Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2002;8(3):166-166
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation treatment on clinical nerve function deficiency (CNFD) and activities of daily living (ADL) of the patients with stroke. Methods45 stroke sufferers from different period were divided into three groups (1st group: in one month; 2nd group: one to six months; 3rd group: over six months). Before and after the comprehensive rehabilitation treatment was given, the CNFD, ADL and clinical effect were assessed.ResultsAfter comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, the CNFD of 1st group, and the ADL score of 1st group and 2nd group were improved significantly, and the 1st group's was better than the others. The total effective rate also increased in 1st and 2nd group. Conclusions Early rehabilitation treatment can improve the patient's neural motion function and the activities of daily living.

Purpose To investigate the diagnostic valuation of Gd-DTPA enhancement MRA in intracranial occuping and vescular diseases. Methods Gd-DTPA MRA(63 cases), MRA without Gd-DTPA(16 cases)as a control group was performed with Elscint Prestige 2.0T MR,MRA. 56 cases were proved by operation or pathology, 7 cases were proved by clinical observation. Results The shape of aneurysms, the feeding arteries, the draining veins of AVM and diploe angioma, the feeding arteries of occuping were clearly showed by Gd-DTPA enhancement MRA and were not showed by MRA without Gd-DTPA.There wasn't much difference between cavernous angioma with Gd-DTPA enhancement MRA and MRA without Gd-DTPA in the shape and blood supply of cavernous angioma. Conclusion Gd-DTPA enhancement MRA is useful and worthy for showing blood circulation of intracranial occuping and vascular diseases.

AIM:To compare the efficacy and safety of intravitreal ranibizumab to those of triamcinolone acetonide ( TA ) injection for the treatment of macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion ( CRVO) .
METHODS:This retrospective study included 40 eyes of 40 patients with macular edema associated with CRVO. Twenty patients 20 eyes were treated with intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (1mg, 0. 1mL), the other 20 patients 20 eyes accepted intravitreal ranibizumab (0. 5mg, 0. 05mL). The change of best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , central macular thickness ( CMT ) , and intraocular pressure ( IOP ) before treatment and at 1, 2wk, 1, 2,3,6mo post-injection in the two groups were observed.
RESULTS:BCVA was improved at 1, 2wk, 1, 2,3,6mo post-injection in the TA group (P<0.05) and ranibizumab group ( P<0. 05 ). No significant difference was found between the two groups ( P > 0. 05 ). CMT decreased significantly within each group ( P < 0. 05 ), and no significant difference between groups was found ( P >0.05). In the TA group, the IOP was significantly higher at 2wk and 4wk than before treatment (P<0. 05). In the ranibizumab group, no elevated IOP was observed at 1, 2wk, 1, 2,3,6mo (P>0. 05). However, the IOP at 1mo was significantly higher in the TA group than that in the ranibizumb group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION:Intravitreal ranibizumab is an effective and safe treatment method for macular edema secondary to CRVO. It can effectively improve BCVA and reduce CMT without ocular and systemic complications compared with intravitreal TA.

Column chromatography on silica gel was used to study the chemical constituents of traditional Chinese medicine Siegesbeckia pubescens. The chemical structures of the separated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic data analyses. As a result, eighteen compounds were obtained and identified as 3, 4'-dimethoxy quercetin(1), 3, 3', 4'-trimethoxy quercetin(2), 3, 3'-dimethoxy quercetin(3), 7, 3', 4'-trimethoxy luteolin(4), ursolic acid(5), 2β,19α-dihydroxyursolic acid(6), 2β-hydroxyursolic acid (7), stigmasterol-7-one(8), 5α, 8α-epidioxy-24(R)-methyl-cholesta-6, 22-diene-3β-ol(9), β-sitosterol(10), 2, 6-di(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3, 7-dioxacyclo [3. 3. 0] octane (11), aurantiamide acetate (12), 3-(m-hydroxyl-p-methoxy)-N-(2'-p-hydroxyl-phenethyl)-2E-acrylamide(13), p-hydroxy benzaldehyde (14), m-hydroxy-p-methoxy benzaldehyde (15), 3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzoic acid(16), monoethyl malonate(17), and p-hydroxylcinnamic acid(18). Among them, compounds 1-9, 11-18 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

10.Cellular fibrous histiocytoma: a clinicopathologic analysis of 27 cases.
Chinese Journal of Pathology 2013;42(3):153-157
OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathologic characteristics of cellular fibrous histiocytoma (CFH) with emphasis on diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
METHODSClinical and pathologic features were reviewed in 27 cases of CFH (encountered during the period from 2008 to 2012) along with outcome analysis. Immunophenotyping was performed with EnVision method.
RESULTSThe patients included 13 males and 14 females. The age at presentation ranged from 15 to 61 years (mean, 34 years; median, 32 years). The tumor occurred in the extremities (n = 14), head and neck (n = 7), and trunk (n = 6). Histologically, the tumors were located in the dermis. Some cases showed wedge like extension into the subcutaneous adipose tissue. On high power, they consisted of dense fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. Other cell components such as psammoma-like histiocytes, hemosiderin-containing macrophages or touton-type giant cells were rare. The spindled tumor cells were arranged mostly in intersecting fascicles. Focal storiform architecture was not uncommon. In addition, a few cases showed prominent hemangiopericytoma-like pattern. There was no prominent cellular atypia but increased mitotic figures were not difficult to find. Two cases exhibited necrosis. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells showed variable expression of alpha smooth muscle actin. CD34 positive cells were present in some cases, but were distributed mostly in the periphery or bottom of the lesions. They were all negative for desmin, h-caldesmon, S-100 protein and cytokeratin. Follow-up in 19 cases revealed local recurrences in 5 cases and bilateral pulmonary metastases in 1 case after repeated recurrences.
CONCLUSIONSCFH is a cellular form of benign fibrous histiocytoma which has a risk for local recurrence after incomplete excision. Distant metastasis can occur in rare examples. However, there were no morphological parameters predicting the risk of recurrence or metastasis. Increased awareness of the clinocopathological features and immunophenotypes of CFH is helpful in avoiding misdiagnosing the disease as malignant tumors, especially dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
