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.

OBJECTIVERadial corrective osteotomy is an established but challenging treatment for distal radial malunion. There is an ongoing discussion about whether an opening or closing-wedge osteotomy between should employed. The purpose of the present study was to retrospectively compare the clinical and radio graphic results between conventional opening-wedge osteotomy and closing-wedge technique.

METHODSFrom January 2004 and December 2012,42 patients with extra-articular distal radial malunion were managed with corrective osteotomy and were followed for a minimum of one year. Twenty-two patients (5 males and 17 females, ranging in age from 25 to 75 years old) were managed with radial opening-wedge osteotomy and implanting of interpositional bone graft or bone-graft substitute, and twenty patients (4 males and 16 females, ranging in age from 19 to 79 years) were managed with simultaneous radial closing-wedge and ulnar shortening osteotomy without bone graft. The selection of the surgical procedure was determined by the surgeon. Each patient was evaluated on the basis of objective radio graphic measurements, and functional outcomes were determined on the basis of clinical examinations, including range of wrist motion, grip strength, pain-rating score, Mayo wrist score, and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score.

RESULTSThe mean duration of follow-up was 36 months (ranged, 12 to 101 months) for the opening-wedge cohort and 28 months (ranged, 12 to 87 months) for the closing-wedge cohort. The two techniques were comparable in terms of complications. Post-operative volar tilt and ulnar variance were improved significantly in each cohort. The ulnar variance was more frequently restored to within defined criteria (22.5 to 0.5 mm) in the closing-wedge cohort than that in the opening-wedge cohort. The post-operative mean extension-flexion are of the wrist and Mayo wrist score were significantly better in the closing-wedge cohort. Differences in the pronation-supination arc, grip strength, pain-rating score, and DASH scores between these two cohorts were not significant.

CONCLUSIONThe closing wedge osteotomy technique is an effective reconstructive procedure for the treatment of extra-articular distal radial malunion. It is significantly better than the opening-wedge osteotomy technique in terms of the restoration of ulnar variance, the extension-flexion arc of wrist motion, and the Mayo wrist score.

Objective To investigate the features of chronic prostatitis during puberty(CPP)and the effects of pelvic floor biofeedback therapy.Methods Totally,25 CPP children (mean age,16 years) and 15 children (mean age,16 years) with normal lower urinary tract as controls were included.In CPP group,NIH-CPSI scores were evaluated,expressed prostatic secretions (EPS) were examined,and bacterial culture was done;and CPP patients were categorized based on the definitions of NIH types.In both groups, urodynamic examination was performed,including evaluation of uroflow curve,maximum flow rate (Q_(max)), post-voiding residual urine (PVR),detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD),maximum detrusor pressure (P_(det,max))and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP).CPP patients underwent biofeedback therapy, and 10 weeks later the effects were assessed.Results In CPP group,NIH typing showedⅡ,ⅢA andⅢB in 1,3 and 21 cases,respectively.Before treatment in CPP and control groups,the incidence of staccato voiding (20 cases vs 1 case),DSD (22 cases vs 1 case),Q_(max)(10.7?3.7 vs 15.0?4.3ml/s),PVR (7.7?4.1vs 3.2?2.6ml),P_(det,max)(115.1?33.6vs 76.8?16.6cm H_2O)and MUCP(176.5?45.7 vs 86.2?28.5cm H_2O)all showed significant differences between the 2 groups(P＜0.05).In CPP group,the differences in pain(4.6?2.2 vs 2.1?1.6),urination (7.9?2.0vs 2.2?1.7),life impact (9.4?2.2vs 2.6?2.1)and total scores(22.0?5.2vs 7.0?4.2) of NIH-CPSI and Q_(max)(10.7?3.7 vs 14.9?5.6) between pre-and post-biofeedback were significant (P＜0.05).Conclusions The main type of CPP is categoryⅢB.The primary symptom is voiding disorder,which leads to greater psychological stress in patients.Children with CPP have pelvic floor dysfunctions and multiple abnormal urodynamic param- eters.The short-term effect of biofeedback strategies for CPP is satisfactory.

0.5 cm or beneficial anatomical vari- ations displayed on MRCP,were obviously improved and there were no significantly different among the 4 types hilar eholangiocarcinoma.Conclusion MRCP could accurately make the preoperative diagnosis and type of hilar cholangiocarcinoma; the image of second branch of bile duct and the variation of the confluence of hepatic hilar displayed on MRCP has great clinical significance for operative regimes of hilar cholangiocar- cinoma,especially for typeⅣ.It does benefit not only to improve the resection and radical rate of some hilar cholangiocarcinomas, but also to select suitable method of biliary enteric anastomosis and avoid injuring the bile duct in operation.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of decitabine combined with IA or CAG regimen in the treatment of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia.Methods A retrospective analysis was made to observe the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of 47 elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia,who were divided into DAC+IA group (17 cases) and DAC+CAG group (28 cases) according to the different chemotherapy.Results In DAC+IA group,the rate of complete remission was 29.4 ％ (5/17),the rate of partial remission was 35.3 ％ (6/17),the effective rate was 64.7 ％ (11/17).In DAC+CAG group,the rate of complete remission was 26.7 ％ (8/30),the rate of partial remission was 30.0 ％ (9/30),the effective rate was 56.7 ％ (17/30),the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (x2 =0.227,P =0.716).In DAC+IA group the median remission time and the median suvival time were 4.0 and 8.1 months,respectively.And they were 4.0 and 8.1 months,respectively,in DAC+CAG group.No significant difference was showed between the two groups (P value was 0.835,0.266,respectively).Conclusions Compared with decitabine combined with CAG regimen,decitabine combined with IA regimen has similar effect and can be well tolerated.Accordingly,decitabine combined with IA regimen can be used as first-line treatment for elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the amount of grafted cells and the incidence of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) after haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Methods Data of 68 patients who underwent haplo-HSCT from Jan 2009 to Dec 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Influences of different factors on the incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree of aGVHD after HSCT were evaluated. Results 68 patients including 42 males and 26 females were 5/10-9/10 HLA match with 19 father donors, 24 mother donors, 16 sibling donors and 9 children donors. 51 patients not suffered Ⅲ-Ⅳdegree of aGVHD included 32 males and 19 females with the mean age of 20 years old (5-55 years old). 17 patients sufferedⅢ-Ⅳdegree of aGVHD including 10 males and 7 females with the mean age of 23 years old (5-54 years old). There were no significant differences in the amount of the grafted mononuclear cells (MNC) and CD34+cells, and the white blood cell counts (WBC) and platelet count (Plt) recovered time between two groups (P>0.05). However, MNC number was related to CD34+cell number (P<0.05) and WBC recover time (P<0.05), and the CD34+cells number was related to WBC and Plt recover time (P< 0.05). Conclusion The incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree of aGVHD is unrelated to the amount of grafted MNC, and CD34+cells.

With its abilities of trans-synaptic tracing and self-replication and wide host range, pseudorabies virus (PRV) has been applied in the field of neuroanatomy since the 1970s. Four decades of PRV application have made many advances in researches on neuronal tracing with PRV. Mechanism studies focused on investigating infection of primary neurons and tracing direction in secondary neurons, while application studies focused on development of new pathological strains and innovation of tracing techniques. To date, the mechanism and application of viral tracing are not completely figured out yet. Integration of molecular biology technology will improve the efficiency in related researches.
