Objective: To explore the efficacy and complication of bilateral multi-target radiofrequency lesion operation in patients with affective disorder.

Methods: One hundred and eighty-two cases with affective disorder were treated with unstaged bilateral multi-target radiofrequency thermocoagulation. The efficacy was evaluated with the method established in 1990 by the National Psychosurgery Cooperative Group.

Results: After 2 weeks of operation, 86 cases with remarkable improvements, 81 cases with improvements, 15 case with no improvements, no case with progression, total efficient ratio was 91.76%. With 6-54 months of follow-up to all of 166 cases, 38 cases with recovery, 59 cases with remarkable improvements, 52 cases with improvements, 17 cases with no improvements, no case with progression, total efficient ratio was 89.76%. Except for early temporal complication of stereotaxic operation, the long-term complication ratio was less than 1%.

Conclusion: CT-guided bilateral multi-target operation is prominent in treatment of affective disorder with high efficacy and safety.

Ultrasound (US) has emerged as a noninvasive neurostimulation method for motor control in Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous in vivo US neuromodulation studies for PD were single-target stimulation. However, the motor symptoms of PD are linked with neural circuit dysfunction, and multi-target stimulation is conducted in clinical treatment for PD.

Article Synopsis
  • Current treatments for oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) mainly involve systemic chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors, but there's a need for better methods due to common recurrences.* -
  • The first case using the Ethos OART platform for delivering targeted radiotherapy was presented, involving a 67-year-old man with stage IV NSCLC and multiple metastatic sites.* -
  • The treatment utilized advanced planning techniques and adaptive strategies, resulting in over 80% tumor shrinkage and highlighting the potential benefits of this approach, though further research is necessary to establish its safety and efficacy.*

Background: Xiaojin Pill (XJP) is a traditional Chinese medicine prescribed for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It has been proven to have multiple effects, such as regulating sex hormone levels, exhibiting anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-platelet aggregation properties, and improving immunity. However, the material basis of XJP's therapeutic effect on BPH and its metabolic process remains to be clarified.

Objective: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), is a rare neurodegenerative disease for which there is no specific treatment. Very few cases have been treated with single-target deep brain stimulation (DBS), and the results were not satisfactory. We applied multi-target DBS to an SCA3/MJD patient and performed positron emission computed tomography (PET) before and after DBS to explore the short-term clinical therapeutic effect.

Multi-target neural circuit-magnetic stimulation has been clinically shown to improve rehabilitation of lower limb motor function after spinal cord injury. However, the precise underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we performed double-target neural circuit-magnetic stimulation on the left motor cortex and bilateral L5 nerve root for 3 successive weeks in a rat model of incomplete spinal cord injury caused by compression at T10.
