Objective To analyze the results of distal tibia and fibula fracture treated with delayed open reduction and internal fixation with anatomic plate.Methods 24 fracture of distal tibia and fibula were stabilized temporanrily by application of plaster splint or calcaned traction immediately after injury.The definitive internal fixations were performed on an average of 8 days(range 7 to 10 days) after injury as soon as the soft tissue recovered.Results All patients were available for follow-up at an average of 2.6 years(range,1 to 4.5 years) after surgery.All fracture headed at an average of 15.4 weeks(range,12 to 29 weeks) postoperatively.There were 16 excellent,6 good,1 fair,and 1 poor results.The excellent and good rate was 92%.Conclusion This two-stage treatment protocol for fracture of distal tibia and fibula leads to the best long-term outcomes.

Objective To study and analysis the MRI characteristics of common intracranial ring enhanced lesions.Methods MRI studies of 32 cases intracranial ring enhanced lesions were reviewed retrospectively,all cases were confirmed by surgery or pathology and anti-inflammatory treatment.Results Among 32 cases of Intracraninal ring enhaneed lesions included 12 glioblastomas,10 metastases,5 brain abscesses,2 craniophrayngiomas,1 tuberculosis granuloma,1 neurocysticercose,1 multiple sclerosis.On the whole,the malignant tumors displayed obviously heterogeneous thickness of the walls,especially the inner walls were uneven and coarse,While the non-tumor lesions demonstrated,regular shapers,smooth inner walls and even thickness of the walls.Conclusion Intracranial ring enhanced lesions has a specific MRI finding and can supply important diagnostic value.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)is one of the most common comorbidities of ASD.This article reviews the assessment tools and clinical research (prevalence,clinical characteristics and treat-ment)and fundamental research (iconography,genetics,neurophychology,electronerophysiology)of ASD with ADHD according to lately related articles.The findings suggested that there was lack of researches on treatment and iconography of ASD with ADHD and the conclusions were inconformity.Furthermore,most of the objects in these researches were children of normal intelligence.Thus future research should expand its objects to patients of adult and children with mental retardation and do further explore in iconography and treatment.

Objective To determine whether the adjustment of the pusher of GTF was useful to decrease the degree of tilting of the femoral Ginther Tulip filter (GTF) in an in vitro caval model. Methods The caval model was constructed by placement of a 25 mm × 100 mm and two 10 mm ×200 mm Dacron graft inside a transparent bifurcate glass tube. The study consisted of two groups: left straight group (GLS) (n =100) and left curved group (GLC) (n = 100). In the GLC, a 10° to 20° angle was curved on the introducer.The distance (DCH) between the caval right wall and the hook was measured. The degree of tilting (DT) was classified into 5 grades and recorded. Before and after the GTF being released, the angle (ACM1, 2)between the axis of IVC and the metal mount, the distance (DCM1) between the caval right wall and the metal mount, the angle (ACF) between the axis of IVC and the axis of the filter and the diameter of IVC (DIVC) were measured. The data were analyzed with Chi-Square test, t test, rank sum test and Pearson correlation test. Results The degree of GTF tilting in each group revealed a divergent tendency. In group LC, the apex of the filter tended to be grade Ⅲ compared in group LS (x2 value 37. 491 ,P ＜0.01).The differences of most variables between GLS and GLC were considered as statistical significance(16. 60° vs.3.05°, 20.60° vs. 3.50°, -3.90°vs. -0.40°, 2.98 mm vs. 10.40 mm, - 10.95° vs. -0.485°,13. 17 mm vs. 10.06 mm, - 1.70° vs. 0.70°, t or Z values - 12. 187, - 12. 188, -8.545, -51.834,-11. 395,9. 562, -3. 596, P ＜ 0. 01). There exist significant positive correlation between ACM1 and ACF,ACM1 - ACM2 and DCH1 - DCH2 in each group, respectively(r values 0. 978,0. 344,0. 879,0. 627 ,P ＜0. 01),while significant negative associations are detected between DCH1 and ACF in each group , ACP and ACF in group LC(r values -0.974, -0.322, -0.702,P＜0.01). Conclusion The technique of adjusting the orientation of filter pusher had minimized the incidence and extent of GTF filter tilting in vitro.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of Shen-reinforcing and menstrual cycle-regulating therapy (SRMCRT) combined with Western medicine (WM) in treating decline in ovarian reserve (DOR).

METHODSTotally 78 patients with DOR were assigned to the traditional Chinese medicine combined WM group (abbreviated as IM group, 40 cases), and the WM group (38 cases) according to random digit table method. Patients in the WM group were treated with hormone replacement therapy, while those in the IM group additionally received SRMCRT. The therapeutic course for all was 3 consecutive months. The therapeutic efficacy was compared between the two groups. The serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), FSH/luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2), as well as the development of sinus follicles were compared between before and after treatment in the two groups.

RESULTSThe therapeutic effective rate was 92.5% in the IM group, higher than that of the WM group (73.68%, P < 0.05). The serum levels of FSH, FSH/LH, and E2 decreased (P < 0.05) and the number of the sinus follicle increased (P < 0.05) in the two groups after treatment. Besides, IM was superior in decreasing serum levels of FSH and FSH/LH, and increasing the number of the sinus follicle (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSSRMCRT was an effective method for treating ROD. IM was superior in decreasing serum levels of FSH and FSH/LH, and increasing the number of the sinus follicle.
