Comparative Study of Modified Posterior Operation to Treat Kümmell's Disease

The present study aimed at examining the curative effect of modified posterior operation on treatment of Kümmell''s disease.About 30 patients of Kümmell''s disease with complete image and clinical data treated during June 2004 to July 2013 were conducted with anterior and posterior approaches, respectively. Kyphotic Cobb angle, fractured vertebra wedge angle, and the anterior and posterior heights of fractured vertebra were all measured through x-ray before and after operation, and the pain visual analog scale (VAS) was determined for evaluating the effect of operations. The injury and restoration of neurological function were assessed using Frankel classification.Patients in group A were treated with anterior operation, whereas group B was posterior operation. Postoperatively, VAS score, kyphotic Cobb angle, anterior vertebra height, and pathologic vertebra wedge angle were all significantly improved in patients with Kümmell''s disease receiving modified posterior operation (group B). Similar results were also observed in patients with anterior operation. The improvement of VAS and correction rate of kyphotic Cobb angle indicated equivalent effects of posterior and anterior operations. Meanwhile, alleviated neurological function damage was observed in 2 groups. Relevant factor analysis illustrated that there was no significant correlation of the severity and improvement rate of pain symptoms with age, medical history, anterior and posterior vertebra heights, kyphotic Cobb angle, and pathological vertebra wedge angle.Compared with traditional anterior approach, modified posterior operation, adopting transpedicular vertebral body grafting combined with vertebral pedicle screw fixation, could produce equivalent effects on kyphosis correction, pain relief, and improvement of neurological function in patients with Kümmell''s disease.     

Evaluation of Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis After Short Segment Decompression and Fusion

The objective of this study was to investigate short segment decompression of degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) and the efficiency of fusion treatment.After DLS surgery, the patients were retrospectively reviewed using the VAS (visual analog scale) and ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) to assess clinical outcomes. All patients underwent posterior lumbar decompressive laminectomy, pedicle screw internal fixation, and posterolateral bone graft fusion surgery. Radiographic measurements included the scoliotic Cobb angle, the fused Cobb angle, the anterior intervertebral angle (AIA), the sagittal intervertebral angle (SIA), and lumbar lordosis angle. The relationships between these parameters were examined by bivariate Pearson analysis and linear regression analysis.Preoperatively, the Cobb angle at the scoliotic segment was 15.4°, which decreased to 10.2° immediately following surgery (P < 0.05). The AIA significantly increased by the last follow-up (4.4 ± 3.4) compared with pre- and postoperative values (2.5 ± 2.8 and 2.2 ± 2.4, respectively; P < 0.05). However, the scoliotic Cobb angle and the AIA did not correlate with the VAS or ODI scores. At the final follow-up, no patients had pseudoarthrosis or internal instrumentation-related complications.Short fusion surgical treatment results in limited DLS correction, with correction loss over time. The AIA between the upper adjacent segment and proximal fused vertebra continues to increase postoperatively, which does not exacerbate clinical symptoms, as reflected by the low reoperation rates for repairing degeneration at adjacent levels.     

深圳市制造企业90后新招产线员工心理弹性、应对方式与心理健康间的关系

目的探讨深圳市3家制造企业新招90后产线员工心理弹性、应对方式和心理健康间是否存在某种关系。方法在深圳市3家制造企业选取入职一周的新招90后产线员工,以其入职日期为单位进行整群抽样。应用心理弹性量表CDRISC、简易应对方式问卷SCSQ以及一般健康问卷GHQ-20三个量表分别测量其心理弹性、应对方式以及心理健康,并利用结构方程模型软件Amos 17.0进行路径分析。结果心理弹性与心理健康呈正相关关系(P<0.01);心理弹性和心理健康与积极应对呈正相关关系(P<0.01);心理弹性和心理健康与消极应对呈负相关关系(P<0.01);结构方程模型结果表明:心理弹性既可以直接影响心理健康,又可以通过积极应对和消极应对的中介作用间接影响心理健康。结论深圳市制造企业新招产线员工的心理弹性、应对方式与心理健康间存在线性相关关系,且心理弹性通过积极应对和消极应对对心理健康起着部分间接的作用。     

腹腔镜胆囊切除术患者围术期多项血清应激状态相关指标变化观察

目的:分析腹腔镜胆囊切除术的临床疗效,分析其对血清应激指标的影响。方法:将160例来我院行胆囊切除术的患者随机分为两组,对照组和观察组各80例。对照组采用开腹胆囊切除术,观察组则采用腹腔镜胆囊切除术。比较两组间手术时间、术中出血量、肠功能恢复时间以及住院天数差异,比较治疗前后两组患者间血清应激相关指标皮质醇(COR)、去甲肾上腺素(NE)、促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)、多巴胺(DA)以及胰岛素(INS)、三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T3)、甲状腺素(T4)、促甲状腺激素释放激素(TSH)水平差异。结果:观察组患者手术时间、术中出血量、肠功能恢复时间以及住院天数均显著少于对照组(P<0.05)。血清COR、NE、ACTH、DA和INS、T3水平在围手术期均发生了显著变化,各项指标均在胆囊分离时就明显升高,术后24 h开始下降(P<0.05);术后观察组上述指标均显著低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:腹腔镜胆囊切除术对机体应激反应影响小于开腹手术,更利于患者术后康复。     

Biomechanical behavior of brain injury caused by sticks using finite element model and Hybrid-III testing

Objective: To study the biomechanical mechanism of head injuries beaten with sticks, which is common in the battery or assaultive cases. Methods: In this study, the Hybrid-III anthropomorphic test device and finite element model (FEM) of the total human model for safety (THUMS) head were used to determine the biomechanical response of head while being beaten with different sticks. Total eight Hybrid-III tests and four finite element simulations were conducted. The contact force, resultant acceleration of head center of gravity, intracranial pressure and von Mises stress were calculated to determine the different biomechanical behavior of head with beaten by different sticks. Results: In Hybrid-III tests, the stick in each group demonstrated the similar kinematic behavior under the same loading condition. The peak values of the resultant acceleration for thick iron stick group, thin iron stick group, thick wooden stick group and thin wooden stick group were 203.4 g, 221.1 g, 170.5 g and 122.2 g respectively. In finite element simulations, positive intracranial pressure was initially observed in the frontal comparing with negative intracranial pressure in the contra-coup site. Subsequently the intracranial pressure in the coup site was decreasing toward negative value while the contra-coup intracranial pressure increasing toward positive values. Conclusions: The results illustrated that the stiffer and larger the stick was, the higher the von Mises stress, contact force and intracranial pressure were. We believed that the results in the Hybrid-III tests and THUMS head simulations for brain injury beaten with sticks could be reliable and useful for better understanding the injury mechanism.
