China Medical Equipment 2017;14(1):67-70
Objective:To investigate the value of magnetic resonance imaging, CT and X ray radiography on preoperative diagnosis of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture and post-operation follow up of percutaneous kyphoplasty.Methods: A retrospectively analysis was adopted for 41 patients of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture, who were detected by X ray, MRI examination and CT analyze, respectively. And the values of 3 methods for preoperative diagnosis of osteoporotic vertebral fractures and X-ray in postoperative follow-up were analyzed. Results: For preoperative diagnosis of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, the accuracy rate of MRI, X-ray and CT were 100%(41/41), 65.85%(27/41) and 92.85%(13/14), respectively. Both of the accuracy rates of MRI and CT were higher than X-ray, and the differences were statistical significant (x2=16.882,x2=3.837;P<0.05); the difference of accuracy rate between MRI and CT was not significant (x2=2.983,P>0.05). After the third day of post-operative and during last follow up, anterior vertebral height and middle vertebral height were significantly higher than before operation (F=17.094,F=15.526,P<0.05); and the Cobb angle and the VAS score of lumbar back pain were lower than before operation, the difference was statistical significant (F=41.085,F=107.338;P<0.05).Conclusion: For preoperative diagnosis of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, the accuracy rate of MRI is the highest and X-ray is lowest. X-ray can be used to evaluate surgery effect during postoperative follow-up.

China Pharmacist 2015;(11):1911-1913
Objective:To investigate the impact of butylphthalide on homocysteine, CRP and nerve function in the patients with a-cute progressive cerebral infarction. Methods:Totally 122 cases of patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into the observation group (n=60) and the control group (n=62). The control group was treated with the routine treatment, and the ob-servation group was treated with butylphthalide additionally. The treatment course was two weeks. The total effective rate, blood Hcy, the level of plasma CRP and the changes of neurological function deficits scale in both groups before and after the treatment were ob-served and compared. Results:The overall response rate in the observation group (81. 67%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (64. 52%). After the treatment, the blood Hcy and CRP in both groups were significantly lower than that before the treatment(P<0. 05), and that of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0. 05). The neuro-logical function deficits scale in both groups were significantly lower than that before the treatment(P<0. 05), and that of the observa-tion group was significantly lower than that of the control group at the same period. The two groups during the treatment showed no sig-nificant adverse reactions. Conclusion: The effect of butylphthalide in the patients with acute cerebral infarction is effective, which can reduce blood Hcy, the level of plasma CRP and the neurological function deficits scale, and improve the neurological function with-out obvious adverse reactions during the treatment course.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of using middle-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (MLSEP) to predict the prognosis in patients with acute severe stroke. Methods MLSEP, shortlatency somatosensory evoked potentials (SLSEP), and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) were recorded in 70 acute severe supratentorial stroke patients within 1 week after onset. All patients were evaluated with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and follow-up in 6 months after onset. SLSEP and MLSEP were recorded in 20 normal controls. The consistency between MLSEP, SLSEP, GCS and prognosis, as well as the prognostic authenticity of MLSEP, SLSEP, and GCS were analyzed. Results Bilateral N20, N35, and N60 exited in all normal controls. Some waves of MLSEP were absent in stroke patients, and the proportion of absent waves in ipsilateral MLSEP was higher than in contralateral MLSEP. The consistency between bilateral absence of N60 and unfavorable outcome ( Kappa = 0.828, P < 0.01 ), and between bilateral absence of N60 and death ( Kappa = 0.686, P < 0.01 ) was satisfactory. By using the prognostic authenticity analysis of predictors, the ipsilateral absence of N60 showed the highest sensitivity ( 100% ) for unfavorable outcome and death, which added 14.3% compared with the sensitivity of ipsilateral absence of N20 ( 85.7% ). Bilateral absence of N60 showed a high specificity of 100% for unfavorable outcome, which equaled bilateral absence of N20.However, it showed a lower specificity ( 82.9% ) for death, than bilateral absence of N20 (97.1% ).Conclusions MLSEP was able to reflect the degree of brain injury and showed higher sensitivity than SLSEP for predicting unfavorable outcomes. Therefore combined use of MLSEP and SLSEP in evaluating and predicting the outcomes in brain injuries is suggested.

With the development of aging population,the rational drug use in old people was paid more attention nowadays. So far, a number of studies in Europe, Asia and North America showed that lots of prescriptions with potential irrational drug use could be found out using STOPP & START criteria. In China, there is no systematic tool for guiding the rational drug use in old people yet, therefore, we can learn the content of STOPP&START criteria and use them for reference to promote the rational drug use in Chinese old people and lay the foundation for establishing rational drug use judgment criteria suitable for Chinese old people.

Bacterial extracellular metalloproteases ( BEMPs) are a large group of metal ion-contai-ning proteases. All BEMPs identified so far are endopeptidase or endoprotease. BEMPs can be classified into nine metalloprotease families based on the sequences and structures of enzymatic molecules. Double-valence zinc ion ( Zn2+) is necessarily required by catalytic centers of most BEMPs. The main function of BEMPs in non-pathogenic heterotrophic bacteria is to hydrolyze environmental proteins and polypeptides to provide vari-ous amino acids as nutrients. However, BEMPs of pathogenic bacteria, serving as important virulence fac-tors, help the pathogens invade into hosts and spread in hosts. In recent years, the roles and mechanism of BEMPs in bacterial pathogenesis have attracted great attention. Here, we make a brief review about the structures and types as well as the functions and pathogenic roles of BEMPs.
