[Objective]To explore the surgical plan of lumbar degenerative de novo scoliosis combined with vertebral stenosis(LDDS) and evaluate the surgical efficiency.[Method]From July 2003 to Jan.2007,32 LDDS patients were diagnosed and operated in the author’s hospital.The X-ray,computed tomography and MRI radiological data were measured carefully preoperately which included the Cobb’s angle,vertebral rotational and lateral subluxation degree.All the patients were treated by posterior decompression and pedicle screw internal fixation,and the surgery,fluoroscopic time and bleeding amount were recorded.Patients were administered pre- and postoperatively with clinical outcome surveys of Visual Analogue Pain Score(VAS),Low Back Outcome Score(LBOS).Pre- and postoperative measurements of the Cobb's angle and lumbar lordosis of the involved segments were analyzed.[Result]The surgery time was 4?0.5 hours,the average bleeding amount was 400?30 ml,the fluoroscopic time was 30?5 min.All the patients were followed from 8 months to 4 years,and radiography was proceeded on 8 and 16 months respectively post surgery.Twenty-four cases got good bone fusion,and mean Cobb's angle decreased from 37.2 to 18.4 degrees,mean focal lordosis increased from 13.1 to 16.4 degrees,mean vertebral rotation angle decreased from 14.2 to 9.8 degrees,mean preoperative measures of VAS and LBOS improved from 5.3?2.2 and 24.8?15.6,respectively to 2.2?2.1 and 44.8?18.0 at last follow-up,the Cobb’s angle,lumbar lordosis and the degree of vertebral rotation had significantly difference pre and post surgery(t test,P

[Objective]To study the clinical characteristics of osteochondrosis of lumbar posterior vertebral edge(OLPV) and evaluate the efficiency of surgical treatment. [Method]From August 2000 to August 2003,41 cases of OLPV patients were treated,all cases underwent decompression of posterior approach and selective resection of the compressive things.Furthermore,1 case was treated with trans-vertebral pedicle internal fixation and inter-transverse process bone graft because of excessive decompression and preoperative lumbar instability.[Result]Low back and leg pain disappeared or obviously being relieved in all cases,and the results of histological analysis suggested the diagnosis of OLPV in all cases.Forty-one cases were followed from 5 to 8 years,average 6.8 years.No lumbar instability or spondylolisthesis was found in any case.Six cases suffered slight low back pain occasionally without obvious impaired quality of life.The preoperative JOA score was 14.73?2.06,when followed by 3 months,the score changed into 27.14?4.13,there was statistical significance between them(P

[Objective]To analyze the dynamic changing of inflammatory markers in second stage revision for infected TKA and to explore the sensitive indicators. [Methods]From June 2004 to April 2008,20 cases of infected TKA were admitted and treated by the two stages knee revision.The inflammatory markers included full blood count,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR).C-reactive protein(CRP) were examined weekly,and to evaluate the dynamic changes and the most sensitive indicators.[Results]CRP was the most sensitive index for infection control,and its maximum presented in the first week post antibiotic bone cement implantation,followed by rapid reduction in the second week and there was statistical difference compared to the CRP level before surgery(t=105.84,P

BACKGROUND:Peripheral nerve defect due to limb dysfunction has always been the difficulty faced by the medical profession. Ideal materials and processing technology for constructing a tissue engineering scaffold targeting peripheral nerve repair are stil in research stage. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress in peripheral nerve repair using col agen/silk fibroin nerve conduits. METHODS:In this paper, the first author retrieved the PubMed and CNKI from 2003 to 2016 to search articles regarding methods of constructing artificial nerve scaffolds and selection of raw materials. Data from these articles were col ected, summarized and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Forty-six articles were included for final analysis. Col agen and its degradation products trigger no inflammatory response in the host because of high biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, its use is largely limited by its rapid degradation and poor physical performance. Silk fibroin has a high flexibility and biocompatibility, and exhibits a slow degradation in vivo. As a rapid prototyping technique, three-dimensional printing can print various forms of scaffolds within a short time, characterized as high-quality pore structure and large-scale production. Given these, the col agen/silk fibroin nerve conduit prepared using the three-dimensional printing technology can maintain the biocompatibility and even improve the mechanical properties of the raw materials. Until now, more investigations on nerve repair using col agen or silk fibroin have been done, and we have never stopped improving the production process of these scaffolds. Therefore, the col agen/silk fibroin scaffold prepared using the three-dimensional printing technology is expected to become the main candidate for the repair of peripheral nerve defects.
