Objective To investigate the effect of corpectomy decompression by subtotal vertebrectomy and fusion of adjacent segmental artificial disc replacement through anterior intervertenral spance (Hybrid Surgery) in the anteriorcervical spondylotic myelopathy treatment . Methods Hybrid Surgery were operated on 18 patients who suffered from anterior cervi?cal spondylotic myelopathy . Follow up of 1-50 months. Patient’s conditions were assessed according to the Japanese Associ?ation for Department of orthopedics assessment score (JOA score) before and after operation. Effects of Hybrid operation were assessed by the improvement of JOA score, Odom’s follow-up grade and cervical mobility . Results The JOA scores of all 18 operated patients were improved from 10.6 ± 1.7 before operation to 13.5 ± 2.4 after operation. And the difference is statistically significant (t=1.314, P < 0.05). Among all the operated patients, 16 were cured and 2 were effective. As to Odom’s follow up grades, 6 cases were excellent, 11 cases were good and 1 case was acceptable. The postoperative move?ment range of cervical spine (40.1° ± 8.4°) show no statistically difference compared with that in preoperation (42.6° ± 11.9°) (t=0.68, P > 0.05). Conclusion Hybrid Surgery of anterior cervical decompression and fusion can both improve the nerve function and preserve cervical mobility.

Objective To investigate the association between Cardiomyopathy associated 5 (CMYA5) polymor?phisms and schizophrenia in the Uygur Chinese population. Methods Taq-man assay was used to detect CMYA5 gene rs3828611 in 684 schizophrenia patients and 678 healthy controls from Chinese population. The positive and negative symptoms scale (PANSS) was used to evaluate patients’symptoms. Results Neither the genotype nor the allele frequen?cies of rs3828611 was significantly different between the patients and the controls (P>0.05). The differences were not sig?nificant in either each gender subgroup or in each age (teenager and adult) subgroup (P>0.05). The total score and the sub scores of PANSS were not significantly different among patients with different genotype groups (P>0.05). Conclu?sions There is no association between CMYA5 rs3828611and schizophrenia in the Uygur Chinese population.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of Akin combined Scarf osteotomies for moderate and severe hal?lux valgus. Methods Thirty-nine (58 feet) patients received Akin combined Scarf osteotomies, in which 12 patients (16 feet) with moderate hallux valgus received the single scarf osteotomy. Hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), tibial sesamoid position and American orthopedic foot and ankle society score (AOFAS) were measured and compared before and after operation respectively. Results All operations were successfully completed patients were followed up for 8-22 months. The mean operation time was (55.0±6.8) min. The amount of intraoperative bleeding was 3-20 mL with an aver?age of (11.0±5.4) mL. All patients were healed except for a delayed union of Akin on a severe hallux valgus patient. Two cas?es (2 feet) were found inflammation in surgical incision. Two cases (2 feet) were found numbness in dorsal medial side of hal?lux, which was considered nerve damage and improved in 3-5 months. There was no recurrence of hallux valgus in the peri?od of following up. After surgery, HVA (14.1°±5.3°), IMA (7.7°±3.8°) and tibial sesamoid position (2.58±0.61) were signifi?cantly decreased compared with those before operation (39.6° ± 6.8° , 18.7° ± 5.4° and 4.87 ± 0.59, P<0.05). AOFAS score (84.4±8.7) was significantly higher after surgery than that before surgery (37.3±9.5, P<0.05). Conclusion Akin combined Scarf osteotomies can achieve a excellent therapeutic effect for moderate and severe hallux valgus with very few complica?tions and recurrence, which is worth for clinical application.

Objective To investigate short?term clinical outcomes of XLIF through small incision approach combined with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for degenerative lumbar scoliosis. Methods From December 2011 to June 2013, 15 pa?tients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis were treated by XLIF combined with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (XLIF group). There were 6 males and 9 females, with an average age of 68.27±5.70 (ranging from 58 to 75) years old and Cobb angle of scoliosis 22.20°±6.66° (ranging from 14° to 35°). Meanwhile, 23 patients were treated with posterior lumber inter?body fusion (PLIF) com?bined with pedicle screw fixation (PLIF group). There were 9 males and 14 females, with an average age of 63.26 ± 6.03 (ranging from 49 to 73) years old and Cobb angle of scoliosis 23.17°±6.95° (ranging from 13° to 36°). The efficacy was assessed through cor?rection rate of Cobb angle, VAS and lumbar JOA score at the time of the latest follow?up. Results The operation time was 224.35 ± 51.53 min in the PLIF group and 197.47 ± 31.84 min in the XLIF group. No significant differences were found, but there was significantly difference in the intraoperative blood loss (PLIF group: 576.52 ± 227.89 ml, XLIF group: 181.33 ± 47.37 ml, t=-8.054, P<0.001). No patient accepted blood transfusion in the XLIF group, but in the PLIF group, 11 patients accepted blood transfusion. The Cobb angle, VAS and JOA score in two groups were improved compared with the preoperative. 38 patients were followed up for 12 to 32 months, with an average of 23 months. The correction rate of Cobb angle, VAS and JOA scores were 56.90%±11.51%, 87.97%±12.07%, 84.00%±5.59%in the XLIF group, and 62.88%±8.28%, 83.68%±12.33%, 84.79%±6.76%in the PLIF group. No significant differences were found between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Treatment of degenerative lumbar scoliosis with XLIF through small incision approach combined with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation is a kind of safe and effective minimally invasive spine surgery with small trauma and less bleeding, and the recent surgery efficacy was close to PILF.

Objective To evaluate the effect of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) using tar?get puncture and 2-stage procedures in treating lumbar disc hernia. Methods Patients present in our clinic from January 2014 to June 2014 with lumbar disc hernia who were treated with PTED were collected (n=36). Lower back and leg pain were evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS) while clinic outcome were assessed by Oswestry disability index (ODI) and modified Macnab criteria. Results All surgeries were carried out successfully. On average, operation time was(125±31)min, blood loss was(8.5±2.9)mL in each operation. The average length in hospital stay was(7.6±3.5)day. Compared with the preoper?ative VAS scores,the postoperative and last follow-up scores for lower back and leg pain decreased significantly (P<0.01). The ODI of pre-operation and last follow-up were (18.90 ± 7.78)%and (73.30 ± 18.21)%respectively with statistic differ?ence. As to the modified Macnab criteria,theexcellent and goodratio was 94.4%. One case present hyperalgesia in L4 der?matome which recovered through conservative treatment. No complications such as permanent nerve root injury ,cerebrospi?nal fluid leakage,or infection were found during or after operations. All patients are in stable conditions during follow-up pe?riod without recurrence. Conclusion PTED using target puncture and 2-stage procedures is an effective method with mini?mal trauma, less bleeding, quick recovery, high security, short hospitalization time. what′s more, it can remove protruded disc and broken nucleus from the intervertebral space. It ensure efficacy and avoid recurrence.

Objective To explore the clinical features, inducements and interventions in a case of mass hysteria. Methods A mass hysteria strook after a fight gang in a factory. Fifty-four cases were diagnosed as mass hysteria. The general information and clinical symptoms of all patients with mass hysteria were collected. All patients were assessed us-ing Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) before treatment, and at the end of one, two and four weeks of the treatment, respec-tively. Results The patients were thirty-eight females (70.4%) and sixteen males (29.6%), with average age (20.26±2.04) years old. Fifty patients showed anxious about self-safety mostly. The most common symptoms were convulsions or con-vulsive seizure in forty-seven cases (87.0%), outburst of emotion in thirty-two cases (59.3%), and episodic syncope in twenty-nine cases (53.7%). Thirty-four cases (62.96%) were disscoiative disorders mixed with conversion disorders. The scores of HAMA at the end of one, two and four weeks of the treatment were lower than that before treatment (all P<0.05). Conclusions The inducements of such an episode of mass hysteria are witness of fighting and the overwhelming anxiety about self-security. Disscoiative disorders mixed with conversion disorders is the major clinical feature. In order to control the episode of mass hysteria, the priority task is to relieve people’s anxiety.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Shen warming Pi strengthening method on expressions of serum T cell subsets (C045+%, C03+%, and C04 +/COB+) in diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-0) rats. Methods An IBS-0 rat model was established referring to AL-Chaer's modeling method combined with tail clamp and intragastric administration of sanna leaf. After modeling 30 SO rats were randomly divided into 6 groups according to random digit table, i.e., the model group, the high, middle, low dose Wenshen Jianpi Recipe (WJR) groups, and the Sishen Pill control group, 6 in each group. A normal control group consisting of 6 SO rats were also set up. Rats in high, middle, low dose WJ R groups were administered by gastrogavage with boil-free WJ R at the daily dose of 3. 100, 1. 550, 0. 775 g/kg, respectively. Rats in the Sis hen Pill control group were administered by gastrogavage with boil-free Sis hen Pill at the daily dose of 0. 736 g/kg. Equal volume of normal saline was given by gastrogavage to rats in the model group and the normal control group. All medication lasted for 2 successive weeks. Rats' general state, expressions of T cell subsets (CD45+%, CD3+%, and CD4+ /CDB+) changes were observed.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, expressions of CD45+% and CD3+% increased, but CD4+ /CDB+ decreased with statistical difference (P < 0. 05). Compared with the model group, expressions of CD45+% and CD3+% decreased, but CD4+ ICDB+ increased with statistical difference in high, middle, low dose WJR groups, and the Sis hen Pill control group (P <0. 05). Compared with the Sis hen Pill control group, there was statistical difference in all indices except CD45+ value in the low dose SWPSM group (P <0. 05). Compared with the low dose WJ R group, the expression of CD3+% decreased in high and middle dose WJR groups, and the Sis hen Pill control group; CD4+ /CD8+ increased in the Sishen Pill control group and the high dose SWPSM group (all P < 0. 05).

CONCLUSIONSWJR showed better treatment effect. The mechanism of Shen warming Pi strengthening method might be achieved by regulating expressions of CD45+% and CD3+%, and CD4+ /CD8+ ratios.
