Objective To study the role of water exact from salvia miltiorrhiza (SM) in promoting hair regrowth in testosterone (T)-induced alopecia in mice.Methods Pathological alopecia mice were induced by T and the mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,Zhanggvanp 101 group,SM low-dose group,SM middle-dose group,SM high-dose group (20,40,80 mg/ml,respectively).The effects of SM on hair regrowth were evaluated by measuring hair length,weight and the number of hair follicle.The concentration of serum T and estrodiol (E2),the content of skin VEGF,MDA,SOD,and GSH-Px were measured after external inunctum for 21 days.Results (1) SM significantly promoted regrowth hair length,weight and the number of hair follicle (P＜0.05) (2) SM significantly balanced the hormones by reducing levels of T and increasing E2 (P＜0.05) (3) SM significantly reduced the content of MDA by increasing the activity of SOD and GSH-Px (P＜0.05) (4) SM significantly increased the level of VEGF (P＜0.05) Conclusion In the pathological alopecia mice induced by T,SM can effectively promote the hair regrowth,with the possible mechanism of balancing hormones,being anti-oxidant and improving VEGF expression.

Objective To analyze and evaluate the efficay of split liver transplantation in children.Method From September 2006 to December 2014,210 children were treated with liver transplantation in Tianjin First Central Hospital.The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and the difference in postoperative survival was compared between the groups.The 210 childrens were categorized into living donor liver transplantation group (183 cases) and split liver transplantation group (27 cases) based on their operation styles.In living group,all donors to recipients were immediate relatives within three generations.In split group,all donors were men,and livers were obtained from no heartbeat donors.Postoperatively,tacrolimus combined a duplex of prednisolone served as immunosuppression scheme.The survival and incidence of complications were observed.Result There was significant difference in the sex ratio between two groups (P＜0.05).The donor liver cold ischemia time was significantly longer in split group than in living group (P＜0.05).The 1-month,6-month,1-year and 2-year overall survival rate in 210 recipients was 99.5％,98.1％,96.2％ and 94.2％ respectively.The median follow-up time in living group and split group was 15.2months and 26.1 months,respectively.The 1-mont,6-month,1-year and 2-year survival rate was 99.5％,96.7％,92.6％ and 74.1 ％ in living group,and 97.8％,96.2％,77.8％ and 74.0％ in split group,respectively (P＜0.05).During the follow-up period,8 cases died (29.6％) in split group (5deaths due to infection and sepsis,and 3 deaths due to multiple organ failure),and 10 cases died (5.5％) in living group (6 deaths due to infection and sepsis,and 4 deaths due to multiple organ failure).Conclusion In the case of strict selection of donors,split liver transplantation can obtain good effect,but the incidence of complications is higher than living donor liver transplantation.Especially,the biliary complications should be prevented and managed actively.

BACKGROUND:With the improvement of cervical posterior surgical techniques, lateral mass screw fixation technology has been widely used in the reconstruction surgery of the cervical spine for stability. However, currently, the finite element study on the lateral mass screw fixation reconstruction of the cervical spine is rare. OBJECTIVE:To establish a fine normal lower cervical spine (C3-C7 ) three-dimensional finite element model and a reconstructed finite element model with three-segment laminectomy with lateral mass screw fixation. Then, to do an initial biomechanical analysis of the lateral mass screw fixation reconstructed lower cervical finite element model. METHODS:We col ected a normal female volunteer aged 30 years old to do CT scan for the whole cervical spine. The Dicom data were obtained. Then, the CT scanning images were dealt with software Mimics 10.01, Geomagic Studio 12.0, Solidworks2012, HyperMesh 10.1 and Abaqus 6.12 software to build the normal lower cervical spine (C 3-C7 ) finite element model, the laminectomy finite element model and the rebuilt finite element model. At last, we analyzed the stress changes of reconstructed models under the state of flexion, extension, lateral bending and rotational motion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The lower cervical spine finite element model contained 503 911 elements and 93 390 nodes with a fine realistic appearance. It successful y passed the validation. The surgical procedure was completed in the software, and the lateral mass screw fixation reconstruction finite element model has been established. Lateral mass screw fixation system provides good stability for the postoperative finite element model. The activity of rebuilt finite element model is much lower than the normal finite element model. In the extension condition, the stress of lateral mass screw fixation system becomes strong.

Objective To assess the effect and influencing factors on 131I treatment for cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) after operation in patients with PTC.Methods PTC patients (n =117;45 males,72 females;average age (45.17± 15.50) years) with postoperative cervical LNM from January 2010 to December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.LNM was diagnosed by surgical pathology,imaging results and clinical follow-up.Single factor analysis was performed in age,gender,operation mode,TNM stage,131I treatment time and other factors.The results for 131I treatment effect included CR,PR,NC.Two-sample t test and x2 test were used.Results Among the 117 PTC patients with postoperative LNM,53 (45.3％) cases had non-131 I-avid metastasis.Fifty of the 64 (54.7％) patients with 131I-avid metastasis were treated with 131I.Nineteen patients (38.0％) achieved CR,22 (44.0％) achieved PR,and 9 (18.0％) showed invalid results.Fourteen of the 64 patients underwent another cervical lymph node dissection.Nine patients achieved CR,5 patients achieved PR,and 4 PR patients were then treated with 131I and finally achieved CR.Single factor analysis showed that the influencing factors of non-131I-avid lymph node included patients' age (t =3.459),serum Tg level (x2 =6.698) and metastasis with 1s F-FDG uptake (x2 =26.928;all P＜0.05).The influencing factors of 131I treatment effect included lymph node dissection procedure (x2 =6.487),unilateral or bilateral lesion (x2=5.187) and LNM size (x2=8.099;all P＜0.05).Conclusions 131I treatment is ineffective for nearly 50％ of patients with non-131I-avid LNM.The influencing factors of 131I treatment effect include the lymph node dissection procedure,unilateral or bilateral lesions and LNM size.

Objective To study whether abnormalities can be detected by MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technology in radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) patients with normal-appearing white matter (NAWM).Methods Twenty-seven patients who met diagnostic criteria for RIS were collected.Sixteen age-and sex-matched healthy controls with normal neurologic examination findings and no history of neurologic or psychopathic disorders were included.All subjects were examined by both conventional scan and DTI scan on GE Signa 3.0 T MRI.All the images were transmitted to the Advantage Workstation 4.2P and postprocessed using functool software.Anisotropic maps and average diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps were reconstructed.Two ROIs were selected in the genu and splenium of the corpus callosum separately at the trigone of lateral ventricle level.Other 2 ROIs were selected in the anterior and posterior body of the corpus callosum separately at the level of the lateral ventricle body,and 1 ROI was selected in the white matter of bilateral frontal and occipital lobe separately,then the FA and MD values were measured.The diffusion indices (FA and MD)were analysed by SPSS 13.0.Independent-sample t test was performed to examine the group differences in each subregion.Intraclass correlation coefficient analysis was performed to assess the diffusion indices of two measurements in each subregion.Results The ICC of 2 measurements was 0.934-0.989 (P ＜ 0.01),which showed favorable consistency.The FA values were decreased obviously in the genu,anterior and posterior body of the corpus callosum of the RIS patients compared with controls (0.705 ±0.040 vs 0.738 ±0.045,0.632 ±0.043 vs 0.675 ±0.042,0.628 ±0.043 vs 0.666 ± 0.045,t =-3.526,-4.487,-3.890,P ＜0.01),but the FA values of the two groups did not show any significant difference in the splenium,the white matter of the frontal and occipital lobe respectively (t =-1.387,-0.683,-1.243,P ＞0.05).In comparison with controls,the RIS patients had increased MD values in the genu,anterior and posterior body of the corpus callosum.(0.891 ±0.038 vs 0.874 ±0.035,0.839 ± 0.047 vs 0.794 ± 0.031,0.833 ± 0.039 vs 0.792 ± 0.057,t =2.101,5.836,5.146,P ＜ 0.05),but the MD values of the two groups did not show any significant difference in the splenium,the white matter of the frontal and occipital lobe respectively (t =1.671,1.702,1.624,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The NAWM abnormalities in the patients with radiologically isolated syndrome could be detected by DTI.

Objective To investigate the feasibility,safety and therapeutic effects of minimally invasive percutaneous mono-segment pedicle instrumentation in treating thoracolumbar burst fractures ( AO classification:A 3.1 and A 3.2 ).Methods Twenty-four inpatients with thoracolumbar burst fractures (AO classification:A 3.1 and A 3.2) treated with percutaneous mono-segment pedicle instrumentation from March 2010 to December 2010 were retrospectively studied.The operation time,blood loss,pre-and post-operative visual analogue scale ( VAS),ratio of anterior height between compressed vertebral body and normal vertebral body and vertebral kyphotic Cobb' s angle were evaluated.Results The operation lasted for (90 ± 25) minutes,with intraoperative blood loss of (20 ± 10) ml.The rate of anterior body height rose from pre-operative (56.5 ± 10.1 ) to (92.3 ± 12.2) one week post-operatively and to (90.2 ± 11.l)at the follow-up one year later.The vertebral kyphotic Cobb' s angle was pre-operative ( 16.5 ± 5.2) °,which was reduced to ( 7.3 ± 2.4 )° at oneweek after surgery and ( 7.9 ± 3.5 )° at the follow-up one year later respectively.The VAS scored ( 7.0 ± 1.2) points before surgery,( 1.2 ±0.7) points at one week after surgery and ( 1.1 ± 6..5) points at the follow-up one year later.The ratio of anterior body height at one week after surgery and at the follow-up one year later were both obviously higher than that before surgery (P ＜ 0.05 ),but the ratio one week postoperatively showed no significant difference in comparison with that one year postoperatively (P ＞0.05).The kyphotic Cobb' s angle had significant decrease at one week after surgery and at the follow-up one year later,as compared with that before operation (P ＜0.0 5).Also,the VAS score showed marked improvement at one week after surgery and at the follow-up one year later.Conclusions Minimally invasive percutaneous mono-segmental pedicle instrumentation is effective and safe for thoracolumbar burst fractures (AO classification:A 3.1and A 3.2),but it is not suitable for thoracolumbar burst fracture with severely compressed vertebra.

Objective To discuss the clinical outcome of the modified super large dorsal metacarpal artery flap in reconstruction of circumferential fingertip avulsion. Methods Twenty-four patients with circumferential fingertip avulsion were treated by the modified super large dorsal metacarpal artery flap from January 2004 to August 2008. There were six index fingers, 11 middle fingers, five ring fingers and two little fingers with surface defects beyond the distal interphalangeal joint and the distal degloving length ranged from 0.8 cm to 3.1 cm. Emergency operation was performed on 22 fingers and stage Ⅱ surgery was done for distal skin necrosis of two fingers. Results Twenty-one patients with 21 fingers were followed up for 6-28 months, which showed that all flaps survived, with satisfactory appearance and function, and that the point discrimination of flap was for 6-9 mm ( average 7.6 mm). Conclusion Modified super large dorsal metacarpal artery flap is an ideal method for reconstruction of the circumferential fingertip avulsion with advantages of easiness, convenience and short treatment period.

Parkinson's disease(PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor symptoms such as rigidity, rest tremor, and bradykinesia. However, evidence demonstrated that PD encompasses several non-motor disturbances as well, such as cognitive impairment. Mild cognitive impairment can be present since early stages of the disease, and characterized by impairments in several cognitive domains including executive functions, attention, and visuospatial skills, language, and memory; In advanced stages of the disease, cognitive defects can develop into dementia and there is a considerable heterogeneity in the cognitive impairments. In this review, we focus on the clinical characteristics, biomarkers, and drug and non-drug treatments of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease, hoping to provide help for clinical practice.
