RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of the simple nucleus pulposus removal and small incision interlaminar window in the treatment of prolapsed and displaced lumbar disc herniation. METHODS: From February 2016 to February 2018, 35 patients with single-segment prolapse and displaced lumbar disc herniation were treated by the simple nucleus pulposus removal and small incision interlaminar window under general anesthesia. Among them, there were 21 males and 14 females;aged (42±17) years;27 cases of L4,5 segment, 6 cases of L5S1 segment, 2 cases of L3,4 segment;20 cases on the left side, 13 cases on the right side. Modified Macnab standard was used to evaluate postoperative symptoms and functional recovery. RESULTS: All the operations were successful and the operation time was 30 to 60 min with an average of 40 min, the intraoperative blood loss was 10 to 30 ml with an average of 20 ml. All the patients were followed up for 1 to 3 years with an average of 1.2 years. Thirty-five patients with low back pain and lower limb symptoms were significantly relieved or disappeared. According to modified Macnab standard, 29 cases obtained excellent results, 5 good, and 1 fair. CONCLUSION: Applying the concept of minimally invasive operation, small incision interlaminar window and simple nucleus pulposus removal for the treatment of prolapsed and displaced lumbar disc herniation has the advantages of short operation time, definite curative effect, and less trauma. And it is a safe and effective surgical method under the premise of strict control of the indications.

OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) E670G polymorphism has been reported to be associated with variability in levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, a risk factor for CAD. However, the relationship between PCSK9 E670G and CAD is still not fully elucidated. METHODS: A total of 225 patients and 189 control subjects were recruited in this study. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples and was genotyped by mass array method. In addition, we also conducted a meta-analysis of case-control studies to elucidate the relationship of CAD and polymorphism. RESULTS: The GG genotype of PCSK9 E670G was associated with a higher risk of CAD [odds ratio (OR) 2.994, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.174-7.631], even adjusting for risk factors (OR 2.794, 95% CI: 1.215-7.460). Logistic regression analysis showed that the dominant genetic model increased the CAD risk (OR 2.313, 95% CI: 1.070-6.983) after adjusting the confounding factors. Meta-analysis results of 13 studies revealed that PCSK9 E670G polymorphism was correlated with CAD risk under different genetic models. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that PCSK9 E670G genotype was associated with a high risk of CAD.
