BACKGROUND:Percutaneous kyphoplasty with bone cement injection for repair of multi-segmental thoracolumbar vertebral osteoporotic fractures can restore the compressed vertebral height, correct deformity and reduce complications. OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effects of percutaneous kyphoplasty with bone cement in patients with multi-segmental thoracolumbar vertebral osteoporotic fractures. METHODS:Eighty patients with multi-segmental thoracolumbar vertebral osteoporotic fractures were enroled, 29 males and 51 females, aged 61-78 year, including 52 case of two-segmental vertebral fractures, 22 cases of three-segmental vertebral fractures, 6 cases of four-segmental vertebral fractures. Al the patients were divided into experimental group and control group randomly. Patients in the control group were given active basic treatment and anti-osteoporosis treatment and stayed in bed. Patients in the experimental group were given percutaneous kyphoplasty with bone cement injection on the above basis. Al the patients were folowed-up 12 months after treatment. Then the Oswesty dysfunction index, Barthel index, visual analog scale score, and theanterior vertebral height and midline height, Cobb angle were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the experimental group, the Oswesty dysfunction index, Barthel index, visual analog scale score, and the anterior vertebral height and midline height, Cobb angle were al significantly improved at 3 days, 3 months and 12 months after treatment than before (P < 0.05). In the control group, the Oswesty dysfunction index, Barthel index and visual analog scale score were improved significantly at 3 and 12 months after treatment (P < 0.05), while the anterior vertebral height and midline height were improve dramaticaly at 12 months after treatment (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed better the Oswesty dysfunction index and Cobb angle than the control group at 12 months after treatment (P < 0.05), but there were no difference in the other indicators between the two groups. No adverse reactions associated with bone cement material occurred in the experimental group. Taken together, the percutaneous kyphoplasty with bone cement injection can rapidly relieve pain in patients with multi-segmental thoracolumbar vertebral osteoporotic fractures, which can correct kyphosis and improve patient's quality of life.

Objective To form the basis of establishing a strategy for safe blood donor recruitment and to identify and subdivide the structures of donors.Methods Demographic data of blood donors, and blood testing results of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV, and syphilis, from Nov. 2004 to Jun. 2005, were collected and analyzed.Results Among the 45270 voluntary blood donors, the total positive test rate were 3.11%, which was related to age, level of education and occupation of blood donors. About 76.7% of donors were young people, aged from 18 to 30. As the age increased, female donors were less than male ones. Among all the donors, 81.6% received higher education, which had lower positive test rate than those with lower level of education. Among the 45270 donors, farmers had the highest positive test rate; workers and service people came the second; students and medical staff had the lowest. As to donors with incomplete record, the positive test rate was higher than those with complete record.Conclusion During blood donor recruitment, quality control is important. People younger than 30, with student or higher education background, are relatively safe to recruit.

Objective To observe the relationship between morphology of ciliary body and glaucoma with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). Methods Eighty shallow-anterior chamber patients and 80 normal-anterior chamber patients were enrolled as shallow-anterior chamber group and control group, respectively. All patients were greater than 40 years old. The shallow-anterior chamber group included 28 patients of acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG subgroup), 26 patients of chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG subgroup), and 26 patients of primary angle-closure suspects (PACS subgroup). Both eyes of all patients were checked with UBM, and position of each eye on sagittal and coronal section of superior, nasal, inferior and temporal were recorded. Then ciliary process height (CPH), ciliary process thickness (CPT), ciliary process interval (CPI), ciliary process number (CPN), A angle and α angle were measured. Furthermore, the difference between shallow-anterior chamber group and control group, the difference between AACG, CACG and PACS subgroup were compared, as well as the difference between PACS subgroup and control group, and the correlation between A angle and α angle was analyzed. Results Compared with control group, CPH and CPT of shallow-anterior chamber group increased, while CPI, CPN, A angle and α angle decreased (P<0.05). Except CPH and CPN between CACG and PACS subgroup, there were significant differences of parameters between subgroup of AACG, CACG and PACS (P<0.05). CPH of PACS subgroup increased than those of control group, while CPI, CPN, A angle and α angle decreased (P<0.05). There was positive correlation between A angle and α angle. Conclusion Morphologic parameters of ciliary process may be sensitive indexes which can early screen primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Objective To evaluate the pelvic floor function in post-hysterectomy patients. Methods Transperineal pelvic ultrasound was used to observe the pelvic organs in post- hysterectomy patients, and parameters of pelvic floor were measured. Taking the inferior margin of public symphysis as the reference plane,the shape and motion of the proximal urethra and bladder neck were observed at rest and on maximum Valsalva maneuver. Bladder neck-symphyseal distance(BSD) and retrovesical angle were measured. And the bladder neck descent(BND),urethral rotation angle and the rotation angle of the bladder neck were also calculated. Interclass correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate the consistency of data. Results At rest,the BSD and retrovesical angle were (-2.73±0.37)cm and (119.00±22.40)°, while on maximum Valsalva maneuver was (-0.25±0.67)cm and (114.74±21.50)°,respectively. BND was (2.46±0.59)cm,the urethral rotation angle and the rotation angle of the bladder neck was (70.68±19.91)° and (60.81±17.34) °,respectively. Combined with pelvic ultrasound and clinical manifestations,29 cases of pelvic floor dysfunction after hysterectomy were diagnosed (58.00%, 5 cases of stress urinary incontinence, 8 cases of proctoptoma and 16 cases of bladder prolapse). The consistency was very high in measuring BNS, retrovesical angle at rest and on maximum Valsalva maneuver and BND by different observers. The interclass coefficient was 0.90,0.89,0.91,0.88,0.92,respectively. And the interclass coefficient of urethral rotation angle and the rotation angle of the bladder neck was 0.79, 0.88,respectively. These results showed a good interobserver agreement. Conclusion Transperineal pelvic ultrasound is a simple,reproducible and noninvasive imaging method, which can reveal the position and function of female pelvic organ dynamically and evaluate postoperative pelvic floor function.

BACKGROUND:Coronary stent implantation can cause blood vessel damage and wal reconstruction, leading to vascular stent restenosis. Studies have found that visfatin is associated with inflammatory reaction, and exhibits an increased expression at the site of plaque rupture in acute myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of percutaneous coronary intervention on the levels of visfatin in patients with coronary heart disease. METHODS:Thirty patients with acute myocardial infarction within 12 hours after the onset of the chest pain, 30 patients with unstable pectoris and 30 patients with stable angina pectoris were included. Al patients were successfuly treated by percutaneous coronary intervention. Meanwhile, 30 patients only undergoing coronary angiography but not stenting treatment were selected, and another 30 patients without any treatment served as normal control group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:According to enzyme-linked immunosorbent method, the visfatin levels of acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stable angina and coronary angiography groups continue to rise at pre-operation, 30 minutes, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours after operation, al of which were higher than that in the normal control group (P < 0.05). The results confirmed that within 24 hours after coronary stent implantation the visfatin levels continue to rise.
