[Ilizarov technique combined with center of rotation dome-shaped osteotomy for the treatment of juvenile distal femoral valgus deformity].

Objective: To investigate the effect of Ilizarov technique combined with rotational center dome-shaped osteotomy in the treatment of juvenile distal femoral valgus deformity.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 11 patients with valgus deformity of the distal femur who had been admitted and followed up completely from January 2016 to October 2020. There were 7 males and 4 females.

[Minimally invasive external fixation of humeral supracondylar angular rotation center for the treatment of cubitus varus deformity in adolescents].

Objective: To investigate clinical effect of minimally invasive osteotomy and external fixation with the center of roration of angulation (CORA) in treating cubitus varus in adolescents.

Methods: From August 2013 to August 2017, 15 patients with cubitus varus caused by supracondylar fracture of humerus were treated with minimally invasive osteotomy and external fixation with the CORA. Among them, including 9 males and 6 females; 11 patients on the left side and 4 patients on the right side; aged from 13 to 16 years old with an average of 14.

Methods: From June 2010 to December 2013,44 patients with tibial post-traumatic osteomyelitis with bone and skin defect were treated with Ilizarov technique at stage I . Among them, there were 35 males and 9 females aged from 18 to 70 years old with an average of 42.

Three-week combination treatment with ACTH + magnesium sulfate versus ACTH monotherapy for infantile spasms: a 24-week, randomized, open-label, follow-up study in China.

Background: Infantile spasms (IS) is an age-specific and severe epileptic encephalopathy that occurs in infancy and early childhood and is usually refractory to conventional antiepileptic drugs. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) has been the treatment of choice for IS, but ACTH use has been associated with infection and hypertension. Magnesium ion is an N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA)-noncompetitive antagonist that might inhibit NMDA activity and has antiepileptic and neuroprotective effects.
