RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP) combined with anti-osteoporosis drug treatment of vertebral compression fracture with osteoporosis in elderly patients.Methods Fifty-three cases of elderly patients with thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture due to osteoporosis were selected as subjects,who were hospitalized in the Central Hospital of Sujiatun District of Shenyang from October 2010 to December 2014.They were randomly divided into the observation group (27 cases) and control group(26 cases).All patients were treated with PKP.The patients in the observation group were given the anti-osteoporosis therapy.Before and after operarion,the visual analogue scale(VAS) score was estimated and Cobb's angle of the vertebrae were measured.Postoperative complications,bone mineral density in the first half year after operation were recorded.Results VAS of treatment and of control group before operation were 7.92± 1.00 and 7.89±0.99,higher than those of one week after operation(2.68± 1.01,2.73 ± ± 1.03).Two groups of treatment and control had no significant difference(P>0.05),but before and one week after operation had significant difference(P=0.037,0.038).Cobb's angle of treatment and control group were (28.23±6.00) ° and (28.10±5.99) ° before operation,(10.90±2.99) ° and (11.09±3.00) ° one week after operation.Two groups of treatment and control had no significant difference(P>0.05),but before and one week after operation had significant difference (P =0.027,0.029).The bone mineral density in observation group was (0.79±0.12) g/cm2,higher than that in control group((0.65±0.06) g/cm2,P=0.048) in sixth months after operation.The duration of follow up after operetion were 12 months.Recurrence rate of vertebral compression fracture in control group was 15.4% (4/26),higher than that in observation group (0 (0/26)),and there was significant difference between two groups (P =0.041).Conclusion PKP combined with anti-osteoporosis treatment of vertebral compression fracture with osteoporosis can quickly relieve vertebral fracture pain and reduce the incidence of new vertebral fractures hair.The treatment with minimally invasive and orthopedic effect is worthy of clinical application.
RESUMO
Objective To study the reliability and validity of Chinese version of housebound scale in Chinese elderly people in community.Methods The housebound scale was amended and translated according to the Procedure of the European organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Group.Include two scales,which is whether is housebound and the reason of housebound.The reliability and validity of Chinese version of housebound scale were tested in a sample of 860 Chinese elderly people in two communities among 127 communities in Tangshan from October 2012 to March 2013.Reliability was evaluated using the splithalf reliability and internal consistency.Validity was assessed by content validity,discriminate validity and construct validity.Results The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the first subscales was 0.743,the split-half reliability was 0.856,the convergent validity ratio was 0.960,and the scale had good discriminate validity (P < 0.01).The Cronbach's αcoefficient of the second subscales was 0.853,the split-half reliability was 0.816,the convergent validity ratio was 0.910.Four factors body and mental factors,environmental factors,psychological and social factors,listening factors were extracted by a factor analysis,which explained 48.37% of the total variance.The loading value of each items in their respective common factor ranged from 0.42 to 0.82.Conclusion The housebound scale has better reliability and validity,which is available for the evaluation of housebound amnong elderly people.
