Objective To explore the management of endocrine disturbance related to Symptomatic Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) in both pre- and post-operation, as well as the risk factors for the recurrence of RCCs after the operation. Methods The clinical manifestations, radiological and pathologic features, treatment, and surgical outcomes of 11 cases of symptomatic RCCs were reviewed retrospectively. Results Headache recovered in 100% of patients and visual disturbance improved in 83.3%, and Amenorrhea and/or galactorrhea recovered or improved in 66.7% of patients. However, diabetes insipidus and panhypopituitarism did not improve postoperatively. Transcranial surgery was performed in 6 patients and transsphenoidal surgery in 5 patients. No recurrence occurred in transcranial radical resected cases while 2 of 5 subtotally removed cases recurred with an average follow-up of 34.5 months. Inflammation was present in two of the recurrent cases. Conclusion RCCs is a rare pathology with a wide specctrum of clinical and radiological features. Accurate preoperative diagnosis can be difficult. Endocrine disturbance should be evaluated both pre- and post-operatively, and proper hormones replacement therapy is mandatory in these selected patients, Removing as much as possible and multiple biopsies around the cyst wall will be helpful in accurate diagnosis, especially of cases showing atypical pathologic findings, and special attention should be paid to follow-up examination.

OBJECTIVETo observe early rehabilitation of two different acupuncture programs for hemiplegia due to stroke.

METHODSSeventy cases of early hemiplegia due to stroke were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group were treated by acupuncture at acupoints of both the healthy and affected sides, twice each day, respectively, and the control group by acupuncture at the affected side, once daily. Their therapeutic effects were evaluated by the brief Fugl-Meyer movement scale and the modified Barthel indexes.

RESULTSThe patients with over grade IV for FMA accounted for 68.6% and the good rate for ADL was 74.3% in the treatment group, and 31.4% and 42.8% in the control group, respectively, the therapeutic effect of the treatment group being better than that of the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe acupuncture program in which acupoints at both the healthy and affected sides are applied alternately is more beneficial to recovery of motor function and activity daily living (ADL) of the patient with hemiplegia due to stroke.
