Objective To analyze the symptoms and signs in forty-five Lambert-Eaton myasthenia syndrome (LEMS) patients retrospectively. Characteristics of electrophysiological examinations were investgated. Methods Forty-five LEMS patients were reviewed and information gathered regarding clinical complains neurological symptoms, and other concomitant diseases. The records showed that repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) were performed in all patients. Needle electromyography (EMG) and skin sympathetic response (SSR) were performed in some patients. Results (1) The mean age of neurological clinical onset age was (51.2 ±6. 8) years old. The two most common symptoms were slight weakness of lower extremities ( n = 35 ) and upper extremities (n= 5). Dysarthria was found in 3 patients and neck weakness in 2 patients. Tendon reflex decreased and disappeared in 38 patients. Autonomic nervous system manifestations were presented in 30 patients. (2) RNS increasing was observed in all patients from 156% to 636%. Low frequency RNS abnormalities were found in 29 patients.Sensory nerve conduction velocity abnormalities or sensory nerve conduction velocity combined motor nerve conduction velocity abnormalities were found in 19 patients ( 42% ). Of the 30 patients who underwent a needle EMG examination, 20 had myogenic or neurological damage. Thirteen abnormal findings were observed in 25 patients who underwent SSR examination. Conclusion The most common manifestations were weakness in lower extremities and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Many abnormal electrophysiological results were found in LEMS patients, including NCV and EMG abnormalities. These findings indicated that clinical manifestations exceed the neuromuscular junction and perhaps included the peripheral nerve and muscle.

Objective To quantitatively analyze the dynamic posture in patients with early stage Pakinson disease (ESPD) by using dynamic posture equilibrium equipment. Method Thirty two ESPD patients were recruited in this study, in which, 10 was at Hoehn-Yahr stage 1, 9 at Hoehn-Yahr stage 1.5, 13 at Hoehn-Yahr stage 2. Thirty two age and gen?der matched healthy subjects served as a control group. The sensory organization test (SOT), motion coordination test (MCT), adaptive test (ADT), walk across were performed in those two groups using NeuroCom smart dynamic posture equipment. Results The average composite scores for SOT were 64 and 79 in ESPD patients and control group(P=0.032). The eqilibrium ratio of vision and vestibular sense were obviously lower in ESPD patients than in the control group ( 73.55±3.15 vs. 82.45±3.53, P=0.037;45.25±4.25 vs. 66.43±6.98, P=0.021). MCT showed that ESPD patients had a higher abnormality ratio of centre-of-gravity position compared with controls ( 70.3%vs. 7% )(P<0.001). ESPD pa?tients had 33% and 57% abnormality in ADT and Walk Across, which were obviously higher compared with control group (P<0.001). Conclusions ESPD patients have different degrees of posture disorders and posture equilibrium assess?ment at early stage is beneficial to rehabilitation training.

Objective To study the factors influencing the recurrence of aggressive fibromatosis(AF) patients.Methods Analyze clinical features and find out factors affecting AF recurrence with univariate and multivariate analysis. Results One hundred and three AF patients were analyzed. Diameter of all the masses was (7.84?5.62)cm. 98.2% of all patients received surgery and radical resection rate is 79.4%. First recurrent time after surgery of male and female is (1563?377) and (2117?3704) days for male and female cases respectively,it's (2723?461),(657?262),(2090?499),(812?220) and (721?234) days for that of abdomen wall、head and neck(H & N),deep mass,joints and chest wall. Recurrent time is (2232?271) and (1347?267) days for those with or without surgery history patients. Univariate analysis showed that gender,tumor site and surgery history of tumor site are prognostic factors of tumor recurrence. Multivariate analysis suggest that only surgery history of tumor site is an independant prognostic factors of AF recurrence after surgery. Conclusion Gender,tumor location and surgery history of tumor site can be valuable to predict postsurgery recurrence of AF.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of open reduction and internal fixation with dynamic anterior plate-screw system for quadrilateral area ( DAPSQ ) in the treatment of elderly patients with acetabular fracture involving medial displacement of the quadrilateral surface. Methods Between January 2007 and December 2014, a series of 18 senile patients with acetabular fractures involving medial displace-ment of the quadrilateral surface were treated at our department. They were 13 men 5 women, with a mean age 67. 8 years ( range, from 61 to 78 years ) . By the Judet-Letournel classification, there were 4 anterior column fractures, 5 anterior column plus posterior hemitransverse fractures, 8 double column fractures and one T-shaped fracture. The delay from injury to surgery averaged 6. 5 days. All were treated with the technique of DAPSQ. Screw internal fixation of the quadrilateral area followed plate moulding via a single ilioinguinal ap-proach. Fixation with lag screws for the posterior column was added if necessary. Results The 18 pa-tients were followed up for 12 to 35 months ( mean, 26 months ) . By the Matta criteria for fracture reduction, 9 cases were rated as excellent, 6 as good and 3 as poor. Bone healing was achieved within 2 to 4 months( mean, 3. 5 months ) . By the modified Merle d'Aubigné & Postel criteria, the affected hips scored 9 to 18 points ( mean, 16. 3 points ) at the final follow-ups, giving 7 excellent, 7 good, 2 fair and 2 poor cases. By the Harris evaluation, the affected hips scored 58 to 98 points ( mean, 87. 6 points ) , giving 7 excellent, 8 good, one fair and 2 poor cases. The postoperative complications included urinary tract infection in one, lesion of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in one, heterotopic ossification ( Brooker Grade Ⅰ) in one, and traumatic osteoarthritis in 5 cases 2 of whom had to receive total hip arthroplasty. Conclusion The technique of DAPSQ is suitable for the treatment of acetabular fractures involving medial displacement of the quadrilateral surface in elderly patients, because it can provide and maintain stable fixation of the fracture in the quadri-lateral area and preserve hip joint function, leading to fine outcomes.
