Objective To systematically review the effect of dietary and physical activity interventions on weight management during pregnancy.Methods The PubMed (from Jan.1990 to Sep.2013),Springer (from Jan.1960 to Sep.2013),Willy (from Jan.1990 to Sep.2013),Web of Science (from Jan.1990 to Sep.2013),Wanfang data (from Jan.1995 to Sep.2013),China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) (from Jan.1995 to Sep.2013)were searched for relevant articles.All published randomized controlled trails (RCT) on dietary and physical activity interventions during pregnancy were considered.The quality of RCTs was appraised and data were extracted by 3 reviewers independently.Meta-analysis were conducted by RevMan 5.2 software.Results In total,eleven RCTs were included in this review.Meta-analysis revealed that dietary and physical activity intervention significantly reduced incidence of cesarean section and macrosomia;However,there were no statistically significant differences in the total gestational weight gain.Conclusions Interventions based on dietary and physical activity during pregnancy appears effective in reducing incidence of cesarean section and macrosomia.However,there are many limitation of the Meta analysis,therefore more multi-center,large sample with high quality RCTs are required for future verification.

One hundred elderly patients with hyperthyroidism were enrolled in a paired design study.The outcome of ~(131)Ⅰand antithyroid drug(ATD)treatments was examined after 2 years.The results showed that ~(131)Ⅰcould be recognized as the safer,more convenient and effective treatment than ATD for the elderly patients with hyperthyroidism.

Purpose:Thalamic hemorrhage breaking into ventricles (THBIV) is a devastating disease with high morbidity and mortality rates.Endoscopic surgery (ES) may improve outcomes,although there is no consensus on its superiority.We investigated the efficacy and safety of ES and compared the outcomes of different management strategies by ES,hematoma puncture and drainage (HPD),and external ventricular drainage (EVD) in patients with THBIV.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed patients with THBIV treated by ES,HPD,or EVD at our hospital from June 2015 to June 2018.Patients were categorized into anteromedial and posterolateral groups based on THBIV location,and then the two groups were further divided into ES,HPD,and EVD subgroups.Individualized surgical approach was adopted according to the location of the hematoma in the ES subgroups.Patient characteristics and surgical outcomes were investigated.Results:We analyzed 211 consecutive patients.There were no significant differences in clinical characteristics or incidence of perioperative procedure-related complications (postoperative rebleeding and intracranial infection) in either anteromedial or posterolateral groups.Compared with other therapeutic methods,the ES subgroups had the highest hematoma evacuation rate,shortest drainage time,and lowest incidence of chronic ventricular dilatation (all p ＜ 0.05).Among the three anteromedial subgroups,ES subgroup had the best clinical outcomes which was assessed by the modified Rankin Scale,followed by HPD and EVD subgroups (p ＜ 0.01);while in the posterolateral subgroups,clinical outcomes in the ES and HPD subgroups were similar and better than that in the EVD subgroup (p =0.037).Conclusion:Individualized surgical ES approach for removal of thalamic and ventricular hematomas is a minimally invasive,safe,and effective strategy for the treatment of THBIV with a thalamic hematoma volume of 10-30 mL.

ObjectiveTo study possible differences in cognitive dysfunction between left hemisphere injury(LHI) patients and right hemisphere injury(RHI) ones.MethodsCognitive function of 55 LHI patients and 43 RHI patients were examined by aphasia screening test and the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment Battery(LOTCA).ResultsThe scores of RHI group were significant higher than that of LHI group in orientation in place,overlapping figures,spacial perception,praxis(P<0.001-0.005),but significant lower than that of LHI group in visual identification of shapes and visuomotor organization(P<0.001-0.02).The possibilities of RHI group were significant more than that of LHI group in disorientation in time,shape agnosia,disorder in figure-ground identification,unilateral neglect,disordered attention(P<0.005-0.025),but significant fewer than that of LHI group in aphasia,ideomotor apraxia(P<0.005-0.01).The possibilities were no significant differences in disorientation in place,objects agnosia,colour agnosia,spacial agnosia,motor apraxia,constructional apraxia,thinking disorder between RHI group and LHI group(P>0.05).Conclusions There is characteristic cognitive dysfunction after right or left hemisphere injury.

Objective To analyze the features of normal high-frequency ultrasonography of tarsal tunnel. Methods Forty volunteers (20 males and 20 females) were examined with high-frequency ultrasound (12 MHz). The tendons,nerve and blood vessels in tarsal tunnel were observed from short-axis and long-axis views dynamically. The areas of tarsal tunnel and posterior tibial nerve were measured and com-pared between the males and females. Results High-frequency ultrasonography depicted the anatomical structure of tarsal tunnel,and the tendons,nerve and blood vessels presented different sonographic features that were easy to differentiate. The area of tarsal tunnel: male (7.61 ±1.00) cm2,female (6. 61 ± 1. 07) cm2 (P <0. 01). The area of posterior tibial nerve: male (9. 59 ± 0. 75) mm2,female (8.91 ±0.74) mm2(P<0.01). Conclusion High-frequency ultrasonography can clearly show and accurately measure the tarsal tunnel structure. To be familiar with the normal ultrasonographic anatomy of tarsal tunnel will help to improve the efficacy of ultrasound diagnosis of tarsal tunnel abnormalities.

Objective To investigate differences between Han and Uyghur children in dyslexia prevalence and potential environmental risk factors as well as to provide diagnosis and treatment evidence for dyslexia children . Methods We used cluster sampling to recruit 2 854 students in grades 3~6 from five Uyghur -Chinese bilingual primary schools in Xinjiang province .The children with dyslexia were selected step by step according to the defini‐tion of ICD-10 and DSM -IV .The children with DD and children without DD were selected and compared by 1∶1 of the same class ,ages and genders .Then single factor analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to as‐sess children'environmental risk factors .Results In total ,2 438 effective quostionnaires have been got .The difference between Han (3 .89% ) and Uyghur (7 .05% ) dyslexia prevalence was statistically significant .The factor analysis revealed that educational grades ,family income ,father's and mother's occupations ,and their education levels as well as some home literacy environmental factors were significantly different for the two groups of children with dyslexia (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The prevalence of dyslexia was high in both groups ,and especially for Uyghur children . Some environmental factors may be responsible for the differences noted ,especially for the occupation of mother .
