ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application value of single-door laminoplasty via Y type nano-bone plate in treating multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM) and analyze the short-term efficacy.Methods From January 2013 to December 2016,79 cases of MCSM were treated with single-door laminoplasty via Y type nano-bone plate to evaluate the improvement of post-operative neurological function by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) evaluation system.We also measured cervical curvature of cervical X-ray and C5 sagittal diameter of the spinal canal before operation and 6 months after operation to understand the maintenance and enlargement of the spinal canal.The improvement degree of spinal cord compression was evaluated by preoperative and postoperative cervical MRI.Osseous healing on the open door side and the door shaft side was observed with the aid of three-dimensional spiral CT.Results Follow-up ranged from 6 to 36 months,with an average of (20.4±7.9)months.Preoperative JOA score was (8.6 ± 1.3) points and JOA score 6 months after operation was (14.3 ± 1.5)points (P ＜ 0.05).JOA improvement rate was (68.6 ± 15.8)％;postoperative follow-up X-ray and threedimensional spiral CT showed that the spinal canal had satisfying enlargement,the door shaft side all had osseous healing,the open door side osseous healing was not obvious,and there was no lamina collapse or reclosing.Sagittal diameter of theC spinal canal was (8.9±l.1)mm before operation and (15.1±l.1)mm 6 months after operation (P＜0.05).The spinal canal enlargement rate was (70.8±22.3)％,cervical curvature was (14.8± 7.0)°preoperatively and (15.1±6.7)°postoperatively with no significant difference (P＞0.05).Conclusion EOLP via Y type nano-bone plate is safe and efficacious in treating MCSM.It not only provides a good immediate fixation,but also provides the possibility for the open door side lateral osseous fusion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To screen key genes related to deep vein thrombosis (TDVT) after trauma using gene function assembly analysis. Methods Thirty Sprague Dawley rats were randomized into control, thrombosis and non-thrombosis groups. Traumatic limb DVT models were established in rats through quantitative beating on the bilateral posterior limbs. The Genechip Rat genome 430 2. 0 genechips were applied to detect changes in genes expressions on difference phases of DVT. On the basis of the differential gene expressions in the thrombosis and non-thrombosis groups, the gene function assembly analysis was conducted to define the most significant and concentrated gene functions leading to the biological characters of DVT.Results B factor (bf), complement 4 binding protein α (C4bpα), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (serpinel), urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (plaur) were screened to be the key genes related to DVT, because they were found to be involved in the functions like complement activation, development,growth, morphogenesis, primary metabolism, cell motility, protein metabolism, localization of cell, locomotion and localization. The abundance values of the genes expressed were 1.6, -0. 2, 2. 1, 5. 1 in the thrombosis group, and -0. 5, - 1.4, 2. 7, 3. 3 in the non-thrombosis group. Conclusion Bf, C4bpα,serpinel, plaur may be the key genes that play a role in the process of DVT.
