Hepatic transcriptome study of Taenia asiatica infection in suckling pigs.

Taenia asiatica is a crucial Taenia that is prevalent in East and Southeast Asia. Domestic pigs and wild boars are essential intermediate hosts for Taenia. Cysticercus larvae are mainly parasitic in the liver of domestic pigs.

[Cervical perivascular sympathectomy for the treatment of athetoid cerebral palsy].

Objective: To retrospectively review the results of cervical perivascular sympathectomy (CPVS) in treating athetoid cerebral palsy and discuss the possible mechanism of the surgery.

Methods: From 1998 to 2006,560 patients with athetoid cerebral palsy were treated with cervical perivascular sympathectomy and all had periodical follow-up at 1 week, 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. Among the 560 patients,there were 391 boys and 169 girls.

[Selective cervical dorsal root cutting off part of the vertebral lateral mass fixation combined with exercise therapy for treating spastic cerebral paralysis of the upper limbs caused by cerebral palsy].

Objective: To explore the feasibility and the result for the surgical treatment of spastic cerebral paralysis of the upper limbs in patients who underwent the selective cervical dorsal root cutting off part of the vertebral lateral mass fixation combined with exercise therapy.

Methods: From March 2004 to April 2008, 27 patients included 19 boys and 8 girls, aging 13-21 years with an average of 15 years underwent selective cervical dorsal root cutting off part of the vertebral lateral mass fixation with exercise therapy. The AXIS 8 holes titanium plate was inserted into the lateral mass of spinous process through guidance of the nerve stimulator, choosed fasciculus of low-threshold nerve dorsal root and cut off its 1.

[Application of exercise therapy on rehabilitation after selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR) in children with cerebral palsy].

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of exercise therapy on rehabilitation after selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR) in children with cerebral palsy, so as to provide reliable rehabilitation method for children with cerebral palsy.

Methods: Two hundred and twenty-six children with cerebral palsy were treated in the study during September 2003 to April 2007. All the patients were randomly divided into the training and control groups.

[Application of intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring in lumbosacral selective posterior rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical application of intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring in lumbosacral selective posterior rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy.

Methods: Total 372 dorsal roots of 89 patients underwent selective posterior rhizotomy at a single medical center. The dorsal roots from L3 to S1 were divided into rootlets and stimulated with a 1-second 50 Hz train.

[Treatment of equinovarus caused by cerebral palsy with neurotomy of muscular branch of tibial nerve].

Objective: To evaluate clinical effect of neurotomy of muscular branch of tibial nerve for the treatment of equinovarus caused by cerebral palsy.

Methods: Fifty-two cases of equinovarus caused by cerebral palsy were treated with neurotomy of muscular branch of tibial nerve. The male was 33 (38 feet) and the female 19 (26 feet) with the average age of 7.

[Ilizarov external fixator for the treatment of severe genuflex deformity in spastic cerebral palsy patients].

Objective: To explore the application and efficacy of Ilizarov external fixator in the treatment of severe genuflex deformity in spastic cerebral palsy patients.

Methods: The individualized Ilizarov external fixtor was designed to have two hinges posteriorly and one hinges anteriorly based on the tension-stress law. Distraction posteriorly and simutaneously compression anteriorly started 3 to 5 days after surgery.
