[Features of pelvic parameters in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and their relationships with spinal sagittal parameters].
To explore the features of pelvic parameters in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and the relationships with spinal sagittal parameters and evaluate their roles in sagittal balance. ⋯ Ethnic differences exist in the main pelvic parameters and their values are lower in Chinese than in Caucasians. There are also differences among different types of AIS. The values of main pelvic parameters are higher in AIS patients with a primary thoracic curve than in those with a primary lumbar curve. Pelvic parameters play an important role in maintaining a sagittal balance. The main pelvic parameters have influences on sagittal lumbar configuration but little on thoracic segment. A high PI value leads to a forward lean in torso with an increased PT as a result of compensation and vice versa. The alteration of PT is a major compensatory pattern of pelvis. The features of pelvic parameters should be considered during surgical planning.

[Utility of portable monitoring device with airflow, oxygen saturation and respiratory effort in the diagnosis of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].
To validate the values of monitoring airflow, oxygen saturation and respiratory effort in the diagnosis of sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS). ⋯ Portable monitoring device recording airflow, oxygen saturation and respiratory effort shows a great agreement with PSG with regards to AHI (RDI) and the identification of different types of respiratory events.

Multicenter Study Observational Study[Trend analysis of rapid shallow breathing indices during spontaneous breathing trial may improve predictive accuracy of extubation success].
To determine the respiratory indices capable of improving predictive accuracy of extubation success through serial measurements of during spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) in automatic tube compensation (ATC) pattern of mechanical ventilation. ⋯ It is important to observe change of various respiratory indices dynamically during SBT in patients ventilated in ATC pattern. ΔRSBI60_1 and ΔRSBI60_1/RSBI1 have greater predictive value for extubation success. Stable or decreased RSBI60 means higher extubation success rate.

Comparative Study[Selection of suitable procedure in the treatment of degenerative lumbar scoliosis based upon imaging studies].
To compare the clinical efficacies of two different procedures in the treatment of degenerative lumbar scoliosis. ⋯ As an alternative, safe and effective procedure, modified TLIF instrumented is superior to PLF instrumented in the treatment of lumbar degenerative scoliosis.

[Predication of volume responsiveness by brachial artery velocity change during passive leg raising].
To evaluate whether or not brachial artery peak velocity (Vpeak-BA) induced by passive leg raising (PLR) may predict volume responsiveness. ⋯ Brachial artery peak velocity induced by passive leg raising is a reliable indicator of predicting volume responsiveness in patients with spontaneous breathing.
