[Revised amyotrophic lateral sclerosis functional rating scale at time of diagnosis predicts survival time in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis].
To identify the correlation between the revised amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R) and the progression rate of ALSFRS-R (DeltaFS) at time of diagnosis and survival time in a prospective survey. ⋯ ALSFRS-R is sensitive to the change over time and can predict survival at diagnosis. It can be used as a primary outcome measure in ALS clinical trial. DeltaFS at diagnosis can provide us the information of disease progression at one particular point. It is a more significant predictor of survival in patients with ALS as compared to total ALSFRS-R and time from onset to diagnosis.

[Intradiscal interventional therapy for degenerative chronic discogenic low back pain with end-plate Modic changes].
To observe the different efficacies of intradiscal interventional therapy for patients with degenerative chronic discogenic low back pain and end-plate Modic changes through different types of injection and to evaluate the potential therapeutic value of intradiscal injection treatment for degenerative chronic discogenic low back pain with different types of end-plate Modic changes by using appropriate injection. ⋯ Intradiscal interventional therapy can relieve discogenic low back pain and improve Oswestry disability index score of function between 3 and 6 months post-operation. There is no significant difference in post-operative efficacy between Modic Type I and Modic Type II. Steroids are the major analgesic factor of intradiscal injection. But the synergistic application of songmeile (cervus & cucumis polypeptide injection) can maintain the analgesic effect and duration with a decreased dose of steroids.
