Objective To observe the effects of body weight support training on walking ability of children with cerebral palsy. Methods 40 cases were divided into observation group (n=20) and control group (n=20). All the children accepted rehabilitation therapy based on Bobath approach and biofeedback, while those of observation group accepted body weight support training in addition, for 2 months. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) D and E dimension before and after treatment. Results Both the scores of D and E dimension significantly improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Body weight support training can further improve the walking ability in children with cerebral palsy.

Objective To observe the effect of sensory integration training on motor function of cerebral palsy children.Methods 42 children with cerebral palsy were divided into two groups,with 22 cases in observation group,20 cases in control group.All children were treated with mainly Bobath technique based rehabilitation therapy,while those of observation group were added sensory integration training for 3 months.We used GMFM-88 to estimate the gross motor function of the two groups.Results After treatment,the scores of GMFM-88 significantly improved in both groups,GMFM scores of the observation group were more effective than thoes of the control group(t =2.481,P =0.018).Conclusion Sensory integration training based on tradition neural movement therapy can improve gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy,can significantly improve the curative effect of rehabilitation.

Objective:To compare the performance of 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT and MRI in preoperative diagnosis and staging of primary prostate cancer. Methods:Twenty-four patients with prostate cancer, who underwent preoperative 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and prostate MRI in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology between April 2018 and December 2019, were retrospectively enrolled. The pathological and follow-up results were considered as the gold standard, and diagnostic efficiencies of the 2 imaging methods were compared per patient and per type of lesions (seminal vesicle invasion, bladder neck invasion, lymph node metastasis and bone metastasis). The χ2 test was used for data analysis. Results:Prostate cancer was confirmed by pathology in 24 patients, including 6 cases with both seminal vesicle and bladder neck invasion, 5 cases with seminal vesicle invasion and 3 cases with invasion of bladder neck. Gleason scores in patients were as follow: 7 in 9 patients, 8-9 in 15 patients. The detection rates of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and MRI for primary prostate cancer were both 100%(24/24). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and MRI for detecting seminal vesicle invasion were 10/11, 13/13, 95.8%(23/24) and 9/11, 11/13, 83.3%(20/24), respectively. The specificity and accuracy were significantly different ( χ2 values: 6.231, 13.470, both P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and MRI for detecting bladder invasion, which were 7/9, 13/15, 83.3%(20/24) and 3/9, 14/15, 70.8%(17/24), respectively, were not significantly different( χ2 values: 1.285, 0.164, 2.880, all P>0.05). Furthermore, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT for detecting pelvic lymph node metastasis were 11/11, 13/13 and 100%(24/24), respectively, and those of MRI for evaluating pelvic lymph node metastasis were 6/11, 11/13 and 70.8%(17/24), and the specificity of the 2 methods were significantly different ( χ2=6.231, P<0.05). All the 5 patients with pelvic bone metastasis were positive on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging, but only 2 of them were positive on MRI. Information from 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT changed pelvic TNM stage in 41.7%(10/24) patients who underwent MRI for initial staging. Conclusions:68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging and MRI can both accurately detect intermediate- to high-risk primary prostate cancer and seminal vesicle invasion. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging is superior to MRI for evaluating lymph nodes and bone metastasis. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT provides high accuracy for preoperative diagnosing and staging intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer.

The article presents the diagnosis and treatment of an imported case with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and the effect of plasma exchange combined with continuous renal replacement therapy. Severe P. falciparum malaria is characterized by complex clinical symptoms and multiple complications, and plasma exchange combined with continuous renal replacement therapy has a satisfactory therapeutic efficacy for severe P. falciparum malaria.

Objective: To construct a hsa-microRNA-224(miR-224) lentiviral expression vector and to establish pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma MCC1 cell line with stable miR-224 over-expression. Methods: Pri-miR-224 gene fragment was designed and amplified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and then loaded into GV369 lentiviral vectors (GV369-miR224) by gene recombination technology. GV369-miR-224 lentivrial expression vectors were then identified by PCR and DNA sequencing. The GV369-miR-224 vector fluid was then used to infect pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma MCC1 cell line to establish the MCC1 cell line stably over-expressing miR-224. The transfection efficiency of GV369-NC and GV369-miR-224 was observed under fluorescence microscopy; and the expression levels of miR-224 in MCC1, GV369-miR-224-MCC1 and GV369-NC-MCC1 cell lines were detected by RT-PCR. Results: The GV369-miR-224 lentiviral vectors were successfully constructed. GV369-miR-224-MCC1 and GV369-NC-MCC1 cells all emit green fluorescence under the fluorescence microscope. The expression level of miR-224 in GV369miR-224-MCC1 cell group was significantly higher than that in negative control GV369-miR-224-MCC1 group and blank control MCC1 cell group (23.45±1.94, 1.46±0.1 and 2.11±0.38, P<0.01), however, there was no significant difference between the two control groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: A pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma MCC1 cell line with stable miR-224 over-expression was successfully established, and this will provide a new cell model for exploring the function and pathogenesis of miR-224 in pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.
