Objective To report the preliminary experiences in the treatment of old unstable thoracolumbar vertebral fractures by using anterior decompression, bone graft or titanium mesh and internal fixation with Z-plate system. Methods There were 23 cases (18 males and 5 females) with age range of 25-66 years (mean 41.7 years) as well as thoracolumbar vertebral fracture history for 1.2-28 years (mean 5.6 years). All cases complained of severe lower back pain, 17 of whom had slight neurological deficits (Frankel Grade D). Preoperative radiographic evaluation showed that all 23 cases had various degrees of kyphosis (25?-40?, averaged 34?), spinal cord compression and vertebral instability. Of 23 cases, 15 were treated with anterior decompression, full-thickness iliac crest autograft and internal fixation with Z-plate and the other 8 with titanium mesh instead of full-thickness iliac crest autograft. Results No severe complications happened during and after operation. The lower back pain and neurological deficits were improved or disappeared 2-3 months postoperatively. The average kyphotic correction degrees ranged from preoperative 34? to postoperative 12?. No patients' symptoms worsened during follow-up. In three cases with preoperative Frankel Grade D, the myodynamia recovered slightly but the Frankel Grade remained unchanged. The postoperative MRI examinations showed that vertebral canals were well decompressed. Conclusions Anterior decompression, autograft or titanium mesh and internal fixation with Z-plate are proved to be safe and effective techniques for clinical management of old thoracolumbar fractures, for they have advantages in effective decompression of neural structures, high healing rate of autograft and correction of kyphotic deformity.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and long - term prognosis of neonatal lupus erythe-matosus(NLE)and to improve the understanding of NLE. Methods The clinical manifestations and related serologi-cal tests of NLE children diagnosed from June 2010 to January 2014 were analyzed. Regular follow - up was carried out to detect the general condition,rash,blood routine,urine routine,liver and kidney function,complement,red blood cell sedimentation rate(ESR),auto antibodies,electrocardiogram,and ultrasound cardiogram. Results Among the 11 NLE cases,there were 6 male and 5 female patients. All had lesions on skin,3 cases had hematologic changes,7 cases were had liver damage,and 4 cases had heart impairment. The antinuclear antibody and anti - sjogren sydrome A/ Ro antigen (SSA/ Ro)were positive in all the patients. The anti - sjogren sydrome B antigen was positive in 5 patients. The anti -double stands deoxyribonucleic acid antibody was positive in 4 patients. Antibody against U1 - ribonudeoprotein was positive in 3 patients,and the level of ESR was higher in 5 patients. The antinuclear antibody and anti - SSA/ Ro anti-body were positive in all mothers. Only 1 mother had no symptom before pregnancy,7 patients had SLE,3 patients had sjogren syndrome. Seven patients received protect liver enzyme treatment,3 cases of glucocorticoid therapy,and 1 case had combined intravenous treatment with gamma globulin. Among the 11 cases,10 cases were followed up for 10 months to 4 years,while 1 case died from complete bundle branch block after 5 weeks of birth. At 1 year old,10 cases of cuta-neous lupus damage had liver damage were resorted to normal,and the rheumatic autoimmune related autoantibodies of 9 cases turned to be negative,but 1 case was diagnosed as Kawasaki disease when she was 1 year old. Conclusions One of the most common clinical manifestations of NLE was damage of skin,had the liver and blood system abnormity were common but usually not serious. Heart disease especially complete atrioventricular block was less. The long - term follow - up for children with NLE is necessary,and the majority of the prognosis is good,as only a few have the possibi-lity of developing other autoimmune diseases.

Objective To observe the effect of pigplacenta ins tead of Ziheche (P lacenta Hominis) for the treatment of senile dementia. Methods Seventy Kunming mice were divided into blank group, model group, pos itive control group, Zih eche low and high dosage groups, and pigplacenta low and high dosage grou ps, wi th 10 in each. The senile dementia models were established with the D-Galactose subcutaneous injection. The blank group was not administered any medicines. The model group was prescribed normal saline instead of the tested medicine; the pos itive control group was given Naofukang by gavage; the Zih eche low and high dosage groups were given 2g/kg and 4g/kg Ziheche respectivel y by gavage; while the pigplacenta low and high dosage groups were treated wi th p igplacenta 4g/kg and 8g/kg respectively by gavage. After treatment for 6 week s, the behavior experimental dark-avoiding test and step-down test were applied to test the effect of the medicines on the learning memory of mice, and acetylchol inesterase and monoamine levels in brain tissues. Results There was no s ignificant difference between the effect of pigplacenta and Ziheche in resi stin g senile dementia. In the latency of dark-avoiding test, the effect of high d osa ge of pigplacenta was significantly better than that of Ziheche (P

Objective To establish a dot blot hybridization technique for rapid detection of staphylococci and methicillin-resistant staphylococci.Methods Three pairs of primers were designed according to nuc gene of staphylococcus aureus,mecA gene of methicillin-resistance,tuf gene of staphylococci.Specific DNA probes were synthesized by polymerase chain reaction and labeled with biotin.The bacterial DNA inoculated on nitrocellulose filter was hybridized with these probes.The sensitivity and specificity were detected.Results The DNA probes with 270bp,310bp and 370bp were amplified by the three pairs of primers respectively.The probes were specific.Among 50 clinical isolates of staphylococcus aureus tuf and nuc gene were all positive and mecA gene in 22 isolates were positive.Positive rate of tuf,nuc and mecA gene in 30 staphylococcus epidermidis were 100%,0 and 30% (9/30) respectively.No hybridization in other non-staphylococci occurred.The established method could detect as low as 1ng of bacterial DNA.Conclusion The dot blot hybridization is of high value in rapid,effective identification of methicillin-resistant staphylococci.
