Chongqing Medicine 2017;46(15):2083-2084
Objective To study the effect of different therapies for posterior lumbar disc herniation.Methods A total of 8 000 patients with lumbar disc posterior surgery were enrolled in this research at our hospital.The technical points of the patients in different times were analysed.The results of the operation were observed.Results From January 1980 to December 1990,patients underwent laminectomy.From January 1991 to December 2000,patients were treated with laminectomy and semi-lamina.From January 2001 to December 2016,the open window accounted for 86.0%,expanding the window or semi-lamina accounted for 11.0%,and the whole laminar plate only accounted for 3.0%.After 2000,the accuracy of the diagnosis was 98.0%,the excellent rate of operation was 99.8%,the average operation time was(80±15)min,and the blood loss was(100±20)mL.Among them,the rate of I/A healing was 99.8%,dural tear rate was 4.0%,nerve root injury rate was 0.5%,and cerebrospinal fluid leakage rate was 0.9%.The incidence of complications in the cases after 2000 was significantly lower.Conclusion By summarizing the operation technique of posterior lumbar disc herniation,the operation error can be avoided and the incidence of complications of surgical injury can be reduced.

Objective To study the synthesis and degradation of collagen at the transcription level during liver fibrosis in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica. Methods New Zealand rabbits infected with Schistosoma japonicum cercariae were served as animal models of liver fibrosis. The liver specimens were collected through operations at 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 weeks after infection. TypeⅠcollagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels of liver tissue were detected by RT\|PCR plus dot blotting, and the size of egg granulomas and the degree of liver fibrosis were measured by histopathological examinations. Results TypeⅠcollagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels increased simultaneously in the early stage after the infection, mostly reaching their peaks at 10 weeks after infection. Compared with normal controls, type Ⅰ collagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels increased by 12\^0 , 11\^0 , 6\^6 , 10\^0 and 11\^0\|fold, respectively, coinciding with the changes of egg granulomas. Thereafter, both collagen and collagenase mRNA levels decreased. TypesⅠ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagen mRNA levels declined to 2\|fold to 3\|fold compared with normal controls ( P 0\^05) at 28 weeks. This study showed that the synthesis and degradation of collagen remained dynamic balance in the early stage of schistosomiasis, while in the later stage the metabolism of collagen synthesis was higher than that of collagen degradation. Conclusion It was confirmed at the transcription level that when the metabolism of collagen synthesis was higher than that of collagen degradation in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica, liver fibrosis might be produced.

Objective To evaluate the early therapeutic effect of flail chest with pulmonary contusion by using different mode of mechanical ventilation. Methods Twenty-nine patients of flail chest with pulmonary contusion were analysed retrospectively. All the patients were treated with the ventilator Bear1000. Two groups were established: invasion group was treated with SIMV+PEEP(8 cases) and CPAP+PSV (7 cases), noninvasion group was treated with NIPPV(14 cases). Results There was no death in all the patients. CPAP+PSV was more effective than SIMV+PEEP not only in decreasing breath rate and improving hypoxemia but also in decreasing peak inspiratory pressure(P

BACKGROUND:Clinical resection of thoracolumbar spinal tumor has a great impact on the spinal stability. Positive internal fixation is required clinicaly in order to maintain the spinal stability. The use of titanium mesh implantation can provide a firm internal fixation folowing resection of tumors. OBJECTIVE:To explore the spinal stability undergoing titanium mesh implantation with internal fixation folowing thoracolumbar tumor resection. METHODS:Twenty-four patients with thoracolumbar tumor admitted at the Central Hospital of Suining City from September 2013 to September 2014 were randomly selected and given tumor resection folowed by titanium mesh implantation with internal fixation. After treatment, patients were folowed up for 1-12 months to observe and analyze the neural functional recovery and spinal stability of the patients. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the 24 patients successfuly completed the operation treatment, and there was no case of death at the end of folow-up. During the folow-up, patient's clinical symptoms and neural function were significantly relieved, and Frankel classification was significantly improved after treatment. Regular X-ray examination showed that there was no change in the position of titanium mesh and anterior internal fixation system. There was also no titanium mesh colapse, internal fixation fracture and loosening, and the spinal stability was stil excelent. These findings indicate that patients were not changed, and did not appear because the amount of loose, good spinal stability. Resection of thoracolumbar tumors showed that the thoracolumbar spinal reconstruction with titanium mesh implantation combined with internal fixation folowing tumor resection can obtain good clinical effect and excelent biocompatiblity.

Objective To investigate the role of β-arrestin2 in intestinal inflammation and illustrate the mechanisms from the perspective of epithelial barrier function. Methods Dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)is used to induce acute intestinal colitis in mice. The experiment groups are designed as the wild type control(WT),the wild type colitis (WT+DSS) and the β-arrestin2- knockout colitis (KO+DSS). The expression of β-arrestin2 gene by mRNA and protein level is compared between the WT and WT + DSS groups. The difference of weight loss , disease activity index(DAI),spleen weight,colon length,histological score,intestinal permeability and important tight junction proteins (occludin ,claudin1 and ZO-1) were detected in the WT+DSS and KO+DSS groups. Results Compared with the WT group,the expression of β-arrestin2 was significantly higher in the colon of the WT+DSS group. Compared with the WT+DSS group,the KO+DSS group had less weight loss(P < 0.05),lower DAI(P<0.05),smaller spleen,longer colon and lower histological score(P=0.002). The KO+DSS group had a lower intestinal permeability(P = 0.009)and higher protein level of occludin and claudin1.There was no signifi-cant difference of ZO-1 in the two groups. Conclusion β-arrestin2 may promote mouse colitis through impairment of epithelial barrier function.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a modified method of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP)--6-o'clock tunnel HoLEP for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
METHODSWe included 112 cases of BPH in this study, 57 treated by 6-o'clock tunnel HoLEP (experimental group) and the other 55 by conventional HoLEP (control group). We compared the operation time, volume of the resected prostatic tissue, intraoperative blood transfusion, volume of bladder irrigation solution, postoperative hemoglobin change, and incidence of urinary incontinence between the two groups.
RESULTSStatistically significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in the operation time ([56.01 ± 8.62] min vs [68.65 ± 9.08] min), cases of intraoperative blood transfusion (0 vs 2), volume of bladder irrigation solution ([27.51 ± 3.67] L vs [36.89 ± 6.47] L), postoperative hemoglobin decrease ([10.70 ± 2.50] g/L vs [12.60 ± 3.30] g/L), and cases of postoperative stress-induced urinary incontinence (2 vs 7) (all P <0.05). One-month follow-up revealed smooth urination in both groups of patients but no true urinary incontinence or secondary bleeding in either.
CONCLUSIONModified 6-o'clock tunnel HoLEP can significantly reduce the operation time, bladder irrigation, and intraoperative bleeding, and therefore can be used as a safe and effective option for the treatment of BPH.
