Total hip arthroplasty for failed internal fixation of femoral neck fracture: a retrospective study with 2-14 years' follow-up of 345 patients.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze mid- to long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) following failed internal fixation of femoral neck fracture.

Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 345 patients with femoral neck fracture who underwent THA after failure of internal fixation at our hospital between January, 2003 and December, 2019. Patients older than 55 years (n = 175) and patients no older than 55 years (n = 170) were compared in terms of complications and survival rates during follow-up, which lasted a mean of 6 years.

Meta-Analysis of the Prognostic and Predictive Role of the CpG Island Methylator Phenotype in Colorectal Cancer.

Background: Various studies have produced contradictory results on the prognostic role of the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Although a meta-analysis published in 2014 reported a worse prognosis of CIMP among CIMP-high (CIMP-H) CRC patients, the sample sizes of the major included studies were small. In this study, we included the most recent studies with large sample sizes and performed an updated meta-analysis on the relationship between CIMP and CRC prognosis.

Recent progresses and remaining challenges for the detection of Zika virus.

Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a particularly notorious mosquito-borne flavivirus, which can lead to a devastating congenital syndrome in the fetuses of pregnant mothers (e.g., microcephaly, spasticity, craniofacial disproportion, miscarriage, and ocular abnormalities) and cause the autoimmune disorder Guillain-Barre' syndrome of adults.

Telencephalon Cytoarchitecture of tsinling dwarf skinks (Scincella tsinlingensis).

The telencephalon of adult Scincella tsinlingensis was detected by light and electron microscopy, which will be used as the basis for further neurobiological comparative studies. The telencephalon of S. tsinlingensis was consisted of paired olfactory bulbs, paired cerebral hemispheres, and a telencephalon medium or impar.

[Effects of three-stage rehabilitation treatment on acute cerebrovascular diseases: a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of tertiary rehabilitation treatment on acute cerebrovascular diseases.

Methods: Fifteen tertiary rehabilitation networks were set up throughout the country. 1078 patients with acute cerebrovascular diseases were randomly divided into 2 groups: rehabilitation group and control group, out of which 19 patients died, 157 dropped out, and 7 successive evaluations were completed in 902 patients that.

[Effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation on rehabilitation of motor function in patients with cerebral infarction].

Objective: To study the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on the rehabilitation of motor function in patients with cerebral infarction.

Methods: Two hundred twenty and three patients with the initial attack of cerebral infarction were divided into three groups. (1) One hundred twenty and three patients were randomly further divided into rehabilitation subgroup (n = 63, aged 64.
