Objective To study the clinical significance of MR imagings features in the diagnosis on central neurocytoma ( CNC ) . Methods From January 2010 to December 2012,9 patients with CNC were analyzed and examined by MRI before surgery,then received postoperative pathology examination. Results CNC were in the left lateral ventricle of 9 patients, closely linked with the Monro hole, of which 4 cases were in the first 2/3 of central ventricle of the left lateral ventricle,3 cases in the septum pellucidum and growth to bilateral ventricles,2 cases of infiltrating in the septum pellucidum and base side adhesion. For CNC,MRI signal was not uniform,solid part T1WI showed equal or slightly low signal,multiple cysts and signal cord like structure with the ventricular wall and septum pellucidum adhesion. By contrast-enhanced CT scan,there were the solid part heterogeneous obvious enhancement in 4 cases,moderate and slight uneven enhancement in 3 cases and 2 cases respectively. Uniform size,round or oval cells were showed by HE staining,and the synaptophysin was positive in 6 ca-ses by immunohistochemical staining,positive expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein in 3 cases. After operation,3 patients were lost to fol-low up,for 6 cases were followed up,survival of 2 cases in 3 years,4 cases in 2 years. Conclusion The results suggest that MRI display is located near the lateral ventricle central Monro hole before and lesions suggestive of CNC in young patients. For most CNC,synaptophysin has positive expression by immunohistochemical staining.

Objective To improve and establish an RP-HPLC method for the determination of related substances of piracetam and its injection. Methods Using thermo syncronis C18(4.6 mm ×250 mm,5μm)chromatographic column, mobile phase was acetonitrile-phosphate buffer (adjust pH of 1.0 g/L potassium hydrogen phosphate solution to 6.0 with phosphoric acid), gradient elution with initial mobile phase 5% acetonitrile.The flow rate was 1 mL/min, detected at 205 nm.Five calibration factors of the known impurities were separately measured.the related substances were determined using main component self-compare with calibration factor.Results Piracetam and their related substances were well separated.The calibration curves of five known impurity A~E were linear within the concentration range measured.The average recoveries were 99.46%,98.21%,97.22%,100.23% and 97.58%, respectively(n=9), RSDs of the average recoveries were lower than 2.0%.The calibration factors of five known impurity A ~E were 1.1, 1.4,1.5,0.8, 1.4, respectively.Conclusion The method can be used to determine the related substances in piracetam and its injection.The related substances can be determined accurately using main component self-compare with calibration factor.

0.05). Conclusion The defecation function was similar between CPP group and CJP group. Therefore, the coloplasty pouch seems to be superior because of feasibility, simplicity, and effectiveness.

OBJECTIVETo describe the epidemiological characteristics of nonfatal child pedestrian injuries and provide information to help understand an important public-health problem.

METHODSThis was a school-based, cross-sectional questionnaire survey. The sample (42 750 children) was obtained from two urban cities of Guangdong Province, China, using multi-stage randomized sampling. Information was collected by the respondents self-reporting in the classroom.

RESULTSThe incidence rate of nonfatal child pedestrian injuries in the cities was 2.0%. Boys had a higher incidence rate (2.6%) than girls (1.4%). Compared to other children, those aged 10 years are at the highest risk. The primary places of occurrence were sidewalks, residential roads, and crosswalks. High-risk behavior of the children immediately prior to injury included mid-block crossings, playing on roads, and crossing on red lights. The major vehicles that caused pedestrian injuries were bicycles, car or vans, and motorcycles. Bruises, fractures, and injuries to the internal organs were the top three types of injuries. Almost 40% of victims were hospitalized, and nearly 30% of the victims suffered long-term disabilities.

CONCLUSIONThis study shows that nonfatal child pedestrian injuries are a very serious public-health problem in the urban cities of Guangdong. Based on the epidemiological characteristics, prevention strategies and further research should be carried out to reduce the occurrence of injuries.

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effects of different surgical methods for temporomandibular joint disc reduction and anchoring surgery, providing reference for optimizing this surgical procedure. Method: The study was approved by the hospital ethics committee. 173 patients (195 joints) who underwent temporomandibular joint disc repositioning and anchoring surgery were selected for retrospective analysis. Patients were categorized into groups A (traditional preauricular incision-scalpel/tissue scissors anterior attachment release), 35 patients (40 joints), B (traditional preauricular incision-plasma bipolar radiofrequency electrode anterior attachment release), 42 patients (46 joints), C (revised tragus incision - scalpel/tissue scissors anterior attachment release), 50 patients (58 joints), and D (revised tragus incision-plasma bipolar radiofrequency electrode anterior attachment release), 46 patients (51 joints). After a 6-month postoperative follow-up, the differences in maximum mouth opening (MMO), visual analogue scale (VAS), effective rate of joint disc reduction, incidence of preauricular numbness, obvious scars among patients in each group at 1, 3, and 6 months were compared postoperatively. Results: After surgery, the MMO of all four groups of patients initially shrunk and then gradually increased compared to before surgery. At the 1-month follow-up after surgery, the plasma bipolar radiofrequency release (B+D) group had a smaller impact on the patient’s MMO compared to the surgical knife/tissue scissors release (A+C) group (P < 0.05). Postoperative VAS scores for all four groups showed a gradual decrease from pre-operative levels, with the (B+D) group scoring significantly lower in the first month post-surgery compared to the (A+C) group (P < 0.05). Six months post-surgery, the rate of joint disc reduction of the four groups were higher than 95%, with no significant differences observed between the groups (P > 0.05). Patients in the revised tragus incision (C+D) group experienced a lower rate of preauricular numbness compared to those in the traditional preauricular incision (A+B) group (4.59% vs. 12.79%, P < 0.05), The incidence of obvious scars in the (C+D) group was significantly lower than that in the (A+B) group (3.67% vs. 23.26%, P < 0.05). Conclusion The revised tragus incision is superior to traditional preauricular incision in terms of protecting the auriculotemporal nerve and the scars were more inconspicuous. Further, the plasma bipolar radiofrequency electrode is superior to the scalpel/tissue scissors in terms of mouth opening recovery and pain control. For temporomandibular joint disc reduction and anchoring surgery, a modified tragus incision combined with plasma bipolar radiofrequency electrode to release the anterior attachment of the joint disc can be recommended as a surgical option.
