The aim of this study was to analyze treatment results of patients who underwent cervical fusion using plate cage PCB Evolution during 2 year period. 37 hybrid cages (titanium plate and PEEK cage) were implanted to 34 patients with degenerative disease of cervical spine. Assessment of results was performed by neurologic examination, neurovisualization data, visual analogue pain scale and Neck Disability Index. Mean duration of surgery was 92 min., blood loss - 42 ml, length of hospital stay - 8 days. Substantial decrease of frequency and intensity of neck and arm pain was observed after surgery in 91% of patients. Single asymptomatic complication occurred due to improper implant position owing to loosening of the upper screw. When properly performed, anterior cervical interbody fusion applying PCB Evolution plate cage is a simple and effective method with low complication rate.

In the present study, we clarified the TMJ symptoms of Yusho patients. An epidemiologic examination was carried out to identify TMJ arthrosis in patients with Yusho. The patients were collected during annual Yusho examinations in 2012. Nine of 187 patients had TMJ symptoms. The symptoms were pain, trismus, and a clicking sound of the TMJ. We diagnosed these patients with TMJ arthrosis. The rate of TMJ arthrosis in Yusho patients was 4.8%, being similar to the rate of TMJ arthrosis in general. The PCB concentration in the blood of these 9 patients was 2.76 ppb, and the average blood PCB concentration of all patients was 2.98 ppb. We identified no relationship between the blood PCB concentration and TMJ arthrosis.

The objective of this study was to assess welfare of cattle during bleeding after slaughter with or without stunning. A total of 434 bulls were distributed across three slaughter treatments: penetrating captive bolt stunning followed by chest sticking (PCB, N=279), non-penetrating captive bolt stunning followed by halal slaughter (NPCB, N=67) and shechita without previous stunning (SHE, N=88). Four measures of possible consciousness and return to sensibility were recorded 20 and 60 s after bleeding as welfare indicators. They were the frequencies of responses to nostril stimulation and tongue pinch, spontaneous eye blinking, and rhythmic breathing. All responses were absent in stunned cattle at both 20 and 60 s, and in SHE cattle 7, 4, 10, and 100% of the animals presented these responses, respectively. Repeat shots were required for 46% NPCB and 2% PCB (P<0.05). The application of religious slaughter without previous stunning may result in greater risk of cattle suffering, pain and distress at slaughter.
