ObjectiveTo explore the influence of the cigarette smoke in the airway inflammation and pulmonary function of the asthmatic patients. MethodsTwenty-five cases of asthmatic patients with cigarette smoke exposure, 22 cases of asthmatic patients without cigarette smoke exposure and 20 cases of normal control persons were involved in this study. The proportion of various inflammatory cells in the induced sputum, the levels of serum interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-4 and lung function (FEV1% expected value,FEV1/FVC% ) were detected. ResultsThe infiltrating of neutrophils was primarily found in sputum of the asthmatic patients with cigarette smoke exposure, but the infiltrating of eosinophils was mainly in sputum of the asthmatic patients without cigarette smoke exposure. The levels of serum IL-8 and IL-4 of peripheral blood of asthmatic patients with cigarette smoke exposure[(277.02 ±71.37), (171.69 ±31.01) ng/L] were significantly higher than those in asthmatic patients without cigarette smoke exposure[(158.88 ± 21.95 ),( 111.42 ± 21.69 ) ng/L] and normal control persons [( 116.78 ± 71.37 ), (73.94 ± 15.72 ) ng/L] (P < 0.01 ).The FEV1% expected value and FEV1/FVC% of the asthmatic patients with cigarette smoke exposure [(51.12 ± 13.30) %, ( 49.16 ± 11.09 )%] was lower than those of asthmatic patients without cigarette smokeexposure [(81.81 ± 5.82)%, (79.00 ± 3.86)%] and normal control persona [(95.50 ± 10.11 )%, (83.18 ±6.04)%] (P < 0.01 ). The level of serum IL-8 was positively correlated to the neutrophils percentage in the induced sputum (r =0.742,P< 0.01 ) ,while negatively correlated to the FEV1% expected value(r =-0.739,P < 0.01 ). ConclusionCigarette smoke may influence the airway inflammation of the asthmatic patients and accelerate the deterioration of their lung function by promoting the producing of IL-8.

Objective To determine the mechanism underlying the mandibular angle enlargement and to provide a morphological basis for correcting the enlarged mandibular angle. Methods By axial computed tomography, it is possible to measure the width and length of the masseter and the medial pterygoid, the gonial angle, and the vertical height of the posterior mandible. The date were initially analysed by using a simple correctionials and indpendent sample T test. Results The distance between two Go points and gonial angle were significantly related with the thickness of masseter muscle, but the thickness of the medial pterygoid was on the contrary. There was significant differences between the group of prominence and the normal control in the gonial angle, the distance between two Go points and thickness of masseter . But there was no difference between the the two groups in the thickness of medial pterygoid. Conclusion The thickness of the masseter muscle is an important factor that affects the lower facial morphology. The hypertrophy of masserter muscle may cause the mandibular angle enlargement.

Objective Short-segment pedicle instrumentation for thoracolumbar burst fracture was known to have a relatively high incidence of failure and correction loss, intracorporeal gap secondary to reduction being probable causes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intracorporeal gap after reduction and the biomechanical effect of vertebroplasty on thoracolumbar burst fractures. Methods Six fresh adult thoracolumbar specimens were collected, and 10 segmental specimens (T11-L1, L2-L4, T12-L2) were processed. Burst fracture was created using free-drop test. Then the fractures were reduced and augmented with injectable self-setting calcium phosphate cement. The intracorporeal gap and bone mineral density(BMD) were measured using spiral CT and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA) before fracture, after reduction and after vertebroplasty respectively. The stiffness in middle vertebrae and above discs were measured under flexion, extension, lateral flexion and torsion stress before fracture and after augmentation. The ultimate strength against compression was tested in the augmented vertebrae and the integral vertebrae below it. Results Burst fractures were created in eight of ten specimens. 1) There was no evident intracorporeal gap before fracture, which appeared after reduction with average volume of 5.25 cm3 (13.9% of total corporal volume), and it decreased to normal level after vertebroplasty. 2) The BMD was normal in all specimens before fracture, which decreased significantly after fracture reduction, and it was significantly higher after vertebroplasty than that before fracture or after reduction. 3) There was no significant difference of stiffness in vertebrae before fractures and after augmentation. The mean value of ultimate strength against compression in the augmented vertebrae decreased slightly but not significantly in contrast to the vertebrae below it. In contrast to the value before fracture, the stiffness of above discs decreased significantly under flexion and extension stress but not significantly under lateral flexion stress after augmentation, while the stiffness of the specimen decreased significantly under torsion stress. Conclusion 1) Posterior reduction in thoracolumbar burst fracture can not reestablish intact corporeal structure, which may be an important cause of postoperative implant failure and correction loss. 2) Vertebroplasty with injectable self-setting calcium phosphate cement is helpful to reestablish intact corporeal structure, and restore stiffness and strength of the injured corpora nearly to its initial value.

Objective To investigate the clinical results of percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) for symptomatic vertebral hemangioma. Methods Eleven patients(2 males and 9 females) suffered from symptomatic vertebral hemangioma(11 thoracic segment levels and 3 lumbar segment levels) were treated with PVP under DSA or CT guidance. The main goal of this procedure was to relieve hemangioma related pain. All patients were examined with CT scan after intervention and were followed up from 3 to 34 months (average, 15.2 months). Results The procedure was technically successful in all patients, with an average injection amount of 6.3 ml cement per vertebral body. No clinically significant complications were found. There was no epidural leakage, and the 2 paravertebral leakages detected with CT had no clinical importance. Partial or complete pain relief was achieved in all patients associated with improved mobility, and 1 patient experienced transitory worsening of pain followed by significant pain relief. Patients were discharged in 1-4 days (average, 1.5 days) after the procedure. Pain relief was sustained in all patients at the last following-up. Conclusion PVP is a valuable minimal invasive alternative procedure in treatment of symptomatic vertebral hemangioma and provides satisfactory pain relief with less complications.
