Meta Analysis Comparative Study[Comparison of total disc replacement versus fusion for lumbar degenerative disc disease: a Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials].
To compare the related clinical outcomes of total disc replacement (TDR) versus fusion in management of lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD)and provide available basis for choice of surgical procedure. ⋯ Regardless TDR may be more effective comparable to lumbar fusion at the immediate postoperative time, vigorous evidence is still requisite to certify the result in long-term follow-up.

Randomized Controlled Trial[A prospective randomized controlled trial of pancreatic duct stent internal versus external drainage with pancreaticojejunostomy for the early curative effect after pancreaticoduodenectomy].
To investigate the effect of pancreatic duct stent internal versus external drainage with pancreaticojejunostomy on the early curative effect after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). ⋯ Pancreatic duct stent external drainage can effectively reduce the morbidity of pancreatic fistula and the overall complications after PD, which is safe and feasible. The method is worthy of popularization and application clinically.

[Changhai fulcrum bending radiographic technique to assess curve flexibility in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis].
To evaluate the role and value of Changhai fulcrum bending radiograph(CH-FBR) in curve flexibility assessment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS) patients. ⋯ CH-FBR is a more reliable and effective method than traditional FBR and supine side-bending for curve flexibility evaluation in AIS patients. Moreover, compared to the traditional FBR and side-bending radiograph, the flexibility suggested by the optimized height CH-FBR more closely approximates the postoperative result made by pedicle screws fixation and fusion.
