ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Jintiange capsules combined with zoledronic acid on bone mineral densi-ty(BMD),VAS scores and lab indexes of patients with postmenopausal diabetic osteoporosis. METHODS:140 patients with post-menopausal diabetic osteoporosis were divided into control group and treatment group according to randomized blocks,with 70 cas-es in each group. Both group received 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 100 ml intravenously before and after treatment,and were given vitamin D and calcium. Control group was given Zoledronic acid injection 5 mg intravenously for more than 15 min,once ev-ery 4 weeks. Treatment group was additionally given Jintiange capsules 1.2 g,po,tid,on the basis of control group. Both groups received 6 months of treatment. BMD,VAS score,lab indexes before and after treatment and the occurrence of ADR were com-pared between 2 groups. RESULTS:After treatment,BMD of 2 groups were increased significantly compared to before treatment, and the treatment group was significantly higher than the control group,with statistical significance (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Jintiange capsules combined with Zoledronic acid injection in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis patients with diabetes can significantly in-crease BMD,relieve pain and improve lab index levels. Moreover,it doesn’t increase the risk of ADR.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate prevention and treatment of cerebrospinal fluid leakage (CSFL)in anterior cervical spine surgery for severe ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).Methods A retrospective analysis of 47 patients with severe cervical OPLL (thickness of the ossified mass > 5 mm,spinal stenosis >50%),who had undergone anterior cervical surgery between January 2008 and May 2011,was conducted.Fifteen cases of dural defect were found intraoperatively,including 11 males and 4 females,aged from 40 to 68 years (average,55.6 years).Preoperative CT scans were earefully analyzed.During the operation,the ossified mass was excised or floated and the arachnoid was reserved in order to reduce dural damage.Dural defects were repaired by suturing or covering with muscle.After surgery,patients were confined to bed rest to allow for drainage or puncture.Results All 15 patients were followed up for 12 to 18months (average,14.8 months).After operation,10 patients recovered fully without CSFL.Five patients developed CSFL,including 4 cases of spinal dural mater injury that healed within 4-6 days with bed rest and pressure dressing,and 1 case of cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst that disappeared within 3 weeks with repeat puncture and aspiration treatment.No cases required secondary operations or shunt placement.All cases exhibited good neurological improvement.Conclusion During anterior surgical treatment for severe cervical OPLL,CSFL can be effectively prevented through eareful analysis of preoperative CT images,meticulous operative technique,reasonable handling of the ossified mass and positive repair of dural damage.Moreover,postoperative bed rest and drainage are effective to treat CSFL.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of the resection of cervical posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) in Bryan cervical disc arthroplasty. Methods Thirty-one patients underwent Bryan cervical disc implantation only in one level from August 2006 to January 2009 were investigated in this study. Cervical PLL was preserved in 14 patients, but not in other 17 patients. The clinical (JOA score,VAS score for neck and arm pain) and radiographic parameters (the FSU angle, ROM and diameter of the spinal cord) were compared between the two groups. Results No differences were found in terms of age, affected segment, gender, follow-up period, operation time and blood loss between the two groups. Patients underwent removal of cervical PLL were significantly superior to those underwent reservation of cervical PLL in term of clinical outcomes. There were no differences between the two groups with regard to the increase of FSU angle and ROM. However, the diameter of the spinal cord had a significant increase in patients underwent removal of cervical PLL. No severe complication was found in the two groups. Conclusion Removal of the cervical PLL is beneficial for the clinical outcomes and does not have an impact on the angle and ROM of the affected segment. The procedure is safe and feasible.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of modified eggshell technique through posterior approach for the treatment of hard thoracic disc herniation. Methods From January 2006 to June 2009, 22 patients admitted for hard thoracic disc herniation were reviewed, including 13 males and 9 females, with an average age of 49.5 years (range, 33-69). The courses of disease were 11 months on the average (range, 3-18 ). The lesions located in T8-9 for 4 cases, T9-10 for 9, T10-11 for 7, T11-12 for 2. Each of the patients underwent X-ray, CT scanning and MRI examination before surgery. There were 16 cases of central type, and 6 cases of paracentral type. All patients were treated surgically by modified eggshell technique via posterior approach. Results The mean operative time was 210 min (range, 180-300 min), with a mean blood loss of 860 ml (range, 600-1200 ml). All surgeries were performed successfully without neurological symptoms aggravation. Surgical complications included dural laceration in 2 cases, both dural lacerations were repaired intraoperatively, epidural hematoma in 1 case with lower extremity neurological symptoms, full neurologic recovery was observed after surgical removal of the hematoma. All patients were followed up for average 27.5 months (range, 12-54). The mean JOA score increased from 3.36±1.79 before operation to 7.45±2.99 after the operation at 12 months follow up, and the mean improvement rate of neurological status was 58.3%±30.7%. There was significant difference in JOA score before and after surgery(t=10. 12,P<0.01 ).The results of 14 cases were ranked as good, 6 as fair, 2 as unchanged, and none as worsened. All cases obtained bony fusion without instrument failure. Conclusion Modified eggshell technique enable ventral and dorsal spinal decompression from the posterior approach in cases of hard thoracic disc herniation, with reduction of the rate of postoperative paralysis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate whether increased signal intensity (ISI) can help assess the prognosis in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) by means of measuring the ratio of signal intensity. Methods A retrospective study with two or more years follow-up of 57 patients with CSM underwent posterior cervical decompression were carried out from February 2000 to February 2006. 1.5T MRI was performed in all patients before surgery. T2-weighted images (T2WI) of sagittal ISI on the cervical spinal cord were obtained, For those with ISI, the values of signal intensity of the spinal cord on T2-weighted image (T2Wl) and TI-weighted image (TIWI) of sagittal view were measured at the location where there was ISI on T2WI, and the ratio of signal intensity of T2WI / T1WI (T2/T1 ratio) at the same level of the spinal cord and with similar area was calculated on the computer. Patients with ISI were subdivided into 2 groups according to T2/T1 ratio. Results ISI was not observed in 20 patients (group 1). The range of T2/T1 ratio of other 37 patients was from 1.28 to 2.80 and the median was 1.65. Nineteen patients were divided into group 2 (ratio range, 1.28-1.63), and 18 into group 3 (ratio range, 1.67-2.80). Significant differences were noted in age at surgery, duration of disease, recovery rate, pre and preoperative JOA score among three different groups.Spearman's rank correlation showed that T2/T1 ratio was positively correlated with age at surgery and duration of disease, negatively with pre- and postoperative JOA score and recovery rate. Conclusion Patients with ISI and higher T2/T1 ratio tend to have relatively severe preoperative state of illness and poor prognosis after surgical intervention. Spinal cord signal intensity change on T2-weighted MRI might be a predictor of a poor outcome in terms of functional recovery rate in patients underwent operations for multi-level CSM.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the appropriate surgical approach in the management of cervical cord injury following ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with cervical cord injury following ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament who received surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed. According to Frankel grades, two patients were at grade A, three at grade B, 14 at grade C and six at grade D. The surgical procedures consisted of anterior decompression (12 patients), posterior decompression (8 patients) and combined posteroanterior decompression (5 patients). Results No iatrogenic injury of great vessels, trachea, esophagus or spinal cord occurred. All the patients were followed up for 15-86 months (mean 38.3 months). All segments with anterior fixation attained solid fusion, without implants loosening or breakage. No reelosed open-door was found in patients who received posterior laminoplasty. The spinal function got improved in 21 patients, and a relief of pain or numb of the upper limb was attained in four patients whose spinal cord injury was not cured. Conclusions The surgical outcome of cervical cord injury following ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament is satisfactory. It is important to select a suitable surgical approach according to the imaging manifestations associated with the general conditions of the patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitative treatment for severe cervical spondylotic myeiopathy after combined posterior-anterior surgery. Methods Fifty-four patients (mean age, 59.5) who had undergone combined posterlor-anterior surgery of the cervical spine due to severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy were studied with an average follow-up of 38.7 months. All the patients were allocated into either a rehabilitation treatment group (28 patients) or a control group (26 patients). Neurological function in the two groups was assessed using the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) grading system. In addition, the status of axial symptoms, wound healing and post-operative complications were also evaluated. Results The bone grafts completely fused in both groups. All of the wounds in the rehabilitation treatment group healed without any infection. Three wounds were infected in the control group, but were cured by prompt treatment. Two patients in the rehabilitation group and 9 in the control group suffered laryngeal edema. There was no significant difference between the two groups before the operation with regard to their JOA scores, which significantly increased postoperation in both groups. In the rehabilitation treatment group, the postoperation JOA scores were significantly higher than in the control group. At the same time, there were significantly fewer patients with neck axial symptoms in the rehabilitation treatment group than that in the control group (25.0% versus 69.2% , P < 0.01 ). Conclusions Systematic rehabilitation treatment pro-and post-operation of patients with severe cervical spondylotie myelopathy can accelerate neurological recovery and help prevent postoperative complications and neck axial symptoms.
