BACKGROUND:Currently, one of common methods is discectomy, nerve root decompression and fusion rigid fixation from the midline approach for disc herniation which is inefficient by conservative treatments. Thus, it is causing degeneration and limiting lumbar physiological activity of adjacent segments. The treatment of non-fusion lumbar disc herniation with the traditional posterior midline incision approach has some disadvantages such as big incision, wide peeling, and back muscle denervation.
OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic effects of dynamic stabilization system through Wiltse approach on lumbar disc herniation, and to compare the outcomes with traditional posterior approach.
METHODA total of 46 patients, who had undergone discectomy and internal fixation using dynamic stabilization systems for lumbar disc herniation at the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2011 to January 2013, were enrol ed in this study. The operation was performed through the traditional posterior approach in 25 patients and Wiltse approach in 21 patients.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al 46 patients were fol owed up for 7 to 31 months (averagely, 13.8±2.4 months). The length of incision, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative drainage amount were less in the Wiltse approach group than in the traditional posterior approach group (P<0.05). No significant difference in visual analog scale scores and operative time was detected between the two groups at 1 week and 6 months after fixation (P>0.05). Radiographs revealed that the position of implants was good in al patients, no loosing or breakage. These data verified that the early effect of dynamic stabilization system through Wiltse approach for lumbar disc herniation is similar to that of traditional posterior approach.

BACKGROUND:Because human cells for culturing alveolar bone cell line are from alveolar bone, which is in oral cavity,and easily polluted, so laboratory study is often unsuccessful. Because the samples are from adults, so cell division index and the successful rate of culture are low.OBJECTIVE: To compare the biological characteristics of survived cell line established through passage,cryopreservation and revitalization following in vitro culturing the alveolar bone tissue obtained from normal persons and patients with chronic periodontitis accompanied with osteoporosis in aseptic operation; To compare the biological characteristics of two kinds of cells so as to provide theoretical and related experimental evidence for defect, repair and treatment of alveolar bone.DESIGN: Controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Stomatology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University; Institute of Orthopaedics,General Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: Alveolar bone tissue obtained from normal persons and patients with chronic periodontitis confirmed in clinic was used in aseptic operation.METHODS: Alveolar bone tissue from normal persons and chronic periodontitis accompanied with osteoporosis were cultured in vitro. In the four cell lines (H-171, H-258, 261, 262) cultured primarily, cell lines H-171 and H-258 were chosen from periodonitis patients group and normal group respectively, and stained with histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. Cell morphology was observed. Doubling time and division index of two kinds of cells were calculated with cytometry. After several circles of passage, cryopreservation and revitalization, growth and aging rule of cells were compared.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Passage and biological characteristics of two groups of cell lines.RESULTS: ①In the abnormal alveolar bone group, there was one successful primary culture and cells presented short-spindle shape. There were 3 times of cryopreservation and 3 times of revitalization. Its doubling time was 53.4 hours. The average division index was about 4‰. Cells well grew after 20 times of passages. ②In the normal alveolar bone group, there were 26 cases of cell lines cultured primarily, but passage was found in only 3 cases of cell lines due to various causes. There were 10 passages and the cells presented long-spindle shape. After two circles of cryopreservation and revitalization, the survival and growth rate of cells were inferior as compared with cell line H-171.Doubling time was 65.9 hours and the average division index was 3.5‰. ③Both two kinds of cells adhered the wall, with the characteristics of osteoblasts: AKP, toluidine blue, PAS, tetracycline-labeled mineralized nodus, type Ⅰ collagen and BMP-2 immunohistochemical staining all presented positive.CONCLUSION: Both two kinds of cultured cells have the characteristics of osteoblasts. The growth speed of cell line H-171 is faster than that of cell line H-258. No obvious mutation is found in 20 passages. In the 8th generation of H-258,aging appears and growth speed becomes slow.

BACKGROUND:Thoracolumbar spine as highly concentrated stress, often prone to vertebral fractures. With the further development of the biomechanics and anatomical structure of the spine, posterior open reduction and internal fixation with pedicle screw has been widely accepted by clinicians. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical results and safety of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation system (Viper system) used in thoracolumbar compression fractures. METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed 40 patients with thoracolumbar compression fractures from Department of Orthopedics, Changzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from January 2013 to February 2014. According to the type of graft, patients were randomly divided into experiment group and control group, with 20 patients in each group. They were respectively subjected to Viper percutaneous pedicle screw fixation system and open reduction and pedicle screw fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al vertebra got bone unions. Operative time and time to bone union were shorter in the experiment group than in the control group. Moreover, intraoperative blood loss was less in the experiment group than in the control group. Cobb’s angle, height percentage of leading edge and wedge angle were similar between the two groups. However, at 12 months after internal fixation, height percentage of leading edge was lower in the experiment group than in the control group. Visual Analogue Scale scores and Oswestry Disability Index were noticeably improved after fixation in both groups. Visual Analogue Scale scores and Oswestry Disability Index were lower in the experiment group than in the control group immediately after fixation. These results suggest that compared with open reduction and pedicle screw fixation, Viper percutaneous pedicle screw fixation system for thoracolumbar compression fractures can stably restore the structure and function of spine, and does not increase perioperative complications.

OBJECTIVETo study on the drug release characteristics and mechanism of gastrodin ion-activated nasal in situ gel in vitro.
METHODRegularity and mechanism of the drug release of gastrodin nasal in situ gel were studied by using the diffusion cell model and the membrane-less dissolution model, respectively. A novel kinesis diffusion cell model was designed according to the characteristics of release environment of nasal cavity. It was used to investigate the effect of adhesiveness on the release of the in situ gel.
RESULTDrug release of gastrodin nasal in situ gel followed the one order release model. Erosion rate of the gel was low and not linearly correlated with the release rate. Compared with gastrodin solution, the nasal in situ gel could increase release time and release amount.
CONCLUSIONGastrodin in the nasal in situ gel is released mainly by diffusion rather than erosion. Release amount of the in situ gel in nasal cavity may be obviously increased because of its adhesiveness.
