ACDF钢板固定术与ZERO-P内固定术对颈椎病的疗效比较

目的比较前路ACDF钢板内固定术(A组)与ZERO-P内固定术(B组)治疗单节段颈椎病的疗效。方法对我科2011年6月~2013年1月期间42例颈前路椎间融合术的颈椎病患者进行回顾性分析。评价指标:症状改善、影像学、手术时间及术中出血。结果 38例患者术后获得随访14~28个月,平均22个月。24例A组用时(70±10)分钟,14例B组约为(55±10)分钟,术中出血量均约为40~60ml,两组手术时间差异有统计学意义(0.05),术中出血量差异无统计学意义(0.05)。两组术后JOA和VAS评分,差异有统计学意义(0.05),但同期两者比较差异无统计学意义(0.05)。两组术后X片表现差异无统计学意义(0.05),但术后1年邻近椎体间退变有统计学意义(0.05)。结论两种手术均能获得满意的临床疗效,出血量少,术野清晰,创伤小,术后并发症少。但颈前路ZERO-P内固定术相较于钢板内固定术更有优势,前者在保证同样的手术疗效的同时,且具有手术时间短,暴露范围小,操作简便,确切的固定效果。     

Reactivity of human sera in a sensitive, high-throughput pseudovirus-based papillomavirus neutralization assay for HPV16 and HPV18

Sensitive high-throughput neutralization assays, based upon pseudoviruses carrying a secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter gene, were developed and validated for human papillomavirus (HPV)16, HPV18, and bovine papillomavirus 1 (BPV1). SEAP pseudoviruses were produced by transient transfection of codon-modified papillomavirus structural genes into an SV40 T antigen expressing line derived from 293 cells, yielding sufficient pseudovirus from one flask for thousands of titrations. In a 96-well plate format, in this initial characterization, the assay was reproducible and appears to be as sensitive as, but more specific than, a standard papillomavirus-like particle (VLP)-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The neutralization assay detected type-specific HPV16 or HPV18 neutralizing antibodies (titers of 160-10240) in sera of the majority of a group of women infected with the corresponding HPV type, but not in virgin women. Sera from HPV16 VLP vaccinees had high anti-HPV16 neutralizing titers (mean: 45000; range: 5120-163840), but no anti-HPV18 neutralizing activity. The SEAP pseudovirus-based neutralization assay should be a practical method for quantifying potentially protective antibody responses in HPV natural history and prophylactic vaccine studies.

Influence of Fluorescent Labelling of Polystyrene Particles on Phagocytic Uptake,Surface Hydrophobicity,and Plasma Protein Adsorption

Purpose. To investigate the influence of fluorescent labelling of polystyrene particles on phagocytic uptake, surface hydrophobicity and protein adsorption. Methods. Phagocytic uptake was analysed using chemiluminescence. Hydrophobicity was quantified by adsorption measurements of a hydrophobic dye. Protein adsorption was evaluated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Results. Commercially available fluorescently labelled particles showed marked differences when compared to unlabelled particles: phagocytic uptake and surface hydrophobicity of labelled particles were diminished. Also the plasma protein adsorption pattern was found to be different from the unlabelled particles: for example, the amount of fibrinogen adsorbed was strongly reduced on the labelled particles. On the other hand, some unknown proteins could be detected on the fluorescently marked particles. In contrast, plain polystyrene particles and labelled ones could be successfully synthesised by Paulke which did not show any considerable differences in phagocytic uptake, surface hydrophobicity and protein adsorption. Polysorbate 20 added as stabilizer to particle suspensions led to completely different behaviour of the particles: the particles showed altered protein adsorption patterns, dominated by immunoglobulins and especially by apolipoproteins. Furthermore, these particles were not phagocytized at all. Conclusions. Surface hydrophobicity and phagocytic uptake in vitro as well as the interactions with plasma proteins of commercially available polystyrene particles were strongly affected by fluorescent labelling. Particles synthesised by Paulke remained unchanged after labelling. The results show the importance of thorough surface characterization for using particles in test systems in vitro and in vivo.

Endoscopic Foreheadplasty: Temporary vs. Permanent Fixation

The introduction of fiberoptic endoscopes has fostered the development of minimally invasive aesthetic facial plastic surgery. The application of this new technology is most widely used in rejuvenation of the mildly to moderately ptotic brow. The concept of endoscopic foreheadplasty is based upon the following maneuvers. First, a sub- or supraperiosteal dissection of the parietal, occipital, and frontal scalp to the level of the superior and lateral orbital rims and zygomatic arch must be accomplished. Second, incision and release of the superior and lateral orbital periosteum are performed. Third, selective myotomies of the brow depressor muscles are completed. These maneuvers allow the brow to be permanently elevated into a desired position following fixation and healing. A significant limitation of this procedure appears to be the ability to predict the long-term forehead and brow elevation. We believe that permanent fixation is one of the best methods to ensure that the desired elevation is maintained. We contrast two series of patients, one with temporary fixation technique and the other with permanent fixation. We review the results and discuss the rationale and advantages of permanent fixation.     

Preliminary study of electrocautery smoke particles produced in vitro and during laparoscopic procedures

Background: The objective of this preliminary study was to describe the particles contained in cautery smoke produced during five laparoscopic procedures and verify the collection method during three laboratory experiments on ex vivo animal tissue. Methods: A cascade impactor collected the smoke according to particle size, and particle weights were calculated on an electronic microbalance. Electron microscopic analysis and energy dispersive X-ray evaluation were used to determine particle morphology and elemental composition. Results: The particles, distributed according to size on the seven rotating trays of the impactor, had diameters ranging from 0.05 to >25 m, with most being 0.1–1 m. In vitro experiments yielded more particles, especially larger (>5 m) ones, than the surgical procedures, because the cauterized specimens could be placed much closer to the cascade impactor in the laboratory environment, eliminating most obstacles to particle recovery. In the laparoscopic surgery patients, larger particles, because of their physical properties, were more likely to remain trapped in the abdomen or to drop off in the collection apparatus. Uniformly, two populations of particles were demonstrated—either large, irregular fragments (2–25 m) rich in carbon and oxygen, suggesting structural cellular components, or small homogeneous spheres (0.1–0.5 m) composed of sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium salts. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the presence of breathable areosols and cell-size fragments in the cautery smoke produced during laparoscopic procedures. Their exact chemical composition and potential adverse effects for patients and personnel are not known.     

Correlation of freeze-fracture and scanning electron microscopy of epiphyseal chondrocytes

Summary Chondrocytes in epiphyseal cartilage were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using freeze-fracture techniques. Freeze-fracture replicas showed large numbers of fingerlike, 0.11–0.15 m diameter, projections from the chondrocyte surface, with numerous 95–180 Å diameter intramembranous particles associated with both the cell membrane surface and these projections. With SEM, these cytoplasmic projections were also obvious, but appeared collapsed into clusters of globular-shaped projections on the surface of the chondrocytes. With freeze-fracture techniques, in which shrinkage artifacts were essentially eliminated, the cytoplasmic projections were often seen in intimate contact with the extracapsular matrix. However, with chondrocytes prepared by both SEM and conventional TEM, there was evidence of shrinkage, the cytoplasmic projections having little contact with the extracapsular matrix. These findings show that the cytoplasmic processes are not artifacts of tissue processing and provide morphological evidence in support of the hypothesis that matrix vesicles are of cellular origin.Correlation of Freeze-Fracture and Scanning Electron Microscopy of Epiphyseal Chondrocytes
