BACKGROUND:This systematic review aims to investigate the prediction value of diffusion tensor imaging for motor function recovery of ischemic stroke patients. METHODS:Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (the Cochrane Library 2016, Issue 9), PubMed, Embase, Clarivate Analytics, Scopus, CINAHL, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Google Scholar were searched for either motor recovery or corticospinal tract integrity by diffusion tensor imaging in different stroke phase from January 1, 1970, to October 31, 2016. The study design and participants were subjected to metrological analysis. Correlation coefficient (r) was used for evaluating the relationship between fractional anisotropy (FA) and motor function outcome. Correlation coefficient values were extracted from each study, and 95％ confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by Fisher's z transformation. Meta-analysis was conducted by STATA software. RESULTS:Fifteen studies with a total of 414 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that FA in the subacute phase had the significant correlation with motor function outcome (ES=0.75, 95％CI 0.62-0.87), which showed moderate quality based on GRADE system. The weight correlation coefficient revealed that an effect size (ES) of FA in acute phase and chronic phase was 0.51 (95％CI 0.33-0.68) and 0.62 (95％CI 0.47-0.77) respectively. CONCLUSION:This meta-analysis reveals that FA in the subacute phase after ischemic stroke is a good predictor for functional motor recovery, which shows moderate quality based on the GRADE system.

AIM: To explore the nursing cooperation highlights of eight osteopetrosis patients underwent optic nerve decompression via transsphenoidal microsurgical approach instead of routine pathway, and to improve the quality of nursing cooperation. ·METHODS: We enrolled 8 cases ( left eye in 3 cases, right eye in 5 cases ) of osteopetrosis patients referred from the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University during February 2012 to November 2016. Patients received ophthalmic examinations including visual acuity and diagnostic imaging tests in pre-operation and post -operation. All eyes were performed surgical optic nerve decompression through endoscopic approach in assist of image guidance system. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and surgical cooperation procedure of these cases and summarized nursing cooperation experience. ·RESULTS:The operations of 8 patients were completed successfully without massive hemorrhage. Mean visual acuity improved from pre-operation (2. 5±2. 1) to post-operation (3. 4±1. 9). Cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in 1 patient and was instantly repaired during the operation. We performed the nursing strategy as postural drainage, condition monitoring and conscious assessment intra-and post-operation. ·CONCLUSION: It is the critical for this kind of surgery that both circulating nurse's high-skilled cooperation to the connection and operation of the navigation system, to treat with complication during the surgery, and scrub nurse's sufficient preparation of surgical instruments and consumables, proficient equipment delivery, meticulous management, use and maintenance of equipment.

Objective To retrospectively study the quantitative features and diagnostic value of 3-dimensional shear wave elastography (3D-SWE) in breast lesions.Methods A total of 198 consecutive women with 198 breast lesions (125 malignant,73 benign) were included,who underwent conventional ultrasound (US) and 3D-SWE before surgical excision.Quantitative parameters of transverse planes,sagittal planes and coronal planes were calculated,including maximum elasticity (Emax-w),mean elasticity (Emean-w),standard deviation (Esd) of the whole lesion and ratio between the stiffest elasticity (Emean-s)in the lesion and the fatty tissue (Eratio).Area under ROC curve(AUC) for combination of quantitative parameters and US were calculated.Results The AUC,sensitivity and specificity for US were 0.919,88.0％ and 78.1 ％,respectively.In the total 198 lesions,Emax-w,Emean-w,Esd,Eratio and Emean s were significantly lower in coronal planes than those in transverse and sagittal planes (all P ＜0.001).AUC for combination of each quantitative parameter and US were significantly higher than those of US (all P ＜0.05),except Emean-w of transverse plane,while there was no significant difference among the three orthogonal plane (P＞0.05).Sensitivity significantly increased by combining US with Emean-s,Eratio (transverse,sagittal and coronal planes),Emean-w (coronal and sagittal planes) or Esd (coronal and transverse planes) (all P＜0.05).Combination of US and Emean w of coronal plane yielded significantly higher sensitivity than those of transverse and sagittal planes.Conclusions Combination of quantitative features of 3D-SWE and US can significantly increase diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity in breast lesions.Emean-w of coronal plane yields the highest sensitivity.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of the blood lactic dehydrogenase(LDH), ?_2-microglobulin(?_2-MG),D-dimer measuring in the diagnosis and treatment of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods In 40 cases with NHL,LDH was measured by L-P continuous monitoring method,?_2-MG was measured by luminescent immunoassay,D-dimer was measured by immunoturbidimettic assay.Results The levels of the blood LDH,?_2-MG and D-dimer in patients with NHL were higher than those of in the controls(P 0.05).Con- clusion The levels of blood LDH,?_2-MG,D-dimer can be taken as an auxiliary clinical index to diagnose, classify the phase,evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and prognosis in the NHL patients,and have impor- tant clinical significance.

Objective To retrospectively study the anisotropy of shear wave elastography (SWE)quantitative parameters of breast lesions,and the correlation with histopathology.Methods A total of 281 consecutive women with 281 breast lesions (179 malignant,102 benign) were included,who underwent conventional ultrasound (US) and 2D SWE before surgical excision.Three acquisitions each for transverse and longitudinal planes were obtained,and maximum elasticity (Emax),mean elasticity (Emean),standard deviation (Esd) of the whole lesion and ratio between the elasticity in the mass and the fatty tissue (Eratio)were recorded.Anisotropic difference (AD) and anisotropy factors (AF) were calculated,and correlation with histopathology was analyzed.Results The average Emax,Emean and Esd of transverse planes were significantly higher than those of longitudinal planes.AF showed positive correlation with quantitative elasticity (Emax,Emean,Esd and Eratio) (P =0.000),and was significantly higher in malignant lesions than that in benign besions (P =0.000).AUC of AF was significantly higher than that of AD (P ＜0.001).AF was significantly higher in invasive ductal carcinoma than that in ductal carcinoma in situ.Higher AF was associated with higher histopathological grades of invasive ductal carcinoma (P =0.000),and correlated with ER/PR(+).Conclusions Anisotropy of SWE is an indicator of malignancy of breast lesions,and is of predictive value for prognosis in breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the main point of long backbone fracture caused by blunt force in forensic clinical identification and to provide a reference for the inspection and appraisal practices of such injury. METHODS: Ninety-nine cases of adult long backbone fractures were collected from January 2006 to December 2013 in Gutian County of Fujian Province. According to the terms of fracture location, mode of injury, type, the data were summarized. RESULTS: In the 99 cases, there were 36 cases caused by hitting, kicking, and falling and 63 cases caused by vehicle collision. The majority of the former was ulna, and those of the latter were tibia and fibula. The types of fracture were transverse one, short oblique one, long oblique one, and spiral one. CONCLUSION Different types of long backbone fracture, not only causing stress load of fractures as well as structural differences related to each segment.
