ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the influence of the perfusion quantity and distribution of bone cement by percutaneous ky-phoplasty(PKP) on the early treatment result of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures(OVCF) .Methods From May 2011 to May 2013 ,62 cases of osteoporotic fractures of thoracic or lumber vertebra were treated by PKP .CT scans were performed postoperatively to analysis the distribution of the bone cement in the vertebra .According to the bone cement distribution on the transverse plane CT film ,the results were classified into four degrees :excellence ,good ,fair and poor .The cases were followed-up regularly .Preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale(VAS) ,oswestry dysfunction index(ODI) ,height of the operated ver-tebra ,cobb angle ,the incidences of complications during and after the surgery were compared between groups of different degrees of bone cement distribution and different amount of bone cement injection .Results Among the 62 cases ,the follow-up time ranged from 3 to 36 months[average(10 .5 ± 5 .3)months] .In all of the cases ,there was statistically significant difference between the pre-operative and postoperative VAS scoring(P 0 .05) . In cases of bone cement injection more than 5 mL ,adjacent vertebra fractures happened in 3 cases 6 months postoperatively and 6 cases 12 months postoperatively .In cases of bone cement injection less than 4 mL ,there were only 2 cases of adjacent vertebra frac-tures happened 12 months posoperatively .The degree of vertebra height lost between the bone cement excellent group and poor group was statistically significant in 6 months and 12 months postoperatively .In cases when the distribution of bone cement was ex-cellent ,the improvement of pain and function was significantly different(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion OVCF is treated by PKP .Through conventional operation ,the ultra-early(within 3 months)efficacy is excellent ,in cases of different amount of bone cement injection and different degree of bone cement distribution .However ,with appropriate amount of bone cement ,the more eventfully and sym-metrically the distribution of the bone cement is ,the better of the early clinical results ,probably .
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the clinical effect of early postoperative enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition after radical ex-cision of gastric cancer to provide a better way of treating gastric cancers. Methods:Retrospective analysis of 140 gastric cancer pa-tients who were admitted to the PLA General Hospital between February 2009 and February 2011 was conducted. These patients were randomized into two groups based on the clinical trial, i.e., 70 in the control group received an intravenous parenteral nutrition for the treatment, and for the other 70 in the observation group, jejunostomy was done 1 to 5 days after the radical surgery by using Supportan as the enteral nutritional agent with a dose of at TPF-T 500 mL/d to 1 000 mL/d. The postoperative long-term survival rate of the pa-tients, the serum albumin, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase levels before and after the treatment, as well as the situation of IgA, IgG, IgM and CD4+cells, NK cells, and B lymphocytes in the blood at the first and the seventh day after surgery were observed in the patients. Results:After the implementation of early enteral nutrition in the observation group, the 1-and 3-year survival rates were 84.29% (59/70) and 61.43% (43/70) respectively, whereas in the control group, the survival rates were 64.29% (45/70) and 47.143% (33/70) respectively, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). At the first and seventh day after surgery, the serum albumin, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase levels were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group, with statistically significant differences between the two (P<0.05). Compared with the parameters in the observation group at the first day after surgery and those in the control groups at the eighth day after surgery, the levels of IgA , IgG, IgM and CD42+cells, NK cells, and B lymphocytes were significantly increased in the obser-vation group at the seventh day after surgery. The differences among them were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Early postoperative enteral nutrition for the gastric cancer patients undergoing radical surgery can be effective in improving the nutrition level of the patients and in enhancing their long-term survival rate, Thus, the treatment has value in clinical application.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To study the effect of thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) analogue, YM14673, on the brain edema and blood brain barrier after brain injury in rat.Methods The model of brain injury of rats was built by Feeney's methods. The Evans blue solution had been injected i.v. into the rats before the models were made. The rats were divided into four groups: normal, treated with saline, treated with YM14673(Ⅰ:0.1mg/kg and Ⅱ:1mg/kg). The water content in brain was measured 24 h after brain injured. The concentration of Evans blue in brain tissue and blood was measured with fluorometry.Results The rats treated with saline after traumatic injury showed significantly high water content compared with normal group(P<0.01)and the water content of the left hemisphere, which was hit straightly, was higher significantly than that of the right global(P<0.01). The brain water content decreased in the rats treated with YM14673 in all global(P<0.05).There was no significant different between the treated group Ⅰ and groupⅡ.After brain injury, the concentration of Evans blue in brain tissue showed a higher level contrasted with normal group. YM14673 did not influence the concentration of Evans blue in brain tissue. Conclusion YM14673 can decrease the brain edema after brain injury but it cannot decrease the permeability of blood brain barrier.
