Centerpiece plate vs. Arch plate fixation in cervical unilateral open-door laminoplasty: a retrospective comparative study by Lishuang Huo, Fengyu Liu, Xianze Sun

“…At the final follow-up, the Centerpiece group's JOA scores and JOA score improvement rate were lower than those of the Arch group.ConclusionsBoth Centerpiece plate and Arch plate fixation can improve the patient's symptoms. Centerpiece plate fixation has a worse prognosis than Arch plate fixation in cervical unilateral open-door laminoplasty because the ventral prong in the Centerpiece plate may obstruct the spinal cord's backward movement.…”

Brain Imaging and Ultrastructural Studies of the Effect of Electroacupuncture on Improving Learning and Memory Impairments in the Focal Cerebral Isch-emia Rats by Ruhui LIN, Kunqiang YU, Xiaojie LI, Congkuai ZHAO, Chunyan LI

“…The rats were administered electroacupuncture at <italic>Baihui</italic> and <italic>Shenting</italic> for 7 days in the EA group. The learning and memory ability of the rats was evaluated by Morris water maze, the cerebral infarction volume was detected by the small animal MRI and TTC staining, the brain ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopic (TEM).Results:The time finding the plat and the error rate significantly reduced in the EA group in comparison with that in the IC group, while the cerebral infarction volume significantly decreased and the brain ultrastructure(mitochondria, nuclear membrane, etc.)of the rats was improved significantly, which showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the groups(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).Conclusion:Electroacupuncture at <italic>Baihui</italic> and <italic>Shenting</italic> could improve the ability of learning and memory after MCAO by reducing the cerebral infarction volume and protecting the brain ultrastructure in rats.…”
