Review Case Reports
MR imaging features of Lhermitte-Duclos disease: Case reports and literature review.
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare tumor of the nervous system with a typical "tiger striped'" sign, but its features on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are still inconclusive. ⋯ Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and susceptibility-weighted imaging combined with conventional MRI can be used to better diagnose LDDs. Perfusion-weighted imaging is not specific for distinguishing cerebellar tumors. The combined application of fMRI and conventional MRI can improve the accuracy of LDD diagnoses.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Febuxostat combined with hydration for the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy in hyperuricemia patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: A CONSORT-compliant randomized controlled trial.
To assess the efficacy of febuxostat combined with hydration on contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in coronary heart disease patients with hyperuricemia undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ⋯ Our study demonstrated that prophylactic treatment with febuxostat combined with hydration can reduce the incidence of CIN in patients with coronary heart disease and hyperuricemia after PCI.

Resurfacing arthroplasty using the J&J DePuy ASR system was withdrawn from surgical treatment due to the necessity of frequent revision procedures after its application. There have been many studies concerning treatment of acetabular bone loss using different operating techniques. However, we felt that data of custom - made implant usage in such cases is highly insufficient, and there is lack of evidence on its application in treatment of loosening of the previous implant. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment with a custom-made implant in a patient with extensive acetabular bone loss after aseptic loosening of the acetabular component of the J&J DePuy ASR surface prosthesis in the early period of observation. ⋯ The use of an individual custom-made implant in extensive acetabular bone loss after aseptic loosening of the acetabular component of the J&J DePuy ASR surface prosthesis in patients is an effective method of surgical treatment.

Spinal Cord Injury is a severely disabling disease. In the process of Spinal Cord Injury rehabilitation treatment, improving patients' walking ability, improving their self-care ability, and enhancing patients' self-esteem is an important aspect of their return to society, which can also reduce the cost of patients, so the rehabilitation of lower limbs is very important. The lower limb exoskeleton robot is a bionic robot designed according to the principles of robotics, mechanism, bionics, control theory, communication technology, and information processing technology, which can be worn on the lower limb of the human body and complete specific tasks under the user's control. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the lower limb exoskeleton on the improvement of gait function in patients with spinal cord injury. ⋯ INPLASY202180095.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Acupuncture plus massage for cervicogenic headache: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Cervicogenic headache (CGH), one of the most common headaches. It is characterized by pain starting from the neck and gradually involving the eyes, frontal and temporal regions. Acupuncture and massage therapy has been widely used in the treatment of CGH, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture combined with massage in the treatment of CGH. ⋯ INPLASY2021120049U1.
