Objective: To study and measure the anatomic structure of lumbar vertebral endplate structure in healthy adults by computed tomography(CT) technique in order to provide a useful guidance for the optimal design and clinical application of lumbar prostheses.
Methods: Sixty healthy adults (male and female equals) were recruited for full-waist CT scan after signing the informed consent form in the imaging department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The scanning data was imported into the computer aided software Mimics 16.
Objective: To study the anatomical measurement of goat lumbar vertebrae and to compare with human lumbar vertebrae, so as to build the foundation for establishing animal models of lumbar prosthesis.
Methods: The anatomical parameters of the vertebral body, pedicle and intervertebral disc in the fresh lumbar vertebrae of Boer goat and the lumbar vertebrae of healthy adults were collected by computer aided software Mimics16.0, and the anatomical characteristics of the two lumbar vertebrae were compared with the statistical software.
Objective: To systematically evaluate the clinical effect of high frequency repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation(HF rTMS)therapy on dyskinesia in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) about HF rTMS therapy on patients with motor incomplete spinal cord injury were searched electronically in PubMed, Google scholar, Cochrane library, Clinical trial, Medline, Web of science, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang database before October 2016. Two reviewers independently screened the literatures according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as extracted the data and assessed the methodological quality.
