大剂量甲基强的松龙在伴有严重脊髓受压的脊髓型颈椎病围手术期的应用

目的:探讨大剂量甲基强的松龙(methylprednisolone,MP)在伴有严重脊髓受压的脊髓型颈椎病患者围手术期应用的价值。方法:选取有严重脊髓受压的颈椎病患者62例,采用颈前路椎体次全切除减压植骨内固定或后路单开门减压椎管扩大成形术治疗。按照围手术期是否使用MP分为MP治疗组和对照组。MP治疗组38例,术中操作达椎前或后路达椎板时静脉给予MP30mg/kg,15min滴完;45min后给予5.4mg/kg/h维持23h,术后第1～3天均按80mg/次静脉滴注,每天2次;术后第4天停用。对照组24例,施行同样减压术,于手术当时开始常规使用地塞米松(DXM)治疗,10mg/次,每天1次,应用3d。比较两组患者术后1周内脊髓功能JOA评分和相关并发症发生率。结果:术前MP治疗组及对照组患者JOA评分分别为6.9±2.3分和7.5±2.7分,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。术后MP治疗组JOA评分为11.9±3.2分,改善率为49.5%;对照组为9.1±2.1分,改善率为16.8%,两组间比较有显著性差异(P<0.01)。消化道溃疡、感染等并发症发生率两组间均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。术后对照组中4例出现症状加重,经对症处理后1例完全恢复,2例肢体仍有麻痛感,1例肌力未完全恢复正常。结论:围手术期大剂量使用MP在伴有严重脊髓压迫的颈椎病患者的减压治疗中具有明显改善神经功能的作用,可有效地预防由于手术所造成的神经刺激症状,相关并发症比较少见。

下颈椎经关节螺钉联合侧块或椎弓根螺钉固定的效果

Objective To discuss the effect of transarticular screws combined with lateral mass screws or pedicle screws through posterior approach in the lower cervical spine. Methods From February 2003 to October 2007, 22 patients were treated using transarticular screws internal fixation combined with lateral mass screws or pedicle screws in Axis plating system and Vertex system. There were cervical fracture and dislocation in 13 patients, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in 4, cervical canal stenosis associated with dentoid process fracture in 1, and cervical disc herniation associated with cervical stenosis in 4 patients. Lamina or facet bone grafting were used to achieve a long-term stability, with decompression and anterior approach or not. The starting point for screw insertion was located 1 mm medial to the midpoint of the lateral mass and the direction of the screw was 40° caudally in the sagittal plane and 20° laterally in the axial plane. Results All screws insertion was successful. A total of 45 transarticular screws were inserted, with 2 in C4,5, 39 in C5,6 and 4 in C6,7. A total of 12 lateral mass screws were inserted, with 6 in C3 and 6 in C4. A total of 41 pedicle screws were inserted, with 4 in C2, 2 in C3 and 6 in C4, 21 in C7 and 8 in T1. There was no complication related to screw insertion, such as injury to the vertebral artery, nerve roots or spine cord. The follow-up period ranged from 10 months to 3 years and 8 months (mean 17 months). All cases got bone fusion. Only one instance of screw partial backout was identified, but fusion was achieved in all pa-tients. In the follow-up period, only one instance of screw partial backout was identified, but fusion was achieved in all patients. Conclusion The combined use of transarticular screws and lateral mass screws or pedicle screws fixation in the lower cervical spine can enlarge the advantages of strong stability,relatively simple, and reduce operating risk when performed appropriately.     

无骨折脱位型颈脊髓损伤再手术原因分析

目的:探讨无骨折脱位型颈脊髓损伤患者再次手术治疗的原因,总结经验教训。方法:对1993年1月～2003年2月间13例经再次手术治疗的无骨折脱位型颈脊髓损伤患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析,根据其影像学表现,分析致伤的病理基础与形成因素的特点。结果:患者再手术的原因主要有:(1)前次手术入路选择不当(8例);(2)前次手术中脊髓减压不彻底(5例)。再手术后均获随访(平均43个月),神经功能得到了一定的改善(JOA评分改善率平均为40.6%)。结论:手术入路选择不当和减压不彻底是无骨折脱位型颈脊髓损伤再手术的主要原因,再次手术治疗应针对此类损伤致伤特点,选择合理的手术入路,并矫正前次手术不当之处,可获得一定的疗效。

Polymorphism p53 codon-72 and invasive cervical cancer: a meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVES: Although some studies have reported that the arginine isoform on codon 72 of p53 increases the susceptibility to invasive cervical cancer, such data remain controversial. The objective of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for such a relationship. METHODS: Our data sources consisted of a MEDLINE search of the literature published before December 2002, bibliography review, and expert consultation. Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Information on sample size, study design, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and method of genotype determination was abstracted by two reviewers using a standardized protocol. The overall odds ratio (OR) of the p53 gene on invasive cervical cancer was estimated using the Mantel-Haenzel method. RESULTS: The overall OR (95% confidence interval) for cervical cancer among those with the homozygous mutant (Arg/Arg) was 1.2 (1.1-1.3, P=0.001) compared with those with the heterozygous mutant (Arg/Pro). By a cellular type of cervical cancer, the overall OR among those with Arg/Arg was statistically significant in adenocarcinomas (1.7, 1.1-2.6, P=0.024), but not in squamous cell carcinomas (1.1, 0.9-1.2, P=0.960), compared with Pro/Pro. Compared with Arg/Pro, the OR among those with Arg/Arg was statistically significant in HPV types 16 (1,5, 1.2-2.0, P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the p53 gene was associated with increased risk for invasive cervical cancer. However, the risk varied by country, cellular, and HPV type.     

Appearances of posterior osteophytes after sound anterior interbody fusion in the cervical spine: a high-definition computed myelographic study

Summary Whether posterior osteophytes in the cervical spine resorb after anterior interbody fusion is controversial. Previous studies have only used plain films. In order to study remodelling, a retrospective study of 53 patients using high-definition CT was performed. There was no evidence of remodelling or resorption of osteophytes and persistent osteophytes continued to deform the spinal cord for up to 12 years after fusion. The importance of this in relation to cervical spinal surgery is that every effort should be made to remove posterior osteophytes during anterior interbody fusion.

Fusion and failure following anterior cervical plating with dynamic or rigid plates: 6-months results of a multi-centric, prospective, randomized, controlled study

Anterior cervical plate fixation is an approved surgical technique for cervical spine stabilization in the presence of anterior cervical instability. Rigid plate design with screws rigidly locked to the plate is widely used and is thought to provide a better fixation for the treated spinal segment than a dynamic design in which the screws may slide when the graft is settling. Recent biomechanical studies showed that dynamic anterior plates provide a better graft loading possibly leading to accelerated spinal fusion with a lower incidence of implant complications. This, however, was investigated in vitro and does not necessarily mean to be the case in vivo, as well. Thus, the two major aspects of this study were to compare the speed of bone fusion and the rate of implant complications using either rigid- or dynamic plates. The study design is prospective, randomized, controlled, and multi-centric, having been approved by respective ethic committees of all participating sites. One hundred and thirty-two patients were included in this study and randomly assigned to one of the two groups, both undergoing routine level-1- or level-2 anterior cervical discectomy with autograft fusion receiving either a dynamic plate with screws being locked in ap - position (ABC, Aesculap, Germany), or a rigid plate (CSLP, Synthes, Switzerland). Segmental mobility and implant complications were compared after 3- and 6 months, respectively. All measurements were performed by an independent radiologist. Mobility results after 6 months were available for 77 patients (43 ABC/34 CSLP). Mean segmental mobility for the ABC group was 1.7 mm at the time of discharge, 1.4 mm after 3 months, and 0.8 mm after 6 months. For the CSLP- group the measurements were 1.0, 1.8, and 1.7 mm, respectively. The differences of mean segmental mobility were statistically significant between both groups after 6 months (P = 0.02). Four patients of the CSLP-group demonstrated surgical hardware complications, whereas no implant complications were observed within the ABC-group (P = 0.0375). Dynamic plate designs provided a faster fusion of the cervical spine compared with rigid plate designs after prior spinal surgery. Moreover, the rate of implant complications was lower within the group of patients receiving a dynamic plate. These interim results refer to a follow-up period of 6 months after prior spinal surgery. Further investigations will be performed 2 years postoperatively.
