Objective To investigate the effect of rotational training on spasm after spinal cord injury. Methods From July, 2010 to July, 2015, 38 patients with spinal cord injury were randomly divided into treatment group (n=19) and control group (n=19). Both groups accept-ed routine physical therapy, and the treatment group accetpted rotation training in addition. They were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale, adductor angle, hip flexion, and modified Barthel Index before and 6 weeks after treatment. Results Both groups improved in modi-fied Ashworth Scale (Z>-2.286, P<0.05), adductor angle (t>5.6121, P<0.001), angle of hip flexion (t>5.1677, P<0.001) and modified Barth-el Index (t>-6.7428, P<0.001) after treatment, and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Rotation training may relieve spasm after spinal cord injury, and improve the range of motion and activities of daily living.

ObjectiveTo compare the neonatal outcomes between infants of assisted conception (AC) and natural conception (NC). Methods A prospective case-control study was conducted.Eligible mothers were invited to this study at 28 weeks of gestation and were followed up to delivery.All newborns were examined by pediatricians right after birth.Data including gestational age,birth weight,admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),and presence of any major malformation were collected.Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 13.0.Difference between two groups was compared by x2 test. ResultsSix hundred and seventy-three newborns were enrolled into this study,including 325 in AC group and 348 in NC group.There were no differences between the demographic characteristics of the two groups,including maternal age,parents' education,family income and proportion of primipara (P>0.05).The incidences of twins (32.62% vs 3.45%,x2 =98.88),preterm birth (30.46% vs 7.76%,x2=56.92),low birth weight infant (32.31% vs 8.91%,x2 =57.07)and admission to neonatal intensive care unit (27.38% vs 8.91%,x2 =39.16) and proportion of cesarean birth (62.77% vs 21.55%,x2=117.64) in AC group were significantly higher than in NC group (all P<0.01),except for the incidence of birth defect (4.62% vs 2.59%,x2=2.01,P> 0.05).However,no significant differences was found in the above items when only singletons were compared between the two groups (P>0.05),except for the cesarean section rate (61.18% vs 22.03%,x2 =100.93,P<0.01).There were no difference in any of the above neonatal outcomes when different assisted reproductive technologies applied were compared(in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer,intracytoplasmic sperm injection and frozen embryo transfer) (P>0.05).Conclusions Neonatal outcome after assisted conception is a bit worse than natural conception,which might mainly due to the large proportion of multiple pregnancy after assisted conception.In order to improve neonatal outcome after assisted conception,the number of embryos transferred should be limited.

Objective:To evaluate the advantages of cortical perichondrium retention of costal cartilage in tip plasty.Methods:A total of 618 female cases were retrospectively analyzed from July 2017 to July 2018 in Zhengzhou Meilai Medical Beauty Hospital that underwent comprehensive line of rib cartilage rhinoplasty for beauty, aged 18-52 years with mean 27±6 years. According to different modification graft used in plasty, the cases were divided into reserve costal perichondrium cortex group (experimental group) and simple rib cartilage cortex group (control group). Statistical analyses were carried out 1 month and 12 months after operation. The tip displacement visualization was compared between the two groups and the advantages and disadvantages were evaluated in both.Results:After the surgery of the 618 patients, the rate of displacement in the experimental group was 3.6%, and that in the control group was 7.9% (χ 2=4.95, P<0.05). The rate of the implant exposure in the experimental group was 4.7%, and that in the control group was 9.1% (χ 2=4.38, P<0.05). The reserve costal perichondrium cortex used in the nasoplasty kept the prominent and stable nasal tip after the operation, and longterm follow-up showed there were no displacement and deformation occured in the patients. Conclusions:The application of costal cartilaginous cortex retaining costal perichondrium in tip plasty can obtain good nasal tip protrusion and stable rotation. It is an ideal nasal tip shaping material and worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of remodeling the dense dermal fiber structure in the suprapical region on the correction of nasal hypertrophy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out in beauty-seeking patients who underwent comprehensive costal cartilage rhinoplasty with nasal hypertrophy in our hospital from September 2016 to February 2018. The technique of horizontal scratch reconstruction and deep dermal suture fixation at the tip of the nose was used to fix the dense fibrous dermal fiber structure in the suprapical area. Photos were followed up 12 months after the operation to observe whether the suprapical area had arch and upward displacement of the nasal tip.Results:All patients healed primarily, and the patients were satisfied with the effects. Follow-up results showed that only one female patient showed upshift of nasal tip after surgery among the 57 patients with hypertrophy of nasal tip for beauty. The remaining 56 patients had no upward movement of the nose tip and arching of the upper turning area.Conclusions:By reshaping the dense dermal fiber structure of the suprapical area, the suprapical area of the patients who seek beauty after the operation will have a natural transition, beautiful shape and stable nasal structure.
