Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of stereotactic surgical treatment and postoperative cognitive functions in patients with treat-resistant obsessive compulsive disorder(TRO). Methods Twelve patients with TRO receiving MRI stereotactic bilateral anterior capsulotomy was retrospectively studied. The evaluation was conducted using the Yale-Brown obsessive compulsive rating scale (Y-BOCS),Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised in China (WAIS-RC),Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised in China(WMS-R), Modified Version of Wisconsin Card Sorting Tests (M-WCST) before and 6 months after the operation. Results The scores of Y-BOCS was 5.00(1.00,12.25) and 25.00 (20.25,32.00) after and before surgery, respectively. The scores of Y-BOCS were significantly lower after surgery than before (P<0.05). Most of cognitive function tests were not significantly different in TRO between pre-operation and 6 month post-operation (P>0.05).There were significant improvements in several cognitive tests after surgery including im-mediately logical memory 20.00(12.50,24.00),delayed logical memory16.50(11.50,21.75),immediately visual reproduc- tion 12.00(11.00,14.00),delayed visual reproduction11.00(8.50,14.00) and block design test scores 36.50(29.75,46.75), immediately logical memory14.00(13.00,18.75),delayed logical memory 14.50 (8.75,17.00),immediately visual reproduc-tion 11.00(6.50,11.75),delayed visual reproduction 8.50(6.25,10.00) and block design test scores 30.50(21.00,41.50) (P<0.05). Conclusions MRI-guided bilateral anterior internal capsulotomy is effective and safe treatment for patients with TRO and can improve their cognitive function.

Objective:
To compare survival outcomes between cervical adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) using a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program.
Methods:
Patients diagnosed with cervical cancer between 1998 and 2016 were identified from the SEER database. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used to analyze survival. A subgroup analysis of overall survival (OS) between patients with ADC and SCC was performed after the 1:1 PSM analysis.
Results:
Of the 33,148 patients, 24,591 (79.19%) had SCC and 8,557 (25.81%) had ADC. In the unmatched cohort, after adjustment in multivariate analysis, patients with ADC had a worse prognosis than patients with SCC (hazard ratio [HR]=1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.07– 1.18; p<0.001). In the propensity matched cohort, Kaplan-Meier analysis and subgroup analysis showed that ADC was associated with a worse prognosis than SCC (p=0.001). An analysis stratified by SEER stage revealed a worse prognosis for patients with ADC patients presenting with a regional disease than patients with SCC (HR=1.24; 95% CI=1.14–1.36 p<0.001), but no statistically significant differences were observed between the localized disease (HR=0.97; 95% CI=0.86–1.10; p=0.664) and distant disease (HR=1.09; 95% CI=0.97–1.22; p=0.162) subgroups.
Conclusion
The significant differences in survival outcomes between patients with cervical ADC and SCC were only observed in the regional disease subgroup, but not in the localized disease and distant disease subgroups.
