Effectiveness of Mirror Therapy for Phantom Limb Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of mirror therapy (MT) for phantom limb pain (PLP).

Data Sources: PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, CNKI, and WanFang Data were used to search for studies published up to March 31, 2021.

Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the pain intensity of MT for PLP were performed.

Comparison of three treatment methods for simple bone cyst in children.

Background: The unicameral bone cyst (UBC) is a kind of benign tumor whose clinical treatments and efficacy are controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN), the injection of autologous bone marrow (ABM), and the combination of ESIN and ABM in the treatment of bone cyst in children.

Methods: Eighty-three cases with simple bone cyst were analyzed retrospectively.

Synaptic remodeling in mouse motor cortex after spinal cord injury.

Spinal cord injury dramatically blocks information exchange between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The resulting fate of synapses in the motor cortex has not been well studied. To explore synaptic reorganization in the motor cortex after spinal cord injury, we established mouse models of T12 spinal cord hemi-section and then monitored the postsynaptic dendritic spines and presynaptic axonal boutons of pyramidal neurons in the hindlimb area of the motor cortex in vivo.

[Comparison of the efficacy between elastic intramedullary injection and autologous bone marrow blood injection in the treatment of bone cyst in children].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of autogenous bone marrow injection and elastic intramedullary injection in the treatment of bone cyst in children.

Methods: From January 2012 to December 2016, 56 children with simple bone cyst were divided into two groups: autogenous bone marrow blood injection group and elastic intramedullary needle group. There were 28 cases in the autogenous bone marrow blood injection group, 16 boys and 12 girls, aged (7.

[Treatment of long bone cyst in children by autologous bone marrow blood injection and elastic intramedullary needle].

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of autologous bone marrow blood injection combined with elastic intramedullary needle implantation in the treatment of long bone cyst in children.

Methods: From January 2010 to December 2015, 29 children with long bone cyst were treated with autologous bone marrow blood injection combined with elastic intramedullary nail implantation, including 22 males and 7 females, aged 2 to 12 years old with an average age of 7.7 years old, and the course of disease was 12 to 84 months.

[Treatment of clavicular fractures using intramedullary nailing or K-wire versus plating fixation: a meta-analysis].

Objective: TFo compare the efficacy and complications rate of intramedullary (IM) nailing or K-wire versus plating fixation for clavicular fractures.

Methods: Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, CNKI, VIP and Wangfang databases were searched to find all randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials of clavicle fractures using plating versus IM nailing or K-wire. The methodologic quality of the studies was assessed.
