ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the morphological regularity of the thoracic pedicle screw in 4 to 12 years old children by the digital technology,and to provide the theoreticl basis for thoracic pedicle screw fixation in children.Methods A total of 60 healthy children aged from 4 to 12 years old with computed tomography(CT) data of thoracic spine were divided into three groups by age,each group 20 cases.Then they were examined by MIMICS software and the parameters of pedicle width(PW),pedicle height(PH),the length of screw path(SL),e angle and f angle were measured.Results The pedicle width,pedicle height,the SL of the pedicle generally showed a rising trend with advancing age.There were significant differences in the PW,PH and LS between the three group(P0.05).E angle of the pedicle generally showed a decreasing trend with increasing vertebral order,and e angle of T11 to T12 showed negative angle.The f angle showed a wavy descending trend.Conclusion There was significant difference in correlation parameters of thoracic pedicle with increasing age in healthy children,which indicates that the pedicle screw fixation for the kind of children should be performed based on 'the Principle of individualization' to improve the success rate of surgery.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Artificial knee joint replacement is the main surgical method for the treatment of severe knee joint deformation, but due to the limited existing knee prosthesis type. The stature of Fujian population in southeast China was shorter than that of the north. The size of artificial knee joint usual y did not fit for patients in clinic. The substitution effect was poor. OBJECTIVE:To measure the geometric parameters of proximal surface and cross-section of adult female tibia in southeastern area of Fujian Province of China, and provide basic data for design and replacement of artificial knee joint in females. METHODS:We chose 85 cases of dry female skeleton in southeastern area of Fujian Province of China, measured tibial plateau width, medial tibial plateau width and anteroposterior diameter, lateral tibial plateau width and anteroposterior diameter. We col ected clinical normal proximal tibial CT data of 36 patients (38-65 years old), with scan range of 30 cm (intercondylar eminence 30 cm) and layer thickness of 0.625 mm. Mimics 16.0 three-dimensional reconstruction software was used to measure above indexes and cut the reconstructed models with thickness of 3 mm, total y 10 layers. We divided its widest distance into four equal parts, and measured tibial anteroposterior diameter on three points. Statistical software was used to analyze the linear relationship between the data. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The experiment has successful y obtained geometric parameters of tibial specimens of adult females in southeastern area of Fujian province of China. Tibia platform inside and outside diameters were greater than the width inside and outside;inside and outside diameter and inside and outside width were similar. Ten segment planes of tibia, inside and outside diameters were always less than middle anteroposterior diameter. Three groups of data increased firstly, and then reduced. There were positive correlations between tibia length and width of the medial tibia platform, the lateral tibia platform width and anteroposterior diameter, the medial tibia platform width and anteroposterior diameter, and the lateral tibia platform width and anteroposterior diameter (P<0.05). These results suggested that relevant parameters of tibial plateau adult women in southeastern area of Fujian province of China showed some regular changes. Our results may provide quantitative reference data for the design and operation of artificial tibial plateau.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effects of Naoxuekang oral liquid combined with nimodipine on hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage and the influence on serum Tau protein,IGF-1 and hs-CRP in the patients. Methods:Totally 98 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups(n = 49). The patients in the control group were given nimodipine,while those in the observation group were given nimodipine and Naoxuekang oral liquid at the same time,and all the patients received 4-week treatment. The serum levels of Tau protein,IGF-1 and hs-CRP before and after the treatment were detected,and the national institutes of health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,hematoma volume and curative effect and adverse drug reaction were recorded as well. Results:Before the treatment,there was no significant differences in Tau protein,hs-CRP, IGF-1,NIHSS score and hematoma volume between the two groups(P > 0. 05). After the treatment,the levels of Tau protein and hs-CRP,NIHSS score and hematoma volume in both groups were decreased,and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group;the IGF-1 level in both groups was increased,and that in the observation group was higher than that in the control group;and all the differences had statistical significance(P 0. 05),while the effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(89. 8% vs 73. 5% ,P < 0. 05). Conclusion:Naoxuekang oral liquid combined with nimodipine can significantly reduce the serum levels of Tau protein and hs-CRP,and increase the serum level of IGF-1,and improve the symptoms of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage,which is beneficial to the rehabilitation of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To provide regional anatomical data for clinical application through observing the type, length and diameter of variation in the medial cubital vein of upper limb. Methods Dissected the medial cubital vein of upper limb in 35 (70 sides) adult cadavers (male 38, female 7), and observed the morphological structure. The length and vessel diameter of the medial cubital vein were measured. Results The variation of the medial cubital vein of upper limb was divided into six type. TypeⅠincluded 29 cases (41. 43%) of male and 8 cases (11. 43%) of female;Type Ⅱ included 14 cases (20. 00%) of male and 4 cases (5. 71%) of female;Type Ⅲ included 7 cases (10. 00%) of male and 2 cases (2. 86%) of female;TypeⅣincluded 3 cases (4. 29%) of male and 0 cases of female;TypeⅤincluded 2 cases (2. 86%) of male and 0 cases of female;TypeⅥincluded 1 cases (1. 43%) male and 0 cases of female. Conclusion This study enriched anthropology data of the medial cubital vein and it has the role of guiding in clinical applications.
