Objective To compare the features of cerebral palsy with pachygyria or periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). Methods 15 children with pachygyria and 35 children with PVL were included. Their diagnosed age, clinical subtype, complications, Gross Motor Func-tion Classification System (GMFCS) were compared. Results The diagnosed age was significantly younger (P<0.001), the GMFCS was lower (P<0.05), the incidence rate of epilepsy was higher (P<0.05), and the intelligence was significantly lower (P<0.001) in the pachygyria group than in the PVL group. Conclusion Cerebral palsy children with pachygyria develope worse than that with PVL, as well as their prog-nosis.

Objective To study the impact of the peripheral neurotomy method combined with rehabilitation exercise on gross motor function and balance function of children with cerebral palsy.Methods Matched pair design was used in the study.Thirty children with spastic cerebral palsy hospitalized from May 2011 to Nov.2013 suffering from peripheral neurotomy were assigned as study group,who were conscious and treated by peripheral neurotomy com bined with rehabilitation exercise.In the meanwhile,30 children inpatients at the same time were employed as the control group,who were similar in age and symptoms,with the same gender and the same Gross motor function classification (GMFCS) grade,and the controls were treated only with ordinary rehabilitation exercise.Modified Ashworth score,Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) D and E regions scores,physicians rating scale score in the 2 groups were recorded after treatment for 2,4,6,8,10 weeks.Repeated measure analysis of variance method was introduced to analyze the differences between the 2 groups in improved Ashworth muscle tension,gait improvement,gross motor function and balance function.Results The study group was superior over the control group in muscle tension reduction (F =8.177,P =0.006) and gait improvement(F =24.284,P =0.000).The 2 groups were not different statistically in D region evaluation of GMEM (F =0.072,P =0.790) and E region evaluation of GMFM (F =0.000,P =0.985) ; For Berg balance scale,the 2 groups had also no difference(F =0.150,P =0.700).Conclusions Both peripheral neurotomy method combined with rehabilitation exercise and the ordinary rehabilitation exercise method both could improve the gross function and the balance function.Furthermore,the former was superior over the latter in muscle tension reduction and gait improvement.

Objective:To explore expression and prognostic value of oncostatin M(OSM)in endometrial cancer and to analyze relationship between OSM expression and immune cell infiltration in endometrial cancer tissues.Methods:OSM expression in pan-can-cer was analyzed by TIMER database,OSM expression in endometrial cancer and normal tissues was compared,and survival analysis for patients with different OSM expression was performed;relationship between OSM expression and immune cell infiltration was analyzed by TIMER and TISIDB,and ssGSEA algorithm was used to calculate difference in abundance of immune cell infiltration in samples with different OSM expression;GSEA software was applied to perform enrichment analysis;clinical tissue samples were collected for validation.Results:OSM expression was higher in endometrial cancer tissues than that in normal endometrial tissues(P=4.1e-28),and endometrial cancer patients with high OSM expression had prolonged recurrence-free survival(RFS)(P=0.004 8).OSM expression was positively correlated with abundance of immune cell infiltration and genetic markers of immune cells(P<0.05).OSM was mainly enriched in immune-related signaling pathways.OSM expression was higher in endometrial cancer tissues than normal and atypical hyperplastic tissues(P=0.016 9).Proportions of immune cell markers CD4,CD8,and CD68 were increased in tumor tissues with high OSM expression(all P<0.05),which were positively correlated with OSM expression.Conclusion:OSM is highly expressed in endometrial cancer tissues and correlated with prognosis;OSM expression is positively correlated with immune cell infiltration level and can be used as a biomarker for immunotherapy and prognosis.
