OBJECTIVE:To discuss diagnosis and treatment of iatrogenic purulent lumbar spinal infection.METHODS:From December 2006 to January 2010, 4 patients with iatrogenic purulent lumbar spinal infection were treated with posterior debridement. There were 2 males and 2 females, ranging in age from 50 to 66 years (respectively in 52, 66, 58, 50 years); in course of disease from 2 weeks to 2.5 months (respectively in 21, 14, 60, 75 days ). All patients had fever, lumbago, local tenderness and limited lumbar activity before operation. White blood cell count (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were abnormal. The clinical effects were evaluated by symptoms and laboratory examination.RESULTS:Symptoms of lumbago and fever vanished in 4 patients, of which wounds were primary healing without complications. The patients were followed up for 3 months, no infection (WBC, C-reactive protein and ESR were normal) and lumbar instability were found.CONCLUSION:Iatrogenic purulent lumbar spinal infection can be diagnosed according to course of disease, clinical symptoms and signs, imaging finding. In the items, magnetic resonance imaging finding have necessarily specificity, once finding abscess-formation, will promptly operate.
Background Trans‐sacral axial L5/S1 interbody fusion (AxiaLIF), a novel surgical procedure, recently adopted in clinical practice, has excellent clinical outcomes. However, there is inadequate data on the feasibility of the approach in all adult patients and the optimal surgical approach is currently unclear; therefore, further studies are required. In order to enhance the surgical approach for AxiaLIF, prospective anatomical imaging optimization is necessary. The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to achieve an optimal procedural setting. Methods The subjects (n=40) underwent lumbosacral MRI examination. The median sagittal MRI images were analyzed and four measurement markers were defined as follows: the center of the L5/S1 disc (A), the anterior margin of the S1/2 disc space (B), the sacrococcygeal junction (C), and the coccygeal tip (D). The measurement markers were connected to each other to produce five lines (AB, AC, AD, BC, and BD), as reference lines for surgical approaches. The distance between each reference line and the anterior and posterior margins of the L5 and S1 vertebral bodies was measured to determine the safety of the respective approaches. Results In all patients, Lines AB and AC satisfied the imaging safety criteria. Line AB would result in a significant deviation from the median and was determined to be unsuitable for AxiaLIF. Line AD satisfied the imaging safety criteria in 39 patients. However, the anal proximity of the puncture point proved to be limiting. For lines BC and BD, the imaging safety criteria were satisfied in 70% and 45% of patients, respectively. Conclusions The AxiaLIF procedure is a safe technique for insertion of fusion implants in all subjects. Line AC is a favorable reference line for surgical approach and safe for all subjects, while line BC is not suitable for all subjects.

Objective: To study the effect of bone mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transferred by hBMP-7 gene on proteoglycan of degenerative intervertebral disc of rabbits. Methods: Models of degenerative intervertebral disc were established on 20 rabbits and the animals were randomly divided into two groups. For study groups, BMSC transferred by adenovirus vector mediated hBMP-7 gene was injected into degenerative intervertebral disc; for control groups, PBS was injected into the same intervertebral disc. The changes of the intervertebral disc was showed by MRI, and the proteoglycan was quantitated by spectrophotometer to observe the repair effect. The hBMP-7 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR in vivo. Results: The MRI T2 value and the content of proteoglycan of study groups had significant difference comparing with that of control grup(P0.05), as well the expression level of hBMP-7 mRNA and protein. Conclusions: BMSC transferred by adenovirus vector mediated hBMP-7 gene are helpful for improving the expression of proteoglycan in nucleus pulposus after injecting into degenerative intervertebral disc of rabbits.
Porosity and pore size of biomaterials play a critical role in bone formation.Higher porosity and pore size result in greater bone ingrowth but diminish mechanical properties.Thus,a balance must be reached depending on the mechanical properties and bone ingrowth of the biomaterials.New fabrication techniques,such as solid-free form fabrication,can potentially be used to generate materials with selectively designed morphological and mechanical properties to meet the specificity of bone repair.This review explored the in vitro and in vivo studies regarding the influence of porosity and pore size for a material on the bone ingrowth.
Objective To study the risk factors and precautions of spinal epidural hematoma(SEH)follow anterior cervical corpectomy.Methods From February 2000 and September 2006.1 752 patients were treated with anterior eervical corpectomy in our institution.There were 4 cases suffered SEH postoperatively,including 2 males,2 females,with the mean age 48.5 years(ranged from 42 to 56 years).All patients were eervicle myelopathy,and the mean preoperative cervicle function was 8.75(ranged from 6 to 1 3)according JOA score system.To review and analyze with regard to occurrence and duration hours of symptoms,main clinical manifestation,and the effect of hematoma evacuation on patients'neurologic function recovery.Results 4 patients were identified with having SEH after anterior cervical corpectomy.The incidence of SEH was 0.23%.Mean interval between onset of symptoms and surgery was 5 hours(range,2-9 hours).Operative treatment was accomplished in all cases by incision exploration and hematoma evacuation.All patients were followed up 18-22 months fmean 20 months).No recurrence was found.There was significant im-provement in all patients after reoperation except one who only had partial improvement on the upper extremities and left over bladder dysfunction.Conclusion Diagnosis is highly depending on clinical findings for MR would cost critical time and delay reoperation.Intensive care in 24 hr postoperatively iS also important because SEH often OCCURS in this period.Prophylaxis iS predominant to SEH and surgical evacuation should be performed once SEH is identified.The less duration hours of symptoms,the better neurologic function recovery.
