Objective To compare the scale of the spinal bones removed by microendoscopic discectomy (MED) and interlaminal fenestration approach discectomy (IFAD),and their postoperative influence on the lumber degeneration in patients with lumber disc herniation.Methods Totally 76 cases of MED and 80 cases of IFAD were enrolled in this study.The scale of the spinal bones resected were compared by measuring the width and height of the bone window,as well as the percentages of the removed superior and inferior articular processes by using X-ray.To compare the efficacy of the two procedures,Nakai criteria was employed. The height and angle of intervertebral space and intervertebral displacement were detected preoperation,and then were followed up after the surgery.Results Both the width and height of the bone window and the percentages of the removed superior and inferior articular processes of the MED group was significantly less than those in the IFAD group (P=0.000);whereas,no marked difference was found in the scale of disc removal between the two group[(1.75?0.58) g vs (1.95?0.77)g,t=-1.825,P=0.070].The outcomes of the two group was similar,the rate of excellent and good outcomes of the MED and IFAD groups were 86.8% and 88.8%, respectively (Z=-0.184,P=0.854).In the MED group,the intervertebral space was reduced by 30%?18%,which were similar to that in the IFAD group 34%?15%(t=-1.246,P=0.215);3 cases of the MED group and 5 of the IFAD group had intervertebral instability after the surgery (x~2=0.425,P=0.515).Conclusions Both MED and IFAD are effective for lumbar disc herniation.However,MED shoud be the first choice for the disease,because the procedure causes less trauma.

Objective To observe the effect of Shenfu injection on fluid intake volume of resuscitation therapy for patients with septic shock. Methods The clinic data of 36 patients with septic shock admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from June 2010 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with western conventional medicine. Twenty cases treated with western medicine combined with Shenfu injection (intravenous drip 100 mL once daily, half of a month was a therapeutic course) were defined as Shenfu group; the rest 16 cases treated with western medicine only were assigned as control group. The following data after treatment for 6, 24, and 72 hours in the two groups were compared:liquid intake and urine volumes, system vascular resistance index (SVRI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), and case fatality rate in 28 days. Results There were no significant differences in the liquid intake volume in 6 hours after treatment (mL:3 101±219 vs. 3 329±295, P>0.05), the urine volumes in 6, 24 and 72 hours after treatment (mL, 6 hours:701±229 vs. 651±292, 24 hours:1 870±566 vs. 1 697±618, 72 hours:7 396±2 546 vs. 5 987±2 497), and the levels of SVRI in 24 hours after treatment between Shenfu group and control group (kPa·s·L-1·m-2:802±158 vs. 741±106, all P>0.05). The total liquid intake volumes (mL) in 24 hours and 72 hours after treatment in Shenfu group were significantly less than those in the control group (24 hours:4 544±425 vs. 4 996±396, 72 hours:10 985±891 vs. 11 612±807, both P<0.05). The SVRI, MAP, and CI in 72 hours of Shenfu group were significantly higher than those of control group [SVRI (kPa·s·L-1·m-2): 1 361±182 vs. 1 163±183, MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 76.2±6.1 vs. 71.8±6.3, CI (mL·s-1·m-2):76.2±7.5 vs. 70.8±7.2, all P<0.05], and the 28-day mortality rate in Shenfu group was significantly lower than that of control group [25.0%(5/20) vs. 62.5%(10/16), P<0.05]. Conclusion The application of Shenfu injection was favorable to the reduction of liquid intake volume in 72 hours after treatment that may be beneficial to the fluid limitation management in the course of treatment for septic shock.

Femoral neck fractures in pediatric fractures account for less than 1% which is very rare, and its mechanism is commonly caused by high-energy trauma. If children with femoral neck fracture cannot receive timely and effective treatment, they are at high risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN), coxa vara, bone nonunion, premature physeal closure, leg length discrepancy and other complications. Surgical treatment is currently preferred over conservative treatment, which has a higher complication rate. Among them, AVN is one of the most common and the most difficult complications to manage. So far, no effective treatment measures and reliable predictors have been reported, and the related factors affecting the occurrence of AVN have also been controversial. Once femoral head necrosis occurs in children, the prognosis is not ideal due to the lack of appropriate treatment methods. Therefore, this paper reviews the research progress on the related factors of AVN after femoral neck fracture in children based on the literature reports in the past decade.

Objective To examine the expression of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) receptor subtypes in human left and right atrial tissue in atrial fibrillation underlying rheumatic heart disease. Methods Atrial tissue samples were obtained from 39 patients with rheumatic heart disease, 25 with atrial fibrillation(AF) and 14 with sinus rhythm(SR) during open heart surgery. AT1 and AT2 mRNA levels were measured with semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction techniques. AT1 and AT2 protein levels were measured with immunohistochemical techniques. Results Compared with that of the SR group, left atrial inner diameter was significantly increased in the patients of the AF group. The AT1 mRNA and protein levels in the LA significantly increased in patients with AF compared with those in patients with SR (P < 0. 05), whereas AT2 mRNA and protein were not significantly altered. Investigations of Ang Ⅱ receptor subtypes' mRNA and protein levels in the RA did not exhibit any significant changes either in AT1 or AT2 in patients with AF and SR. Conclusions AF is associated with an up-regulation of AT1 in LA, but does not appear to influence the AT2 expression. This may indicate a possible pathophysiologie role for renin-angiotensin system in the development of AF. The series of effects mediated by ATI activation may be one of the molecular mechanisms involved in the process of atrial remodeling.
