Objective To investigate the distribution of complications and the relationship with neurologic subtype and gross motor function in preterm infants with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods The type, grade of Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), intelligence,speech, ophthalmologic consultation, brainstem auditory evoked potential and electroencephalogram of 135 preterm infants with CP were reviewed. Results There were 284 complications in total, (2.10±1.33) per child, and was significantly different among various types of CP (F=5.50, P<0.001). The incidence of mental retardation and speech disorder was significant different among various types (P<0.05). The incidence of mental retardation, speech disorder, visual impairment and epilepsy increased significantly (P<0.05) in spastic quadriplegia infants,compared with those with diplegia and hemiplegia. The incidence of mental retardation, speech disorder, visual impairment and musculoskeletal disorder was significantly different (P<0.05) among various grades of GMFCS. The frequency of complications was more in children unable to walk (GMFCS Ⅳ~Ⅴ) than able to walk (GMFCS Ⅰ~Ⅲ) for children over 2 years old (t=70.05, P<0.001). Conclusion The incidence of mental retardation, speech disorder, visual and hearing impairment, secondary musculoskeletal disorder and the multiple disorders are related with neurologic subtype and/or the grade of GMFCS.

Objective:To investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Rupixiao granules. Methods:Activity of Rupixi-ao granules against xylene-induced ear edema in mice was measured to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect, while the analgesic effect was evaluated by acetic acid induced writhing test and hot plate test in mice. Results:Compared with the control group, Rupixiao gran-ules groups (1. 0, 2. 0 and 4. 0 g·kg·d-1) could significantly inhibit ear swelling in mice(P<0. 05 or 0. 001), and reduce the acetic acid induced writhing times(P<0. 01 or 0. 001). Rupixiao granules at medium and high dose could significantly increase the pain thresh-old of mice in the hot plate test. Conclusion:Rupixiao granules exhibit significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between recent cardiac events and the score of myocardial infarction by delayed-enhancement MRI (DE-MRI).Methods DE-MRI was performed in 40 subjects with coronary artery disease.The score of myocardial infarction by DE-MRI,the ejection fraction (EF) by echocardiography,recent cardiac events (the number of weekly nitroglycerin,the number of weekly angina episodes and the onset number of heart failure in the last year),6-minute walking distance,as well as the Seattle angina questionnaire (SAQ) score were assessed.The Spearman correlation test and Kruskal-Wallis test,Mann-Whitney test were used for the statistics.ResultsThere were negative correlation between the myocardial infarction score by DE-MRI (median 12,inter-quartile range:6.0-19.8) and the 6-minute walking distance(378.93 ± 100.53 ),SAQ score (74.55 ± 11.40 ) (r was 0.66 and 0.54,P ＜0.05).The myocardial infarction score by DE-MRI was strongly correlated with the number of weekly nitroglycerin ( median 1 ; inter-quartile range:0-2.8),the number of weekly angina episodes ( median 3,inter-quartile range:1-6.5 ) and the onset number of heart failure in the last year ( median 0,inter-quartile range:0-2) (r was 0.87,0.85 and 0.89,P ＜0.05).EF [(49.2 ± 13.72)％] was negative correlation with the number of weekly nitroglycerin,the number of weekly angina episodes and the onset number of heart failure in the last year (r were 0.67,0.73 and 0.73,P ＜0.05).ConclusionDE-MRI can be used for evaluation and prediction of future cardiac events.

Objective To investigate the trend of early neural development in premature infants. Methods At the age of 12 months and 24 months, Bayley Scales of Infant Development were used to assess the mental development index (MDI) and the psychomotor development index (PDI) in preterm (corrected age) and full-term infants. Results At 12 months, there was no significant difference in corrected age PDI scores among different gestational age groups (<32 , 32–33+6 and 34–36+6 weeks) (P=0.820). The actual age MDI and PDI scores of full-term infants and premature infants in 34~36+6 weeks group were significantly higher than those of premature infants in <32 and 32-33+6 weeks groups, and the PDI score of full-term infants was significantly higher than that of premature infants in 34-36+6 weeks group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in actual age PDI scores among different birth weight groups (P=0.166). The actual age MDI and PDI of full-term infants and premature infants in birth weight≥2500 g group were significantly higher than those of premature infants in <1500 g, 1500~1999 g and 2000~2499 g groups (P<0.05). At 24 months, the actual age MDI scores of full-term infants were significantly higher than those of premature infants in different gestational age and birth weight groups (P<0.05). The actual age MDI curve of premature infants in birth weight <1500g group showed a downward trend, while the actual age PDI curve showed a significant upward trend. Conclusion The neurodevelopment of preterm infants at the corrected age of 12 and 24 months reaches the level of full-term infants.

Conclusion The Rupixiao granules inhibits spontaneous contraction of isolated mouse uteri and oxytocin-induced spasm of uterine smooth muscle in vitro.

Objective To observe the value of radiomics models based on gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA)enhanced hepatobiliary phase(HBP)MRI for assessing clinical pathological stage of hepatic fibrosis(HF).Methods Data of 240 patients with pathologically/clinically diagnosed and clinical pathological staged HF who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MR examination were retrospectively analyzed.The liver-to-muscle signal intensity ratio(SIR1)and liver-to-spleen signal intensity ratio(SIR2)were measured based on HBP images.Radiomics features of HBP images were extracted and screened to construct radiomics models.The signal intensity ratio(SIR)-radiomics combined models were constructed based on SIR and radiomics signatures.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn to evaluate the efficacy of each model for assessing clinical pathological stage of HF.Results The area under the curve(AUC)of SIR1 and SIR2 models for assessing clinical pathological stage of HF were 0.63-0.70 and 0.65-0.71,respectively.The most effective radiomics model for assessing HF,significant HF,advanced HF and early cirrhosis was support vector machine(SVM),SVM,light gradient boosting machine and K-nearest neighbor model,respectively,with the AUC in validation set of 0.87,0.82,0.81 and 0.80,respectively,while the AUC of SIR-radiomics combined models in validation set of 0.88,0.82,0.82 and 0.81,respectively.Conclusion The radiomics models based on Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced HBP MRI were helpful for assessing clinical pathological stage of HF.Combining with HBP SIR could improve their efficacy.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of fusion and non-fusion hybrid operation with Dynesys system with the traditional fusion operation with rigid instrumentation in the patients with multi-segment lumbar degenerative disease.Methods:A total of 30 patients with multi-segment lumbar degenerative disease who were subjected to operation from January 2017 to October 2019 in Shenzhen People's Hospital were included in the study. There were 13 males and 17 females, age: 60.8±13.2 years, range: 25 to 83 years. 28 patients with two segments, 1 with three segments, and 1 with four segments. The patients were divided into two groups, i.e the hybrid operation group (13 cases, 9 males and 4 females, average age: 56.6 years, range: 25 to 83 years) versus the traditional fusion group (17 cases, 4 males and 13 females, average age: 63.9 years, range: 46 to 80 years). The main outcome measures were visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), range of motion (ROM), adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) and complications.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in operation data, such as operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume and length of hospitalization, between the two groups. There were no significant differences for ROM in the surgical segments between the two groups before operation (hybrid group and traditional group were 9.6°±4.9° vs. 8.9°±6.1°, t=0.341, P=0.736, respectively). However, after 12 months follow-up, the ROM disappeared in the traditional group and was partially preserved in the hybrid group, with statistically significant differences (hybrid group and traditional group were 5.4°±2.7° vs. 0°, t=9.104, P=0.001, respectively). There was a statistical difference in intervertebral disc height between the two groups at 12 months post-operation, though no statistical difference was found before operation (8.8±1.9 mm vs. 10.5±1.7 mm, t=2.927, P=0.006). There was no statistically significant difference in the intervertebral disc height of the upper adjacent vertebrae between the two groups before and after operation. There were statistically significant differences in ODI scores before operation (63.4%±11.0% vs. 71.3%±9.2%, t=2.146, P=0.041), and 12 months post-operation (17.2%±2.1% vs. 15.5%±2.3%, t=2.091, P=0.046), while no statistical difference was found in VAS scores. Conclusion:The fusion and non-fusion hybrid operation with Dynesys system has comparable clinical efficacy with the traditional fusion operation with rigid instrumentation in the treatment of multisegment lumbar degenerative disease. Meanwhile, the hybrid surgery can preserve the motion of surgical segments and provide a dynamic stability of the vertebral body. The hybrid surgery can be used as a new surgical method for multi-segment lumbar degenerative disease.
