Object:To explore the clinical effect of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH).Methods:The clinical data of 305 patients with DDH admitted to Tangshan Second Hospital from January 2012 to June 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were treated with PAO alone. There were 123 cases of left hip dysplasia, 131 cases of right hip dysplasia and 51 cases of double hip dysplasia (356 hips in total). The patients underwent X-ray examination before and on the second day after operation to compare the acetabular index and the lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and the anterior center edge angle (ACEA) of the acetabulum before and after operation. The ability of daily living and hip joint function were evaluated before and 6 months after operation, and Barthel index and Harris score of hip joint were compared before and after treatment. The measurement data with normal distribution are expressed in xˉ± s, and the paired t test was used for comparison before and after operation. The measurement data of non-normal distribution is expressed by M( Q1, Q3), and the comparison before and after surgery is performed by the rank sum test. Results:On the second day after operation, the LCEA and ACEA of 356 hip joints in 305 patients were greater than those before operation (32.5(20.0,47.5)° vs 8.5(-18.5 23.0)°, 29.0(18.5,52.3)° vs 2.5(-20.8, 24.5)°), while the acetabulum index was lower than that before operation (6.7(-8.4,12.5)° vs 26.8(10.0, 62.3)°), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z values were 51.50, 45.37, 32.22, all P<0.001). After 6 months of follow-up, the Barthel score and Harris score of the hip joint were higher than those before the operation (92.5±1.3) scores vs (65.6±1.5) scores, (96.4±2.5) scores vs (85.1±1.3) scores, and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 335.56 and 89.70, both P<0.001). Conclusions:PAO can make the acetabulum cover the femoral head well through acetabular transposition, improve the ability of daily living and hip joint function of DDH patients, reduce pain, increase joint range of motion, and correct limb deformities. It is an effective means to treat DDH.

Objective To evaluate the predictive values of interleukin (IL)-2 and soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid in early intracranial infection,and provide the reference for choosing diagnostic markers of early intracranial infection after craniotomy.Methods From January 2014 to January 2016,36 patients with intracranial infection after craniotomy in our hospital were chosen as infection group,and 45 patients without intracranial infection were as non-infection group.The body temperature and levels ofcerebrospinaI fluid glucose,blood white blood cell (WBC),cerebrospinal fluid WBC,serum IL-2,cerebrospinal fluid IL-2,serum sIL-2R and cerebrospinal fluid sIL-2R were compared between the two groups.The diagnosis values of IL-2 and sIL-2R in serum and cerebrospinal fluid in intracranial infection were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) curve.The sensitivity and specificity of IL-2 and sIL-2R in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid in intracranial infection were compared between the two groups.Results The body temperature of the two groups showed no statistical difference (P＞0.05).As compared with those in the non-infection group,the glucose of cerebrospinal fluid in the infection group significantly decreased (P＜0.05),the blood WBC,cerebrospinal fluid WBC,serum IL-2,cerebrospinal fluid IL-2,serum sIL-2R and cerebrospinal fluid sIL-2R in the infection group significantly increased (P＜0.05).The areas under of curve for body temperature,glucose of cerebrospinal fluid,blood WBC,cerebrospinal fluid WBC,serum IL-2,cerebrospinal fluid IL-2,serum sIL-2R and cerebrospinal fluid sIL-2R,respectively,were 0.671,0.718,0.698,0.741,0.714,0.927,0.722 and 0.968;the sensitivity of those indexes,respectively,was 61.1％,63.9％,69.4％,91.7％,88.9％,91.7％,86.1％and94.4％;the specificityofthoseindexes,respectively,was 48.9％,82.2％,60.0％,55.6％,62.2％,88.9％,66.7％ and 91.1％.Conclusion The IL-2 and sIL-2R levels in serum and cerebrospinal fluid have decided values in diagnosis of intracranial infection after craniotomy,but the sensitivity and specificity of IL-2 and sIL-2R in cerebrospinal fluid are higher than others.

The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus may support sequential working memory beyond episodic memory and spatial navigation. This stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) study investigated how the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) interacts with the hippocampus in the online processing of sequential information. Twenty patients with epilepsy (eight women, age 27.6 ± 8.2 years) completed a line ordering task with SEEG recordings over the DLPFC and the hippocampus. Participants showed longer thinking times and more recall errors when asked to arrange random lines clockwise (random trials) than to maintain ordered lines (ordered trials) before recalling the orientation of a particular line. First, the ordering-related increase in thinking time and recall error was associated with a transient theta power increase in the hippocampus and a sustained theta power increase in the DLPFC (3-10 Hz). In particular, the hippocampal theta power increase correlated with the memory precision of line orientation. Second, theta phase coherences between the DLPFC and hippocampus were enhanced for ordering, especially for more precisely memorized lines. Third, the theta band DLPFC → hippocampus influence was selectively enhanced for ordering, especially for more precisely memorized lines. This study suggests that theta oscillations may support DLPFC-hippocampal interactions in the online processing of sequential information.

BACKGROUND: Stroke is the leading cause of death in China, and predicting the stroke burden could provide essential information guiding the setting of medium- and long-term health policies and priorities. The study aimed to project trends associated with stroke burden in China through 2050, not only in terms of incidence and mortality but also for prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). METHODS: Data on stroke rates in incidence, prevalence, deaths, and DALYs in China between 1990 and 2019 were obtained from a recent Global Burden of Disease study. Demographic-specific trends in rates over time were estimated using three models: the loglinear model, the Lee-Carter model, and a functional time series model. The mean absolute percentage error and the root mean squared error were used for model selection. Projections up to 2050 were estimated using the best fitting model. United Nations population data were used to project the absolute numbers through 2050. RESULTS: From 2019 to 2050, the crude rates for all measures of the stroke burden are projected to increase continuously among both men and women. We project that compared with those in 2019, the incidence, prevalence, deaths, and DALYs because of stroke in China in 2050 will increase by 55.58%, 119.16%, 72.15%, and 20.04%, respectively; the corresponding increases in number were 2.19, 34.27, 1.58, and 9.21 million. The age-standardized rate is projected to substantially decline for incidence (8.94%), death (40.37%), and DALYs (43.47%), but the age-standardized prevalence rate is predicted to increase by 10.82%. By 2050, the burden of stroke among the population aged ≥65 years will increase significantly: by 104.70% for incidence, by 218.48% for prevalence, by 100.00% for death, and by 58.93% for DALYs. CONCLUSIONS With the aging population in China increasing over the next three decades, the burden of stroke will be markedly increased. Continuous efforts are needed to improve stroke health care and secondary prevention, especially for older adults.
