[Three-dimensional finite-element study on anterior transpedicular screw fixation system of the subaxial cervical spine].
To evaluate the biomechanical effects of the anterior cervical transpedicular-screw system (ACTPS), compared to the anterior cervical screw plate system (ACLP), in the subaxial cervical spine after 2-level corpectomy. ⋯ ACTPS is better than ACLP in terms of biomechanical properties. It offers rigid stability, and may be more suitable for reconstruction stability of 2-level and more than 2 levels corpectomy in the subaxial cervical spine. Meanwhile, the risk of fracture of ACTPS system is lower than that of the ACLP system.

[Outcomes of endovascular repairing aortic arch disease hybrid with supra-arch debranching procedures].
To summarize the experience of endovascular repairing aortic arch disease hybrid with supra-arch debranching procedures. ⋯ Endovascular repair of aortic arch disease hybrid with supra-arch debranching procedure is low invasive with favorable long-term outcomes. It is suitable for high risk patients of poor general condition with little tolerance to aortic arch replacement. The in-hospital mortality is higher in the ascending aorta based debranching group than in the non-ascending aorta based debranching group. Stroke is a critical fatal complication and should be attached attention.
