OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of arc-track private lock pedicle orthopedic fixation system Ⅱ (ALPF Ⅱ) on treatment of spinal diseases. METHODS: A total of 86 patients with spinal diseases were treated using self-made ALPF in the Wendeng Orthopaedic Hospital and were included in this study. Of these patients, 14 suffered from cervical spinal stenosis complicated by cervical vertebral destabilization, 29 from thoracolumbar fractures and dislocations, 15 from lumbar spinal stenosis complicated by lumbar vertebral destabilization, 2 from lumbar spondylolisthesis, 8 from spinal tuberculosis, 6 from ankylosing spondylitis, 9 from idiopathic scoliosis, and 3 from congenital scoliosis. According to conditions, different therapeutic regimens were selected. Postoperatively, regular follow-up was performed to observe vertebral healing, intervertebral height, spinal column sequence, and neurological function recovery. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 9-30 months (average 12 months). The improvement rate of neurological function, spinal mobility, back pain, and melosalgia was 94.1%, 65.9%, 92.1%, and 87.4%, respectively. The postoperative anterior and posterior vertebral heights were apparently recovered, and kyphotic angle was well corrected. No screw, rod loosening or breakage was found. CONCLUSION: Self-made ALPF Ⅱ is an internal fixation method for treatment of spinal diseases. It provides good reduction, reliable curative effects, less complications, and no biocompatibilities.

Objective To explore the function of 5-Aza-CdR in B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia cell line NALM-6 and its influence on the expression of microRNA (miRNA) in the cells. Methods NALM-6 was treated with different concentrations of 5-Aza-CdR. Cell proliferation was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) test, and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) mRNA expression level was detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). The expression changes of miRNA were detected by miScript miRNA PCR Array chip in cells after methylation. Results NALM-6 cell growth was inhibited by different concentrations of 5-Aza-CdR processing time, reaching to the maximum inhibitory rate was (74.163 ±0.381) %. 5-Aza-CdR affected concentrations was inversely proportional with expression level of DNMT mRNA. After 1 000 μmol/L of 5-Aza-CdR was dealed with cell 72 h, the relative expression of DNMT-1 was reduced to 0.453 ±0.021, DNMT-3L was 0.003±0.001, DNMT-3B was 0.395±0.019. MiScript miRNA PCR array sieved out 3 miRNA (miR-184, miR-23a-3p, miR-34a-5p) associated with DNA methylation. Conclusions 5-Aza-CdR down regulates the expression of DNMT gene in NALM-6 cells, and inhibits the proliferation of cells. MiR-184, miR-23a-3p and miR-34a-5p are related to DNA methylation in the occurrence and development of B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Objective To evaluate the anticonvulsant effect of midazolam and diazepam when administered nasally on maximal electroshock seizure and metrazol seizure threshold test models .Methods Rats were randomly divided into 7 groups:model group, low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose of midazolam nasal spray groups , diazepam nasal spray in low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose of midazolam nasal spray groups .After the establishment of the maximal electroshock seizure( MES) and metrazol seizure threshold test models ( MST) in rats, the anticonvulsant effects of different doses of midazolam and the clinically used antiepileptic drug diazepam were evaluated and compared .HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in the hippocampus , cortex and amygdala in rats .Results Significant anticonvulsant effects were observed on MES and MST in rats pretreated with different dosages of midazolam .In addition , the anticonvul-sant effects of midazolam were stronger than those of diazepam at the same dosage on MES and MST (P<0.05,P<0.01). Histopathological results showed that both midazolam and diazepam could effectively prevent the seizure -induced brain inju-ries, inhibit the increase of microglial cells and the inflammatory cell infiltration in the hippocampus, cortex and amygdala, and reduce the nucleus pycnosis and neuronophagia .Conclusion Midazolam has significantly anticonvulsant and neuropro-tective effects on different seizure models when administered nasally in rats .

OBJECTIVE The antagonism of obidoxi me on sarin induced miosis and visual impair-ment was evaluated and its antagonistic mechanism was investigated.METHODS ① 30 min after sarin (2 μg /0.1 mL per eye)was given as an eyedrop,the ability of the 2.5%,5.0%,7.5% obidoxi me and 1 .0% atropine to reverse effects of sarin on pupil dia meter and light reflex were evaluated at different ti mes.② Another 36 rabbits received sarin and at 30 min afer sarin exposure,the drugs above were ad-ministrated and their effects on pupillary light reflex,as well as the AChE activity of cornea,iris and reti-na were recorded 4h after the treatment.RESULTS ① Miosis and impaired pupillary light reflex oc-curred soon after sarin exposure but the abnormal pupil width and pupillary light reflex had disappeared by 48 h after sarin exposure;Subcequent to 1 .0% atropine treatment,the pupil dilatedinstead while the impaired light reflex did not i mprove significantly;unlike atropine,soon after ad ministration of 2.5%, 5.0%,7.5% obidoxi me,the pupil dia meter and light reflex were significantly increased(P <0.01 )and then had beco me normal totally by 24 h post-dose,much faster than those of the control and atropine treatment group.However,there was no significant difference in the recovery ti me between the different dose groups of obidoxi me.② 4h after treatment,the AChE activity in cornea and irisof sarin-treated group were (42 ±4)%,(26 ±2)%,respectively;the AChE activity in cornea of 2.5%,5.0%,7.5%obidoxi me were (74 ±1 1 )%,(81 ±10)% and (74 ±7)%,respectively,and the AChE activity in iris were(39 ±10)%,(43 ±8)% and (43 ±8)%,respectively ,co mpared with sarin-treated group,AChE activities of cornea and iris as well as light reflex of the obidoxi me-treated group were significantly increased(P<0.01 ).But there was no difference in light reflex and AChE activity between the sarin-treated and atropine-treated groups.CONCLUSION Obidoxi me showed better antagonism of sarin-induced ocular effects than that of the commonly used drug,atropine;the antagonistic mechanism is likely closely related to its rapid reactivation of the inhibited AChE in the cornea and iris.
