THE OPERATIVE TREATMENT OF SPINAL FRACTURE-DISLOCATION WITHOUT NEUROLOGIC DEFICITS

Objective. To evaluate the results of operative treatment of spinal fracture-dislocation without neumlogic deficits. Metods. Eighteen patients with spinal fracture-dislocation were neurologically intact at the time of injury, and all were treated operatively. The fracture sites were:8 cases in cervical spine, 3 cases in thoracic spine, and 7 cases in lumbar spine. Eight patients with cervical injuries had variant degrees of forward slide and kyphotic deformity. Of the 10 thoracic and lumbar fractures, one had lateral dislocation, 4 cases with kyphotic deformities, 5 cases withspinal canal compromise averaged 50% (ranging from 40% to 70% ).Results. The aveiage period of follow-up was 4.4 years with a range of 11 months to 13 years. All the patients returned to full-time work. No patient developed neurologic deterioration. Kyphotic deformity was corrected in the 4 cases, and no progressive kyphosis was noted. There was no operation-related complication. The averaged post-opera-five hospitalization time was 13 days. Conclusions. Despite the rare incidence of spinal fracture-dislocation without neurologic deficits, we suggested that kind of fracture be considered unstable fracture because of its potential risk of delayed neurologic deterioration and kyphotic deformity, and be treated operatively to restore the sagittal alignment and the stability of the spine.     

INHIBITORY EFFECT OF FLUVASTATIN ON AORTIC INTIMAL THICKENING IN NORMOCHOLESTEROLEMIC RABBITS

Objective, The anti-atherosclerotic effect of fluvastatin at doses insufficient to lower serum cholesterol on the catheter-induced intimal thickening and possible mechanism were investigated in abdominal aorta of rabbits. Methods. Fifty-six rabbits were randomly divided into eight groups( n = 7, each). Fluvastatin was given mixed with food at daily dose of 8mg/kg starting 5 days before catheterization. Light microscope, immanohistochemistry, transmis-sion electron microscope and RT-PCR assay were applied to assess vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and apoptosis, as well as oncogene expression in vascular wall. Results. At day 10 and day 15 after catheter induced denudation intima/media( I/M) thickness ratio was obviously higher, and also the percentage of PCNA-positive cells and TUNEL-positive cells in media was significantly higher compared with controls. The intimal hyperplasia was mostly composed of α-SM-actin-pesitive cells. In rabbits given flu-vastatin I/M ratio and the percentage of these positive cells significantly decreased compared with those without fluvas-tatin.The overexpression of proto-oncogene H-ras mRNA and decreased expression of anti-oncogene p53 mRNA were found after vascular injury, whereas fluvastatin significantly reduced H-ras mRNA and increased p53 mRNA expres-sion. Conclusion. Proliferation of VSMC in the media and the migration to the intima can be inhibited, and apoptosis of VSMC be induced by short-term use of fluvastatin after balloon catheter denudation, independent of serum lipid change. The underlying mechanism is presumably associated With the influence of fluvastatin on oncogene expression in the injured vascular Wall.

Characterization of connectin-like proteins of obliquely striated muscle of a polychaete (Annelida)

Summary In obliquely striated muscle of polychaete, Neanthes sp., three kinds of connectin (titin)-like high molecular weight proteins, 4000 kDa, 1200 kDa and 700 kDa, were detected by SDS gel electrophoresis and immunoblots using antibodies to vertebrate skeletal muscle connectin and antiserum to the protein in question. The 700 kDa protein was isolated and characterized as a sheet-rich filament 170 nm long and 4 nm wide. Using polyclonal antibodies to the 700 kDa protein, the binding of the immunogold to the thick filament was only demonstrated in high ionic strength relaxing solution which solubilized some myosin. This observation suggested that the 700 kDa protein was localized below the layers of myosin in the thick filament and this localization is different from that of twitchin of C. elegans bodywall muscle that is on the surface of thick filament. The 4000 kDa protein was identified as a very thin filament linking the thick filament to the dense body. The very thin filaments were visualized in gelsolin-treated actin filament-free fibres. The 1200 kDa protein was located in the periphery of the dense body. A model of the elastic filament in polychaete bodywall muscle is presented.     

Accumulation of L-[2-(F-18)]fluorophenylalanine in peri-infarct area in a patient with acute cerebral infarction

We studied the brain uptake of amino acid in a patient with acute cerebral infarction with L-[2-(F-18)] fluorophenylalanine and positron emission tomography. The increased accumulation of the ligand was specifically found in the peri-infarct area where oxygen metabolism was still maintained but decreased later in the 72-day follow-up period. The kinetic analysis revealed that increased accumulation was not due to increased transport from the blood to the brain but to delayed washout from the brain to the blood. Although the mechanism is still unknown, abnormally high accumulation of L-[F-18]fluorophenylalanine may predict delayed neuronal changes after ischemic insults of the brain.
