Objective To explore the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on cognitive ability of patients after ischemic stroke. Methods 45 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) after ischemic stroke were randomly assigned into control group (n=22) and observation group (n=23). Both groups received routine drugs and cognitive training. The observation group received rTMS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) (5 Hz, 80% motor threshold) in addition for 4 weeks. Results The score of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), P300 latencies and amplitudes improved after treatment in both groups (P<0.001), and were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The MoCA score was negatively related with P300 latency (r=-0.851, P<0.05). There was no severe adverse effect during the treatment. Conclusion rTMS could improve the cognitive ability of patients with MCI after stroke, with little side effect.

BACKGROUND:Titanium aloy and stainless steel are two common internal fixation materials, but there are some difference in their therapeutic effects and biocompatibility. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic effects and biocompatibility of titanium aloy and stainless steel internal fixation materials for the treatment of spinal tuberculosis. METHODS:Seventy-one spinal tuberculosis patients, 35 males and 36 females, aged 17-81 were enroled. Among them, 35 patients received titanium aloy internal fixation, and the 36 patients underwent stainless steel internal fixation. At the end of 12-month folow-up, Cobb angle changes, therapeutic effect and Frankel grade were analyzed in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Before treatment, there was no difference in the spinal kyphosis angle and Frankel grade between the two groups. At the last folow-up, the Frankel grade and Cobb angle were both improved in the two groups (P < 0.05), but there was stil no difference between the two groups. The cure rate was 97% (n=34) in the titanium aloy group and 92% in the stainless steel group (n=33), and no significant difference was found between the two groups. These two kinds of internal fixation materials exhibited good biocompatibility, and no infection and other adverse reactions occurred. These findings indicate that both titanium aloy and stainless steel as internal fixation materials have good biocompatibility and therapeutic effects.
