[Application of CT and MRI in the Diagnosis of Paragonimiasis in Brain and Spinal Cord].

Clinical data of 22 cases with paragonimiasis in brain and spinal cord in the Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture during 2003 -2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-two cases aged from 6 to 17 years old, including 15 males and 7 females, were from the countryside, and had a history of eating raw crabs. CT and MRI showed that all the cases had cerebral lesion, 16 cases had unilateral lesion of cerebral hemisphere, and 6 cases had bilateral hemisphere lesions.

Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty with a novel cerclage cable technique for unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures in senile patients.

Objective: To observe the clinical result and assess clinical value of cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty with a novel cerclage cable technique for treatment of unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures in senile patients.

Methods: Forty-eight consecutive patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were treated in our hospital from March 2001 to March 2006 (Evans type III in 11 cases, Evans type IV in 25 cases and Evans type V in 22 cases). All the cases were evaluated by Zuckerman functional recovery score (FRS) and operative risk assessment software 1 (ORAS1), which were based on the patients' physical and laboratory examinations preoperatively.
