Objective To investigate the clinical value of the intervertebral disc morphous in patients with thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture. Methods The MRI, X-ray and CT data of 75 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture were retrospectively analyzed. The intervertebral disc damage degree was observed, and its correlation with vertebral fracture degree and endplate damage degree was studied. The vertebral body leading edge height, intervertebral space height and back convex Cobb angle in patients with different intervertebral disc damage degree were measured. Results The intervertebral disc damage degree height was positively correlated with endplate damage degree (P<0.01), and the intervertebral disc damage degree was positively correlated with fracture degree (P<0.01). With the increase of the intervertebral disc damage degree in patients with Ⅰ - Ⅳtype intervertebral disc damage, the vertebral body leading edge height and intervertebral space height gradually became smaller: (0.68 ± 0.05), (0.61 ± 0.03), (0.58 ± 0.03), (0.42 ± 0.05) mm, and (0.31 ± 0.06), (0.29 ± 0.03), (0.24 ± 0.06), (0.22 ± 0.02) mm, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in back convex Cobb angle in patients with different intervertebral disc damage degree (P>0.05). Conclusions It is more important to observe the morphological changes of the intervertebral disc in patients with thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture, and the damage degree is closely related with the vertebral fracture degree and endplate damage degree.

BACKGROUND:Fragile bone in senile osteoporosis patients easily weakened pedicle screw fixation capacity. Therefore, bone cement leakage and screw removal cannot be solved during pedicle screw repair in osteoporotic patients with degenerative lumbar spine. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biomechanical properties of novel pourable pedicle screws and bone cement application effect in osteoporotic patients with degenerative lumbar spine. METHODS:Six lumbar specimens (T11-L5) at the mean age of (72.9±4.2) years were selected, total y 42 vertebrae. The average bone density was 0.696 g/cm2. Any side of al vertebrae was inserted with pourable pedicle screws. 2 mL of bone cement was perfused under the X-ray fluoroscopy with cement push rod and fil ing cylinder. The same number of conventional screws was inserted into the opposite side of the samples. Three-point bending test was performed in two kinds of screws. The maximum vertebral axial pul out force test and the maximum spin torque test were conducted in vertebra to observe the destruction of the vertebral body and implanted effect. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The ultimate strength and yield load of novel pourable cement pedicle screws were significantly more than conventional screws (P<0.05). Ultimate displacement and yield displacement were significantly less in novel pourable cement pedicle screws than in conventional screws (P<0.05). (2) The maximum vertebral axial pul out force and the maximum spin torque were significantly higher in novel pourable pedicle screws than in conventional screws (P<0.05). (3) In summary, novel pourable cement pedicle screw is simple to operate, can effectively control bone cement penetration, and improve screw stability in osteoporotic vertebrae. Moreover, after treatment, the removal of screws is convenient, cannot evidently destroy vertebral body or screw channel, and promote early recovery.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features and treatment of pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) in a duplex kidney. Methods From 1993 to 2010, 752 patients were diagnosed as PUJO in our hospital and 18 patients (2.4%) with PUJO in duplex kidneys. Three patients had obstruction in the complete duplicated systems and 15 in the incomplete duplicated systems. Five patients had obstruction of the upper moiety and 13 of the lower moiety. All of the 18 patients underwent B-ultrasonography, with 15 enhanced CT scan, 11 intravenous urography and 10 retrograde pyelography.All patients had serum creatinine test after admission and during the follow-up. Results Sixteen patients underwent operations and 2 patients were treated conservatively. Nine patients underwent pyeloplasty and 7 patients underwent heminephroureterectomy. Pathology shows derangement of the lamina muscularis at pelvi-ureteric junction and infiltration of inflammatory cells in mesenchymal. They were followed up from 6 months to 3 years with a mean of 24 months. The clinical symptoms of patients who underwent surgery were cured in all cases. B-ultrasound and IVU showed that hydronephrosis was obviously relieved and the levels of serum creatinine remained the same or decreased. The hydronephrosis and serum creatinine of patients who underwent conservative treatment remained stabilized. Conclusions PUJO in duplicated system is a rare condition. Careful preoperative evaluation is needed to reach the final diagnosis and retrograde pyelography has high specificity. Treatment should be individualized according to split and partial renal function.
