Background: Eighty percent of stroke patients develop upper limb dysfunction, especially hand dysfunction, which has a very slow recovery, resulting in economic burden to families and society.
Aim: To investigate the impact of task-oriented training based on acupuncture therapy on upper extremity function in patients with early stroke.
Methods: Patients with early stroke hemiplegia who visited our hospital between January 2021 and October 2022 were divided into a control group and an observation group, each with 50 cases.
Article Synopsis
- Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used for evaluating tibial plateau fractures (TPFs), and the study aims to predict traumatic meniscal lesions (TML) by analyzing specific 3D skeletal anatomy changes from preoperative CT scans.
- The retrospective study included 67 patients with acute TPFs undergoing arthroscopic surgery, identifying correlations between fracture characteristics and the presence of TMLs, with a focus on factors like fragment width and subsiding distances.
- Results indicated that certain measurements, such as sagittal fragment subsiding distance and fragment width, significantly increased the risk of TML in both unicondylar and bicondylar TPFs, revealing distinct predictive parameters for each type.
Multifunctional nanomaterials with simple structure and good biosafety, integrating multimodal imaging and therapeutic functions, can facilitate the development of clinical cancer treatments. Here, a simple but powerful pure bismuth based nanoparticle (Gd-PEG-Bi NPs) was developed from pure Bi NPs and gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-bis-tetradecylamide, which not only shows high quality MRI/CT/PAI triple-modal imaging, but can also be a potent photothermal therapy agent under the guidance of the triple-modal imaging. The Gd-PEG-Bi NPs showed good stability and excellent biocompatibility.

Methods: Between January 2008 and June 2012, a total of 32 subjects who had bilateral arthritis of the knees agreed to have one knee replaced with a PS total knee design and the other with a CR design. In addition to postoperative complications, clinical outcomes (Knee Society Score, Range of Motion, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, as well as radiographic findings) were evaluated preoperatively, and at 2-week, 3-month, 12-month, and 24-month follow-up.
Objective: To explore the effects of Yishen Zhuanggu decoction ([Chinese characters: see text], YSZGD) on the fracture healing and function of wrist joint in osteoporotic distal radius fractures (ODRF) of elderly patients.
Methods: Ninety patients of ODRF were treated with splint external fixation and YSZGD, including 28 males and 62 females, with an average age of 63 years (ranged, 61 to 91 years). According to AO classification, all the patients were classified as type A or B1.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) with allogeneic tendon or autologous hamstring tendon under arthroscopy.
Methods: Thirty-two cases of ACL injury (3 cases compound with PCL injury) were reviewed. All the patients were divided into two groups randomly.
