【摘要】 目的 探讨强直性脊柱炎合并脊柱骨折脱位的临床特点及手术治疗效果。 方法 2009年10月-2010年6月，共收治6例强直性脊柱炎合并脊柱骨折脱位患者，其中男5例，女1例；年龄38～76岁，平均48.6岁。下颈椎骨折脱位3例，2例为颈5-6、1例颈6-7；胸腰段骨折脱位3例，为胸10-11、胸11-12、胸12-腰1各1例。6例患者中除1例术前神经功能为Frankel分级 E级，其余5例均有不同程度的神经损伤。6例患者均行手术治疗，下颈椎骨折脱位采用前后联合入路复位及固定，胸腰段骨折脱位采用后路切开复位及椎弓根螺钉固定。术后观察手术节段内固定位置及骨融合情况，评估神经功能恢复情况，记录手术并发症。患者随访10~18个月，平均14.2个月。 结果 所有患者术后均未出现切口感染；脑脊液漏1例，换药对症处理3周后愈合。1例颈5-6骨折脱位患者行前路手术后第2天出现内固定移位，骨折椎再次脱位立即二次行前后联合入路复位固定术；3例术后神经功能由术前Frankel C级恢复至D级，2例无明显改善（术前均为A级），1例较术前加重（术前E级，术后为A级，经再次手术减压并康复治疗6个月后恢复至D级）。随访期间均达骨性融合，未出现内固定松动断裂移位现象。 结论 强直性脊柱炎脊柱骨折好发于下颈椎及胸腰段；对于下颈椎骨折脱位宜行前后联合入路复位固定，而胸腰段骨折宜行后路长节段椎弓根螺钉固定，术中应先充分减压后再精细复位，避免加重神经损伤。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of spinal fracture and dislocation in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and its surgical treatment effect. Methods From October 2009 to June 2010, six cases with spinal fractures in AS underwent surgical treatment. There were 5 males and 1 female with an average age of 48.6 years (38-76 years old). The preoperative neural function of one case was grade E according to the Frankel classification and different degrees of neural damage could be found in other 5 cases. Three cases of lower cervical fractures underwent the operation with a combined posterior-anterior approach. Three cases of thoracolumbar fracture underwent the operation with posterior approach (posterior reduction, fixation with pedicle screws and bone graft). The situation of internal fixation and bone fusion was observed after operation, the neural function had been evaluated and the postoperative complications was recorded. Results All of the six patients were followed up for 10-18 months (mean 14.2 months). There was no incision infection. One patient with cerebrospinal fluid leakage was cured with conservative treatment for three weeks. One patient with C5-6 fracture and dislocation got anterior implant loosening and fracture-dislocation recurrence in the second day after the operation and underwent a combined posterior-anterior operation immediately. Three cases got remarkable neuronal function improvement after the operation. Two cases were remain primary situation. One case was aggravated from preoperative grade E grade to postoperative grade A and recovered to grade D after recovery treatment for 6 months. Bone fusion was achieved in all cases. There were no loosening and breakage of internal fixation in the later followed up. Conclusions Lower cervical and thoracolumbar spine are the usual locations of fracture in AS. A combined posterior-anterior surgical approach is effective for lower cervical fractures and posterior long-segmental reduction and the fixation is a desired select for thoracolumbar fractures.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of Etanercept for Ankylosing spondylitis. Methods We searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 4. 2008), MEDLINE (1966 to September 2008), EMBASE (1974 to September 2008), CBM (1978 to 2008), CNKI (1994 to 2008), VIP (1989 to 2008), and Wanfang (1999 to 2008). The quality of included studies was critically evaluated. Data analyses were performed with The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0 software. Results Seven randomized controlled trials with total of 949 patients met the included criteria. The metaanalysis showed the effective rate of ASAS 20 or ASAS 50 receiving Etanercept was significantly higher than in patients receiving placebo, while no significant differences were noted between the Etanercept and placebo group in other indices. There was no statistical significance among different dosages. Patient Injection-site reaction rate for Etanercept was higher than that for placebo. No significant differences were observed in other adverse effects. Conclusions Etanercept is safe and effective for patients with Ankylosing spondylitis, however, some trials included in the review were of poor quality, so we needed the multi-center, large-scale randomized controlled trials of higher quality and the same course of treatment to confirm this.
At present the parkinsonian rigidity assessment depends on subjective judgment of neurologists according to their experience. This study presents a parkinsonian rigidity quantification system based on the electromechanical driving device and mechanical impedance measurement method. The quantification system applies the electromechanical driving device to perform the rigidity clinical assessment tasks (flexion-extension movements) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, which captures their motion and biomechanical information synchronously. Qualified rigidity features were obtained through statistical analysis method such as least-squares parameter estimation. By comparing the judgments from both the parkinsonian rigidity quantification system and neurologists, correlation analysis was performed to find the optimal quantitative feature. Clinical experiments showed that the mechanical impedance has the best correlation (Pearson correlation coefficient r = 0.872, P < 0.001) with the clinical unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale (UPDRS) rigidity score. Results confirmed that this measurement system is capable of quantifying parkinsonian rigidity with advantages of simple operation and effective assessment. In addition, the mechanical impedance can be adopted to help doctors to diagnose and monitor parkinsonian rigidity objectively and accurately.
ObjectiveTo explore the method of acetabular orientation determination in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for bony ankylosed hip and the accuracy of the postoperative evaluation. MethodsBetween January 2009 and March 2013, 33 consecutive patients (49 hips) underwent THA. There were 25 males and 8 females with a mean age of 35.8 years (range, 18-69 years). The left hip was involved in 10 cases, the right hip in 7 cases, and bilateral hips in 16 cases. The causes were ankylosing spondylitis in 18 patients, tuberculosis in 6 patients, traumatic arthritis in 6 patients, osteoarthritis in 2 patients, and suppurative infection in 1 patient. The disease duration was 7-15 years with an average of 10.8 years. The acetabular orientation was determined with periacetabular bone marks (the upper margin of the obturator foramen, acetabular notch etc.) and soft tissue signs (acetabulum transverse ligament etc.). The hip or pelvic radiograph was taken to measure the acetabular prosthesis anteversion and abduction angle, and upward or downward, inward or outward acetabular migration degree. The acetabular anteversion angle of 15 degrees, the abduction angle of 45 degrees, and upward or downward, inward or outward acetabular migration degree of 0 served as a reference value to evaluate the accuracy of acetabular position. ResultsThere was no complications of neurovascular injury, fracture, joint dislocation, and infection. All of patients were followed up 13-63 months (mean, 30.3 months). The anteversion angle and abduction angle were (13.904±4.034)° and (42.898±7.474)° at last follow-up, showing no significant difference when compared with reference value (t=1.386, P=0.178; t=1.969, P=0.055). The inward or outward and upward or downward acetabulum migration degree were (2.530±2.261) mm and (3.886±3.334) mm respectively, showing significant differences when compared with reference value (t=7.830, P=0.000; t=8.159, P=0.000); it was less than 5 mm in 29 hips, 5-10 mm in 18 hips, and more than 10 mm in 2 hips; the acetabulum center coincidence rate was 59.2%. ConclusionFor bony ankylosed hip having loss of normal anatomy structure, intraoperative residues and permanent anatomical structure should be used for acetabular positioning.
Objective To investigate the operative methods, cl inical outcomes and compl ications of total hi p arthroplasty (THA) in the treatment of patient with hi p joint flexion rigidity due to ankylosing spondyl itis (AS). Methods From May 1992 to July 2004, 56 patients (32 left hips and 39 right hips) with AS received THA through a modified anterolateral approach, including 52 males (67 hips) and 4 females (4 hips) aged 17-48 years with an average of 35.5 years. All the hips were ankylosed in (43.1 ± 7.2)° of flexion and 15 patients had bilaterally ankylosed hips. Preoperatively, Harris hip score was (42.6 ± 5.3) points and all the hips were classified as stage IV according to the standard of American College of Rheumatology (ACR). And the course of disease was 3-11 years. Results Intraoperatively, 1 patient suffering from proximal femur fracture due to severe osteoporosis was treated with titanium wire fixation, and the fracture was healed 6 weeks later. All the patients were followed up for 3-15 years (average 5.3 years). Postoperatively, 1 patient (1 hip) got subcutaneous soft tissue infection at 8 days, 1 patient (1 hip) got wound disunion at 11 days, 2 patients (2 hips) got infection at 11 months and 3 years, respectively. All the infections were healed after symptomatic treatment. The wounds of the rest 52 patients were healed by first intention without joint infections. The postoperative X-rays demonstrated that 4 hips (5.6%) had loose acetabulum prosthesis, 3 hips (4.2%) had loose femoral prosthesis and 5 hips had loose acetabulum and femoral prosthesis (7.0%), and the total loosening rate was 16.8%. Among which, 8 hips received revision resulting in satisfactory therapeutic effects, and the rest 4 hips had no further treatment. Fifteen hips (21.1%) had heterotopic ossification, which was rel ieved after taking nonsteroidal anti-inflamatory drugs. Harris hip score at final follow-up was (82.7 ± 4.1) points, indicating there was a significant difference between before and after operation (P lt; 0.05). Ten hips were evaluated as excellent, 43 hips good, 14 hips fare, and 4 hips bad, and the excellent and good rate was 74.7%. Conclusion THA through the anterolateral approach is effective for the treatment of patient with hip joint flexion rigidity caused by AS.
Objective To retrospectively analyze the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and causes of misdiagnosis of Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide basis for improving the diagnosis and treatment of JME. Methods 979 patients with epilepsy in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were analyzed retrospectively. There.were515males and 464females,average.age(18.66+8.31)years,.The epidemiological characteristics of JME were analyzed. The clinical characteristics, EEG, treatment effect and prognosis of patients diagnosed with JME were analyzed. The causes of misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis and delayed treatment were analyzed. Results The proportion of JME in 979 patients with epilepsy was 1.4%, a total of 14 cases. The median age of onset was (15+5.83) years, the median time from onset to treatment was 3 years, and the median time from onset to diagnosis was 6 years. All patients showed myoclonic seizures, 13 cases were complicated with generalized tonic clonic seizures, and 4 cases were accompanied by absence seizures. EEG findings include normal background activity, 3-6 Hz generalized spikes or frontal dominant multiple spikes at the beginning of arousal. seven patients were treated with levetiracetam, and the other seven patients were treated with lamotrigine and / or sodium valproate. Incomplete collection of medical history and failure to describe the medical history in detail are the main reasons for delaying diagnosis. Conclusion Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is an treatable disease, but it is easy to be misdiagnosed. The rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of JME in Xinjiang is higher, and the delay of diagnosis and treatment is longer. The inquiry of more detailed and demonstrative medical history is of great significance to improve the diagnostic accuracy.
ObjectiveTo understand the self management status of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). MethodsSixty inpatients and outpatients with AS in the Department of Rheumatology between December 2011 and December 2012 were selected as the study subjects by judgment sampling method. A self-made questionnaire was used for investigation. ResultsThe self-management skills of 10.0% of the patients were poor, 78.3% were moderate and 11.7% were fine. The self-management skills of functional training and keeping healthy lifestyle were relatively poor. The factors with a score from the highest to the lowest were:the mental self-management, symptom management, keeping healthy lifestyle, and the self-management of functional training. ConclusionsThe self-management skills of patients with ankylosing spondylitis range from moderate to relatively poor. Our results suggest that cultural factors and the course of disease may be the main influence factors for self-management skills of patients. Clinical medical personnel should know the situation of patients sufficiently, improve the processes of health education and take corresponding intervention measures to the lack of self management ability. By the above ways, we can improve the compliance obedience and the self-management skills of patients, then the patients' condition and living quality will be greatly improved.
