This article mainly discusses the definition, mortality rate, pathophysiology, precipitating factors, main clinical manifestations, laboratory findings and principles of treatment in DKA and HHS.

With the rapid development of neurosurgery,requirement for neuroanatomy is increasing in clinical practice.The authors made a primary exploration on how to teach focal neuroanatomy for neurosurgical postgraduate students.The idea of asking the students to draw focal anatomy was suggested by the author with the purpose of making them learn it positively.Software workstation and clinical neuroradiological work-ups such as MRI and DSA were also applied and evaluated.The authors proposed all these procedures be helpful for comprehending neuroanatomy.

Objective To investigate the effect of Lokomat gait training rehabilitation robot on joint motion and lower limb function in hemiplegic patients after stroke.Methods Forty hemiplegic patients after stroke were randomized equally into a robotic group and a control group (20 cases in each group).The robotic group received robotic rehabilitation therapy in addition to routine rehabilitation training,while the control group was only given instructions for routine rehabilitation training.All the patients were assessed at the beginning of the training and at the end of 4,8 and 10 weeks of treatment.The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of lower extremities (FMA),range of motion (ROM) in hip and knee,force and tone of bilateral hip/knee flexors and extensors were used to evaluate stepping function before training,and after 4,8 and 10 weeks of treatment.Results There was no significant difference between the 2 groups with regard to FMA scores,the ROM in hip and knee,as well as force and tone of bilateral hip/ knee flexors and extensors (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,the robotic group was significantly improved with all the evaluation indexes when compared to its baseline values (P ＜ 0.05).It was also shown that the robotic group improved to a significantly greater extent than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Pearson's correlation analysis demonstrated a positive relationship between the ROM of knee or hip and lower limb function (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The Lokomat gait training rehabilitation robot can improve the lower extremities functions,as indicated by increase of ROM and muscle strength as well as decrease in muscle spasticity in hemiplegic patients after stroke.

Objective To study the X-ray and CT findings of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia(PCP)in AIDS.Methods 18 cases with PCP in AIDS proved by clinic and pathologically were collected.HIV antibody was positive in all cases.Chest radigraphy and CT scan were taken in all cases.The imaging findings were analysed.Results The typical features of PCP on radiography and CT included unsymmetric diffuse mesh or reticulo-nodular changes,symmetric ground-glass opacification and many more even lobar consolidations which distributed in bilateral hilar regions and middle-lower lung fields.The atypical manifestations included cystic lesions,lobar consolidation,hilar and/or mediastinal adenopathy,pleural effusion,pneumothorax,atelectasis,mass and cavity-mass.Conclusion Plain chest film and CT scan are of important value in diagnosis of PCP.It is possible to diagnose PCP in patients with typical imaging manifestations positive HIV and in combination with clinical data.

Objective To investigate the indication, preoperative evaluation, technical tip, prevention and treatment of complications, effect, and clinical use of the embolization of intracranial aneurysms by using GDCs. Methods From July 1998 to February 2000,93 patients with 118 intracranial aneurysms were embolized using GDCs, including 84 ruptured aneurysms (Hunt-Hess grade, Ⅰ 18 cases, Ⅱ 29 cases, Ⅲ 25 cases, Ⅳ 10 cases, Ⅴ 2 cases). 72 patients were treated at emergency, and 48 patients had CTA examination preoperatively. The operations were completed under the DSA monitoring. Continuous lumbar subarachnoid drainage was instituted and standard 3H treatment was given postoperatively. Results Total occlusion was achieved in 104 aneurysms(88 14%), over 90% in 11aneurysms(9.32%), less than 90% in 3 aneurysms(2 54%), with 3 patients (3/93, 3 23%) died in the cohort. One case rebleeded after 1.5 months and was cured by surgical clipping, 2 patients experienced enlargement of the aneurysmal neck and were reembolized. Following-up was performed from 2 to 22 months, 1 had severe disability, 7 had mild neurological deficit symptoms. Conclusion The results of short-term follow-up suggested that embolization of intracranial aneurysms with GDCs be microtraumatic, safe, effective, and reliable. Partial packing may result in continuous enlargement, rupture, and bleeding, while tight coil packing in aneurysms was reliable. The ruptured aneurysms need emergency embolization, and postoperative continuous lumbar subarachnoid drainage can enhance curative effect significantly.

Mucus secreted mainly by epithelial goblet cells and submucosal glands covering the respiratory tract plays an important role in the protection from external aggressions, such as solid particles, pathogens and chemical agents by mucociliary clearance. The viscoelastic properties of mucus are mainly determined by the presence of extensively-glycosylated high molecular weight mucins. A lot of factors influence the expression and secretion of mucins in airway, lead to mucus overproduction, which is a distinguishing feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and causes disruption of the mucociliary clearance function, resulting in airway block, chronic infection and death.

Objective To determine the effectiveness and safety of antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents in the treatment of extracranial internal carotid artery dissection (eICAD). Methods Antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents were adopted to treat two cases of eICAD in our hospital. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and the medical literatures concerning eICAD, which were obtained from Pubmed database, were reviewed. Results Most researches advocated the empirical use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents in eICAD. About 30% of occluded eICAD could be reopened in 8 days and about 60% - 80% in 3 months after the onset of the disease. During the period of treatment, the rate of ischemic stroke recurrence, disability or death was 8.3%-14.3% in anticoagulant group, while it was 7% - 23.7% in antiplatelet group. Conclusion Antiplatelet agents can be used in patients with eICAD who are contraindicated to anticoagulants. Anticoagulants should be used as early as possible in patients who are not contraindicated to anticoagulants.

Objective To summarize experiences in diagnosis and interventional management for intracranial vertebral arterial dissection. Methods Clinical symptoms and imaging results were analysed in 23 cases of intracranial vertebral dissection, and corresponding interventional managements were reviewed. Results Clinical symptoms consisted of spontaneous SAH and vertebrobasilar insufficiency. DSA usually showed "pearl and string" sign. Interventional management included stent assisted coiling of the dissection, embolization of the affected artery with GDC and to learn the details of the stenotic ICA and draw up and appropriate operation plan.Conclusions Direct energetic intervention should be undertaken promptly for intracranial dissection.

[Objective]To explore the dependability between heredity and hallux valgus.[Method]A total(1 491) cases of family heredity of hallux valgus patients were investigated,the ages of these patients,ages of onset,ages of aggravation,hallux valgus angles were analyzed statistically.[Result]Conclusive family medical history exists in 69.48% of the(1 491) hallux valgus patients.There was distinguished difference between the patients with family history and those without heredity background on visiting ages,ages of onset,ages of aggravation;but no any difference between these two groups of patients on hallux valgus angles.[Conclusion]Heredity factor is the main cause of hallux valgus.It can influence only the onset of hallux valgus,but not the severe degree of latter.The patients with family history are earlier than those without heredity background about visiting ages,ages of onset,ages of aggravation.
