No clinical or radiographic features of instability, nervous symptoms and wound infection were found. The clinical satisfaction rate was 89.74%, the results showed that it was a good result of posterolateral entrance operation. Conclusion The posterolateral transpedicular entrance operation shows a good result in treating patients who suffered from thoracic disc herniation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between the level of plasma D-dimer(D-D) and hepatic functional reserve status in patients with hepatitis B (HB).Methods77 cases with HB were divided into two groups, hepatic function compensated group and hepatic function decompensated group.Plasma D-D, hepatic functional indexes and PT of all patients were detected.ResultsThe level of D-D in the hepatic function decompensated group was higher than that in the hepatic function compensated group(299.0 ± 498.5) μg/L vs (27.9 ± 34.0) μg/L(t =3.1, P ＜ 0.01).D-D negatively correlated with ALB and PA(r =-0.6,-0.6, all P ＜ 0.01), and positively correlated with TBIL and PT(r = 0.4,0.6, all P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionThe level of plasma D-D related with hepatic functional reserve status,and detecting the level of D-D could be helpful to estimate hepatic functional reserve and prognosis of patients with HB.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical significance of posterior spinal cord shifting after two different types of laminoplasty for multilevel cervical myelopathy.Methods From June 2004 to September 2007,65 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy were reviewed in this study,including 41 males and 24 females with an average age was 56.3 years(range,39-75).Among them,33 patients underwent selective laminoplasty and 32 patients underwent open-door laminoplasty.There were no significant differences of preoperative JOA scores and cervical curvature index between two groups.After one year follow -up,the posterior shifting of spinal cord,Japanese Orthopaedics Association (JOA) recovery rate,loss of curvature index and axial symptom for each patient were calculated.ResultsAll cases were followed up for average 34 months(range,26-47).There was significant difference of the postoperative posterior shifting between the two groups,which was(1.4±0.6) mm in selective laminoplasty group and(3.3±1.2) mm in opendoor laminoplasty group,respectively.The average JOA recovery rate was 60.5％±21.3％ and 61.1％±17.9％ in selective laminoplasty and open-door laminoplasty group,respectively.There was no significant difference of JOA recovery rate between the two groups.Loss of cervical curvature indices was 3.3％±1.7％ and 3.1％± 2.4％ in selective laminoplasty and open-door laminoplasty group,respectively,with no significant difference between the two groups.The rate of patients with evident axial symptoms was 18.2％ and 33.3％ in selective laminoplasty group and open-door laminoplasty group,and the difference of the scores of cervical axial symptom was statistically significant.ConclusionThe degree of the postoperative posterior shifting of the spinal cord in open-door laminoplasty group was greater than that in selective laminoplasty group.The posterior shifting of the spinal is correlated with cord,axial symptom but not the recovery rate and curvature index.

Based on previous results of 16S rDNA sequence homologuous and results of physic-biochemical indexes and morphological characteristics in the present work, bacterial strain ge15 isolated from roots of ginseng plants was identified as Stenotrophomonas rhizophila. Confronting incubation results showed that, strain ge15 inhibited the growth of Alternaria panax, Phytophthora cactorum, and Cylindrocapon destructans significantly, and the width of inhibition zone was 13.3, 24.0, 12.0 mm, respectively. Further results showed that the emergence rate and seedling survive rate of ge15 treatment was significantly higher than those of the control, and which was similar to pesticide carbendazol treatment. The ge15 strain has good application potential in ginseng diseases control without contamination.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cel transplantation has a certain controversy in the treatment of liver cirrhosis, and its effects on the receptor liver structure and function need further studies.
OBJECTIVE:To study the changes in liver ultrastructure, stereology parameters and liver function indexes of rat models with liver cirrhosis treated by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation.
METHODS:Rat models of liver cirrhosis were made using carbon tetrachloride and treated by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation. Liver ultrastructure of al the rats were observed by transmission electron microscope, the stereology parameters of the hepatic sinusoid were analyzed by a stereology analysis software, and the serum liver function indexes were detected by a biochemical analyzer.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The hepatic cels in the rat models exhibited acute hypoxia, lots of mitochondria were destroyed, and obvious karyopycnosis and capilarization of the hepatic sinusoid were found. The liver ultrastructure of rats undergoing cel transplantation was improved remarkably, the hepatic cel nucleus was nearly normal, mitochondrial sweling relieved notably and nuclear pore clogging lessened. (2) The number of hepatic sinusoids in the model group was reduced dramaticaly, but the total area and mean diameter of the hepatic sinusoid were enlarged significantly as compared with the cel transplantation and normal groups (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with the model group, the albumin level was significantly increased, but the levels of alanine aminotransferase and direct bilirubin were significantly decreased in the cel transplantation (P < 0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in the level of aspartate aminotransferase between the model and cel transplantation groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can improve liver function and structure of rats with liver cirrhosis and lessen pathological changes of hepatic sinusoid, so it is an effective treatment for liver cirrhosis.
