The concept of far lateral lumbar disc herniation was firstly reported by Abdullah in 1974. The diagnosis of far lateral lumbar disc herniation is based on the discography findings as well as on clinical manifestations. Far lateral lumbar disc herniation is a special type of lumbar disc herniation. Clinically, far lateral lumbar disc herniation is less seen than other types of lumbar disc herniation, it accounts for 0.7%-11.7% of total lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion. Although the incidence of far lateral lumbar disc herniation is lower, its symptoms are usually heavier and its protrusion sites are specific. Its treatment methods are more complex, including mainly conservative treatment, minimally invasive interventional therapy and surgical management, etc. This paper aims to make a review about the recent progress in its corresponding treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of tirofiban hydrochloride in the treatment of coronary heart disease and its influence on homocysteine level.Methods 92 patients with coronary heart disease were selected as research subjects.They were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,46 cases in each group.The control group was treated with anti-thrombotic,nitrates and other conventional western medicine.The observation group was treated with tirofiban hydrochloride based on the conventional treatment.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.65%,which was higher than 82.61% of the control group,the difference was significant (χ2=4.039,P<0.05).And the homocysteine level in the observation group was (5.38±1.02)μmol/L,which was lower than (7.27±1.19)μmol/L in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t=8.179,P<0.01).After treatment,the cardiac function CO level[(4.96±0.98)L/min],EF level[(62.48±11.16)%]and SV level[(86.37±11.47)mL]in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t=2.271,2.954,2.911,all P<0.05).After treatment,the hs-CRP level[(4.25±1.32)mg/L]and Fib level[(3.14±0.73)g/L] in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t=7.981,3.174,all P<0.01).ConclusionTirofiban hydrochloride in the treatment of coronary heart disease can effectively contribute to the reduction of homocysteine levels and alleviate atherosclerosis lesion progression,not only can reduce severity of myocardial ischemia and fibrinogen and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels,but also can reduce the thrombosis and inflammation produced by the degree of harm to the patients.

Influenza,caused by influenza virus,is a respiratory infectious disease with a serious hazard to human health.Prevention of influenza through vaccine development is the most effective strategy.It is important to build a rapid response platform for research and production of influenza vaccine.As virus vectors,live vaccine provides a new prevention and treatment way for infectious disease.Modified vaccinia virus Ankara(MVA) is a replication-deficient viral vector that is safe and can encode one or more foreign antigens and induce humoral and cellular immune response.MVA holds great promise as a vaccine platform.In this review,we discuss the use of MVA for vaccine development against influenza virus.

Objective To observe the safety and severity of heat-sensitive moxibustion in treating poisonous snakebites-induced bladder dysfunction of different degrees.Method Twenty-six patients diagnosed with bladder dysfunction due to poisonous snakebites were examined by type-B ultrasonic scanning for residual urine volume and uroflowmetry. The patients were treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion. The residual urine volume and uroflowmetry parameters were compared between different severity degrees of bladder dysfunction before and after treatment.Result The residual urine volumes were changed significantly in the mild group and moderate group after treatment (P<0.01); the residual urine volume showed insignificant change after treatment in the severe group (P>0.05). The maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) was significantly changed in the mild group after the treatment (P<0.05); the Qmax was insignificantly changed in the moderate and severe groups after treatment (P>0.05).Conclusion Heat-sensitive moxibustion is significantly effective in treating mild-moderate bladder dysfunction due to poisonous snakebites, and it’s safe and reliable.

Glucocorticoid is an important treatment for many pediatric diseases and it often leads to osteoporosis, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and growth retardation. Among them, glucocorticoid-induced growth retardation has been a particular focus in the treatment of children patients, which leads to a decrease in final height. The mechanism of glucocorticoid-induced growth retardation is complex, and there is no safe and effective treatment.This article summarized the mechanisms underlying glucocorticoid-inhibited longitudinal bone growth and reviewed the potential therapeutic targets discovered in recent years.
