Objective To explore the relationship between vascular lesions and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in the elderly.Methods 74 patients aged 60 years and over with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in Huanhu Hospital and 80 subjects without vertigo history in the medical examination center of the same hospital were randomly divided into the case group and the control group,respectively.The carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and plaque in the carotid artery were detected using high-resolution color duplex ultrasound for evaluating large vascular lesions.At the same time,T1WI,T2WI and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) were performed with high-field 3.0 T MRI scanner as the detection index of small vascular lesions to compare the difference in severity of lacunar infarction,leukoaraiosis and micro hemorrhage between the two groups.Both indexes were used together to compare the overall difference in the intracranial and extracranial vascular lesions between the two groups.Results Between the case group and the control group,there were significant differences in the CIMT [(0.96±0.21) mm vs.(0.84±0.26) mm,t=3.136,P<0.05],the detection rate of plaque (89.2% vs.72.5%,x2 =5.803,P<0.05),the number of lacunar infarction [(3.48± 1.67) vs.(2.34± 2.06),t=1.994,P<0.05] and the score of white matter [(4.77±2.15) vs.(3.95±2.04),t=2.430,P<0.05].There was no significant difference in the positive detection rate of the cerebral microbleeds in the case group and control group (22.9% vs.17.5%,x2=0.4264,P>0.05).Conclusions There is a relationship between the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and intracranial or extracranial vascular lesions in the elderly.Vascular factor may play an important role in the pathogenesis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.Not only the atherosclerosis of large and small arteries but also the microcirculation disturbance may be partly attributed to the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in the elderly.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of using the ratio of (Cho + Cr)/Cit derived by MRS to predict the differentiation grades of prostatic cancer and Gleason grading.Methods Five postoperative prostate specimens were spitted and layered according to the region of interest of MRS inspections.The correlation between the CC/C values of each region of interest in each layer and the Gleason scores of the corresponding pathological sections was analyzed.The optimum diagnostic cutoff value was determined by conducting the hypothesis test of the area below the ROC curve of the well and moderately differentiated groups and poorly differentiated ones on the basis of CC/C values with a Spearman test.Results A total of 90 regions with valid pathologic diagnosis were obtained,70 cancer-affected and 20 cancer-free.In MRS,a CC/C value above 0.86 was used as a criterion for defining a cancer-affected region As a result,65 cancer-affected regions and 25 cancer-free regions were identified,among which pathologic diagnosis confirmed 59 and 14,respectively.Spearman′s rank correlation analysis revealed that the CC/C values of the prostatic carcinoma had significant positive correlation with Gleason scores ( r =0.746,P =0.000).For the well and moderately differentiated groups,the hypothesis test about the cutoff value,which was obtained by calculating the area below the ROC curve,was of no statistical significance.For the poorly differentiated groups,the optimum cutoff value was defined as 0.948,and the sensitivity and specificity were 81.4% and 75.0%,respectively.It was also observed that the Gleason scores of the poorly differentiated endemic regions had positive correlation with the CC/C values ( r =0.605,P =0.000 ),suggesting that CC/C value was associated with the differentiation grade of the poorly differentiated prostatic cancer.When CC/C value was above 0.948,the poorly differentiated prostatic cancer was typically detected and Gleason score was often above 7.Conclusions CC/C values has positive correlation with Gleason scores.MRS may be used to predict the differentiation of prostate cancer.

Objective To compare the clinical curative effect of pedicle screw reduction and fix-ation via or not the injured vertebra in treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. Methods A retrospective study was performed on 27 patients with single thoracolumbar fractures admitted from March 2006 to Feb-ruary 2008. There were 12 patients treated with pedicle screw fixation (Group A) and 15 with traditional two-level fixation (Group B). Group A involved 11 males and 5 females, aged average 43 years (25-56 years); Group B included 10 males and 5 females, aged from 23 to 61 years (mean 42 years). All pa-tients had fresh fractures with intact pedicles on either unilateral or bilateral sides. With body position re-duction under anesthesia, the patients in Group B were treated with posterior routine distraction and lordo-sis restoration, while those in Group A were treated with the methods used in Group B as well as pedicle screw reduction and fixation. The kyphosis (Cobb angle) and recovery of injured vertebral height were observed. Results The mean follow-up period was 9 months (6-22 months). After operation, the op-timal Cobb angle and anterior column restoration were achieved through the ventral reduction from the in-jured vertebral body. The degree in anterior movement of injured vertebrae pre- and post-operatively was (0.089±0.036)° in Group A and (0.023±0.048)° in Group B, with statistical difference (P < 0.01). Cobb angle was (9.88±7.69)° in Group A and (5.19±3.24)° in Group B (P < 0.05). Changes of distance between the anterior- upper edge of the cephalad vertebrae to the anterior - lower edge of the caudal vertebral body was (39.3±5.2) % in Group A and (20.6±6.5)% in Group B (P < 0.05). Over distraction of the contiguous discs was also avoided efficiently. Conclusions Selective pedicle screw fixation into the injured vertebrae can help correct the kyphosis and maintain the reduction and en-hance the stiffness of the posterior short-segment instrumentation in single thoracolumbar fractures.
