ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo study the effect of tetramethylpyrazine cooperated with autogenous periosteum graft on fibrous scar formation in the epidural space after laminectomy. Methods48 SD rats were divided randomly into 4 groups. Laminectomy was performed in lumbar 2 segment, and the exposed duras were covered with saline solution (group A), tetramethylpyrazine (group B), autogenous periosteum (group C), and tetramethylpyrazine and autogenous periosteum (group D) respectively. 12 weeks postoperatively, they were evaluated with the gross and histopathological observation, biochemistry examination. ResultsThe assessment of Rydell-Balazs and Nussbaum's Criterion of group B, C, D were obviously better than that of group A (P<0.01), and that of group D was superior to group B and C (P<0.05), no significant difference between group B and C (P>0.05). ConclusionTetramethylpyrazine cooperated with autogenous periosteum graft has a better effect on prevention peridural adhesion after laminectomy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the efficacy of selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR)and post-operative rehabilitation training in treating cerebral palsy. Methods The 100 patients with cerebral palsy were randomly divided into two groups. In group A, the patients were treated by SPR, and in group B, the patients received rehabilitation training after SPR for 12 months. One year later the curative efficacy of all patients was evaluated and compared between the two groups.Results The effective rate was 52% and 76% in groups A and B respectively. Conclusion It is very important that the patients receive systematic rehabilitation training after SPR so as to gain a most satisfied functional recovery.
