1.The Treatment of Posterior Circulation Ischemia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;0(11):-
Posterior circulation iscbemia refers to the transient iscbemic attack and the cerebral infarction in vertebrobasilar artery system,its prognosis is not as good as anterior circulation ischemia,and its treatment is similar to that of anterior circulation ischemia.However,because of the mortality of basilar artery occlusion is higher,usually more aggressive treatment should be considered,such as thromholytic therapy(especially intra-arterial thromholysis)and endovas- cular therapy,and the therapeutic time window is much longer.This article reviews the treatment of anterior circulation ischemia.

Objective To evaluate the effects of Achilles tendon lengthening on talipes equinus in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods From December, 2013 to June, 2014, seventeen spastic cerebral palsy children with talipes equinus (34 feet) received Achilles ten-don lengthening. Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) and surface electromyography from tibialis anterior and medial head of gastroc-nemius were measured before and 8 to 12 months after operation, respectively. ROM of passive and active dorsiflexion, root mean square (RMS) of tibia muscle group and co-contraction ratio (CR) when standing were compared. Results The ROM of ankle passive and active dorsiflexion increased (Z>4.867, P<0.001), while the RMS of gastrocnemius muscle decreased when ankle passively dorsiflex (t=4.31, P<0.001). RMS of tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscle changed little when standing (Z<1.291, P>0.05), while CR reduced (t=2.38, P<0.05). Conclusion Achilles tendon lengthening can improve the coordination of tibia muscle group to increase the ROM of ankle for chil-dren with talipes equinus after spastic cerebral palsy.

The modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is urgent need of the modern theory of TCM, is a consensus. But, How to establish and what kind of modern TCM theory, is far from a consensus. Based on the summarization of the common law in the construction of scientific theory, we are trying to give a answer that are expected to form a consensus. Firstly, we have illustrated the trend that the development of TCM theory should learn from the life and medical sciences theory function and value; Secondly, we have proven that TCM and TCM theory belongs to the traditional medicine and theory and pointed out the limitation of the traditional medicine, TCM and its theory. And then we have revealed the inevitable trend of traditional medicine, TCM and its theory development at home and abroad, logically obtained the inevitable choice of constructing the modern TCM basic theory; Lastly, we have analyzed the different discipline new theory construction process and method at home and abroad and discovered the common five steps rule, put forward three principles and five steps of constructing modern TCM basic theory, demonstrated its important role during the theoretical revolution promoting Chinese Medicine theory from phenomenon description to mechanism clarification and the scientific value of Chinese Medicine theory in the domestic and foreign development trend.

Renal cell carcinoma is one of the most common tumors in the urinary system. Most of these tumors are malignant. The incidence of renal tumors has increased in recent years. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination is increasingly applied in clinics and has become a common diagnostic method for renal lesions. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound can clearly show the organization of tu-mor blood vessels and capillaries and provide dynamic observation of the blood perfusion status of normal human tissues and tumor tis-sues. This review discusses the situation and value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in renal tumor treatment.
