implantation of LM8 cells subcutaneously. The mice in the control group developed tumors and died within 45 days without any exception. Conclusion It is possible that the LM9 osteosarcoma biology characteristics change after fused with LPS activated B lymphocytes. Cell fusion osteosarcoma vaccine could produce prophylactic and therapeutic effects in mice.

AIM: To investigate the effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on experimental osteoarthritis in rats. METHODS: Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups. Group A is normal control group. Osteoarthritic models of rats were established by intraarticular injections of papain into the right knee joints of groups B, C and D. Then the right knee joints of rats in groups C and D, respectively, received 150 ?l intraarticular injections of DHEA at a concentration of 50 ?mol?L~(-1) and 100 ?mol?L~(-1), and the right knee joints of rats in groups A and B both received 150 ?l physiological saline, twice weekly for five weeks. Six weeks later, all rats were sacrificed, and the articular cartilage was assessed by gross morphologic, histologic, biochemical and immunohistochemical methods. RESULTS: The cartilage damage in groups C and D was much less than that in group B through observation under a surgical microscope. The Mankin's score, nitric oxide (NO) in the douche of articular cavity, malondialdehyde (MDA) in synovium, the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and 9 in articular cartilage in groups C and D decreased in comparison with group B, and the foregoing indexes in group D decreased significantly compared with group C. However, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the douche of articular cavity and blood serum in groups C and D increased in comparison with group B, and the foregoing indexes in group D increased significantly compared with group C. CONCLUSIONS:DHEA shows a cartilage-protecting effect which is in a dosage-dependent manner. The mechanism probably is to inhibit the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and to decrease the release of (NO and enhance the antioxidation.

Objective To investigate the detection of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)in a hospital, evaluate the efficacy of multi-disciplinary team(MDT)on management of MDROs,and provide guidance for effective control on MDRO infection.Methods From October 2013 to September 2014,compliance to comprehensive inter-vention measures in clinical departments in different stages as well as detection of MDROs from patients were com-pared respectively.Results Compliance to comprehensive intervention measures showed an overall upward trend from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the first,second,and third quarters of 2014,difference was statistically signifi-cant (all P <0.001 ).From the fourth quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2014,the percentage of the major MDRO strains in the same species of bacteria were:methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)52.34%, 45.45%,48.95%,and 26.25% respectively;carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB)64.42%, 63.07%,59.87%,and 43.09% respectively;multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA)42.11 %, 41 .82%,29.33%,and 17.52% respectively;the detection rate of MRSA,CRAB,and MDRPA showed an overall downward trend,difference among different stages were statistically significant (all P <0.001 ).Detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)were both low (<5%),difference among different stages were not statistically significant (all P >0.05).Conclusion MDT on man-agement of MDROs is helpful for reducing the emergence and spread of MDROs.

Objective To evaluate prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence(UI)among aged women living at nursing homes in Beijing,and provide references of relative health strategy.Methods Totally 642 women aged 60 years and over were randomly selected at nursing homes from 6 districts in Beijing.A questionnaire survey was conducted using International Consultationon Incontinence Questionnaire Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Module (ICIQFLUTS) recommended by International Consultation on Incontinence (ICI).Results The prevalence rate of UI was 38.0% (244/642) among whom 38.5% (94/244) of participants knew their health conditions,7.8% (19/244) visited hospital and 6.6% (16/244) received medical or operational treatment.The proportions of respiratory disease ( 27.0 % vs.14.6%),digestive disease (23.4%vs.15.3%),urological disease(24.6%vs.8.5%),cardio-cerebralvascular disease(74.2% vs.53.5%),neurological disease ( 9.4 % vs.5.0%),obstetric disease ( 27.5% vs.10.1%),menstrual disorder (21.4%vs.14.4%),getting married before aged 21 years (51.5%vs.40.8%),being pregnant more than 4 times(50.2%vs.40.9%),the experience of both cesarean and natural birth (4.0%vs.0.8%),constipation(40.2% vs.29.4%),fecal incontinence ( 13.1% vs.4.0%),uneasy movement ( 22.5%vs.10.6%) and drinking (8.6%vs.3.5%) were higher in women with UI than in women without UI (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Eight risk factors that were entered into logistic regression model included getting married before 21 years old (OR =1.5,95 % CI:1.0-2.3,P<0.05),being pregnant more than 4 times(OR=1.7,95%CI:1.1-2.4,P<0.05),menstrual disorder(OR=1.7,95%CI:1.0-2.7,P<0.05),respiratory disease(OR=1.6,95 %CI:1.0-2.6,P<0.05),urological disease(OR=2.4,95 %CI:1.4-4.1,P< 0.01 ),cardio-cerebralvascular disease ( OR =2.0,95 % CI:1.3-3.0,P < 0.01 ),obstetric disease(OR=3.4,95%CI:2.0-5.6,P<0.01),moving uneasily(OR=2.5,95%CI:1.5-4.0,P<0.01).Conclusions UI is a common disease among women residing at nursing homes.Specific measures including intervention and clinical treatment targeting risk factors should be conducted.
