[Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion in the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with lumbar instability].
To explore the surgical efficacy of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) technique in the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with lumbar instability. ⋯ In select patients of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with spinal instability, TLIF may be performed easily and safely with fewer complications and total root decompression.

[Influence of P2Y12 receptor inhibitor on pain threshold and spinal p38MAPK in rat bone cancer pain model].
To investigate the role of P2Y12 receptor in rat bone cancer pain model and its influence on p38MAPK (Mitogen-activated protein kinase). ⋯ These results demonstrate rat bone cancer pain could partially relieved after intrathecal injection of P2Y12 receptor inhibitor MRS2395 through inhibiting the phosphorylation of p38MAPK in spinal dorsal horn.

[Effects of heart rate on image quality and radiation dose of "triple rule-out" 320-row-640-slice multidetector computed tomography scan in patients with acute chest pain].
To evaluate the effects of heart rate (HR) on image quality and radiation dose of "triple rule-out" 320-row-640-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scan in patients with acute chest pain. ⋯ The "triple rule-out" 320-row-640-slice MDCT scan may acquire high quality images of aorta, pulmonary arteries and coronary arteries for both high and low HR groups. With a low contrast-medium dosage and patient radiation dose, it is ideal for an etiological diagnosis of acute chest pain. Reducing HR further improves image quality and lowers radiation dose.

Comparative Study[Radiographic comparison of anterior cervical fusion after two-level discectomy or single-level corpectomy for two-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy].
To compare the pre- and post-operative radiographic data of a single-level anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF)or a two-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for patients with two-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy. ⋯ Graft subsidence and loss of fusion segmental lordosis of two groups occur mainly in an early post-operation stage (first 2 months). The group of ACDF with PEEK cage is superior to the group of ACCF with titanium meshes in maintaining the height and lordosis of fusion segments. Single-level ACCF with titanium meshes continues subsiding at the caudal endplate of fusion segments even after 2 months.
