[Biomechanical evaluation of asymmetrical posterior internal fixation for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with transfacetopedicular screws].
To assess the biomechanical stability of asymmetrical posterior internal fixation for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) with transfacetopedicular screws (TFPS). ⋯ Ipsilateral PS placement plus contralateral TFPS provides stability comparable to that of TLIF with bilateral PS, and can be an alternative in minimal invasive surgery.

[Dynamic changes of serum interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in patients with acute traumatic brain injury and the clinical significance].
To explore the dynamic changes of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 in acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their correlations to the severity of brain injury and the condition of the patients. ⋯ The changes of serum IL-6 and IL-8 levels show positive correlations to the severity of the condition of the patients sustaining TBI. IL-6 variation is more obvious than that of IL-8 without intimate correlations between them. Clinically, serum IL-6 level can be more informative than serum IL-8 level in evaluating the changes of the condition of the TBI patients in early stage following the injury.

[Ulinastatin attenuates lung injury in rats with hemorrhagic shock].
To investigate the effects of ulinastatin on lung injury in hemorrhagic shock rats. ⋯ Ulinastatin can lower the content of MDA, W/D and the expression of HO-1, increase the activity of SOD, and reduce histological lung injury in rats with hemorrhagic shock.

[Video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy and transsternal extended thymectomy for treatment of myasthenia gravis: a case-control study].
To compare the therapeutic effects of video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (VATET) and transsternal extended thymectomy (TET) for myasthenia gravis (MG). ⋯ Compared with TET, VATET requires only a small incision without leaving metal foreign body in the body, and the patients experience less postoperative pain and rapid recovery, with similar mid- and long-term clinical outcomes.

[Correlation between white matter lesion and memory impairment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome].
To investigate the nature of white matter lesion and correlation to memory impairment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) by diffusion tensor imaging ( DTI). ⋯ This study indicated that white matter and gray matter was both remarkably damaged in OSAS patients, which could contribute to memory impairment.
