[Posterior pedicle screw fixation with vertebroplasty for thoracolumber fractures in the aged].
To evaluate the curative effect of posterior pedicle screw fixation with vertebroplasty for thoracolumbar fractures in the aged. ⋯ The combination of posterior transpedicular internal fixation system and vertebroplasty is a feasible and effective method for thoracolumbar fractures in the aged.

[Sevoflurane preconditioning induced delayed neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia in rats].
To investigate whether the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mitoKATP) channels were involved in delayed neuroprotection induced by sevoflurane on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) levels. ⋯ Sevoflurane can produce delayed protection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by down-regulating TNF-alpha, IL-1beta protein, and mRNA expression.
